Power light / hard drive/battery Inspiron 5759 does not?

Bought this computer from my wife for Christmas.  Apparently, Dell has combined the power of disk hard/light activity indicator / and the battery status light in a unique light on the front edge of the computer.  My concern is that the only light briefly when I plug into the power supply first, then it turns off and on again never.  Even when the hard drive is written or the bedside lamp lights to show activity.  Is this normal?  I am concerned that this is a way that I used to determine if things happen on my computer as it should.  If the light is not designed to show the disk activity hard when it occurs, what is it?

If you have not found the answer to your question, so this should help you.

Press and hold 'Fn' which lies between the Ctrl and Windows Key, then press the 'H' button  This action will be necessary every time that you restart the computer.

    How to reset memory NVRAM (or LANDAU)

    If your Mac does not start properly or one of the functions listed in the previous section is strange, you can perform a simple reset of your Mace NVRAM or PRAM. Your Mace NVRAM or PRAM reset Resets the data stored on its default setting. (Note: as always, we strongly recommend having a full backup of your important data before troubleshooting your Mac.)

    (2) (2) tourner turn on your Mac, and when you hear the ringtone to start, immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. (Note: you can use a wired keyboard to reset).

    (3) holding the keys until the Mac restarts and you hear the startup chime for the second time, and then release the keys.

    After resetting the NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure some of your settings of Mace. If you're still having problems with your Mac, you may want to consider resetting the SMC.

    What is SMC?

    On Macs with Intel processors, SMC is system management controller. The SMC chip controls your function of sleep Mace, various lights and indicators, speed of the fan and keyboard backlight power among other things. So if your fan Mace is out of whack, lights are misconduct, he answer correctly when the lid is closed, or the Mac not turn on at all, you might want to reset the SMC. (Note: again, be sure to have a full backup of your important data before resetting the SMC)

  • HP 6450 b HARD drive in secondary Bay does not work

    I bought a HARD drive caddy to mount a drive to expand on my HP 6450 b (Win 10) using the connection of SATA DVD ROM.

    First with SO HARD drive is a WD 250 GB SATA 2 3 GB/s.

    I see my product spec TEC and I chose a HARD Seagate 500 GB SATA 3 6 Gbps drive to put in the caddy as a secondary HARD drive.

    I mounted the caddy with the new HARD drive, but it does not work: initially, the portable green light turn on, but does not Society. Without any error message, after a few seconds the led become yellow and green for some time and after that the PC turns off.

    When I put off the caddy with the secondary HARD disk, the OS starts correctly.

    I read similar posts in the forum and I have:

    (1) check the option in the BIOS to activate the secondary HARD drive is active (in FACT, it is enable)

    (2) turn off the launch of the er disk HARD secondary (DONE)

    (3) test on the HARD drive (in FACT, it's OK)

    I tried to set up in BIOS the SATA 3 GB/s speed, but I can't find the option. I see that someone has done this action.

    That would be the problem?

    I also think that could be a problem with drivers to support the new secondary HARD drive, but I don't know how to do.

    Is there someone who could help me?

    Thank you

    I would also come to this conclusion. Request a RMA number for that one and find another brand.

  • Satellite M70 - after HARD drive partitioned, the OS does not start

    Hello

    Good then this is a real doozy, and I hope that someone will help.

    I started to fix my satellite m70 girlfriends using the disc of recovery etc, everything went fantastic, the HARD disk has been erased and Windows + all software has been reinstalled.

    Then I thought it would be a good idea to use partition magic to partition the hard drive, so I chose the main hard drive and cut 10GB of it to put in place a new partition.

    I rebooted, and then after Windows restarted again completed.

    NOW, it does not charge, it says no operating system, so I tried to start with the recovery disk and all over again...

    If I click on continue (to start the recovery process), however it is said now that the "Error #1828", free space is too small.

    I'm really angry that this has happened and I just want to start over again.

    Can someone help me with this?
    I can't access the Bios either (not sure if that might help), because I don't know the password (must be a fault im not aware of).

    Help, please.

    Thank you
    SG

    I think that this is the reason why you used a tool to change the size of the partition. At best, this should be done before you install Windows and 10 GB is a little too small for Windows. You must use at least 15-20 GB for the first partition where the BONE is placed.

    To resolve this problem, you must delete all existing partitions before using the recovery disk. Therefore, you can use a Windows XP disk or something else. Just boot from it and delete all partitions. Then the recovery disk should work.

    Hi Adnot

     

    Method 1:

    I suggest to connect the hard drive, then try to run the security analysis. You may need to disable all autorun feature, if you use the drive. Then, try to perform security analysis and check if you have any viruses or malware present.
    See the link below for the analysis and verification.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Method 2:

    You can also perform a clean boot and check if you can open the hard disk properly. To perform the clean boot follow step 1 mentioned in the article below, and then try again check in the clean boot state -

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If the problem is resolved check which service non-Microsoft is the source of the problem; referring to article and following the other steps.
    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post on problems to do a restore by using the disks and wanted to help.

    I know this may sound weird, but at the time of Win7, I would have problems installation or upgrade of PC, if there is too much memory system.  So, what I would say, it's to put the old memory and see if that makes a difference.  I know it shouldn't, but it could.

    Good luck

  • Second hard drive Dell Inspiron 3847

    Can someone direct me for information on the installation of a second hard drive for Inspiron 3847 computer for the purpose of the image upwards using the Acronis True Image Home software upward? There is room for an optical drive, which is totally alien to me, but nothing is said nowhere in the hardware in the user manual on the addition of second hard drive that seems to be a pretty normal material adding. No sense in this matter. First time forum thank you poster

    toplap

    Dell has not released the procedures to install an additional SATA hard drive, the Inspiron 3847 has a 3.5 Bay ", one for the second hard drive next to the main hard drive, there should be a set of rails located in the Bay, two 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws are required to secure the Rails.

    Procedures on pages 26 to 28 of the owners manual should give you an idea of what is required for installation.

    http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-3847-desktop_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.PDF

    You will need a SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

    After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.

    For Windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted.

    Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.
