    Hi all i have a dell studio 1535 laptop and when you power it on it only stays on for about 20 seconds, everything goes on like fan and that tried to run diag test but never gets all way through, tried pulling ram out and reseating it and just leaving one in ,felt cpu and that nothing getting hot and not blocked up with dust or anything, tried leaving battery out after discharging it still no luck any ideas would be good.

    Does it actually POST/get into BIOS or does it not display anything at all?

    Well, I suspect your motherboard is probably hosed, but it's definitely weird that it'll at least run for a little.
