My dell inspiron 15R won't turn on. I've had it for about 3 years. The last time I turned it on the battery needed to be replaced. It also had an overheating problem. Now it won't turn on but when I plug it in the charger light is lite. I've tried disconnecting the battery and the charger and then holding down the power button for 10 seconds. Then I tried to connect it with just the charger. It didn't work.
View 1 RepliesMy inspiron 9400 will not boot. The only functions I can see is the battery light comes on when plugged in to indicate that it is charging, and when I press the power button the power light comes on for 5 seconds then goes off, thats it.
I thought this problem was the board earlier, so I replaced it with a tested motherboard and am having the same problem.
I have also tried booting with just AC adaptor and just battery, no change. Right now my only idea is the CPU, is this feasible? Can somebody help me with this?
I am a bit of a tech head, and urged my wife to wait until the "good" touch screen has well laptops came out. I even wrote some glowing reviews of Dell's inspiron 15 7537 after I received it ([URL....)Unfortunately, just a few weeks out of warranty, the trusty laptop has stopped powering up. The symptoms: laptop will not power up. Things I have tried:
-Making sure the power cable was plugged in (LED is on the power ring on the plug itself)
-Making sure the PC recognizes the power cable and the power adapter isn't loose (power ring brightens when plugged in)
-Trying different outlets, including several direct to wall outlets
-Removing battery and trying to power up with just power cable
-Removing battery and AC adapter, holding power for 3+ minutes to "clear static charge"
-Doing above and then plugging power cable in
-One ram chip at a time
-No ram
Unfortunately nothing works. Fans don't turn on, lights don't turn on, display doesn't turn on, no noises or beeps. Other than the power ring on the plug getting brighter when I plug it in, there is no indication that the device is receiving any power. The build quality of the device is so high and my wife has been very satisfied.
I have the Inspiron 15R 5110, however recently it just stopped working. I have tried all the suggestions (removing battery & power chord then pressing power button for 30 sec etc. Nothing works and it won't power up). The power button light comes on when pressed (while connected to AC or without AC). The other lights flicker and then nothing. After 10 seconds a repeated cycle of 3 beeps begins. I don't want to waste money on a new battery in case the problem is actually (probably) the motherboard. Can I purchase a new motherboard? How much? Machine is 2 years old bought new from Dell.

I tried with power and without power. it does not working. even when i plugged the charger the charging LED also does not on
A few days ago I was using my laptop when the notification that I had to plug in the charger or my computer battery would die popped up. So I plugged it in and used it for a few minutes when suddenly the screen went black and the computer just shut off while plugged in. I noticed that my charging cord had a green light when it was plugged into the wall but the light went off as soon as it connected to my laptop. I've tried letting it charge, I've tried holding down the power button, I've tried removing the battery and plugging it back in, and I've tried a newer charging cord but the computer still won't turn on. No lights come on even when it is plugged into the wall.

When I push he start button it beeps 3 times, there will be a pause of maybe 10 seconds and will beep 3 times again. This cycle repeats. The screen just stays black.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy laptop will not turn on at all. The only 'signs of life' I get is the power button and the first of the laptop lights turning on for the briefest fraction of a second when I attempt turning it on (this itself only happens some of the time, not always).
Throughout Sunday computer had been telling to restart to properly install [those pesky] windows updates. When I first tried turning on my computer come monday, I got the standard 'configuring' prior to start up, and then laptop shut down. Trying to turn it on again led me to the black screen telling me that windows failed to start up properly. I attempt to launch windows, but this went to system restore (last saved moment) and this failed. In fact this was the last time my computer was really and truly on.
From then on is the situation I have now - not turning on at all except for the occasional slight flicker in the power button. (I have tried different AC adapters and powering up with and without battery, to no avail.)If it counts for anything, my fan has been becoming very, very loud recently.
I have a Inspiron 1420 from 2007. Computer will not turn out at all. When you plug the adapter into the call the light on the adapter works but when you plug the adapter into the computer the light on the adapter goes out and the computer will not turn on. No lights or anything.
The laptop is on its last legs but there are things I need to get off the hard drive.
Recently, I found that there is some faults with the fan resulting in shutting down randomly. Then, after 2 months that the problem start, the laptop would not turn on although if it is connected to the power. When i press the switch on button, NOTHING would happen.

I used it to show a video to my mom then closed the lid (I programmed it so that closing the lid will lead to hibernation). When I tried to open it again after a few hours, it won't turn on. Even though I know it wasn't low in battery, I charged it. I then noticed that the light that was supposed to indicate that it was charging was not turned on. This incident happened a few months back but resolved itself after I let my laptop rest for 2 days.
I have my laptop since August last year. I bought it direct from Dell. I was using it today and closed the lid to go into sleep. Now it won't turn on at all. Once or twice it slightly reacted and showed Dell logo but then shuts down. The power light sort of fades out.
I can't turn it on at all so can't do any sort of troubleshooting.
I just received my new Inspiron 13 7000 series after much waiting... First use, all goes well, I set up windows 8.1 without any problems, look around, install a few software like google chrome, vlc player. All goes well.
But then, I shut it down and go run some errands, and when I come back it won't turn on anymore. The the LED on my charger is on but the one on the laptop isn't. what I could do?
I am working on a friends laptop, a Dell Inpiron e1405, and it won't power on. He had it start downloading an update for his iPod walked away for a bit and when he came back, the computer was off and it won't turn back on. We have tested his power cord with a multi-meter and we know the right amount of power is getting to his laptop. When we plug it into the wall, the LED comes on indicating the battery is charging. Also, about every 5th time we push the power button, the power LED lights up then goes off.
What I tried:
I unplugged the power cord and took out the battery and the CMOS battery then held down the power button for a minute. Then I put it back together and nothing happened.
I took the entire laptop apart so that it was just a motherboard in the case with nothing else attached. Then I put everything back in to see it something just needed reseated. Nothing yet.
I came home lastnight to my laptop turn off. I thought this was odd because it is hardly ever turned off. When I went to turn it back on nothing happened. I then notice that the gree light on the charger was also off. So I unplugged the charger from the wall and the computer, then plugged it back into the outlet. Now the green light is on, however when i plug it into the laptop the green light turns off and I have nothing from the computer. Seems like I have an electrical problem here. Anyone heard of this happening before or have any advice. The computer is about 5years old so I no longer have a warrenty.

The laptop turned off by itself once and since then, it refuses to POST.
I do suspect some CPU power issue.
- The boards can be powered and shutdowns with the power button.
- HDD is detected and HDD LED turns off after detect.
- Only the Power led remains open
- No Image nor backlight on screen
- No access to BIOS
- PSA boot (Fn+Power) give Scroll Lock LED ON
I spoted a black burned zone around what I think is a diode. I removed it and try to mesure it but I'm not equipped to have an exact figure of what it is.
The marking on it is "SR" .....
Inspiron N5010 does nothing when power button pressed, if power cord is attached then blue charging light goes out indicating that power unit has been overloaded and tripped out. If power lead is unplugged from laptop and mains supply, then plugged into mains again power is restored to adaptor and blue light on lead lights up again. Using Dell manual I have stripped laptop down to component parts. If mains adaptor is plugged into I/O board then charging light on lead remains lit. When motherboard ( including CPU ) is remounted onto I/O board, when mains adaptor is plugged in charging light goes out. Motherboard does not show any burnt area's or signs of damage to any component. Tried all versions of static discharge to laptop before stripping down without success. If the only solution is to replace Motherboard how can I order. The existing board includes 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD550v Graphics. The laptop is out of warranty.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can i turn on the backlit on Dell inspiron 3542?
View 4 Replies View RelatedLaptop recently started playing up. I'm using a Inspiron 15R N5110.
If I turn the laptop off by going: Start, turn off, the display turns off but I can hear the fans still running. The only to turn it off is to hold down the power button.
Also if I shut my laptop lid the screen turns off but once again the fans are still running(doesn't go into to sleep mode). If I then re-open my laptop the display doesn't turn back on I have to hold the power button and then turn it back on.
On new years eve i knocked a glass of wine onto my Dell Inspiron 6400 and immediately unplugged it and removed the battery in order to let it dry out for a bit.
After trying it a few times and the laptop not turning on the battery light began flashing 3 times in red and then nothing still not turning on.
A day or 2 later when i tried it again it this time turned on and was working fine all day (about 12 hours) untill i accidentally pulled out the AC plug in the back and it turned off and now wont switch on at all. When i now press the power button the battery light turns red but doesn't blink and still get no power.
So I was using my Inspiron 1545 and everything was going fine, then suddenly the screen just went nuts. It was green and pink, flickering, and had bars flashing everywhere. I turned it off manually, and after that it would turn on a few times (BIOS graphics were fine) but the desktop would be messed up. Then soon after that, I couldn't even get to BIOS. I press the power, the fan starts for like 2 seconds, then the laptop completely shuts down. I've tried removing the power supply and battery, holding the power button, then putting them back to no avail. I've also tried having it only connected to the power supply. I've even tried removing one of the two RAM.
