    my inspiron E-1505 that I haven't used in a couple months won't boot. It has power and is charging the battery. The battery is okay. I get lights on the unit when I push start but nothing past that.
    If the cmos battery was dead would it start anyway? I took the HD out and put it back in. I get nothing on the screen and no sounds at all. The led's on the MB all flash during start. Any ideas?

    What is the pattern of the flash? That is actually "error" code. You need that to diagnose.
