Dell Inspiron 17 5748 :: Won't Turn On - No Light On Laptop

Nov 22, 2014

I've had my laptop for about a three weeks now. Last night, I shut the lid to put it to sleep and went out for a few hours, leaving the lap top plugged in.

When I came home, the laptop wouldn't turn on. I looked online, found to take out the battery, hold the power button down for 30 sec, put the battery back in, then plug it in again, nothing worked.

I left the battery out over night, then did the same thing -- no go. 

The computer has been plugged in for about an hour now, still nothing.

There are no lights on the laptop itself, the green light is on the AC adapter and I also plugged in the adapter into another computer and it worked with that.

Running on Windows 7, Inspiron 17 5748 -- still under warranty.

Dell Inspiron 5748 :: How To Turn On Integrated Webcam

Dec 18, 2014

I have just received my new Inspiron 5748 and I cannot find any useful information on how to turn the webcam on. There is no option on the start menu for the webcam, and I've checked the device manager, and indeed, the webcam is there and working properly, according to the Properties. Ran a diagnostic in the Dell Support area, and the cam came on when the diagnostic ran, so I know it's there and working. So how do I turn the darned thing on? All I want is to turn the webcam on!

HP Pavilion M6-1045DX :: Laptop Power Light Flashing And Won't Turn On

Sep 1, 2014

I have a HP Pavilion M6-1045DX laptop and I recently tried to plug it into a display through the Analog RGB and I saw a spark and the laptop shut off. During that time I ran the laptop straight from the AC adapter without a battery because I don't really use it.So the laptop shut off and I tried turning it back on and nothing happened. The charge indicator light turned off even though it was still plugged in. I thought maybe the power adapter stopped working or something but I tested it with a voltmeter and there was still power in it.

So I decided to put the battery in and the laptop was able to turn on, but after a while, this one area that i never felt heat there before was really hot and later smelled like something was burning.But anyway, when it booted up, the screen resolution was really low and was on maximum brightness. When the laptop finished booting, it randomly started installing drivers (such as the WLAN and intel rapid storage) and yeah. Sound doesn't work either. I tried to plug the laptop back in and the battery won't charge.I turned it off and took out the battery and tried running it off from the AC adapter only but the power light was blinking constantly and when I press it, the WiFi button light (F12) turned on for a second and back off. I also hear this high frequency noise that I never heard before somewhere in the laptop.

Dell Inspiron 1564 :: Does Not Turn On - Battery Light Glows For A While And Then Goes Off

Oct 7, 2010

Laptop: Dell Inspiron 1564
OS: Windows 7 Home
Problem: Does not turn on.

Cause: Was working fine until last night when I shut it down, did not turn on when I tried to turn it on later in the morning. No known cause.

Details: My laptop does not turn on in anyway - with charger put on or without charger.

It was working fine when I shut it down the other night but when I tried to turn it on in the morning, nothing happened. When I press the power-on button, just battery light (of the 3 lights on laptop) glows for a while and then it goes off as well. Other than that, nothing happens at all. I have tried taking the battery out and putting it in, plugging ang unplugging AC - nothing works.

I left the laptop unattended whole day and when came back, I tried to turn it on and the battery and power lights both glowed this time and continued glowing but screen was blank and no sound nothing happened for a few minutes and then I powered it off. Tried to turn on again, nothing happened, back to old problem as stated earlier i.e. only the battery light glows for a while and then goes off ....

Dell Inspiron 3721 :: Fails To Turn On - Only Power Light Illuminates

This morning, my Inspiron 3721 (18 months old) failed to turn on.  Worked fine last night.

Symptoms: on pressing power button, only power light illuminates, but no other noises, no fans, no screen response.

Have removed battery, removed power lead, held down power button for 50 seconds.  Reconnected battery & power lead, but no change to above behaviour.

Tried a different power lead but no change to above.

Dell Inspiron 5521 :: Won't Turn On - Only Power Indicator Light Turns On

Jan 24, 2015

I have a dell inspiron 15r 5521 laptop. Yesterday when I tried to turn it on it won't boot, even the POST or the BIOS won't show up. I removed the battery and power supply and press down the power button for a long time and repeated it a lot of times too but no luck. I removed the HDD, RAMs and the CMOS battery and kept it that way for 5 mins and put them back in but it was still the same. I noticed that whenever I enter the ac adaptor into the laptop the fan moves for like 100millisecond and the light on the caps lock button lights up for the same amount of time then it all goes silent. Same happens when I press the power button with only the battery inserted.

All what happens when I try to turn it on is that the power indicator light on the laptop turns on(white color, which is the normal color for this laptop), and that's it. The light don't blink or anything at all. No beep sound. The fan, HDD everything remains silent. Only that light stays on until I unplug it from ac and remove the battery. Pressing down the power button doesn't turn it off either. No other indicator light such as the wifi's, hdd's, battery's light doesn't turn on.

Dell Inspiron 5748 :: No Power LED?

Dec 12, 2014

I just unboxed my new Dell Inspiron 5748 (17 inches, core i7 etc. etc.).

I noticed a strange thing: there is no evidence that the notebook is powered up, apart of LCD screen lit.

When the screen goes off, you don't know if laptop is on or off.

There is a led in the left right edge of the front, but it lights up (after a BIOS update to A05, it was always dark with A04 BIOS) only when the power supply is connected.

When powering up the laptop with battery, the led lights up, but after one second it starts to dim until it is completely dark.

It is annoying, especially with Windows 8.1 that, when powering off the laptop, shuts off the screen several seconds before the laptop is really powered off.

I had a long phone call with technical support, but it seems that this behaviour is by design.

I also miss a HDD activity led, that could be a sign of the computer activity, in the lack of power led.

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Laptop Would Not Power Up - No Light?

Jan 16, 2015

This is a late 2008 build Dell Inspiron 1545, sold retail in December 2010.

Pentium dual core T4500, 2.3 GHz

Has been in irregular use as a spare machine, mains adapter only, battery  removed.  My house was struck by lightning over a year ago and adapter damaged.  Replaced adapter and no further issue until now.

Laptop would not power up, no light.  Tested adapter and tried another 2 adapters - still no power up.  Replaced original adapter and plugged in depleted battery - powered up but had to press F1.  Powered up with no issue with good battery.  Once powered up the laptop seems to be charging battery OK.  Guessed this was a power board issue but no change when replacement fitted.

Dell :: Light Weight Laptop Replacement For An Old Inspiron 1300

Dec 8, 2008

I'm seeking feedback on a lightweight replacement for an Inspiron 1300 I once had. Something if I needed to use I could use while propped up in bed, nothing heavier than my old Inspiron 1300 which I don't know exactly how heavy it was but I need to replace it with another laptop, possible one lighter than my Inspiron 1300 which I would be using most of the time for web surfing and email. I know the lighter the laptops are the more expensive they are.

There are two variants of drivers :

Dell Wireless 1704 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver and

Dell Wireless 1705 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver

the 1704 installs ok but the 1705 reports an error and doesn't install at all. Normally should they install both? Each of them does a different thing ? Why are there two drivers for same thing?

Dell Inspiron 15R :: Laptop Does Not Turn On At All

Apr 2, 2013

My 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.

Dell Inspiron N5010 :: Laptop Won't Turn On

Mar 19, 2013

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.

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Laptop Won't Turn On But Beeps Loudly

Jan 28, 2013

I am having troubles with my dell inspiron 1545. It has been working fine, but I just tried to switch it on, and it won't boot. After pressing the 'on' button, the cd drive flashes and makes a noise, like it normally does when I switch the laptop on. Then nothing happens for a whole minute, and then a loud repetitive beep starts. It's 4 beeps in a row, which then gets repeated. I have let the beep continue, but it doesn't seem to stop, unless I either press the 'on' button again or take the battery out.

Dell Inspiron 3542 :: When Turn On Laptop On Battery After Starting Windows It Freezes

Oct 18, 2014

I have some problems with a new Dell laptop (bought a few weeks ago). The model is Dell 15.6'' Inspiron 3542. I've searched on google and on other forums but i didn't found something useful for my problem.

The problem is that when i turn on the laptop, running only on battery, after starting the windows, it freezes. If i turn on the laptop, with the AC adaptor plugged in, it works perfectly. But if i remove the AC adaptor, the laptop freezes after a while. If i turn off the laptop without the AC adaptor plugged in, the screen goes black but the laptop dosen't shut down completly, it freezes. And every time it freezes, the only way to shut  down the laptop is to press for 5 sec the start button. I can use the laptop on battery mode, only on "Safe Mode" option of Windows. 

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits, and i installed all the drivers from Dell support site.
