Hi,

To begin with, remove the power cable, battery and disconnect all peripherals, then hold the power button for 15-20 seconds and put the battery and the adapter back in and start the computer, which may fix the issue.

If the computer still doesn’t come up, Remove the Battery from the Notebook system and try powering on the system using only the AC Adapter.

Please ensure that the Power Led on the AC Adapter is lit to ensure the functionality of the AC Adapter; also please try a Know Good AC Adapter if available.

If the computer still doesn’t turn on, then would suggest going for a system board replacement.

You can also refer to below link, to troubleshoot more of power issues:

You can refer the Dell Article 578095 on www.support.dell.com

Please respond for any further assistance.

Thanks & Regards
