Dell Inspirion N7010
My Inspiron won't turn on. I received a new Dell 9 cell battery and cable today. I've tried the recommendations of removing battery, cable, and doing all the finger tricks but the charge light only flickers for a few seconds and nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
Thanks/Jacquie.

Certified Dell Battery directly from Dell Parts? Exactly the same battery as original? This is an old computer that might have a motherboard failure. IMO it is a waste of money replacing the battery on an old laptop. $130 goes a long way towards a new laptop. See if you can return it. To test--remove the battery and use the adapter alone.

Thanks Mary for your response. I had tried that as well but it didn't work. I have ready some other responses to this exact same problem going back to 2010 and the answers have varied from motherboard to ac/dc connector problem but I have tried all that I see and not able to get the laptop to come on.
Any other suggestions?
