XPS M1330 went dead, please advice
My XPS M1330 was running but it went dead. I changed the power supply cord, and still nothing happened.
Have you seen this kind of problem? Please advice on what I can do and what may have done wrong. Thank you.

Two other things:
Verify that the AC adapter is OK (LED ON). If it's not, replace the adapter.
Try without the battery. If it'll power up, replace the battery with a new one.
Failing that, the mainboard is bad - if you're under warranty, call Dell. If not, it'sa $400-500 repair bill you'll be facing - and likely without coverage for an additional year on the known-faulty nVidia chip (if you have nVidia video). If you do, you may be better off replacing the system rather than repairing it with a new mainboard.
