The battery on my Dell Inspiron laptop died a couple of months ago even though I’ve only had the laptop a little over a year. Someone told me it was because I didn’t condition the battery properly. Anyway I didn’t have money at the time to buy a new battery so I continued running it off the power cord.

Now all of a sudden the laptop won’t start or boot up at all. When I press the power button all the lights come on for 2 seconds and then they switch off leaving only the power light and blue-bluetooth light on. And nothing, no screen activity, fans, nothing.

I tried taking out the battery and booting on the power cord alone but the same thing happens.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

my computer just died. i had it plugged into the battery backup?

the battery backup doesn’t work for some reason. i plugged the CPU directly into the wall and computer still won’t turn on. could it be the power cord from the CPU to the power source?
