computer will not turn on

I'm having problems with my inspiron 1150. I used the computer, shut it down, and now I cannot get it to turn back on. Any help would be great! Thanks

Reseat everything removeable (RAM, any PCI or PCMCIA cards, battery, drives). If it still won't start, call Dell; the system needs repair.

Try,

remove AC adapter and then remove battery so there is no power source to the laptop at all

plug in just the AC adapter only (no battery)

try to start the computer

if it boots, shut down normally and replace the battery.

if it doesn't, check your adapter is actually putting out power (voltmeter), try using a different adapter or try recharging your battery in someone else's computer.
