Old Inspiron 537 no power issue

I have an old Inspiron 537 desktop. A few months ago, we briefly a storm and lost power. Since that time Ive had a problem with the power. If the computer is disabled for some reason any not on again with unplugging at least a little. We had another storm this past week and same thing left power down low but does not entirely however leave the computer turned off. I now cant get it to power all no matter what I do. Im hoping to get some help to understand what's goin'.

I guess that there are no beeps.

Try the following, if you are comfortable working around computers:

Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.

Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 24-pin motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, reconnect the power cord and the power of the system, so supply, case fans and disk hard drive run, then the power supply should be good.

Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

Excerpt from power supply, again, unplug the power cord, hold the power button again for 15/20 seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 24 pin to the motherboard.

Remove all the computer PCI cards, remove the video card [as appropriate], disconnect all devices, except the monitor, mouse and keyboard and unplug cable power & data of all readers.

Reconnect the power cord and power the system on, see if you get a different indication of the LED on the power button / stop, or 'beeps '.

No difference, remove the system memory and try again.

Still shows no signs of life while looking at a motherboard replacement & maybe a processor.

Note: The good news is, processors lack rarely, being the only method I know to check a processor, install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

  • New Dell Ultrasharp U2417H old Inspiron 580 MT desktop computer monitor

    My new monitor has arrived today, but I can't connect it with the included cables. My old Inspiron 580 was purchased in 2010 and my old monitor used the plug VGA.

    The cables provided with the new monitor are the upstream USB 3.0 cable and a DP for CDM cable. It doesn't seem to be a taking of CDM on my desk then, how can I connect the monitor?

    My first question to the seller Dell was "this new monitor would be compatible with my old desktop Inspiron 580, that is, about connectivity?"  He said yes, he would.

    Any help would be much appreciated - but not too technical if you please.

  • Recommendation of the graphics card for Inspiron 537

    So sorry to bother you, but I was not able to reach my people in service at Dell. As indicated, I own an Inspiron 537 desktop computer. It came with an Intel processor, which, I understand that Intel, was published by Dell before my purchase. It is for this reason that they honour not any guarantees, etc..  Anyway, I need a new graphics card, a strong enough for me to run Cinema 4 d (currently Cup when I go on several screens), and not too much that it would burn my disc.

    Thank you for your help in this matter.

    I agree on the HD 6670 being on the best choice, but make sure that you get with memory DDR5, DDR3... it will make the difference in speed of 3D rendering.  example: www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

  • added the second HD for Inspiron 537

    Just tried to add a second HD to my Inspiron 537 PC, I used the disk sata cable connection cable to connect readers, but after restarting the system, the new HD is not recognized. The new HD is a 2 TB WD Black HD. How can I get that second drive is recognized, it is not any more sata ports on the motherboard that the HD can settle in. Can do a second HD using the link of Garland?

    Please advise,

    I will consult the Board of Directors, but you can email me at [ADMIN NOTE: Email deleted in accordance with the TOU strategy identification]

    No, the SATA drives may not be 'Garland' like IDE drives, you can only connect a player to each SATA cable/connector.

    The 537 seems to have only 2 x SATA connectors on the motherboard, for 2 x SATA drives.

    For additional SATA drives, you could install a PCI SATA Controller card, similar to this:

  • Inspiron 537 s - must I now buy an external DVD drive?

    Hello

    We have upgraded this s Inspiron 537 desktop computer to windows 10. It fitted perfectly and works great, BUT the DVD drive is no longer recognized or find anywhere within windows 10 [in 'My Computer', or the Device Manager]. However, it appears in the BIOS. The drive is a Hitachi HL GH50N. It worked perfectly with the upgrade to Windows 7.

    Weeks become months soon and we have tried everything we can find. This includes editing the registry of Microsoft [in EnumDevice1, change, type 1 in the value data box]. Made no difference. Went to Dell and downloaded the update of the firmware for this GH50N drive several times [5], but the file will never open, or enter the run mode using any & all the programs in this PC. The only one who tries to open it is Windows image viewer, but it just sits in the mode of loading forever. We have also disconnected the cables of the drive, rebooted, then plugged in. Did not help of course. We can hear the drive spin upward and work very well.

    If after all this, might be easier for us to buy a car cheap external usb DVD so that we can turn a casual program disc when you need? We get ' Las [:-(

    Thanks a lot for all the help you can be. You care.

    Sounds like the DVD player has not, better to replace it, you can install another internal DVD drive, or use an external USB drive, your choice.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 21 G: abandon WLan connection / power issue

    I bought my laptop about six weeks ago and its driving me crazy. I could be sitting with him and suddenly I lose the internet connection, I try to reconnect, but cannot as he seems to have "abandoned" the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter. I'm not very irritable but sees someone else has had this problem and follow a few instructions to restore the previous driver for the network adapter, but it just made things worse.

    In addition, I can never turn my laptop. If I choose the "shut down" option then it turns off, but there is always a light flashing around the power button. I heard he's going a few hybrid sleep, but I had instructions to stop this, but again its happening. I can't just press the power button to restart the laptop it restarts with the loss of the network adapter (see above), so I sit in pressing and holding the button several times until it restarts finally with the back working network adapter.

    If I just stopped the lid (as I applied this option overall upwards), then three hours I can just return, press a button and begin to work, however, once again, I can not because the network adapter is down and I have to then push and hold the power button (that choose shut down doesn't seem to work).

    This laptop was designed to replace an old ADVENT that caused me grief, but I'm done with nothing else than a box of junk that I want to throw. Worse yet, I'm not at all way techy am so not able to do what many of you can do to correct problems so I tried to find a phone number to call Toshiba and never get an option to type in what is my problem and then follow the online help that I tried and does not work! Y at - there someone who can give me a number for Toshiba that I can call for help if I need help more than anybody can give me here? Thank you.

    I have already answered in another thread with the similar question of Wlan and I guess it could be a related issue of energy saving:

    Reach:
    Windows power options - choose the right central - advanced power options.
    Search of the WLan card settings and set it to "best performance".
    You must also set the parameters for the PCI express for the 'best performance '.

    In addition, go to the Device Manager. Choose here the Wlan card properties
    Switch to the last tab called "Power Management" and make sure that the option available in this tab is not checked!

  • New/old Boot Up loud fan issue Aurora R4

    An old question that I didn't for a while is back for me.  Immediately at startup, my Office fans are blowing up like a Jet engine.  I was able to go in the Alienware command center and set it manual 40% and which works, but that does not take effect until near the end of the shoe top.

    The last time that this happened, it was a dell service that I had to disable, but it's been like 3 years so I don't remember what it was.  I ran starting diagnosis, epsa, and everything came back fine.  I uninstalled the Dell connect printer manager and other related services.  I unplugged and made a static drain with the power button.   Don't know what else to do.

    The only new thing that was installed last week were new NVidia drivers, but that was 4 days ago.

    Appreciate all the help if someone has a solution.  I've read several very old discussions saying to uninstall and reinstall the control center, but I can't find one that says he's working with Alienware Aurora R4 running Windows 10.

    You wanted to post once more on this. I had this problem, for me, this morning.

    (1) use Revo to uninstall control center

    (2) Made that I had downloaded the new command Center 3.6 above by Alex

    (3) stop

    (4) disconnected my mio map usb

    (5) power drained the system for 60 seconds

    (6) reconnected mio usb

    (7) system rebooted

    (8) went to start > Services and right clicked on the monitoring Services and set it to automatic and started it

    (8) click on the extractor of command center, DO NOT RUN the update of motor racing.  Just extract the files

    (9) go to where you have extracted the files and run setup.exe as administrator (right click and run as admin)

    (10) reset

    (11) fixed fans question

    I found a lot of this on different positions on the internet and I have no idea that you actually fixed my problem.  Therefore, I have all.  Some may be a waste of time, but hey, one or more of them fixed my issue :)

  • HP Z620 - Geforce 970 black screen of death - power issues?

    I have a 970 GF who requires a 8 pin and a pcie 6pin as the Z820 than 2x6pin supports, I used an adpater 6-> 8

    I read somewhere that the 6-pin HP Z620 will deliver more 150W then which is the rated power for a 8 pin

    now I have the problem that in some games that Black on my screen will start and I can still hear some sounds, but basically, I need to reset the PC then

    In these games it happens all of the time for example GTA V

    other games is very well

    I already found the problem and the solution

    Toshiba Satellite PRO A200 (model PSAE4E-00U004EN)
    OS Vista Business (not that get us here!)

    OK, here's the problem: battery led (blue), AC disconnected. Turn on (absolutely no hard disk activity)

    See attached picture + 30 seconds of video...

    Image = http://i37.tinypic.com/2lv00ow.jpg
    7 MB video = http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=294ns6r&s=4

    Here's what I tried...

    Removing the battery
    Remove and put back in place the two sticks of RAM
    Withdrawal of one of the sticks of RAM, a start in (and vice versa)
    Withdrawal of the DVD player
    Hold the power button for 20 seconds to evacuate the residule power, then plug back
    Holding the Fn key and pressing the power button
    Holding the 0 key and pressing the power button
    Still nothing...

    I hope you guys can help out me? Tomorrow I'm going to disassemble the laptop, maybe there is a blocked fan and this is a heat issue? or otherwise perhaps the power button is somehow disconnected?

    I downloaded and printed the disassembly instructions

    Please help me!

    Hello

    Looks like a serious problem.
    But for the first time, try this:

    -Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    -Wait about 20-30 min
    -Reconnect the two parts and try to turn on the laptop

    If it is not possible to power the laptop then the problem must be related to a serious hardware problem and only the ASP would be able to help you and to see what's exactly wrong with the machine.

  • Inspiron 3650 SATA power cable

    I want to add a new hard drive to my new Inspiron 3650. I have the sata cable, but looks like I need to buy a power cable. What I should buy and where can I get a? Thank you

    I had the same problem trying to get the secondary sata power cable to the sata 2.5 drives. In the first command, they sent me the primary sata power cable that has only a single sata power connection and a connection from dvd player. P/N = KC81G. The sales rep insisted it was the right cable.

    I called back and discuss it with another sales who has been able to help me. She said yes, there are 2 different reference numbers and the correct is P/N = GP2JM. Once I received it I installed it and it worked perfectly.

    The part costs $4.99 with free shipping.

    Oh, they have no photos to show what they look like.
