I picked up a dell inspiron 1526 locally to tinker with and it seems to power on somewhat but the leds are not correct and the dvd drive will not even eject. The fans spin and the wifi led flashes orange / blue. From the research i have dones there seems to have been a ton of problems with the motherboard . Has anyone had experience with this particular unit? I hope to maybe be able to repair ir if it was bad caps or bad solder joints or something instead of just parting it out. Also i love this site but is there any other online community of laptop repair people - like i see guys advertising logicboard repairs and services other than just part swapping and i would like to learn more about this myself
