Greetings Almodman!
The first thing I would do is remove the battery and then try to power up on AC power only. If that does not help, go to the below document, page 120 and follow the troubleshooting there. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_inspiron_laptop/inspiron-1526_owner's%20manual_en-us.pdf
If you need further assistance, contact Dell technical support: http://www.dell.com/support/contents/us/en/19/category/Contact-Information/Technical-Support
