Hi Guys, I have a Dell Insperion Laptop--one of the really older basic models however it has been giving me great service for several years, I am very careful to do my disk clean up & defrags regularly. I have never used this computer for internet just for school papers & to run various CD's & movies. At this time for some unklnown reason, it will not start up, it remains all black with no blinking lights or anything. I took the back pieces out & did my usual compressed air clean up and when everything was put back it started up for just a couple of seconds then powered down again & back to all black, could this be that my battery is dead? I have never replaced it, it never sustained any signifigant time on battery alone anyway since I got it, so I never really ran on battery power all these years. Please advise if you think I can go buy a new battery & try it, and if that doen't help do stores take them back--they are a lot of money!
