I have a Dell inpiron 9200 that has recently developed a display problem. I now have a faint flickering 45mm column at the right hand portion of the LCD. All around it, the display is fine. There is one 45mm column to the right of the troubled one, and it is OK.
I suspect this is a memory problem, but have been unable to locate any information on the web.
The laptop is out of warranty (of course!) so I’m hoping to find and fix myself.
I’ve run diagnostics, which all pass. The display “behind” the column is visible and readable.
Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks!

Kurt,
You can try to minimize the system to the bare minimum and leave just three essential parts – the main board, the CPU with cooling module and the memory. Connect an external monitor and turn the laptop on. If you still get nothing on the external screen, then most likely the system board is bad, assuming that you use a working memory.

Kurt,
The first thing to check would be the memory module. Try to reseat the module, remove if from the socket and insert back. Try moving it into another slot. Borrow the memory module from another laptop and install it into the failed laptop.
Remove the battery and wait for a minute. Try to start the laptop from AC power without the battery. Make sure that the AC adapter is fine and works properly.

Ashley,
you are expeiencing what many of us are suffering from. It is a flaw in the Dell laptops design. Basically there is an overheating problem which puts out excessive heat that is higher than a motherboard is supposed to be exposed to over long periods of time. The heat over time has cracked connection points. There are websites that give instructions how to find and solder these connections back together. hope this helps.

Ashley,
I think that your problem is related to a loose connection or a bad video cable. I think it’s possible that the video cable disconnected from the screen of from the motherboard. The only way to troubleshoot it is to open up the laptop and take a look on the cables and connectors.
BTW, do you get any video if you connect an external monitor?

My Inspiron started randomly shutting off when I would touch the screen (the screen and wireless card will shut off but the power light remains on). It gradually got worse and worse, and today stopped turning on at all. The battery and power cord have both been checked and are working fine. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be?

Thomas,
If the laptop is asking for a hard drive password you’ve never set, then I would try to upgrade/re-flash the BIOS. I know that this problem might occur on some Toshiba laptops and it might ask you for the HDD password (assuming that you never set it up) when the hard drive is going bad. On Toshiba laptops the problem could be fixed by upgrading the BIOS version. I’m not sure if it works on Dell laptops.

Okay here goes. I recently purchased new memory for my Dell Latitude laptop model CPx. after installation nothing happened. Got a hold of seller from ebay, told me to try them one at a time to confirm both were operational.
The computer booted up for two seconds and read as follows. “The amount of system memory has changed.
Well the next thing you know I’m staring at this screen asking my to enter the HDD password for authentication. That is truly something new for me.
It has “Hard-disk #*********-595B” on the screen. I saw some other questions about this earlier. I’m no genius, but i don’t carry a book on cracking security codes on laptops. Any help out there for this Dell user wishing he never bought more memory……………….
