Ok, I have a Dell Inspiron 2200. The laptop is about a year and a half old and will no longer POST.
When I press the power button, the 4 lights come on then turn off about 5 seconds later. There is nothing on the screen and the diagnostic boot also does the same.
I tried swapping the CPU as i upgraded to a faster one about a year ago. Nothing. I tried to power up with no cpu installed and it did the same thing. The 4 lights came on and turned off about 5 seconds later.
