    Hi, apologies for hijacking this thread but my laptop, a Dell Vostro 1500 wont turn on at all. The battery seems fine so i dont think its that. A mate said to me it may be the motherboard and if it is where can i get a new one and secondly any idea of the cost involver. Thanks in advance.

    Hey prince20,

    To start a new thread in any forum, make your way into the forum, eg LAPTOPS. And click on this newthread.gif button which should be on the top left hand corner of your screen.

    Now, back on-topic, i take it the laptop doesn't work when plugged in? Is there any sign of life at all? Lights? Fans? Anything? It could be a mobo problem, but have you checked the charger? There should be a green light on the large part of the charger when it's plugged in.

    Hi mate,
    Thanks for that but the new thread icon is not on my screen anywhere for some reason:confused: Anyway about the laptop, nothing happening at all when i turn on the laptop, only sign of life is the light at the side indicating thaat the battery is charging. The light on the charger is also there but thats it...any ideas on what to do with it?
    Cheers
