    I have a Dell XPS M1330 and all of a sudden it will not start up at all. I have used a different ac power supply and also a different battery but to no avail. Can any one point me in the correct direction to solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

    You already tried what we could have suggested... Test a different ad adapter, and/or test a different battery.

    At this point, it is most likely a dead motherboard.

    Time to scrap that laptop, and start shopping for a new one.
