r/Dell on Reddit: Can't find power button on Dell Inspiron 15
July 9, 2022 -
Laptop is charged and off.
There is nothing, no button, no sensor or anything in between the screen and the keyboard.
There is nothing on the left and right sides of the keyboard, only ports.
The top-right most key on the keyboard is blank. I thought this might be the power, but I've pressed it, held it for varying amounts of time, to no avail.
Since nothing so far has worked I suspect the power might be sensor/fingerprint-activated, but I don't know where I would have to touch in that case, and for how long.
I have turned the laptop on before, but I don't remember how.
I would share a photo, but I'm on my phone and can't send anything on reddit mobile browser.

Have you tried all this with it plugged into power? Battery might be dead.

Power button is the blank key on the top right of the keyboard. If it's the actual model series I'm thinking of, it's going to require a motherboard replacement. I am familiar with the actual issue, but I cannot disclose the information.

April 29, 2017Help my Dell laptop won't turn on I've done everything said from the internet
Dell laptops have issues with the power regulation chip. What you need to do is pull the back cover off and unplug both the main battery and the CMOS battery. You need to be very very careful removing the CMOS battery. Do not pull the battery out by the wires. I find it’s best to use a plastic pry tool of some form, whether it be a spudger, old credit card or some other thin semi-semi blunt plastic tool. If you rock the two sides back and forth then push out the connector down the center, it will come out. The CMOS battery looks like this: https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/rWTpWLLvSdZ36TQU.large Once you have both batteries unplugged, hold the power button for 60 seconds. Yes, really, 60 seconds. Plug both batteries back in and plug in the charger, then attempt to turn the laptop on. If all went well, the CPU fan should spin over a few times before the machine finally boots back up. Put the cover back on and you’re done. Source: I’ve been working in IT Support/Management with Dell as our main vendor for the last 12 years. More on reddit.com

I don't even see any lights on. Typically something lights up to acknowledge power is coming in. Could be charging port. Could be battery. Could be board.

It looks like what's broken is the retainer just above the power button itself, which in turn appears to be part of the palmrest assembly (compare picture below). That's likely what you'll need to replace. https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=26064

Before buying anything, take the system apart and see what's broken. The button appears to be just a plastic trim piece over the actual power button. If it's the switch assembly that's broken, replace it. If the actual trim piece is what's broken, note that it's unlikely to be available separately short of buying a complete assembly.

Could you check your manual to find where the power button is?

It's not fingerprint activated, and the power button is that circular button at the top right of your keyboard. Do you feel or hear it clicks when you press it? Can you try to turn it on while plugged in, and if that doesn't work, can you connect the power supply to another outlet and try again?
