Dan,
It’s possible that one of the devices in your laptop is defective and it’s causing the problem. Here’s what you can try to narrow down the problem. Minimize the system as much as you can. Remove hard drive, DVD drive, wireless card, modem, maybe even unplug the keyboard and use an external one. You don’t need all these devices to get into the BIOS. Test the laptop with all above mentioned devices removed. If it still doesn’t work properly in BIOS, probably you have a bad motherboard. Try reflashing the BIOS if you can.
If the laptop starts working fine, start installing all removed devices one by one and find witch one is causing the problem.

Hey Brittany, From what you say I gather that you shutdown your computer in the middle of the bios flash or used the wrong bios flash or something along those lines. Anyway from what I hear you are pretty much screwed. I believe though if you replace the bios chip you should be okay. Maybe try removing the cmos battery (looks like a watch battery somewhere inside the computer) and putting it back in. You never know.
Anyway I got my own problem. I’m pretty sure I have a Dell Latitude c840 with a bad motherboard but Who knows maybe someone can reinforce it and maybe its something different. Anyway I recieved laptop with windows xp on it and it booted up and appeared to be fine except it was dead slow. I’m taking NON-USABLE SLow. It ran so slow that you couldn’t even type because the response to the keyboard was off. I figured bad drivers, registry or something else so I wiped the hard drive and tried to reinstall windows XP. Unfortunately the problem still existed and I never suceeded in reinstalling xp because I couldn’t type in the COA because of the bad keyboard response. NOTE I plugged in an external keyboard to verify this wasn’t a keyboard issue. Anyway this thing was so slow it took like 30 seconds to get through bios. Can anyone come up with a better diagnosis or am I right in assuming it is a bad motherboard. Thanks

I have a latitute 131L that I use for work, and I always get these annoying Dell updates, that I usually ignore. Well, yesterday I decided to install the updates, the first one was a BIOS update, and it froze the computer. Now the computer won’t start up. I press the power button, it starts to turn on, then I hear two beeps, and nothing. looking at the BIOS codes, the two beeps means its not recognizing the video card, which would explain why nothing is working. should I bother trying to reseat the video card, even if it was a BIOS update that caused it to stop working?

Alek Davis,
Sounds like a bad system board to me, I could be wrong but sound like it. The AC adapter plugs directly into the system board and if the board is dead, probably it’s bad. For $65 you can find a used motherboard
, just search here for “Inspiron 8500 motherboard”.
Here you’ll find instructions for replacing the motherboard.

Victoria,
If you are experiencing the same problem with a few different laptops, then most likely this problem is not related to laptop hardware.
Check the BIOS version installed on faulty laptops. Maybe there is more recent BIOS release witch covers this problem?

I have Dell Inspiron 8500, which I can no longer turn on. When I press the power button, I see the LEDs blinking once and then nothing happens. I do not hear the hard drive spinning, fan, or any other sounds normally coming from a starting laptop. The BIOS screen does not show either. It looks like there is absolutely no power. I tried to turn it on with the battery removed, with a different (known to be good) power supply, with a different RAM module (borrowed from a different laptop). Nothing helps. The laptop seems totally dead. I have replaced a hard drive not long ago, but I doubt that the issue is caused by the drive, since even the BIOS screen does not come up. I’ve noticed that some people had similar symptoms. Was anyone able to figure out and fix the issue? I would hate to spend $65 for diagnostics to find out that the repair would cost over $200. Any ideas? Thanks.

Issue relating to boot problems not displaying screen correcting - maybe SP2 related? A particular issue with XPHome. Unfortunately, the only way I’m away of how to fix it is safe mode and re-set screen configs.
I have an issue with a bundle of d400’s I’ve acquired. When powered up, the screen will randomly fail to show, and sometimes when in use, the screen will cut out. Have tested backlight/invertor - ok, RAM - ok etc.
About 10% of what I’ve got has this issue - any ideas?
