I have a 4 year old Dell Inspiron 1720 with a graphics card. The machine won't run off the AC Adaptor (I have 2 and doesn't work on either one). The battery is fully discharged by the LED's on the back of the bettery. the machine won't run off the battery either.
When I push the power button it just flashes the power light and battery light. No attempt to startup.
I pulled the sims and coin battery to reset everything in case it was software.. no change.
I pulled the motherboard, no cold solder joints on the power jack. I touched them up anyway. I am getting the 19.5V onto the motherboard.
So I'm thinking I shoudl replace the motherboard. a search of the motherboard part number shows I can get new motherboards for $155.
Is there anything else I should check or try before I try a new motherboard?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
