Dell vostro a860 no power
I am trying to get my dell Vostro a860 laptop to power on. I know the AC cord is working and the machine is getting power because the yellow light on the network connector, on the back lights up.
However it is completely dead. I tried w/ battery, w/out, reseated the RAM and still no power.
Any ideas?

@CompProbSolv,
>>Where is the blinking light that you see when you plug in the power adaptor? Is it on the battery or on the laptop or ?
It is in the laptop, but as already mention that light does not mean the notebook is on, it is just an indicator that the battery is charging. The light that indicates the notebook is on is still off...

If the motherboard is gone. Is there a chance that this can be repaired? Did it cost like buying a new laptop?

Thank you, very much for your quick replies, I really appreciate it, it's just that I can't check the laptop until week ends so please expect an update most probably on Monday.
