HELP MY COMPUTER WONT TURN ON!!!!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi i have a dell latitude CP M166ST and when i hit the power button the power light comes on but nothing happens then 5 seconds later the light goes off and nothing happens.

When I turn it on the display has nothing on it and I cant hear anything like the hard drive.

The battery is fully charged and the plug to the mains is connected and turned on

I am going on holiday in 5 days and I would really like it to be fixed by then!

Try reseating the memory module(s).  If that doesn't work, chances are it needs professional repair, which on a system of that vintage, may not be worth the cost.

Look in the user manual. If you don't have a user manual you can download it from the Dell support site. Use the "Product Support" tab at the top left of this page.
