• Dell XPS 8500 does not start after the interruption of system restore

  It was one thing to do, but I turned off my PC during the restoration of the system because he took time to complete the process.  The next day I couldn't boot into windows.  I tried the automatic repair feature, but it does not work.  I tried to repair windows using the orignal installation disk, but it does not work.  I tried to install Windows 8 all over again, but I got an error message - media pilot is missing.  I opened the box uninstall the RAM, videocard unplugged and both drives and reinstall, but without success.  I noticed that there is an orange/orange light on the motherboard.  I thought it was the hard drive at the beginning, but now I hope that this is not the motherboard.  Any help will be appreciated.

  You have damaged the image beyond repair.  You need to reinstall from scratch.  Windows to say that an optical drive driver is missing, bad copy of DVD-RW, DVD + R or DVD - R media that was not burned at 1 X 2 X or 4 X, so is not readable.  This is why USB Flash Drive 16 GB or more is recommended rather than the DVD player to the installation media.

  Why doesn't my CD or DVD drive?

  Troubleshoot installation of Windows 7 Service Pack 1

  A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing
  A media computer driver needs is missing
  error message when you install Windows

  This problem occurs for the following reasons:

  The installation DVD is removed during the installation process.
  A bad quality DVD has been used to create the installation DVD.
  The speed at which the installation DVD is burnt was too fast.
  The DVD drive cannot read media.
  The ISO file is corrupted.

• Dell XPS-8900 does not start

  Worked well to date, 01/01/2016 - Happy New Year, NO!

  Change power cable, use a different outlet (other items such as router and network printer can very well). Computer still does not start.

  When I plug it in the computer power light turns on light and then turns off (this seemed normal before). So if I push the power button computer does not start.

  I don't seem to get an orange light sequence of 2-1 after trying to turn it on - and continues. Maybe some sort of signal POST?

  I can turn the computer (not my first choice) after our journey ahead. But I'd rather get it upward and now running. Have work to do.

  More information. I had four USB3 external drives attached, whose two propulsion and two disks Seagate Wireless - which is recharged through its USB port.

  Removing only the second Seagate drive allows the machine starts. So the question can be too much of a drain on the USB card current.

  Once started, the system seems to work very well with that wireless Seagate drive attached, and it restarts with it attached - just not boot from a condition of Shut Down.

  Not sure really, I understand that, but I can live with that.

  If someone seems something more insidious in this behavior, please notify; bought the XPS-8900 at COSTCO and still about 55 days return if it is defective!

• (Redirected) Dell Inspiron N5110 does not start

  Hi, my laptop Dell Inspiron N5110 is now 3 years old. I recently had a hard drive fail, then replaced by a new. Now the machine does not start. I have a boot disk in the DVD player that swirls, but gets no further. I get also is no longer the screen Dell displays (before the windows one). In fact, everything is empty. I tried to remove the power supply by battery pack and power holding down the button for 1 minute then re - again no difference. Is there anything else I can do or is the death machine?

  Thank you

• Studio XPS 8100 does not start

  Hello!  I have a 2010 studio xps 8100 (Intel (r) Core i7 CPU 860 to 2.80 GHz, 8 GB ram) and it's great when it works.  Last week, I was out of town and when I came back it would not start upward.  I can turn it on and start the fans, but it does not pass the POST and therefore does not start.  I tested the ram and it seemed ok (two beeps when trying to boot without ram, no beeps when ram is correctly placed).  The original of the graphics card died last year and I had it replaced with an EVGA Geforce GTX 750, I chose because it was one of the few cards that could work with the power supply 350w provided with your computer.  I thought that maybe the PSU was then replaced by a 500w PSU, but the problem persists.  I then read somewhere that if you SNYC date/time problems (which I was when the computer would turn on) that you need to replace the battery on the motherboard, so I did and still does not start.  I don't know what I can do, is the dead motherboard?  I tried the drain the power thing (release the button so that disconnected power for 30 seconds) and that didn't work either.

  maddygillis

  Yes, but I'm sure that the battery is not the issue.  If it was I'd get stack codes error beep (5 beeps).

  Not necessarily...

  maddygillis

  It does not pass the POST because it does not start...

  If the video card is faulty, the PC can still start but you just do nothing appears on the monitor, so I don't know that you can actually say that it does not pass POST.

  When you have tested the monitor with your laptop, did you use the same cable and video port on the monitor that you use with desktop? If you have used another port on the screen with the laptop with the office, this is not a fair test.

  Have you tried reinstalling the video card into its slot and check the connections of the video cable at both ends?

  This system has onboard video and Pluggable software component video card. So, you can remove the add-in card and switch the monitor to the onboard video port. According to the specifications, the onboard video has HDMI and DVI outputs, so assuming that your monitor supports either people, you have an easy way to test more.

  NOTE: The embedded video ports are DISABLED unless you physically remove the video card. If you cannot move just the video cable to a built-in port while the video card is installed.

• Dell PowerEdge 2850 does not start on a CD of ESXi 3.5

  Hello...

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850, who does not start on a CD of VMware ESXi 3.5.  The server works very well with Windows 2000 server.  My first thought to solve this problem was the BIOS.  This is all what I've updated in what concerns the firmware on the box today.

  BIOS - A07

  Perc4e/Di - 5B2D, A19

  BMC Firmware - 1.83, A10

  Here are the latest versions of firmware available from Dell on this box.  The machine starts to start the machine.  But all I see is the first line of text of the CD which is the following:

  ISOLinux 3.63 2008-04-10 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 h. Peter Anvin

  My next thought was that there was something wrong with the ISO image that I downloaded.  I tested it on another machine; has worked like a champ.  Now, I read on a few different posts within the VMware communities that some people have had luck with this question and others did not.

  The inventory number of Dell on the machine is 6HDGS81

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Some of the Dell CD-ROM may be little flighty. I had hard time to install a CD earlier which worked perfectly well on another machine. I made another copy of the disc, this time burning the CD at a 4 x speed. The installation went perfectly fine afterwards.

• XPS 8300 does not start

  I put my pc in sleep mode after you have finished with him and he's going to return to what it was when I push the power button. But this morning when I press the button, it does not start. All I can see is the cpu fan began to turn for 1 second and stopped and this process repeated subsequently. I unplugged my PC and I tried to reboot, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

  clockwork_orange

  I ordered the new mobo and also some thermal paste and cleaning an antistatic wristband. I also have an anti-static bag ready for wireless card should be stored in. I also have the service manual ready to guide me through the process. Are there other boards or pieces of advice that you can say about replacement like for like the mobo and all the other parts? I've never done this before so although I'm confident enough to try it, I'm still a little nervous that I could make a stupid mistake for example, short to the Council before I even turn on. After installing everything what can I expect to turn on my PC and it will boot as if nothing had happened? -C' i.e. will my files and descktop always look the same? do I have to enter the bios at startup in the first, so yes it what could I do?

  Thanks for any help, you can suggest!

  Everyone has a first time, just take your time, read the instructions carefully and keep them perhaps practice as a reference.

  A clue, as there no way of knowing at what age the MoBo, is, it is better to replace the battery, a 3V CR2032 Lithium coin battery is required, they are cheap to buy and it is easy to replace before the MoBo is installed.

  After installing everything what can I expect to turn on my PC and it will boot as if nothing had happened?

  If everything of fine, Yes, but there is always the factor X [aka unknown].
  

  IE will be my folders and office always look the same?

  It should be.

  what I have to enter the bios at startup from the first to the top.

• Dell XPS 12 - will not start / turns on after hard reset

  Last night I was with my XPS w12 in laptop mode on battery and he finally went down to 7% of the capacity.  At this point, it turns off the display and I moved my office to connect the power adapter (thinking it would simply turn the display when there was enough power...  The screen never came back (I waited 15-20 minutes), but the battery has been recharged.  At that time, I tried a hard reset by holding the power button for 5 to 10 seconds.

  When I tried to turn it on, nothing happened.  No backlit keyboard, no screen, just the fan.  The light never came the switch either. So I tried an another hard reset with the same results.  I even tried to turn it on with the "D" button held down for on board diagnostics and got nothing more than the start of the fan.

  I thought it might be an overheating problem, so I let it set for an hour and tried again - none other than the fan. It seems that the laptop does not pass the initial diagnosis and not even up to the point where the bios starts to load.

  I really thought that my cell phone was dead and ready for use.  I took it in the office the next day so I could call Dell Support Pro. Just for fun, I plugged with the AC adapter and tried to turn it on - viola!  It started working again.

  I had this problem once before, and he began to work after 2-3 resets hard. I was working on a proposal when the laptop went down. I tried reset hard over a period of 4 hours with no result. It baffles me why it start OK the next day morning.

  I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.  I am running the A07 BIOS (the most common) and my 12 XPS is configured with 8 GB of memory and 256 GB SSD with an i7 and Intel wireless card.

  Any suggestions on this diagnosis? The hardest part is then if fails, the failure is total - you are unable to diagnosis. When she comes back, all right, and there is than any event in the event log that relate to the failure.

  OK - I narrowed down it to the following:

  When the laptop is "asleep", it will finally in power mode. It seems that connect a power adapter for the laptop at this point will enter a State of confusion, when the button is pressed, the laptop fan turns on but no light on the power button or on the keyboard – the screen remains blank.  Laptop fan works (it is very quiet - he must hold the phone to your ear to hear it).

  I don't know if the cause is a low battery or if the issue is simply with the State of the CPU to power down.  All I know is that when it happens, if I disconnect the power adapter and press and hold the power button until the fan of the laptop turns off, the hard reset allows him to come back normally.  If you leave the adapter attached, it will charge the battery but will not allow the laptop start.

  I said this experiment several times with the same result every time. I'm guessing that there is a bug in the BIOS that defines an error state that are resolved with the associated power Board. Do the hard reset without the adapter seems reliable to fix the problem.

• XPS 8500 does not turn on, power supply problem

  XPS 8500 shipped on 18/01/13 so only a little more than 1 years. does illuminate, check psu and it's fine. reduce mobo or power button module. want to try to bypass the module by jumping pins on the mobo, problem is that I can't find any list of the pins for mobo or power button. Any help would be greatly appreciated since comp is barely over the years and cannot afford a new right now. Called Dell but no help it cause guaranteed missed, which took them 5 transfers and 45 minutes to tell me that :)

  If the green light on the power supply goes off, it detects an anomaly. So, it is not the power button that does not work.

  1. Visually check all ports USB for damage, misshapen or twisted for example contacts
  2. Try to turn on with nothing attached (no keyboard, no monitor, no mouse, etc.)
  3. Setting power off unplug and power button press / hold for ~ 15s open the case and carefully reconnect all RAM modules and PCI cards in their locations. Check the power cable from the power SUPPLY mobo and CPU. Cable control to all readers, video card etc... Pull the mobo battery and power press on/hold button for ~ 30, replace the battery (right-side-to the top).
  4. Check the cable to the module button before (F_PANEL connector on the mobo)
  5. Check before USB cable to motherboard
  6. Etc.

  The manual is hereif you need information about all of these connectors.

• Dell Precision T3500 does not start

  I have Dell T3500 Office, I pressed the Start button and the lamp on the Start button began to blink for a few seconds with a noise of power supply (SMPS/PSU) and 1 and 3 flashing and lights out. During this time I have observed that the power supply fan GET making small movements but does not turn the LED on the motherboard (orange) lights. I tried to start again and again, it does not work.

  Is this because the PSU become defective? or simply a RAM issue? I removed the RAM cleaned and then re inserted but it went past too to no avail. Can someone help me please to solve this?

  Flashing power button / stop Amber is bad food.

• XPS 8700 does not start after the upgrade memory RAM

  Dear members of the Forum.

  I have a XPS 8700 with the following specifications:

  Core i7 4770 k

  2 TB HARD DRIVE

  16 GB of Ram (4 x 4 GB)

  NVidia GTX 660 (1.5 GB)

  BIOS version A10 (later).

  RAM sticks in my current system are all Micron Tech (here) 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s.

  I had two RAM modules of tech Micron (here) 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s so that I can move on to a total of 24 GB.

  After the discussion here and here, I installed the modules in slots 1 & 2 (both white) so that the system is not able to start. Not even got the bios screen. I also tried 3 & 4 configuration (both black) I ran my computer with the two 8 GB sticks only, with the same unfortunate results.

  I also saw that it is a normal problem of compatibility problems between the types of ram, but I consider that this is not the case. In addition, bad positioning of the modules is not also the case because if I put my old ram glue the computer starts normally.

  I used tape you will static isolation.

  Is the problem, a problem of compatibility between my computer and the RAM modules?

  If the RAM is damaged does these effects (do not start)?

  How can I check if the RAM modules are damaged?

  What would be your suggestions?

  I thank very you much in advance!

  Mauricio

  Hmm, I'd say you two bad sticks of RAM.  If the system POST even with them, I would swap them if you can.  We know that the RAM slots work because you have 4 x 4 sticks without any problem and your computer can take up to 32 GB of RAM.  Your admission that you bought the right kind of RAM, voltage, and speed, etc., so that shouldn't be a problem.  I would say as bad RAM.  When you do not install, just check that you make pairs in each of the colored slots, for example. matching pairs in the slot of white and black.

• Dell Dimension C521 does not start

  I have a Dell Dimension C521 desktop computer. When I try to start it, the fan turns on and is really hard, but the screen does not light. The power light on my computer lights up (green), but the 3 & 4 diagnostic lights flash repeatedly on the front of the computer. What is the cause? What can I do about it?

  NetFanatic123

  Hello Bev,

  The rest green power light on, no blinking, no beeps. I had no problem until last night after that I removed the hard drive and reinstalled.

  How can I remove the memory modules?

  Thanks :)

   

  NetFanatic123

  For the removal and reinstallation of the RAM, details are HERE NOTE from the ADMIN: broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

  A hint: make sure that the modules are filled into the slots and the clips are in the notches.

  While the case is open, check that all the power cable and the data are correctly connected to the drive and the motherboard, by removing and reconnecting them.

  Why the hard disk has been deleted and reinstalled, was this HD replacement, or what?

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. what happens when you start the laptop, you receive no error message?

  2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

  I suggest to remove the battery and connect the laptop to AC power and then try to start the computer to see if the problem is with the battery.

  I suggest you to contact Dell support on the issue, as this can be a hardware problem.

• Output HDMI not working not not for Dell XPS L502X does not work after upgrade to Windows 10

  Hi all

  Good so I have this laptop Dell XPS L502X that I bought in 2012. The laptop provided with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Edition.

  His output HDMI for my Sony LED used previously to work properly.

  But there are a few months that those offered by Microsoft, I upgraded my OS from Windows 7 Home edition to Windows Home Edition 10 laptop.  Since the upgrade, everything worked fine except I don't get HDMI output to my TV.

  I tried to search for solutions online but do not know what could be the problem? Can someone guide me in the right direction please?

  Thank you.

  I am happy to update this thread, the problem of my laptop screen is displayed using HDMI on my Sony TV, solved on its own with the last update for Windows 10 which includes the OS 1607 version build: 14393.187

  To all of you who always fights for the configuration of HDMI output for their laptop to the television after upgrade to Windows 10, I'm sure that the last Windows Update will solve the problem.
