I am trying to help a friend fix his Dell Inspiron 5100. At first when you turn it on, nothing comes up on the screen and 3 seconds later it just powers off.

I reseated the battery and powered it on again, 3 secs later, it automatically powers off. Same situation even if it is plugged in via ac adapater. Right now it is powered off and i see the battery light blinking green while plugged in. My first time in this situation.

Could it be some kind of hardware failure somewhere?
