    I have a D600 Dell which was working fine. Nothing happens when I press the power button anymore though and I have tried a different dell charger. I also tried holding the power button down for 30 seconds with the power disconnected.

    Anyone have any ideas to fix it?

    Thanks.

    Did you remove the battery as well? ;)

    Yeah, the charger light turns off when you plug it in.

    Do you know how to take out the RAM sticks?

    Might work, there maybe another problem that is stopping it working

    It won't boot up to the operating system you are using since you need memory, but you might have a memory fault that is probably preventing your laptop from working altogether
