having some problems with my dell inspiron 5150. at first it was the random shutdown issue. but after i left it alone for a year (went overseas), it would seem taht I can't switch on the notebook!

I believe this is a common problem among this particular Dell model. something involving the mb. some removing a dud plastic and soldering work maybe.

just need to change a few parts not the whole mb.
