    If its just the battery you should be able to go into the bios (F2 ) and set the time and date then it will boot, it that is the case then open the underside of the laptop and see if the battery is there, if it is then its a simple swap, if not then it needs to be taken apart.

    I decided to give a go & managed to change the cell battery myself & happy days its working fine a bit tricky to do but with a bit of patience I got it sorted its just a pity dell didn't just put a small opening on the bottom of the laptop which would have the cell battery replaced in a couple of minutes!!
