Dell inspiron 5150 do not come on when the power button pressed

My son gave me this laptop and told me some thing is wrong whit it. while i was in his house i turned the power on and every thing was working fine. i also plugged it in my house and every thing was working fine. the next day i was not able to turne it on. can you tell me if the problem is battery, ac adapter, ac adapter connector, power supply or any other components inside the laptop. as soon as i try to power on with or bwithout ac adapter, the first led ( greene) blinks only one time and the middle led and the last led blinks ten times and after that nothing happens. if the battery is very low or can not hold the charge at all, would you be able to turn the laptop on. thank you much mory

If you remove the battery and disconnect power cord, then hold power button for 20 seconds, then reconnect power cord but do not re-insert battery, and the unit powers on okay, the problem may be your battery. If there is still an intermittent problem, the power connector inside the unit may be loose and need re-soldering, or you could have a bad power supply.

If you have any other users you can try to remove your son's password from the other user account. If you don't then you'll need a password reset boot disk.

Sound card is broken

If your 5150 is off warranty, you have a serious problem.
Replacing the motherboard in a laptop is a very tricky and potentiallydangerous thing. If you are not a trained technician, I would recommendthat you take it to a professional.
Also, the cost of the motherboard and its installation is most likelyto be close to the price of a new or used machine. Perhaps this is abetter option.
Another thought occurs to me, if the machine works fine in every other way maybe you can learn to live without sound?
