    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.

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