Computer Dell laptop inspiron n5110 is not disabled after stopping

I am facing problem on turn off. After the press is shut down, just close the lcd screen but still the power button is lit. I have to press and hold the power button / full stop. Please notify. I'm really worried because of this problem,

***SOLUTION***

This is a hardware problem, not a software problem. I am running the factory Win 7 home x64 and dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 x64, with this exact problem in both OS's.

What I did is I took out the keyboard and the palm rest (there should be a tear down guide put out by Dell) and you should see a coin cell battery. I took it out for about 10 seconds and then put it back in. I also checked all the other connections and removed and reseated the HDD. 

I then went into BIOS and made sure there weren't any funky settings. It now shuts down, suspends, and wakes properly (only tested in Ubuntu 12.04)

I have no clue how or why, but that's what did it.

  • Computer Dell laptop connects wireless but not online

    I have a Dell laptop that I bought about five months ago. We just bought a router wireless about two weeks ago and it was working fine until a few days ago, when the internet connection is slow all day until we have reset the internet modem itself. That day, my computer wouldn't connect to the internet after a few hours of surfing on slow internet. After that reset us it, he started to work very well. Then, the next day it was working fine until it just stopped to let us browse the internet. My desktop computer that uses a USB connection wireless and the Xbox 360 with WiFi, both work. Now, I pressed my button wireless countless times, and I am connected to my network with almost full bars. Some of the software on my computer can connect to the internet, as the update of windows, but I can't use any internet browser - I use Safari, but I tried as well IE. When I look at the plan of the connection, there is a line dashed to the router from my computer, but he always says that I have full internet access. Has connectivity IPv4 and IPv6 is not. I tried to uninstall my card, but it did not reinstall rebooted once and I undid the system restore I had tried a few days earlier to pick up my internet. We also tried to connect with an ethernet cable - says there is connection, but also will not let me do anything. Also, I ran diagnostics on my cards and Windows said reset, but I still have the problem and it "resets" whenever the diagnostics are executed. IP address of my router starts with 192. I've searched and searched for answers, but nothing works.

  • back to zero/remove bios password for computer dell laptop

    is anyone know how reset/remove password bios on a dell laptop inspiron 1150? When I bought it, the said person that they don't remember the password. I have a disk recovery and thought, I could find it. but it was not the windows password. It's the bios. all I can do is switch on the laptop! anyone out there know the generic bios password? Reference Dell tell me since it is guaranteed outta and wants me to pay much time resting/remove it. also is it for me on my toshiba satellite years before and they wanted to charge me big buck, too. think that someone can help me out there, please? Thanks for your time.  -Coyote

    Option 1: open, you look at your motherboard laptop case. Locate the CMOS jumper, that's close to the battery. Claire remove the shunt and turn on your PC with in 5 to 10 seconds and turn it off. Reinsert the shunt to there correct place and try to turn to go to the BIOS, if there will be a password box will appear.

    Option 2: You must open your laptop and look at the motherboard and locate the CMOS battery. Just delete it with in 5 minutes to clear the BIOS password.

  • Computer Dell laptop/windows xp, got virus.tried to fix. BAD IDEA. ERROR: DLL msgina.dll UI winlogon.exe - bad image.logon failed to load.

    Computer Dell laptop of my husband has a virus that wants you to install a fake security program. I tried to fix it. OOPS. I tried to choose an earlier date to restore your computer to and I got zapped, crashed and burned. Error is now: winlogon.exe - bad image then the msgina.dll login user interface DLL failed to load, contact admin to replace the dll or restore the original dll. I don't have a boot cd. Is there a way of "back door" to get his computer works again?

    As you know now, do a restore of the system on a severely infected machine is not a good thing. Better to save the data and do a clean installation of Windows. You can try to do it yourself, but based on your post, which I would not recommend it. I don't mean to hurt your feelings, just to be practical. It would be better to take the machine to a competent local tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place).

    If you really want to try it yourself, here's what you need to do:

    1. start the computer with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix. You are using Linux, copy the data files on an external hard drive.
    2. install Windows using the XP Dell installation CD.
    3. install all the drivers for Dell. Use the Dell Resource CD or get the drivers from the Dell advance website.
    4. switch to XP Service Pack 3 and do all the Windows updates.
    5. install a good antivirus - NOD32 (commercial), Avast or Avira (both have free versions).
    6. install all other desired programs, updated if necessary (especially if you have MS Office).
    7. analyze data saved with the antivirus before you copy it to the new clean install. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Pre-installed Vista CD computer Dell laptop allows you to install Vista on another computer of dell desktop originally pre-installed with XP?

    Hello.

    Have an old dell desktop with XP.
    Have a new computer dell laptop with Vista.

    Both came pre-installed.
    Both came with a CD to reinstall Windows.

    Am I allowed to install Vista from that original CD on the desktop?
    I did, then you have the problem (not genuine copy of Vista). I have since reinstalled Vista, but before I completely setting up the office, once again, I want to make sure that I am able to do this (do not want the new not genuine error).

    Specific questions:
    1. am I allowed to use portable CD to install Vista on another computer?
    2. If so, that must be done to ensure the "not genuine" error can't?

    Thanks for any help.

    Reference Dell binds their records to their motherboards.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    And a Vista license = a Vista Installation.
