The last time I used my Compaq Presario v2000 I had it on battery power. The battery died and now that I am trying to use it I have the power adapter plugged into it and I get nothing when I hit the power button. The charge light will not come on either.

I have a Dell Inspiron 5150 that doesn't seem to post. When I turn it on, the power light comes on, the battery light comes on, I hear the heat sink fan run, but I don't get the Dell splash screen. I tried a different video card. Nothing. I connected to an external monitor. Nothing. I have heard of a lot of problems with this model, but never about the video socket on the motherboard. Is there anything else I could try?
