I have a Dell Studio 1558 with windows 7 that I've had for about two years. Just a few days ago I could not get it to turn on. I've tried it with multiple chargers and it still doesn't work. What does happen though is the light on my laptop which indicates it is plugged in is on, which leads to believe that at least it's recognizing that it is connected to power but it just can't turn on. I get absolutely no sound at all when I press the power button and right now I'm thinking my motherboard is shot. I'm not 100% sure of that though which is why I came here so I could have a better idea before I shell out the $100 for a new motherboard.
