Sam,
could you please provide more details, your question is not very clear. You hardly can see anything only on the laptop LCD screen (probably bad inverter board) or on the external monitor (might be a problem with the motherboard). Why did you mention the VGA port?

faq intel,
sorry to say but I think you are right, it looks like a problem with the motherboard. If you have the same problem even with another power adapter, there has to be something wrong with the main board. Probably you’ll have to replace the board.

My Inspiron 510m 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!

Dan Kelley,
Test RAM. Download Memtest86+ utility, create a bootable floppy or CD disk and boot the laptop from this media. The test will start automatically. I think you might have a bad memory stick. If you have two memory stick installed into your notebook, remove them one by one. Try starting the laptop with only one RAM module installed, try both memory slots.
If the memory passes, test the hard drive. You can use Hitachi’s drive fitness test. Run an advanced test.
You’ll find links to both utilities in the “Links” on the right pane.

Torrance,
Probably it’s just a software problem. Try booting the laptop into safe mode. Can you boot to the desktop in safe mode?

Sunshinedelight,
Last week I posted instructions for taking apart screen on Dell Latitude D610. I don’t think it would be much different from Inspiron 510m and disassembly steps should be almost the same.

I boot up my Dell Inspiron 2500 and I get the “Windows XP” screen, then it goes blue, then black. Could it be the LCD, or is it a problem with the software (Windows XP)? What need to be fixed and how is it done?
