I m having a serious issue with my laptop.It was workn fine till yesterday but now it doesnt turn on.When i   plug the charger into the laptop,the power light in the charger goes off. There is nothing wrong with the charger coz i tried it with another laptop.I tried to start with out plugging in,removing the battery but neither worked...I bought this Inspiron 1420 like 15 months ago and i m out of warrenty now.Yesterday i called dell n talked about it but it really didnt help me.They told me to pay $49 for phone diagnosis which i thought was not a good idea so they tranferred me to out of warrenty dept...The deal with the out of warrenty dept. is i gotta pay $159 which includes the both way shipping charges and all defective hardware maintainance and repalcemet except mother board...if mother board needs to be replaced,i gotta pay another $199.  I m kind of confused what to do next. should i just send it back to dell or find a repair store around my area? or is there any alternatives?   i wud really appreciate yo suggestions and any kind of helpful inputs.....feel free to share yo experiences if ya had any!
