    I just got my precision m4600 today which i bough from the outlet. I had it shipped to manila where i currently am.

    It looks real good, but.. it wont start up :( I press the power button, the FAN starts then shuts down. I contacted dell support and they told me it might be a motherboard problem. Tech support might arrive next week at my place. Any ideas perhaps i just need to reset something?

    thanks all!

    do you have any usb devices connected?
    I experienced a similar behaviour with an xps and when I disconnected the device it would boot up just fine.

    re-seat the memory DIMMS and also try swapping them around including using only one dimm at a time

    Is that the only drawback of the IPS panel(worse battery life/reliance on the power brick)?

    No, there is also so called IPS glow and some (me for example) experience tint (green/pink colorations visible on white and grey colors) in bottom corners.

    1. removed the battery
    2. press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds
    3. attach the battery and voila!
