Dell Inspiron 1564 does not turn on

I have a similar issue. I just ran out of warranty(go figure) and my inspiron 1564 won't turn on either. I was first getting 3 blinking lights. first-power light, then boot light, then battery light and then nothing came on. I did what all these different posts said. Opened it up, removed the key board and mouse, battery, reset, and now I am only getting the power light blink one and battery light blink once. It still doesn't turn on. I though i was getting some where when I got rid of one light. But to no avail...comp still won't turn on :emotion-9: Please someone help me. Do I need a new mother board? SHould I just go buy another computer? Atleast I know the hard drive is ok. What do I do. PLease help.

Thanks so much,

Jillian

Same over here.The blue charger light would go on and then off as soon as you plug in the adapter. No effect with or without the battery plugged in. Then, after a few days, it just started working by itself - as if nothing had happened. and then, again back to problem. Tried ur advices:

Disconnect your AC adapter

Remove the battery

Push the power "On" button for at least 20 seconds.

..... but no use. laptop out of warranty

Would appreciate if someone can guide on the cause of the problem and how to resolve this.

Thanking you,

Hi Akash Ravi,

It looks like the problem is with the motherboard as the light on the adapter goes off when the adapter is connected to the computer.

In case of expired warranty scenario, we would not be able to extend warranty entitled services.

As the warranty on the computer has expired, below link would help you in contacting expired warranty services (this is for US based customers):http://dell.to/4LOBWi

hi ali this has just happened to me, all you say happened to mine. It was passed the warrenty so i rang this number at dell 08443381200 ,log in the service code and then you are put through to customer service. My fault was a faulty motherboard and also the battery was shorting everything so this also had to be replaced ( which appeared to be the main problem). Has i had no warranty i had to pay for motherboard and get a new warranty for another two years ,which worked out cheaper in the long run. The engineer has just fitted and all is working now ,

Hi laviv,

Are you able to see Dell logo or the computer does not power on at all?

Do you hear any beep codes from computer?

You can drain out the residual power of computer by following the steps below:

• Power off your computer. 
• Please remove the AC adapter and battery of your computer. 
• Press and hold the power button of your computer for 10-15 seconds to drain out the residual power. 
• Release the power button. 
• Insert the battery in and connect the AC adapter. 
• Then try powering on the computer.  

Please let me know the status of light on AC adapter and power button light of computer.  

Please reply with information. 

I just joined this community just to thank you Bay Wolf. Your simple solution totally worked for my Inspiron. Wonder why it happened in the first place. This is the first issue I've had with the lap top and it's only 1.5 years old.

You the man Bay Wolf! Worked for me too!!
