Inspiron E1705 will power on for about 5 seconds then goes off
Hi, I really, really, really need help on this one. I am pretty savvy at fixing things and have a basic knowledge of computers. My Inspiron E1705 will come on for about 5 seconds when I press the power button, then makes a clicking noise and turns off. The same thing happens when I plug the AC power adapter into the laptop without the battery in. I have a solid green light on my AC adapter and the battery light is currently charging in trickle mode. I do not hear anything really starting up inside the computer when I press the power on button or when it goes off after 5 seconds. If anyone can PLEASE help I would greatly appreciate it!

If it won't power up with either a charged battery or the AC adapter, you've got a bad system board.

Yes, it's the system board - your call as to whether to repair or replace. The boards costs $300+, but a new 17" notebook of the same level will cost quite a bit more than that.
