Well, my laptop (Dell L702X) won't boot at all.
It was working perfectly fine 2 days ago, and I turned it off for about 30 min, and when I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't even start. Then I removed the battery (which was pretty much dead/doesn't hold charge) and plugged it in, and the laptop beeped twice (short) and turned off. It would do that every time I plugged it in without the battery. I disassembled the laptop in hopes that there was a small dust particle stuck somewhere or something, and reapplied the thermal paste just because, and now it's even worse. Pressing the power button does absolutely nothing; there's no sign of any power going into the laptop as opposed to before when the XPS light would at least be on.
Now why is this happening?
-It was raining prior to turning the laptop off, and it was sitting next to the window, but I doubt any rain got into the laptop, and if it did, it wasn't more than a few drops.
-The battery has been dead for a while and it may have finally decided to die completely, but shouldn't the laptop start without it anyway? It used to at least.
-I looked up 2 beeps and it all talks about Ram failure, but I've had that problem before and the computer never acted the way it did (I have tried reseating them, trying with 1 stick etc.)
-Could it be a parity circuit failure? If so, what are my options?
-I've also taken the coin battery out and put it back in, as well as holding the power button down with the laptop unplugged.
Any help would be appreciated.
