Dell just sent me a new power adaptor for my 1750, free cause my laptop was under warranty. My battery wasn't charging cause the power adaptor was bad. Now everything is working as good as new. Good luck!

Does the screen show any thing at all?, if you just get lights that come on for a few seconds and no screen than it shuts down, then it could be one of 2 things, 1) bad power supply or 2) bad mother board. You might be looking for a new mother board as the power supply is integrated into the mother board.

Check your AC adapter - voltage check w/ multimeter
If it checks out, your dc powertap may be broken or the DC-DC circuit on the motherboard has failed. DC powertap can be fixed, DC-DC circuit failure requires replacement of the motherboard on that model of dell.
Best of success
