So recently my m15x died, i think its the motherboard but wanted to get more opinions. I can confirm the cpu, memory, and hard drive is all good. The issue is it doesn't turn on at all. The charger lights up, so I think thats good. I tested the processor, memory, and hard drive in another system and those all work. I couldn't test the video card. The battery has 2 dots of power when i press the small button on it to see how charged the battery was. The battery doesn't charge at all when I plug in the AC adapter. What do you guys think the issue is? Is it the motherboard like I suspect? It's an aging system and I don't know if i want to invest too much money to fix this system.
System specs:
i7 720qm
4gb ddr3 1333
500gb 7200rpm sata
gtx 260m 1gb
I contacted dell to see what the problem could be. Unfortunately my system is out of warranty and if i ordered anything through dell it would cost an arm and a leg and not a 100% solution. Last thing I would want happen is to spend a crap load of money on a new motherboard or video card and find out that it isn't the problem.
