Dell Latitude E6330 boot problem
Good afternoon,
I'm attempting to repair a Dell Latitude e6330 I have received, but I cannot get it to boot.
When I plug the laptop in with no battery and just the power adapter the power button lights up.
When I push the power button the fan starts up and then 5 seconds later the hard-drive light blinks once and the laptop shuts off. (No Display at all)
If I hold FN+Power Button, I do get the battery LED to blink white, and if I do leave it for about 2 mins I hear the fan starting up again for about 10 seconds then stops.
I have tried all the basic steps as in re-seating ram, removing battery, HD, CMOS Battery and I've also drained the residual power.
No Events found!

Just to add onto this, I do hear the hardrive running as well as it is in this state, but no display.

Create a bootable USB flash drive of some sort of Linux.
If you can boot into it, then the motherboard is fine.
If you can't then you have a bad laptop.
