dell d600 Fails to Start Up

I've had a Dell D600 for almost three years now, and a few hours ago I left to go out for a bit and I unplugged my laptop from the wall-outlet power adpater and put it to sleep. When I got back home the laptop would not wake up out of hibernation mode, so I held down the power button and shut it off. Happens occasionally.

When I tried to turn it on when it was just on battery power, all of the indicator lights flickered and the computer hummed for three seconds before shutting off; all of the indicator lights shut off unless I pressed the power button, even though the laptop was at full power.

When I plugged my laptop back into the wall outlet, the power indicator light did not turn on, and when I tried to boot the machine I achieved the same end result: flickering of lights then nothing.

thanks for your help

 

Hi

I have recently bought a second hand Dell Latitude D600, and it has the exact same problem... Can anyone help??? I'll be really grateful.

Thanks

 

^ Very good that you did a search.

I was going to suggest to the OP that the Dell is probably gone since, with me products seem to last a couple of months after the warranty and go kaput, but since you just bought yours and the same happened, I would suggest taking it to where you bought it, or let someone with that model help you
