my parents have a dell 1520 and for a while the computer would only turn on if it was plugged in and now it will not turn on at all...think it is the battery?
i tried plugging the adapter directly into the computer with the battery out and it still does not work but i just didnt want to buy a battery and the board or something be fried
its doing nothing,no lights no sounds no nothing and its not even 2 years old
i actually just figured i it out..was the battery but the wall outlet i used in my house was fried so i tried a different outlet and it turned right on..funny how its the one thing u dont think of
