Dell D600.

tried 2 power supplies, and a good charged battery and the laptop wont turn on. no LED blinks or anything.

i suspect there is some kind of short somewhere but i didn't find it when looked for it inside out. reason for suspicion - when you plug in the power supply on its own, there is a led on the power supply that turns on, but as soon as you plug it into the laptop that led turns off. both power supplies are known to be good and working.

anyone had similar troubles? where could be the most obvious short in this laptop?

before it completely failed there was a day or so when you pressed the power button and all the status leds would blink rapidly for a second or two but it wouldn't turn on (with either battery only or plugged in)

thanks
