My son's Dell Latitude D830 had been needing two tries to boot up and he was just about to
plug in an external drive to backup the harddrive when it shut down immediately after booting. It now will not even power up. You press the power button and for a split second the power led flickers, then nothing. No power, fans or any other lights.
Apparently nothing spilled on it. Just out of warranty. I removed 17 screws from the back but still not coming apart. I think I have to remove the "hinge cover" and the "palm rest" to have a closer look.
Any ideas? How do you test the battery, doesn't seem to be any exposed contacts?
