Hello,

I've had my Inspiron N5010 for about 2 and a half years, and have never had a problem with it until recently.

About a week and a half ago, I got a notification saying that I needed to replace my battery. So I continued to use it while I was waiting for the battery to come in. For a while it worked without problems but after a day it would turn on once for about 5 minutes and then it would turn itself off and not turn back on (without making any beeping noises or anything).

My battery finally arrived last night, so I put in the new battery and let it charge overnight before turning on my laptop. This morning I turned it on, but I'm still having the same problem. It turned on once for about five minutes and then shut itself off. Now when I turn it on it stays on long enough to go to the login screen and then turns off. The most recent time I tried to turn it on it said that a disk needs to be checked for consistency, but once again won't stay on long enough for it to actually go through the entire process. 

Just wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar, any advice at all will help!

Thanks,

Taylor
