Laptop doesn't turn on at all. No beep sounds. No caps-lock nor Num-lock light blinks. Only the light near the power plug blinks when you press the power button (this led is just a small dot left of the power plug). This led is off even when the power plug is connected and givingout good power:
- When I connect the AC adapter and press the power button, I see the power light (near DC input Jack) blink three or four times.
- Doing the same with the battery removed, doesn't give any blinks.
- Doing the same with battery but without connecting the AC adapter, doesn't show any blinks.
I`ve tested the AC adapter plug voltage with a multimeter and voltage is OK: 19v
I wonder if the DC charge input connector is bad

Any help will be welcome.

Thanks darkbreeze. The blinks you say are caps-lock and number-lock according to the website you said. The led I said is the little dot near the power plug. I'll let you know when I find something more ;)
