Dead laptop

[buckshot46]

Hi I have a dell inspiron 1318 lap top and it will not turn on. I have a new battery and power cord. When I push the power button the red light will flash but not turn on. I do know that the old power cord had bad spots in it from the dog.

You might need a new AC adapter
If the dog has been at it.

Try this when you plug power cord jiggle the cable and notice if light changes or goes off.

I have already replace power cord and battery.

In that case it sounds like a motherboard problem or the dc jack.
