Dell Inspiron M5030 not powering up.

I recently replaced my charger and battery for my Inspiron M5030. It worked for bout an hour. Now every time I try to turn it on the led light in the front panel comes on, However, it immediately goes right back off. I can hear the fan come on but it only stays on for 5 seconds if that long. I followed the steps for unplugging power cord and taking out battery.. That still did not solve problem. What can I do to fix this problem?

Hi Ldarnold,

It seems to be an issue with the motherboard / Power Supply if the system is not receiving enough Power to Isolate this issue. I would suggest that you follow the steps mentioned below and check if you are able to switch ON the system.

  1. Switch off the computer.
  2. Disconnect the AC adapter from the system.
  3. Remove the battery from the computer.
  4. Press and hold down the power button for 15 seconds.
  5. Then connect back all the peripherals and check if you are able to switch ON the system.

Also If the issue still occurs, Then remove the battery and power on the system with only the AC Adapter connected and vice versa and let us know if that works.

Also let us know if the light on the adapter stays on even after connected to the system.

Let us know your findings.
