My 5100 Inspiron died too. At first, I thought the power cord had died again (3rd cord), but it's working. The lights go on for a split second and then nothing. I called Dell (out of warranty of course) and they said that the motherboard was bad. She didn't even think twice before she gave me that diagnosis.
This stinks! The only think I want to get off of it is my son's itune information.
Good luck!

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
