Hi, 

For me to help you in a better manner, I need a few details from you: 

  1. Please let me know the status of the power light on the computer?
  2. Is there a power light on the power adapter?
  3. May I know where are you getting 4 red blinking led lights? 

The first step which I would recommend is to remove the power cable, any external peripherals and the battery. Hold the power button down for 15-20 seconds and then put the battery and the adapter back in and start the computer. Check if it works. 

Please check the jack on the AC Adapter for any damage.

Try a different good known AC Adapter to check system functionality?

Look for a green light on the AC adapter or a blue light on the connector that connects to the computer. If the AC Adapter light goes off after connecting it to the computer then it may be an issue with the motherboard.

Run the Pre-boot system assessment test.

While holding down the FN key switch on the computer till you see the test running on the screen. 

You can refer the Dell Article 266787 on www.support.dell.com

http://dell.to/oe1Qg1 

Let me know if you are getting any error messages. 

Please respond for further assistance. 

Thanks & Regards
Rathish C
