Laptop Won't turn on (Dell Inspiron 1545)

[cgodwin1976]

Ok, my laptop worked fine last night when I shut it down and this morning I had nothing! It will not turn on it will not show that the charger is plugged in nothing! The battery is good I tried it in another computer as well as the charger being good, the hard-drive is good to as I yanked it out and put it in the one I am on right now Which is the exact same model as my one that quit working since the hard-drive was bad in this one so it isn't the hard-drive either! What else could the issue be, I wanted to eventually replace the battery and hard-drive on the computer that wasn't working so I could have two laptops. But if it isn't the hard-drive, battery, or charger what else could it be? Like I said it doesn't even show that it is receiving power either would this be the motherboard?

A common problem which causes that is a broken power jack - you can check for that by wiggling the power cord where it goes into the laptop - if it seems loose or you see the battery charge light intermittently, that's likely the problem. There are companies that specialize in that repair (it's that common) for a fairly reasonable fee or, if you are adept at soldering it can be a DIY thing
That isn't the only possibility but it's common enough for your symptoms that it should be checked
