Dead XPS 15 9510
My recently out of warranty XPS 15 Laptop suddenly died. Screen went black, lights on keyboard went out, even the light on usb-c charging cable went out - all at same time.
It wont power up, it wont charge.
I've tried 3 different compatible chargers and all three laptop usb-c ports, the light at the end of the charger goes out as soon as I plug it into laptop. Any ideas whats happened? and cost to fix?

There's an internal short circuit. Check the USB ports for bent pins -- use a flashlight. If the USB ports are OK, a mainboard component (capacitor, probably but could be something else) is shorted. In that case, the mainboard would need to be replaced.
Depending on the CPU/GPU, figure on $250-500 for a board plus labor to install.
