8200 won't boot up
I have an Inspiron 8200 P4 2.4ghz 512mb Ram 60gig hardrive.
Today while teaching a lesson (yep I'm a school teacher) I walked away from the computer for about 10minutes. when I returned the system was turned off, it appeared that the power was probably low so I plugged it in. Later I went to turn it it on and all I can get is the power light to light up and the three lights on the keyboard then the system just turns off. I have taken out the battery, held the power switch down, unplugged it plugged back in tried to run off just batter off just outlet and I am getting NO WHERE!!!
Please Please help me out. I have a ton of presentations on here including the one I need to present next week for my evaulation.
Sincerely,
Brad

Try leaving the battery out while the system is unplugged and let the system sit without power for at least a minute then plug the system to the AC adaptor and see if the system will boot.
