Heidi Wood,
Now test the hard drive. Download and run the Hitachi’s drive fitness test , you’ll find the link in Resources in the sidebar. This problem could be related to a faulty hard drive.

Once I press ’safe mode’ it seems to freeze with a lot of different words amd numbers written below ’safe mode.’

Heidi Wood,
I think it can be a software related problem. Can you boot the laptop in Safe mode?
Turn on the laptop and press F8 before the laptop starts booting into Windows. Try using Last Known Good Configuration option, it might help.

Hello, I have a Dell 8600 laptop and last week it asked if I wanted to restart it…so I did! Well, it turns on fine, but when the screen should pop up asking if I would like to get on my side of the computer, or my father’s, mother’s, or even brother’s side of the computer…that screen never pops up…it remains a black screen, even though my laptop is still turned on! HELP!

Robin,
It’s hard to guess what is wrong. Try removing some devices such as hard drive, DVD drive, wireless card and see if it makes any difference and you can get video. Try reseating the RAM module, move it from one slot to another.
Remove the battery and try starting the laptop from the AC adapter, without the battery installed.

Hi! I have a Dell INspiron XPS GEN1 laptop, which I bought over ebay a few days ago. It arrived as brand new. And I can see that it is all orginally sealed. But I cannot turn it on. After pressing the power button, the three lights in the middle went on for a few seconds and went away. The hard drive light flashes once before it goes away. The LCD flickers once as well. I tried it so many times and it gives me the same result.
But if I press and hold either F10 or F11 or “start-menu” key at the lower left before all those three lights go away, those lights will stay. Meanwhile, the fan turns on as well, although it does not turn the computer on. And neither the lights nor the fan stops until I unplug it.
This happens no matter I am working with AC or battery. The lights on the battery were off always. But it should have some power in it.
Anyone can help me? It is a new one, although has gone out of warranty long ago. Thanks so much!

Peter,
I don’t know. To narrow down the problem it is necessary to test the laptop with another screen.

CJ2600, Thank you for the reply. After looking at all of the evidence, I came to the conclusion that a power surge or over heating of the video card caused the display to go bad. With the new video card, the problem is better, but not solved.
To sum up when the video card went bad, so did the monitor, but not the inverter. Does this make sense? Or do you think the problem stems from a bad motherboard? Or even a different problem?
Thank you for all the help.

Georgina,
Test the laptop with headphones. If you can hear sound using headphones but external speakers do not work, you might have faulty speakers.
If both external speakers and headphones do not work, you might have a software related problem. Check all setting again just to make sure the sound is turned on. Try reinstalling the audio driver.
