i need dell inspiron 4000 mother board manual

Gerald,
Most likely just a bad RTC (CMOS) battery and the problem will be fixed after you replace the battery.

Mike,
The same bad video appears on both laptop screen and external monitor. Sounds like a faulty video card. Unfortunately I know just one way to fix the problem – replace the video card.

Kristen,
Today I am experiencing that exact same problem. My Inspiron 8600 will not charge. My AC adapter lights up and seems to be fine on its own.
As soon as I plug in the adapter into my laptop, I can hear a very light popping sound, and the light on my adapter immediately goes out. The laptop is not charging, but starts up and functions fine with the battery.
I took the entire thing apart into pieces, and looked for parts that might be loose or something in need of soldering. But no luck there. Also, I tried using another charger from a friend, but the problem persist.
I am beginning to fear a motherboard problem (with the charging or power circuit). Any suggestions or ideas are welcome!

HI,MY DELL INSPIRON 2200 LAPTOP DOES NOT UPDATE TIME & DATE AFTER SHUTTING DOWN & POWER UP. IS THIS A BATTERY PROBLEM?

My 4 yr old inspiron 8500 has been working fine until last weekend. The screen flickers with vertical strips. Seems like when I pick up the laptop the lines jump around and flicker more than when it’s just sitting there. I connected to external monitor and get the same flickering. This problem occurs pretty much from boot up .. even affects the text output that you see when the computer first boots up .. shows the text chars fine but the vertical lines are vertical colored lines. Anyway, I opened up the computer.. took out and reseated the memory as well as the video card. That didn’t help. Yesterday I was able to operate for about 20 mins without any flickering (didn’t move the computer at all) then started pressing around the panel with the power button (and status lights) and picked up the computer a bit and the lines and flickering started again. I’m guessing the video card is bad or the connections are bad. Any way I can fix this? Could this be the “cracked connection points” mentioned above? If so, where can I find info about this? (Searched google and didn’t find anything)

I have a dell Latitude D505, It will not accept a charge. The problem started with my AC adapter, when adapter plugged into wall the power light lit up indicating that there was power running thru it. Once it was plugged into my computer and the connection had made full contact, the adapter light went out. It would then still work by charging with my port replicater and would charge that way. About a month later, I began to have the same problem with my replicator, once I connected my laptop the power lights would go out on my replicator. My computer will start and function properly with a charged battery, but I am unable to charge my batteries or run on AC. Any suggestions or comments on what may be creating this problem? Thanks

Anna,
Have you tried reinstalling the video driver? You can find the driver on the Dell Support website in the Drivers and Downloads section. You have to enter your laptop model and then the operating system installed on your laptop. After that you’ll get a list of downloads available for your computer. Download and install the video adapter driver and see if it fixes the problem.
