Hi all, I have a slight problem with a Dell inspiron 8200. It's kinda dead. When either the battery or PSU are connected, the power light is on. removing either one, the power light remains on. It only goes out when the battery AND psu are removed. The power buttin does nothing. Holding it in for 10 or more seconds does nothing. As yet, all removable drives (except CD) have been removed. It's a friend's laptop and she's not happy undoing screws! Dell Tech Support have been told and they can't work it out. She has next day support with them, and the laptop's under warranty... but Dell say it'll be a 6 day turnaround - IMO this is unacceptable for the support contract she has. I have a horrible feeling it's a dead mobo - has anyone else had these symproms? There are no warning beeps at any time, the NumLock, CapsLock etc keys have no effect, it's not the display as there are no sounds from the HDD powering up, so am running short on ideas. My only hope is that it could be a hibernation problem that it's having trouble coming out of... but surely then holding the power button down should reset that? Any help would be appreciated. Mark
