• Laptop Inspiron 15z 5523 - 3 beeps, black screen

  Hey guys

  Trying to solve a problem with the laptop Dell of the Madame; which is an Inspiron 15z 5523.

  1st thing - it is out of warranty, so need to try an auto fix if possible, otherwise I'm sensing it's maybe time for a new laptop for her as well as advice on data recovery will be appreciated on the line.

  Is also worth mentioning that it came on a few days after the installation of Windows 10 - unsure if that is related, but it is worth a mention.

  The problem is that, whatever happens, we are faced with a blank black screen, without and without LED backlight anywhere. It has now begun beep 3 times in a row that as far as I can tell from the resolution of the problems (here) is a system board failure.

  However, for now I did the following:

  • Allowed battery drain and try to run on current alternative
  • Reset the motherboard (using the method of trombone/reset button)
  • Troubleshooted using the link above
  • Confirmed that it was out of warranty

  The main priorities are trying to get this working again once and if not, get the data from the laptop to allow us to get on a new if necessary.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Jesse

  Yahooo! Sort!

  Thank you guys for your help! It's really appreciated!

  A few things I noticed. With regard to obtaining it restarted when the three beeps are going on:

  1. There is no clear instructions "this will always work. Doing the right thing works sometimes and not others.

  2. the most consistent method, I had giving rise to compensation not only beeps, but a successful boot was as follows:

  a. remove the CMOS battery.

  b. remove the main battery or move the little switch under the keyboard (left) in the off position. Just, it disconnects the battery.

  c. press and hold the power button to drain the capacitors (now that the cache is disabled, it's just a little... Silver button so you will need a screwdriver or something to easily press it... better an electric screwdriver!)

  d. leave the computer in this State for a while. At least 10 minutes, but if you encounter some difficult, do the day after. I have no idea why this delay should be necessary, especially after draining the capacitors, but it seems to help to make it more coherent.

  e. replace the CMOS battery, and replace the main battery or drag the little switch under the keyboard to on.

  f. even once, wait 10 to 15 minutes. I have no idea why this seemed to help, but he did. Maybe the CMOS battery did something after being reinserted.

  g. do NOT connect any USB drive. Insertion of a USB key triggers a start in this case. Instead, you just connect the power cable. This will trigger an early upward. Yet once I have no idea why a power cable is better than from the battery, but it once I managed to do start, was after connecting the power cable.

  h. now, he NEVER started first time after connecting the power cable! Instead I let him run for 10-15 seconds, then turns off with the power cable (just a regular... not a helping hand hold). Wait 5 seconds and then again press the power button. Now, it would start upward and within 5 seconds, I see the Dell logo.

  Maybe a lot of this is just nonsense "Voodoo", but his seems to be the most coherent way for me.

  So two things:

  1. never started when the CMOS battery was inside. For centuries I took it out as it was easier to put the PC my remove the power cable and power off of the battery of the switch under the keyboard. But he never actually began without the CMOS battery installed.

  2. never started for me with the power cable connected, despite the battery being fully charged.

  Now, with the operation of the machine, I did a full factory reset. I don't keep anything. I think it was important, as a precaution against problems later.

  If you want to keep the data, then when you're in and running use some backup software. I used a free software called Backerupper. It seems to work.

  http://www.backup-utility.com/free-backup-software.html

  Most of the time a 'restart' was allowed to do. Just don't make a power down and then power on again. Sometimes the 'restart' not worked or got stuck and I was at the beginning, but generally worked well.

  Then the part reflashing. This bit really took me. It seems that there is more than one type of command line! I was trying to make a USB bootable image Win98 and while it would be starting, I couldn't install the new BIOS.

  Instead, what you need is to download a program called Rufus

  https://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

  Configure the partition to Partition MBR to boot UEFI and legasy.

  Set to FAT32 file system

  Check "create a bootdisk for help.

  Box to the right of the "MS-DOS". It's probably already on ISO image, but you want MS-DOS.

  It is the MS-DOS which allows for the flash player.

  Download the latest Bios from Dell (it's 5523A05.exe) and copy it to the memory stick.

  Now paste the memory stick into the USB port on the left side of the computer, the closest of the screen. (It is right next to the HDMI port).

  Now, RESTART your PC. As soon as the Dell logo appears, press F12 until the Startup menu appears. Do not wait to see the prompt for F12... I don't think it appears on a restart. So just hit F12 as soon as the Dell logo appears.

  Once the BIOS is displayed, there is a list of options. There are "Legasy Boot" options mentioned first, and then "Boot UEFI" under them. In the "Boot Legasy" options, select "USB stick" (or something like that... Sorry I forgot the exact words).

  Now, your computer should boot from the memory stick, and displays a prompt C:\.

  Type a 5523, 05 /forceit

  If all goes well, you will have some instructions on disabling is not your computer and the update will happen and then the computer will automatically reboot and your problems should be more!

  This taken... maybe update process 2 minutes... but there were times where I thought it was to do nothing and had crashed. So don't be too nervous. Just let it do its thing.

  I hope this has been helpful to others. I really appreciate the help I received here. If nothing else, the encouragement helped keep my spirits alive!

  One from a different angle, the customer service Dell never rang me yesterday. But tonight, they called on my phone at home (are requested to call my cell phone). This lady was very nice and said that, as this laptop seem to be completely incompatible with Win 10 as evidenced by many users having issue, he would send a Dell technician to change the motherboard for me for free! At this point, the laptop was running and I was about to try to Flash the BIOS, so I told him that I thought not that it was the motherboard, and she offered send an engineer to look at and diagnose the fault and fix it.

  As I was so close to fixing myself I asked him to hold off and check with me tomorrow :) But at least they have offered to help him. A little behind in the offer, but they did end.

  So if you are struggling with Technical Support tell them that you are not satisfied with the request to pay for the repair and ask that someone from customer service call you.

  Good luck! And thanks again to all who helped me a lot!

• Iintermittent Black Screen on Inspiron 8600

  I have a laptop Inspiron 8600, Windows XP.

  For two weeks, I turned the computer to see a flash of a normal screen and then a black screen.  I can always connect (with the black screen) because behind the dark is always a low view of my office and the login screen.  If I force the computer to the Hibernate and turn back on, eventually the light comes on and stays on. (This may take from 2 to 20 tests!)  However, he can tease me in the process.  A normal screen could appear briefly from 1 to 10 seconds and still go out.  However, when the normal screen finally lights up and remains, it will remain on until I have shut down the computer.

  In fact, today, I closed the screen without shutting down the computer and 20 minutes later I opened it - it was dark again.  (but now I have the normal screen once again, so I send you this message).

  Also, I think that I can get to the screen to see if I have the cord attached, but then I can run the computer on battery afterwards.

  This has happened for two weeks.

  I have read a number of threads on the same topic, but I think mine might be a little unique.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  
  

• HP Touchsmart 310 1100 HP Screen-No Black logo or whatever it is-just a black screen

  Hi-

  I have a HP Touchsmart 310 1100 which when I turn there is only a black screen and I can hear the fans running. No HP logo or guest to enter the bios, just a completely black screen.

  I tried:

  (1) HP suggested resetting the default bios (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02217843) settings by pressing f10, f5 etc.

  (2) remove the hard drive, reinstalling memory, unplug all usb accessories

  (3) used another power supply from an another 310 HP

  (4) change the jumper on the motherboard from 1-2 to 7-8 and back to 1-2 to clear the cmos memory

  I'm about to remove the cooling fan and the unit and re-insert the processor, but I wonder if there is something to try before that.

  I'm starting to think it's a bad mother, gpu, or display the power inverter.

  It is out of warranty, so if anyone has any advice I would be happy.

  This seems to be a problem that has been listed in a dozen other posts without real solution given.

  I solved my problem with my 310 - it was the CPU. Replaced with the same model cpu AMD bought on Amazon.

  Works fine now.

  There is no video card to replace on my model 310. There is a video chip that is soldered to the motherboard.

• Black screen when viewing of DTV, can hear the program, but no image.

  original title; Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 - black screen when viewing of DTV, can hear the program, but no image.

  When I set up my Windows XP Media Center Edition PC to view DTV, I used the Setup etc., XP scanned and found all the available DTT channels. I thought as much, worked for BBC1, BBC2, worked, then I went to view ITV1 and other channels, could hear the noise perfectly, but there is no picture, just a black background. He used to work because I previously installed the computer. However, wouldn't be a difference that the TV signal will of the antenna, in a block of TNT, and then in the computer, there always used to work. I have that, it is not a signal problem because I could watch the TNT cable SCART on the computer and the image and the sound is fine just using the freeview box. It seems to be the Media Center. Please can someone help me? Thank you

  Apparently, this was caused by an outdated ATI graphics card driver. I recommend upgrading your graphics card driver to resolve this issue. Should work fine then

• Inspiron 9400 laptop, Windows Vista, black screen with cursor, befor connection, safe mode works.

  Good then Ive internet scowerd to subject a houre read a lot of black screen of death without success problems.  Ive come to the conclusion that it is a unique problem.

  Inspiron 9400, Windows vista

  Problem: I'm catching up after startup, it does not show the vista logo but showed the loading bar, doesn't make it to the login screen. Instead shows the bright black screen with a cursor, the cursor moves freely. Ctrl-alt-del does not work, StickyKeys is sound but no visual. So we know that this abomination of windows load. We are now trying to startup repair. We know that the battery did not work because more than a year, the bios indicates there is no battery, I wonder what this block that says battery is lol.

  Whatcha got for me internet doesn't let me down.

  PS one of the dumbest moments of windows.

  Repair window said. May take a few minutes.

• Said Dell Inspiron 7537 is tested on Windows 10 but the upgrade fails - black screen

  Hello all, Hello support,

  Dell Backup software and restore proposed to me that I have upgraded to Windows 10. I like this idea.

  I checked my ultrabook on the DELL Web site. Inspiron 7537 is tested (proudly said Dell) so I should be able to update my OS without flaw.

  I did 2 upgrade to Windows 10 attempts, both failed in the same way.

  It passes through several stages, but at some point, a black screen stuck and only power OFF button turns the laptop computer do something (disable). In the two attempts after 2 restarts, the installation process is back from my Windows 8.1 operating system

  Why DELL say it is tested and I can't upgrade - turns-does not work.

  I have not contacted the DELL forums on this subject (because the DELL technical support in my country told me it is Microsoft Business) If IT WAS NOT for THE FACT that DELL 'advertising' me Windows 10 and claims my laptop is ready to do the upgrade.

  Please help and explain.

  Thank you in advance.

• Inspiron 3437 black screen on wake-up after update 8.1

  Hi guys,.

  I recently bought this dell inspiron 3437 and windows update to 8.1.

  After the update, the screen remains black if the laptop has been in mode 'sleep' for more of, say, a few minutes.

  I read that it is a common problem after update to 8.1 windows, but I have not found a solution that works for my laptop.

  Any ideas on that?

  Update: yesterday I returned to windows 8, assuming that the 8.1 caused this problem.
  However, I get a black screen on wake up again and I have to do a hard reset.

  Edit: went back to 8.1 so that I could install this driver from Intel. Why is it not a standard update or in the support section of the driver dell?
  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y&DwnldID=23323&keyword=4400+graphics+driver&DownloadType=drivers&lang=eng

  Edit 2: AAARGH, who has not yet set... After a few hours of sleep he still would not wake up properly.
  So, I choose not to let my laptop to sleep, instead I leave it hibernation.

  I have changed this in the poweroptions. Just put everything to hibernate instead of sleep (so when the lid is closed, when you press the powerbutton).
  It takes a few seconds extra for the laptop to wake up (but still quite fast, less than 10 seconds), but at least the screen comes alive.

  PS. Sorry for all the dubble posts suite thisone. Assume that something went wrong yesterday.

• Black screen U2414H DisplayPort more low setting applied

  I have a dell precision computer M4800 laptop with docking station and two monitors U2414H.

  * Windows7

  * AMD over-pants M5100 FireGL V

  * I use the supplied cables supplied with the monitor miniDisplayPort

  * The docking station has two output ports DP (video 1 and video 2)

  * I've only tried the miniDisplayPort on the monitor inputs

  * The monitor was purchased through Dell

  A monitor works perfectly well, and works with a cable and either output DP (so I guess that the docking station and the cables are fine).

  However, the other monitor shows a black screen (if his hip as a single monitor or if I try to add the two together).

  Windows displays this warning when it is connected:

  Display applied lower setting port

  "The system has detected a problem with the connection between your computer and the DisplayPort monitor that prevents you to use higher resolutions and/or refresh rate."

  The monitor shows a black screen and is configured with a miniDisplayPort as input Source.

  If I try to bring up the OSD message is displayed:

  "There is no signal from your computer. Press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse to wake him up. If there is no display, place the monitor button now to select the correct input in the on-screen Display menu source. »

  I wasn't able to do a reset to the factory via the OSD settings, but I managed to turn on/off the setting of DisplayPort 1.2 (based on immobilized the Menu for 8 seconds). I tried with both enabled and disabled for the same result.

  Thanks for the answer by Chris,

  That moment everything works, I'm a little hesitant to restart in case something goes wrong again, but for now, everything is good.

  In the end, I did the following:

  * Update the BIOS

  * Set up the BIOS to disable switchable graphics (which means AMD card is used)

  * Updated AMD drivers

  * Uninstalled Dell Monitor driver

  * Plugged the monitors of the docking station, and then ran the driver monitor DELL software - it detected two monitors and installed the software.

  * The things still are not 100% with the questionable monitor - but I changed the parameters of DisplayPort 1.2 and its working now. (If I got to the "display settings" OSD display display Port 1.2 > disable).

  I put the laptop to sleep all night and he works up and all the monitors turned on (yay), but I am yet to perform a reboot since I have things to work.

  I'll close this issue even if things work out right now. Thanks for the suggestions (such as various tests I did based on your suggestions led me through the steps above to make it work).

• Inspiron M5030 black screen at startup

  As the topic says, when I boot my dell Inspiron M5030, I just get a black screen, no beep and yes I have connected externally on a monitor without success. It was working fine a few days ago, I stopped and went to bed, got up the next day and it started. The power led lights up, the HARD drive light turns on and blinks so I know that something is written or read from the HARD disk, but I don't get the POST screen that says DELL or anything... Just a white screen. I would say that is the back light but the screen has a white tint to it and to my knowledge it is the backlight on the screen.

  I checked the RAM, HARD drive, etc. Check that it has been placed correctly yet.
  I removed the MOBO battery hoping to reset the CMOS to maybe get a kind of screen, but this resulted in the 'time Off system' (5 beeps) beeps but they stopped after a reboot.

  What I ended up doing was remove the heatsink from the CPU and video chip and they had as a rubber stamp on that foam.  I removed that and put thermal paste and it works fine.  Sometimes if I use it everyday the screen may start off dead zone but up to now no more beeps at startup.  If you do what I suggested before it won't hurt her, but I recommend to do what I explained in this post, after get you to the top and running.  I would like to know how it works.

• Strange black screen problem Inspiron 1526

  Dell Inspiron 1526 - Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) - Service Pack 2 (problem started all with SP1) - AMD Turion (TM) 64 X 2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz - ATI Radeon X 1200 Series

  This is probably the strangest problem that I've never seen or heard of.  I've owned this phone for about a year and a half without any problem, then one day, I decided to put my computer into sleep mode by closing the lid (I've done several times before without problem.).  When I lifted the lid, the computer woke up, but the screen refused to show.  Thinking it was an easily solvable problem, I restarted the computer.  The computer turned on, but the screen was black.  After having turned the computer works enough times (probably 20), finally displayed screen and the error message say 'RTC Mode Fixed.  Date and time can be wrong. "I couldn't help but think"What the... ". "I ran into my share of issues of computer before, but nothing as weird as this.

  Assuming that everything was fine, I let the computer start normally and shortly after the BIOS, the computer screen suddenly turns off.  The only way I could get the boot sequence to pass the BIOS screen and start normally, I had to remove all the devices (including the power cord.)  After the computer has finally loaded completely, I was able to function normally.  Almost every time that I cut it however, the black screen problem happen again.

  A solution will be greatly appreciated.

  If you still experience the problem, or if you arrived after doing a search for the same problem with your Inspiron1526 (or other). The solution is to replace the CMOS battery. There was some problems with the connector of the screen becomes loose, but if reinstalling the display connector does not solve your problem, then the battery is dead.  The Mitsubishi CR2032 batteries from CHINA are down less than 1.5 volts in only 1-2 years. Looking at the battery that looks like they're a cheap copy of bootleg and probably not at all Mitsubishi. They all have the "Made In CHINA" stamp on the bottom edge. Unfortunately to get to the CMOS battery, you will need to disassemble the laptop computer entire almost to have access, but by replacing the bad battery with a reputable CR2032 3 v battery will solve the problem. After the first reboot, you need to give time for the BIOS to reconfigure and you need to reset the time system and date but the laptop will resume its normal operation after that.

  Unfortunately many calls to Dell technical service gave no help to this problem either. Technicians have even claimed to have no knowledge of what the CAPS and the blinking NUM LOCK lights meant. If you are lucky, you may be able to restart a couple times before the laptop doesn't start is not at all, but the time system must be reset - if this happened to you, it's a dead giveaway that the CMOS battery is about to fail. Once you hear the voltage of the battery drops to initial power engage readers and the fan will run for a few moments and then the unit will completely disable. Nothing appears on the screen.

• My Dell 9400 Inspiron computer laptop under Win. 8.1 boots to a black screen.

  My Dell 9400 Inspiron computer laptop under Win. 8.1 boots to a black screen. I have to press the power button 2-3 times before it will start to the lock screen, so I can connect.

  What can I do to fix this?

  Karen Osborn

  Hi Karen,.

  For a better understanding of the issue, I would need more information on your side.

  1. Do you have an error message when you start the computer?
  2. Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?

  This problem might have occurred because of these reasons:

  1. due to conflicts between external devices.

  2. due to conflicts between the third-party applications.

  Try the steps listed here and see if it helps:

  Method 1:
  I suggest to unplug all external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard. Check if it helps.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you to download and install all Windows updates available including the optional updates and check if it helps. You can also download and install the latest device drivers for all devices on the computer and check if it helps.

  Method 3:
  If the problem persists, I suggest to start the computer using safe mode and check if the problem occurs or not. If this isn't the case, the value of the computer in a clean boot state and check if that helps.

  Step 1:
  I suggest you to return the item to start the computer in Mode safe.

  Start settings for Windows (including safe mode)

  Step 2:
  If the issue happen not in Mode without failure, perform a clean boot and check.

  Setting the system in a clean boot state will help you determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows

  Note: After the clean boot troubleshooting steps, see the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.
