Dell laptop won't turn on
I have a dell studio laptop and it will not power up anymore. I plug it in and the power light comes on and when I press the power button nothing happens. Any ideas what it might be? Thanks.

My wife's Dell will not turn on if it is plugged in. It must be unplugged to turn on. It was designed this way.
It has to be unplugged to turn on. Once it is turned on it an be plugged in and runs fine, either plugged in or unplugged.
My guess is that they designed it this way so it will use the battery instead of always having it on charge. Could make the battery last longer???
