Hi – I have a Dell Latitude C610. It will power up fine with the battery out, but not when the battery is installed. Should I try buying a new battery or is it more likely a motherboard problem? Thank you!

I rolled back my system restore, which I have done a few months ago too, and the screen works fine now. I think that it was a driver issue, even the dell star up logo is back to normal. thanks again

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
Dan

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?
