AC Power Adapter Light Turns off When Plugged Into Laptop
My Inspiron 1520 has no power to the system. I have used multiple AC power adapters, and the same problem occurs: the light on the adapter turns off when I plug it into the laptop. It is as if a short in the computer blows a fuse in the AC adapter. Does anybody know of a simple solution to this problem? I have tried to remove the battery and plug it in, but that did not work. I cannot get any lights on the laptop turn on, so I am fearing this is a motherboard issue.
To go with this problem, my service tag has rubbed off the sticker, so I have no way of contacting support. Is there any way of retrieving the service tag on a dead laptop? Any help here is appreciated.
Thanks,

The service tag number is on your Dell invoice as well. This is indeed a faulty system board - you will need to replace the board.
