View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just installed an i7 2670Qm on my T420 today.The machine will crash pretty soon after booting up, with the screen having colorful vertical and horizontal lines before it restarts itself and give the memory error beeping pattern (1 beep-pause-3 beeps-3 beeps-pause-1 beep).So then I took out one RAM from the bottom, and the machine appears to work normally again, more or less.
In the OS (Win7 64), The power manager alerts me that the 65w AC adapter is giving not enough power, so the laptop is running on battery. I thought I just need a 90W AC brick so the laptop will work as it should, so I am arranging a 90w one to come in later. But on a second thought, if the battery cannot start the laptop with 8GB of RAM properly.
Is it the CPU or RAM or Mobo or something else? Where should I look?The machine works fine with the previous CPU i3-2310m and 8GB of RAM.The RAM modules I have are 2 x 4GB Samsung 2Rx8 PC3-12800S-11-11-F3.The BIOS version is updated to the latest 1.46.
why my laptop beeps 4 times and does not power on and possibly resolving the issue. My laptop is a Inspiron 14R ( N4110).

I am working on a friend's laptop. Originally, the laptop had a bad power adapter. They heard a "popping" sound from what sounded like it came from the laptop itself. Laptop went dead. They bought a new power adapter but it won't even light up the LED's on the laptop itself. The new adapter definitely works.
Of course it's used for taxes, home business info, etc. So they ask me to look at it since I have 10+ years in IT and can do most PC repair stuff without batting an eye. Well, here I am. Laptop is not under warranty AND it's still being paid on as it was financed by Dell.
Here is what I did to troubleshoot:
1) Verified power adapter got power and works with another Dell laptop.
2) Verified laptop will not power on.
3) Removed bottom screws, plate, battery, etc.
4) Removed keyboard, screws, and top plate.
5) Found a lots of black markings on the motherboard, specifically at the circuitry near the battery port.
Determined it needed a motherboard and maybe other stuff but wasn't sure. Bought a new motherboard with a 90 day warranty from CHINA on eBay. Also bought a new keyboard since a key was missing and new fan since it was in rough shape.
The repair steps:
1) Removed old motherboard and took off heatsink and CPU.
2) Reseat CPU on new motherboard, added Arctic 5, Reinstalled heatsink.
3) Added new fan and buttoned everything up. Triple checked connections
4) THERE IS LIFE! Power supply now feeds power to the laptop as LED's are lit.
5) Power button is pressed, nothing on the video but the fan spins up and sounds healthy. No caps lock LED. Hooked up to a monitor DOES NOT WORK. No beeping, nothing. I figure maybe the CPU isn't working so I try reseating it.
6) Tear it all down again. Reseat CPU, new thermal paste, reinstall heatsink, button it back up. SAME THING. This time it's not fully reassembled.
I tried doing the D + Power Button to test the LCD. Looks like the screen does something, but it's dim and doesn't last long. I can't see if it tries to do anything in detail, but I notice a little bit of light omitted from the side. Tried discharging any static.
Normally, I would throw in another CPU or something, but I don't have spare parts for this laptop. How can I continue to troubleshoot this? Maybe a bad motherboard?
I get 7 beeps after I click the power button. my options but I understand this might mean a processor issue? I am fairly handy so is this something I could do myself if I purchase parts? My laptop is NOT under warranty.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy laptop INSPIRON 17 (3721) has problems to start and makes 5 beeps. I saw in other forum that it is a matter of the coin battery. I have already changed it and it is still doing the same. It doesn't show video, there's no fan noise but the power led is on. After about 5 minutes the fan starts.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 1 year old dell inspiron 5520 and about a month or two back, the display started showing white lines at the top and bottom. One day, it stopped working and we gave it to this tech guy. He replaced the motherboard and battery(The laptop worked but was noticeably slower). The white lines still existed and the screen started jumping up and down. Changing the refresh rate worked temporarily. And then my mother gave it to the tech guy again. She got suspicious of him and asked him to return it. And he did but now, the laptop display won't boot and there's the 8 beeps. I connected the laptop to our properly working PC monitor to see if it was the laptop's display's fault. But, it still gives 8 beeps and the monitor shows a blank black screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor the last week i have noticed there is something wrong with my laptop. Every night i turn it off and in the morning it doesn't turn on at all its like the power button is broken or something. After 10 minutes of removing and putting the battery in( same with AC adapter) it finally starts without the battery only with the adapter plugged in. Until this morning of course - now it looks like its completely dead...
I have already done hard resets with 45 seconds holding the power button. Also the LED light on the charger is glowing just perfect so its not a problem with the adapter. I use my laptop for work and i have very important things there ...
My laptop was working fine yesterday. This morning when I turned it on nothing happened. The back light on the power button doesn't even come on.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy laptop doesnt want to turn on at all while pressing the power switch. When this problem occured, i dont know how the laptop automatically powered on without me touching it. THe second time it turned on, i tried to pressed the power button, the laptop didnt go to sleep mode, which is supposed to happen normally. I tried holding the switch for more than 10 seconds, it didnt powered off. When i hit restart from the charm bar, the laptop shuts down and turns back on without problem.. But then i hit the shutdown, it turned off... But, i cant get it back on, i even tried holding it for a minute. I even took the battery out, tried it with the AC, but no luck..
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe power button on my XPS 13 has been slowly becoming less and less responsive when the machine is powered off and has now (After ~a year and a half) reached the point where it will no longer power on at all.
What makes this more confusing is that the button seems to work normally whenever the machine is on.
I got an inspiron 11 on Friday. I started noticing that sometimes the touchscreen wouldn't work correctly. Sometimes It takes a few taps to register a touch, other times it just quits working for a few seconds. This makes it hard to do anything, and makes it completely impossible to play any touchscreen games.
After a couple days, I finally figured out that It was on battery power that I had the problems. When plugged in the touchscreen works perfectly.
I have downloaded all the dell upgrades, and windows upgrades. I've also tried to turn off all the battery saving options I could find. Under power options advanced screen I changed every option to the same for plugged in and on battery. I turned off the option for dells power saving features. In device manager I took away windows ability to put usb hub asleep. There Is probably more I'm forgetting. Basically everywhere I seen a difference between battery and plugged in, i changed.
It passes all the hardware checks, both through dell software, and on the bootup hardware check.
I use this in tablet mode 90% of the time. And returning it to laptop mode to use touchpad/keyboard just isn't acceptable
I put my laptop on sleep by closing the lid but after some time when I open the lid it doesn't show any display. I tried to on the laptop by pressing power button but it doesn't responding. I bought it around 4 months ago.

This week I took delivery of an Inspiron 7000 laptop for my daughter, and some of the keyboard symbols are typing incorrectly. EG when hitting the " key she get the @ symbol, the @ symbol is giving the british pound symbol, and maybe one or two others are incorrect (I am at work at present and don't have the laptop with me to give all the wrong keys).
