E6410 will not power on

Question

My Latitude E6410 will not power on. If I press the power button, nothing happens - at all. But when I keep the power button pressed for about 15 seconds, the power LED comes on for about 5 seconds, then goes off again. When it comes on, nothing else happens. The screen, nor fan, nor anything else comes on. Just the power LED.

I tried clearing the CMOS memory (by removing the main battery and CMOS battery and pressing the power button for 30 seconds). Did not help.

Is this laptop dead? Other things I can try?

Hi Zippy70,

The symptoms mentioned seems to be an issue with the motherboard failure. However, have you tried checking with a known good ac adapter? Or with a known good battery to check if the battery or adapter is at fault.

Hello and thank you for your answer! Yes, I checked with a known good adapter and battery (tested on another E6410 I have here). No difference.

If the ac adapter is fine then the issue is with the system motherboard, you can Private message us the service tag we will the system warranty and help further. If you are aware the system is out of warranty you can reach out to any nearest Dell service center and have the system repaired.

Remove all batteries and try to turn on with no batteries installed. It should at least power on with no batteries physically installed.

The other "issue" can be the cooling fan is bad so it shuts down due to overheating. Replacing with working unit is what I recommend for such an old unit.

I'm pretty sure a 7 year old laptop is no longer under warranty. :)

Tried switching it on without the battery. Makes no difference.
