Dell XPS won't turn on...HELP!!

While on the internet the computer screen went black. It would not recover so we closed lid. Removed battery for hard startup. Nothing happens. Computer is plugged into power source and when I press "on", green light goes on for 3 seconds and turns off. No indication during those 3 seconds that computer is trying to reboot. Can anyone help me! Cannot afford to call Dell or another store to evaluate.

Thankyou, Robin

Sounds like a problem with the board or CPU. Being it powers off after 3 seconds. Without spare parts to replace each to trouble shoot ur kind of stuck taking it to a shop.

Also could be a problem with the LCD or VC but my first guesses would be the CPU or board.

If it is within the warrantee period, then you should be able to get them to look at it and - more importantly - repair it for you...
