I have a question about my dell inspiron mothboard!!! my laptop turn off right after i turn it on, if i hold the power button when i turn it on , it show the screen for 2 sec longer.
The screen is working fine, the power from the charger adapter is not going to motherboard, it turn on because i bought a new battery, otherwise it would not charge or do anything using the charger. also the charger is working fine i tested the charger and it works on a different laptop, I tried to used different hard drive, and removed one of the ram sticks, and after that i remove everything, except CPU, graphic card, and still turn off after 1 to 2 sec, and also don't know if i need to change the power jack because it not sending anything from the charger to motherboard !!!
Please help. if anything you can help me with here !!! thank you for your time!!!
