Dell Inspiron 1200 Power Problem

My 9 month old Dell Inspiron 1200 Notebook computer will no longer power on using battery power alone. The battery shows 100% charged so I'm at a loss as to why it won't work properly. I have also tried a second known good battery with the same result.

Is there anything I should check before I send it off to Dell for out of warranty repairs?

Thanks

If you get the same results with 2 different batteries, I would think that the charging circuit is faulty. Send it in for warranty service(with the batteries and power brick).
