Hi
My laptop (Dell Inspiron 5410/5418) wont turn on.

There are no power light indicator when used both original power adapter and usb-c.
Already tried hard power reset, disconnecting battery, disconnecting cmos, reseating/removing ram, even changing the ssd
Nothing working.

Anyone got any other solution for me to try?
Thanks

Thn the motherboard could be dead.

Ya. That no power light indicator probably tell all d

Dont mind i chip in .. i kena before, on my g3 .. cannot power on .. i plug in my power, the light (g3 plug got blue glowing rim) turn off

Press all the buttons for reset / hard reset i can find on the web, no solution .. so i open up n have a look (since no warranty d) .. found a very small dead lipas on the mobo

That fella is causing a short

After cleaning it - then ok d ... lesson learned, dont eat while working/playing on a laptop

(Disclaimer - i no expert in repairing laptop - watch youtube videos on how to remove d case etc and use eyes to check to see anything out of place)

Since you are able to disconnect the CMOS battery... did you dismantle the entire mainboard for cleaning ?

Sometimes a small dust or food residues maybe the root cause, use Isopropyl alcohol to clean it.
And you might want to refresh the CPU thermal paste too.


Hope this helps...

Try remove the RAM and see if there is any beeping sounds or disconnect the LVDS cable for the LCD

If you tried everything listed there, then the board is confirmed fried. But it could be repaired though.

There is nothing more you could do anymore. Motherboard needs to be sent for repair. Plaza Imbi shop can do it.

If there are no lights at all, not even a blink from the charging LED, it’s likely a motherboard issue. Since you’ve already ruled out RAM, SSD, battery, CMOS, and power sources, there’s not much left to test without specialized tools. You could try disconnecting everything except for the power button and motherboard to see if you get any response. If nothing, time to consider a motherboard replacement or professional diagnostic

Since there’s no power light at all and you’ve tested both USB-C and barrel charger, the fault is likely before the boot process even starts. Common causes on that Dell model are a failed power delivery board or a blown fuse on the motherboard. If you’re comfortable, a technician can check for voltage at the charging port, otherwise it’s best to send it in.

Was it expensive to repair motherboard? 🐝🐝🐝

For power issues, the usual repair costs range around RM150 or more/less. Price may vary depends on the extent of the damage.

Noted, thank you 🙂👍🐝

Power MOSFETs fried.

Need to change. Easily over 150-250 at Digital Mall.
