Notebook won't start

Hey, searching for help..

I owne a Precision 5520, bought used in 2022.

With start button no life sign, no fan no lights.

Indication light on power supply is steady white

I changed the power supply, no reaction.

Battery worn a 1/2 year before, I discennected it and work since then just on cable.

Can you give me a tip what to do?

Thanks

A steady white light on the Dell laptop's power supply indicator generally means the power adapter is connected and the battery has more than 5% charge, or that the battery is in charge mode with the AC adapter present. If the white light has been on for a lengthy period of time you may need to replace the battery.

Thanks, but the light on the supply cable is on always, if connected or not. 
battery is dead and disconnected since a half year, I work just with cable. 
I searched a little and it seams that the cmos battery could be responsible..

what do you think?

@V-Dell​ go ahead and change the cmos battery to see if that will resolve the issue and let us know.
