You are going to need a new case (commenly refered to as a shell) for that machine... repairing the power socket is tricky. its best to swap out the parts into a new shell. sniff around on e-bay or if the machine is under warrenty contact dell and have them send you a new shell and put the HD memory and drive in yourself...

check to see if any other appliance works in those sockets. If the socket works. It sounds like the power supply may have gone bad in the computer

you need to find one that gives u enough of the voltage and ampage, as most of the universal ones, do set them selfs to what your laptop needs, and are generally cheaper than the manufactures ones (you just need to know if your laptop falls in the range of what it can supply.\n\n\nif you want manufacture adaptors you could look here for toshiba adaptors http://www.portables.co.uk/acatalog/Toshiba_ac_adapters.html

www.gateway.com would be my suggestion.  But they have retail outlets that sell gateway products as well.  Find those here: http://www.gateway.com/home/products/ret/ret_catalog.shtml?cmpid=ret*HP*seglinks*Retail*HOMEPAGE

You can start by noting what type of slot/socket it has for the CPU, and/or any model numbers / designations to the mainboard, as well as the manufacturer. THEN perhaps we can look up something appropriate.

In Asia somewhere sits this fella who answers the Tech help line for all things Dell and Gateway. Try calling him, if nothing else he will hand you off to at least 5 other interesting people who will also try to answer your question.\nDell 1-800-624-9896\nGateway 1-800-846-2301

Every item sold has to be fused...make sure you checked both the primary and secondary of the power supply first before assuming the laptop has a blown fuse.\n\nGood luck on your quest.

If it doesn't power up then:\n\n1.  power cord / wall outlet\n2.  Power supply\n3.  Motherboard\n\nThe first one is free.  The second one might be free, power supplies tend to go to sleep for a few min when abused.  However, a new power supply is like $40 and easy to install.\n\nThe motherboard is usually terminal these days.

what articles? the ones you get through forums from anybody, or did you go to dell. they usually tell you every thing to do in detail. here's their site and suggestions for your pc:\nhttp://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/tree?c=us&cs=19&journalid=5170A3EF98E511DABDFF85A0E486CE68&l=en&s=dhs&treeid=8D6EF73F9874488880A6CDD994900DD9\nIf this dont work and your still under warranty then you gotta call tech support so they can service the laptop. and dont be suprised if they say that the battery is not covered under warranty (batteries usually don't have as long of a warranty).

there is a green lamp on the AC adapter. does this lamp light wenn the AC adapter is connected to the outlet? is it still light when you push the ON-switch of the laptop?\nIf yes, you have a defective mainboard (more precise, a defective internal power module - this is the weak point of the most Dell laptops).\nbut - if the green lamp on the AC adapter dim when you push the ON-switch, there is most likely a short circuit on the mainboard.

Remove the plate, deconnect the plug from the box and pushed it into the box. Replace the cover with a solid cover plate and put epoxy over the screw head. If you need the socket, break the cover plate and remove the screws with pliers. \nNot pretty but effective.

Search Froogle.com for "monitor power cord."  Should cost under $5 from lots of stores.

It's either your power cable/power adapter, a bad power connector on the motherboard, or a bad CPU/CPU fan. I had a dell inspiron something or another and my power connector on my motherboard broke so it would not turn on unless I had it a certain way but as soon as I moved it or bumped it, it would shut back off. If it doesn't power on, I'd say get rid of the Dell and go with something more reliable like HP, Toshiba, or Sony (just to name a few) Look on ebay or tigerdirect, or hp/gateway/etc for used laptops.  Good luck with fixing the hunk of junk from Dell.
