I have the same problem. Supposedly Dell has a faulty motherboard on the 600m's. There is a trick to some which is to press F7 and F8 really hard as soon as you turn it on. I think it was some connection problem up top and if you push really hard in that area it will boot. Other than that it's a motherboard problem in which it forgets how to operate because it will randomly change its BIOS settings. That's all I can say to try and help.
Good Luck
