dell 1537 wont boot up
When I switch the laptop on, I hear the HD spin up and the lights/ buttons for sounds & media can be pressed, but I do no get any output on the screen. No Dell Logo, nothing. I do not see the Hard drive activity light on again after this either. Any ideas?.. i have tried the hdmi cable as well the indicator light does not indicate it is running

Unplug the system, remove the battery and hold the power button for 30 sec. Remove and reinstall both memory modules. Verify that the LED on the AC adapter is ON before you plug in the notebook end. If it's not, the adapter is bad.
If the adapter is OK, plug in the notebook end and try powering up. If you can, but can't with the battery installed, the battery is bad - replace it with a new one.
If the system won't power up after the reset procedure above and a good AC adapter, the mainboard is likely bad.
