Help you how? If you know for sure that the CPU has died, - you could replace it. However - 3000 series inspirons can be purchased online for $200- $300 USD, as far as I recall it's an older model with 3rd generation I3 CPU, so unless you're replacing the CPU on your own, it's probably more cost effective to purchase a new laptop.

exact motherboard model ? does it have dedicated graphics chip or only intel integrated within cpu ? symptoms that no charger light or you get black screen with fans on?

  1. remove battery , remove charger cable , after that press power button for 1 minute. Atfter that add only power cable not battery and try to power on.
  2. tested charger with multimeter ? try another charger (dont buy unless works)
  3. Look around your laptop for broken USB ports , bent pins, if you see messed up looking usb port take a picture from it

msg back if these wont work, need further disassembly
