(Redirected) XPS 15 L501 does not start

I have a Dell XPS 15 bought L501 end 2010. Still in great shape & very little used. It was running OK, maybe a little hot when it comes to leave. When I plug in the kernel of the slight external battery power and inside battery indicator on the dashboard light up, but the two turns off when I press the power button. The blue light on the power cord.

Not exchanged the motherboard and processor with used ones I bought online - no change. Returned to original & delivered parts to the seller.

Replace the power supply with new - no change.

I am lost and don't know what to do next.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

As you have a laptop, better make this laptop in the computer Forum post here:

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?

  • Dell XPS One 2710 does not start - should I all reasonable options?

    A few weeks ago, my 18 - month, Dell XPS One 2710 has started to act up.  Still not start correctly.

    Ran the Dell diagnostics on their Web site.  Everything was fine - no detected hardware problem.

    Yesterday, the computer completely stopped working.  It would be start, after a sweep of drive long, finally on the desktop, but can hang after 10 minutes.  I'm on Windows 8 (not 8.1).

    Today, I thought I would do a system restore to a point a month ago.   But today I can not get a startup complete, impossible to get on the desktop.  Therefore, can't do a system restore.  Instead, I see this screen.

    I have the options to continue?   I don't have a recovery disk.

    You can install 8.1 on top of what you have by a 16 GB or more usb flash drive as a bootable recovery media.

    If it does not recognize the key to your Bios, you can use a generic key for install but not activate.

    All the pre installed 8.x are 64-bit so make sure you download the correct version.

  • 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 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.

    Phil

    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!

  • Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

    I apologize in advance for the long post...

    Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

    I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

    When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

    I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

    What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

    Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

    Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

    Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

    Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

    The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

    For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

    1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

    2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

    3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

    4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

    5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

    6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

    These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

    I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!

  • XPS 8700 - new mSata does not start unless...

    I had my 8700 for a little more than a year and from the beginning, I put a 256 gb 2.5 SSD and everything has been good... unfortunately I ran out of room so I'm a 512 GB mSata and installed with the normal hiccups (bios setting, etc.) and for the most part, it works fine... installed win7 - all my programs games, media and all that. Well, now that I have everything there I was trying to format the original 1 TB hdd which served the initial boot (later converted to my games drive) drive and it refuses to format 'windows cannot format the system disk partition' I went into the BIOS and noticed his 1st listed in the order of the boot sequence. OK... so I put the mSata as first on the boot sequence and people with other disabilities 2 boot sequence HARD drives... Unfortunately, after that it does not start, say no boot device available. I tried other settings and the only way I can get my OS to load is if I put it on AHCI - legacy - then set my empty 1 TB (manually remove games) under the 1st boot device and set my msata #2. I want to use the 1 TB in a different computer and I want all my available bays opened for larger storage players when I need... but most of all I want to solve it because he needs to solve... Someone has an idea what I am doing wrong? any help is appreciated.

    Specifications:

    XPS 8700

    I7-4770

    BIOS A10

    M550 crucial mSata

    OS was initially earn 8.1... I upgraded to win 7 home

    The boot sequence is dynamic, so it does not matter if change you it in the bios. Each listed item will be sought for the boot files according to what is currently installed. Because your startup files are not on the ssd, it will never start to this player. Windows must be installed on the ssd from scratch, so you lose everything and have to reinstall everything. If you have now works well, leave it alone and save yourself a lot of trouble. Startup files are still on the original drive.

  • XPS 8300 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?

    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.

  • Windows does not start - XPS 8300

    I have a XPS8300 (2010) who does not successfully start windows.  System Restore does not resolve the problem.  Especially when I try to start it, the HARD drive runs very fast, Windows does not start, the screen turns off, but the machine does not stop automatically.  A few times I was able to press F8 and load it to the ' last known good state ", but this does not work normally.  When it works (like now) the function of machine reasonably well and I can access the files.  So I think that the HARD drive may be OK.

    I ran the ePST - he tried repeatedly - and he never performs the test.  No error code.  The screen turns off and then sometimes it just hangs. But earlier it gave me a code of "beep".  It's "1 - 2 - 3.

    Tried to run the Dell diagnostic online, but it's pretty slow, I can't tell if it has "hooked", or if it is still ongoing.

    Would appreciate recommendation on next steps.

    A flaky power supply can cause these problems, and they are quite common.

  • Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

    My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
    Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

    Hello GoogleGuru,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
    Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
    Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

    If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

    Post back with the results.

    Thank you

  • Vista does not start, fails to Startup Repair indicating that the version of the operating system is incompatible with Startup Repair tool

    I use a laptop Dell XPS M1330, under Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. The laptop froze, I tried to do a system restore, which did not work. Now the laptop goes into startup each time put on repair. A message window appears saying "Startup Repair cannot repair the computer automatically. Startup Repair window says "Startup Repair could not detect a problem. Diagnostics details say: Root cause found: the operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair tool.

    I tried to use the Dell Factory Image Restore to restore the system, but it does not end. I get an error message instead. There is no details, it's just a small window with an X and the Word error.

    I also tried to use resettlement Dell DVD, but that doesn't seem to work either.

    Vista does not start at all, not in either safe mode.

    I just ran to the Dell Diagnostics tool, and that is to say that the integrity test of memory has failed... No idea how to solve this problem?

    I'm at a loss and helps woukld be appreciated.

    Hi James,

    Ø are you using the correct version of the Vista disc to run Startup Repair?

    I suggest to run the diagnostic tool memory WINRE mode and check if the memory (RAM) installed on the computer works fine.

    Follow the steps below to start the computer using the WINRE and run the memory diagnostic tool.

    A. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.

    B. restart your computer.

    C. Si you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

    D. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    E. click on repair your computer.

    F. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    G. in the menu system, SelectMemory diagnostic tool Recovery Options.

    Once scanning is complete, check to see if the problem is resolved.

    Access the link below to learn more about Windows recovery options in Windows Vista.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-know-if-my-computer-has-a-memory-problem

    If you have several sticks of RAM installed on the computer, you can try to remove one of the RAM stick and check if it works very well. Also, you try to exchange the RAM sticks and check if one of the RAM is originally this issue and if it needs to be replaced.

    Note: If you are not aware of the evolution and swaping the stick of RAM on the computer, it is best to contact the computer manufacturer for help on this and you can do it at your own risk.

    You can also contact Dell support and check if you need to replace any hardware.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.
