I'm not very savvy when it comes to laptops. I have two identical laptops, old school Dell Latitude D410's. One works just fine, and the other does not boot at all. I have tried various things including, using the working battery pack and power adapter from the running computer. Swapped out the hard drive from the working computer to the non-booting laptop. Nothing seems to work. I really don't have a clue as to what it could be. But it does absolutely nothing. No attempt to boot, no sounds, no lights, etc. Any ideas?
Most likely a dead mainboard, use it for parts. – onxx – 2012-02-17T02:29:09.980
you'd want to try this trick with pressing the power button while the system is disconnected
