    I don't really know what to say, as my laptop has never not booted after shutting its self off (specs in sig). But I think that your laptops motherboard may be dead. I am not sure so if you can call Dell up or talk to their instant chat and let it may shed more light on the situation.

    Also, do you still have warranty?

    Did it shut off several times without warning while on AC power and on Battery?

    Because mine has been doing that since I got it...
