Boots rarely. Won't turn on.

[James T Kirk USS Enterprise]

Hello fellow people

I have a Dell Latitude Laptop:
My computer won't turn on. I took the rechargeable battery out and waited for 30 seconds. I put the battery back in and tried to turn it on: it would not boot.

I took out the rechargeable battery and pressed the button on it and the power meter indicates that the battery is at full strength. So I left the battery out of the laptop and tried to boot, but no success.

I put the battery back in. Another day, it booted up. Then yesterday, I tried again, and it would not boot.

Does any computer people know what the problem might be?

Try removing the battery, then remove the ram chips. Wait a few minutes, replace the ram chips, then the battery and then try booting.

Please tell us what it does. You press the power button and...
Any lights?
does hard drive spin up?
fan turn on?
BIOS show anything on screen?
CD/DVD light up?
