Dell :: Flashing Screen

May 16, 2010

Hey guys I have had my SXPS 1645 for almost 8 months now and I recently have had issues with it. Whenever I turn it on, it seems to boot fine (maybe a few more clicks then usual) and the boot up screen is tinted blue and the screen flashes. The OS seems to work fine as it logs in and everything, yet the screen tint and flashing remains. I assume its a problem with the RGBLED display, but I am not sure how exactly I can remedy this problem.

Along the left side of the screen bubbles start coming up then the screen starts flashing sometime its whatever web sight I was on or email or looking a my documents.

It started when the machine wasn;t ever 6 mo. old. I doesn't do it every day. But yesterday it did it every time I turned it on.

My warranty is coming up and I'd like to get this fixed.

Dell Inspiron 7720 :: Flashing Colors On Screen

Feb 25, 2013

I recently purchased an Inspiron 7720 in October 2012. A week ago, the laptop started freezing up while playing world of warcraft. I checked my Nvidia video card and there were some updates. I installed them and the computer started working normal again. On Saturday, while I was using Skype to transfer a file, the computer gave me a white screen and I had to hold down the power button to get it to shutdown. It rebooted and was working normal again. Then yesterday (Sunday), while using video chat on Skype the computer screen went into a flashing color pattern and I had to hold down the power button to get it to shutdown. Are there any diagnostic tests that I can run before calling Dell's tech department? I believe it is a video card issue but not completely sure.

Dell Studio XPS 1647 :: Stuck At Splash Screen - Volume Down LED Flashing In PSA

Sep 10, 2014

Studio XPS 1647 laptop can't boot past POST and stuck at Dell splash screen with progress bar at ~80%. After holding down FN and pressing the power button, all three volume LEDS would flash twice, immediately followed by the volume UP and DOWN keys flashing, and then followed by just the Volume Down LED flashing.

Recently my Studio XPS 1647 has had overheat problems, and sometimes they would cause BSOD with broken screen images. The BSOD always came with bcode 116 error: this is apparently video card related. So last weekend I opened the case, removed the heat sink and the fan. The heat sink vent was completely blocked with a thick layer of dirt, so it's no wonder for overheating.  I cleaned up the heatsink vent and the fan, cleaned up the top of CPU chip and the top of GPU chip, reapplied thermal paste and put everything back together. After that, the machine couldn't pass the Dell splash screen on boot.  I've already checked the discussions here and followed suggestions on holding  down the power button to remove static, reseating the memory card etc., but they are of no use.

Finally I followed the instructions on starting up ePSA. I've tried it repeatedly, and every time the boot always stuck at the Dell splash screen with the progress bar at about 80% with or without applying ePSA. The SPA screen never came up if I held down FN+Power button. The difference between a generic boot and a PSA boot is that if I held down FN+Power button, all three volume LEDS would flash twice, immediately followed by the volume UP and DOWN keys flashing, and then followed by just the Volume Down LED flashing.

I've read from a few discussions talking about all three volume LEDS flashing would be a motherboard problem. But in my case it's three LEDs flashing twice, followed by volume UP and DOWN keys flashing once, and then followed by just the Volume Down LED flashing continuously. What this PSA blinking code means?

HP/Compaq :: DV4t-1000 Screen Flashing

Jan 26, 2010

my daughters DV4t began having video issues. The unit had been flawless for a year but after the unit had run for 5 to 10 minutes, every 4 or 5 seconds or so it would begin flashing a pencil thin green line horizontally across the entire bottom of the screen. The longer the unit ran the larger the line would become until it consumed the entire task bar. It demonstrated this behavior in normal mode, safe mode, and in BIOS mode. I tried everything I knew (drivers, BIOS, etc…) to solve the problem without resolution.

Luckily we have an extended 3 year warranty with ADP. The unit is/was just over its initial 1 year warranty period (Christmas). The unit was returned for repair and HP replaced the lid, LCD, and associated parts. I’m happy to say that in 8 days the unit came back with no issues and in flawless condition, but I must also say that it’s a bit disappointing that such a failure should occur so early in it’s well cared for life.

Acer Aspire E1 :: Screen Began Flashing Random Colors

Oct 13, 2014

I have an Acer Aspire E1 model Q5WPH, runnng Windows 8.  All has been well until this week when the screen began flashing random colours.
 
I powered the machine off and from then on it refuses to boot back up.  Power appears to be getting through as it starts up the DVD drive but then the power light goes off - then back on and the process continues until I power the machine off again.

HP Mini 110-3100 OS/Software :: Blank Screen With Cursor Flashing Upper Left Hand Corner

Jan 4, 2014

HP Mini 110-3100. When power up, get the HP logo and then a blank screen with curser flashing upper left hand corner.

Ran diagnostics --- everything passed.
Cannot get into System Recovery
Cannot get into Safe Mode
I do get into the Setup Utility but  nothing there that fixes the problem.
I do get into System information, but again, nothing there to fix this start up problem.
 
Estimates at local shops to fix start at minimum $110 - obviously could be higher
However, Amazon selling HP Mini 110-1030NR for $110
 
Questions:
1.  How I can recover to operate the HP MIni 110-3100 I have?
2.  What are the differences in 110-3100 versus the 110-1030NR 
3.  If I decide to buy the -1030NR instead of having the -3100 repaired, what I am giving up and ALSO, what does the NR stand for?

Dell :: BIOS Flashing Went Wrong

Mar 12, 2010

I was flashing my bios of my dell xps studio 16 (i don't know which 17xx it is... it has i5 and 4gb of ram. some ati vidfeo card with 1gb of vram, 15.6 LCD)

And then it froze for about an hour. So I unplugged power, took out battery and tried to boot it up. To my dismay, nothing showed up on the screen.

I have so much stuff on my HD that I need.

What are some ways to fix my laptop? Do I have to send it to dell? Will I lose all my data?

Dell :: Flashing BIOS On XPS 1340

Feb 10, 2009

Last week I received my brand new Dell Studio XPS 1340. After some days I got the "Power Adapter cannot be determined .....". So I called Dell Tech Support. He told me to flash the BIOS from A02 to A03. So I did. Under the flashing I got a bluescreen. So the information on the BIOS was gone. So yesterday a Dell Techincan came to my house and replaced the motherboard with a new one. I noticed that this motherboard has BIOS version A01 (the oldest one). I also noticed that the processor fans is always on 4000 RPM. It never slows down to 2000 RPM, even if the temperature is on 40 degree celcius.

So I though this had to be something with the old BIOS version. So I called Dell, and I tried to flash from A01 to A02. But the same bluescreen came, this time, lucky for me, before the flashing! So nothing get destroyed!

Anyway, Copy paste the dump file here:

Seems like PHLASHNT.SYS has something to with this? Have someone have this same problem as me? The fans never stop, and I think its because of the old bios version. And:

1) No errors on the diagnosic test (full system scan)
2) I switched from Vista 32 bit to Vista Business 64 bit (original) with the signed drivers from dell.com (all my drivers are verified)

Dell :: Flashing A FX2500m To 7900GTX

Mar 6, 2008

After trying many drivers and having many questions left unanswered, I decided I wanted to try this route to see how it goes.

I was told when I bought my FX2500m that I could flash it with the 7900GTX BIOS since they are both the same card basically.

I'm having problems where I can play some games no problem, and others lock-up after only seconds of play, sifting through 5 drivers (NBF and Xtreme-G) I decided either I have a faulty card or maybe the FX2500m doesn't have a shader or whatever that some of the games I'm testing it with need.

I only have a couple more days to report this card as a DoA so I'm wanting to test all the possibilities before (possibly) shipping it back.

Long story short, can someone give me a link to a 7900GTX BIOS? And give me a quick run-down on how to go about actually doing the flash and backing up my own?

Dell :: Battery Light Flashing

May 9, 2009

Have a question for you. Last night I had my laptop connected up to the ECM of my car (for diagnostics purposes) and went for a drive with it connected to the ECM. No Problem. Got back from the trip and the battery was down to 4% so I promptly shut it down (after turning the car off).

I plugged the charger in and the battery is back up to 100% but for some reason the orange flashing battery light on the laptop keeps flashing. I have taken the power pack out and the battery is ok, works as per normal

Dell :: Flashing Geforce GO 6800

Jul 23, 2007

I've got a Dell Inspiron 9300. Recently, I flashed my vBios and had to do a blind flash. I've got a flash drive with all of the things needed on it, but I'm not so sure about the ROM. It was the only one I could find on the net, and it hasn't worked so far. I left the flash drive in for almost two hours, and it finally did the two beeps. It was on full auto mode and it didn't restart; it just sat there.

I guess I'm begging someone to send me a default bios for a Dell i9300's go 6800 gpu (NV41, according to dell, not sure if it matters).

Also, for clarification, the "backlight" refers to the monitor emitting a glow while still being blank, yes? Because as it is, the monitor doesn't even come on, much less emit any light.

Dell :: Power/Battery Flashing Orange

Jul 11, 2007

The battery/power signal (the three green LEDs right under the display on the right side) keeps flashing orange four times then blinks green once, and repeats.

The PC is on AC power and the battery is full too (99%). I don't know what the problem is.

I read around and it seems my battery is dead. Fortunately, my purchase of the XPS was just under a year ago, so I should get it replaced without paying up. I have a replacement battery that I bought at purchase. I hope it lasts loner. Do you guys reccomend taking out the battery when running on AC power?

Dell XPS 13 :: Flashing Light When Sleeping - Why Does It Stop

May 27, 2012

When I put my Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook to sleep either with the power button, or closing the lid, the light on the front of the until will flash.  I haven't timed it exactly, but it flashes for several minutes, but eventually stops flashing.  When I wake it up from sleep, it seems about the same whether or not the light was flashing.

Why the light eventually stops flashing and what it means?  It isn't because the battery died, and it isn't going into Hibernate because this laptop doesn't have that option.

Dell Studio 14z :: Won't Power On - No Flashing Lights

Feb 15, 2013

I have a studio 14z that has been sitting for approximately 5 - 6 months without being connected to a power adapter or turned on.  Needless to say, when I tried to power it up via the battery, there was nothing there.  Pushing the button on the bottom of the battery does not cause any lights to flash. 

This doesn't surprise me, but even if I plug it into it's AC adapter and take the battery out, it will not power on.  Nothing happens.  No lights (except on the power adapter) no fans spinning, nothing.  If I have the battery in place, the light that is supposed to indicate that the battery is charging does not turn on.  Basically it is "dead".  It worked fine before sitting dormant. 

Is it a lost cause?  I just had it apart to check cabling, etc. and can't see anything obvious.  Is there anyway to wake it up?  I know the power adapter works as it powered another laptop just fine.

Dell :: XPS M140 Flashing Orange Power Light

Oct 10, 2008

My Dell XPS M140 has a power light on the bezel that blinks orange very rapidly. This usually happens when I leave the charger on the wall over night or for long periods of time.

However, when I take the battery out and push the button the battery itself, there are 5 green lights, so I assume all is fine, but what is with the orange flashing light on the bezel?

Dell Inspiron N5010 :: Battery Light Flashing

Jan 6, 2015

I have a N5010 Inspiron. My battery has been down to a few minutes for a yr or two. I keep my laptop plugged in always unless traveling.

Today, my battery light started flashing. Amber for times then white then repeats. Since I was plugged in I was perplexed. I looked on my screen and it showed 100 percent battery meaning I am plugged in.

Then I turned my computer completely off. THE LIGHT KEPT FLASHING. Now it is getting spooky. I unplug the power supply from the back of the computer and the light went off.

Hours later I plugged everything back in. Started the computer and the light started again. Since it is no warning for anything other than the battery, 

I tried unplugging while computer was on. Still flashing.

I turned off. Took battery out and put back in. Still Flashing. 

While off AND battery out I plugged in and no flashing

Put batter back in....plugged in and flashing resumed. 

So for now I am trying to ignore it....

Dell Latitude E7240 :: E/Dock Flashing Cursor

Jan 13, 2015

I have 2 new E7420 laptops that are replacing some older ones.

When I dock either of them, all I get is a flashing cursor on either the external screens, or the laptop screen. I get the Dell logo, then just a flashing cursor on the top left of the screen.

I can turn the laptop on, wait for it to boot, then dock it, but of the 3 times I've tried that, the USB didnt work once.

Have just upgraded to the latest BIOS, but it didnt change anything.

Is there some BIOS setting or something I need to change?

Dell Inspiron 17r :: Won't Turn On - Go Black After Flashing Logo

Feb 13, 2013

When I press the power button it will flash the dell logo then go black and sit there as long as I let it like that without changing. I've tried to research this situation and it seems this is a problem with these specific laptops. However, no solutions (like removing battery and ac adapter, pressing power for 1-2 min, reconnecting ac adapter, etc.) that seem to work for others have worked on mine yet. I'm concerned and starting to get extremely frustrated as I've only had this laptop for a month and a half. I'm a nursing student who has many tasks to complete on my (nearly BRAND NEW) computer daily and have a pretty nonexistent budget (which would explain my hesitancy to take it in for repairs somewhere).

Dell Inspiron 1526 :: No Boot Up - Flashing LED Light

Feb 3, 2013

I have been having problems getting my laptop to boot. I've performed a laundry list of repair options and nothing has worked. As of this moment, I've managed to narrow the query down to the flashing LED light code FLASHING Num Lock-SOLID Caps Lock-Solid Scroll Lock. I've done some further research and I've only managed to get sketchy information at best. It is saying that the problem has something to do with the processor or the system dock--if that information is reliable. I've had contradicting answers on that. I've reseated the processor several times, even switching the processor with a virtually identical processor from my WORKING Inspiron 1501 with no change. And just to confirm that the processor initially seated in the 1526 is working, I have put it in the 1501 and it works. I've swapped compatible components between both machines and everything has worked after being seated in the 1501.

To recap the light code...Flash/Solid/Solid.

Dell XPS 12 :: Flickering - Icons / Taskbar Started Flashing

Jan 15, 2015

I have a XPS 12 Ultrabook. Recently the icons, taskbar, etc have started flashing. When this happens I can't do anything as it won't allow it. It makes it useless as you cannot click on anything to open or use it. It's very frustrating as I use this for writing and editing photos. Why is it flickering and rendering it useless?
