Before I start, I want to let you know that I am not new to laptops and repairs. I have fixed all kids of things with laptops before. Just so long as I know Where To Look.
Issue: My laptop will turn on "Sometimes" It will go several days sometimes weeks before I can get it to turn on. Sometimes it works fine for a few days. Then its doing it again.
Parts Replaced: DC Daughter board, Power Switch, power supply, battery.
I took my multi-meter and checked for power between the daughter board and motherboard. I get power.
I then checked for power from the battery to the motherboard. I get power.
I have even read about a fuse. But have not located this. But generally, if a fuse is blown, it won't work randomly. Blown is blown.
This is a random issue. I have read all the posts I could find. Most of the time people continue having this issue. There just has to be a fix for this short of replacing the motherboard. Also, if a refurbished motherboard corrects the problem, then what was it that was repaired to make it work again. If a new motherboard is the fix, then will I start having this issue again after a year or so? Back to square one again?
Dell, Do you or do you not know what is wrong. Please do not give me a standard cookie cutter answer. I need a real answer from someone that knows exactly what is wrong.
