Dell Inspiron 1520 - monitor won't turn on at all.
Hi guys
so I've had my laptop for like a year, and the previous owner had it for 3 or 4 months. So it's still relatively new.
It has always worked well up until this point. Basically, the monitor just doesn't turn on & when I press the power button, the lights on the keyboard just flash for a while & then nothing happens. It doesn't heat up or make noise & it does it whether I power it with the battery or plug it in. Anyways I don't know much about computer, and since I can't turn it on at all I don't really know what to do for it. I can't afford to take it to be looked at right now. Has anyone had this problem in the past & have any idea of what could be wrong? Ideas on how to fix it would be much appreciated but just a clue as to what's going on is great too.
Thanks in advance guys :)

My monitor died on my Inspiron 1520, also. It was out of warranty and when I took it in to be looked at they told me it would cost more to fix/replace it than to just get a new laptop. I didn't throw it out, though. I went to Sam's and bought an external monitor that was on sale and had a USB connection. Now I use the old Inspiron as a "CPU" and have it connected to the new monitor. I had the people at the Laptop Fix-it place just take the old laptop monitor off. Hope you can understand what I mean. There's nothing wrong with the computer part, so why throw it out? Get a new external monitor and use it like a desktop PC.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 labtop and mine tends to shut off by itself iv'e never experienced your problem though well anyways your best options are to read the owners manual that came with the labtop if information in there doesn't help then your next option would be to contact Dell you can go on their website and click on contact us at the top of the page then click on contact technical support then click on get technical support Dell would probably be able to help you just explain to them what happened it would also be good to ask Dell if there's still a warranty on the labtop or if it expired that'd be good to know :)
