I bought this from a friend not long ago. It worked just fine. Then the other day I went to turn it on and it gets to the dell logo but then powers off. Now it doesn't even get that far. When I have it plugged in with the home charger cord no lights at all appear. Could this just be a dead battery. I am really looking to sell this thing but obviously I can't do that if it won't power up!! And I don't want to invest in a new battery if that's not going to help!
I have tried holding the power and wifi button while pressing the reset button on the back, no go. I took the battery out and put it back in, no go... Seems all the standard tricks aren't working.
Could the port for the power cord have become disabled/damaged somehow? My power cord still plugs in snugly...
HELP?
