    Hi guys,

    I have experienced boot problem with my xps 1530. After going into a hibernate mode, it didn't boot again, neither showing anything on the screen. I did a LED test with FN+Power button, giving me a signalization that either Mobo or CPU is not working. I went then to the authorized Dell Support Center, and they told me that the mobo is dead. Because i couldn't believe in that :p, i went to a local notebook repair service, where a guy working there opened the notebook and noticed that a CPU has fallen from the holding case (unbelievable, i opened my notebook only twice, once to put some RAM and the second time to clean it with compressed air) , and so there were no contacts with mobo.

    Went home, switch my notebook again, everything was working fine for 2-3 hours, and then after restart, it shows me again the same LED error and won't boot.

    Any ideas what could be now a problem? Defective Mobo?
