Fellow Dell-Nuts,
I'm in the process of troubleshooting an Inspiron 3500 laptop
that, while perfectly OK in other regards, has problems powering up. It
often takes multiple presses of the power button to even get a response,
and when said response happens it only stays on for a few seconds before
shutting down again.
My first thought: Bad DC-DC board, and I have acted on that
assumption by tracking down a cheap replacement part on E-pay.
Thoughts from others who have troubleshot similar problems would
be welcome. In short: Is there anything else I should check for?
Thanks much.
