Vista Home Premium 32 bit on Dell Inspiron 530 will not start.

Black screen flashing in the top left cursor.  Reference Dell say Windows software problem.   The drives C and D OK.   Is it possible to somehow start?

Passed all Tests OK.
Very grateful for any suggestion.

Sylvia,

Use the Windows recovery environment to be able to make repairs. Here's HOW
The guide above is for Windows 7, but it is the same for Windows Vista. You can use the system restore or startup repair in WinRE.

    Four "beeps", could indicate a memory problem, if you are comfortable working inside the computer, try to open the case, remove and reinstall all memory modules and see if that makes a difference.

    If you not comfortable working with the removal and the reinstallation of the components, then I suggest that you take the Inspiron 530 to a repairman.

    Is the power button LED, blue constant or flashing blue?

    Every change made to the 530 recently?

  • Dell Inspiron 17R will not start

    Hey,.

    My Dell Inspiron 17R laptop 5720 was working fine until today, she won't start now. I had a virus, but Avira seemed to clean it properly, so I thought everything is ok now, but after restarting my laptop I didn't even have the "Dell" screen more. I've been Googling this topic for hours, but no one seems to have this kind of problem. Most of the users get stuck after the POST screen, but I don't yet get there. I just press the power button and that's it - laptop starts, but doesn't show anything. 1 out of 10 times, I managed to start and it works perfectly, even restart Windows it works then, but once disable us it probably will start again for the next 7-8 attempts.

    Things I've tried:

    -Remove the battery, hold the power button / stop for 60 seconds

    -In the course of running Dell Diagnostics (regular and thorough mode) test - it detects no error

    -Commissioning with or without battery

    -Flashing of BIOS (A14)

    -Reinstalling Windows, even tried Linux

    -Remove the strips of memory, trying to start with one stick (I had 2 x 4 GB) - will not change anything

    It looks like a problem that does occur from time to time. It is a hardware or a software problem? Is there anything else I should try before sending it for repair?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi randomthings,

    I appreciate for all stages of misjudged shootings.

    I recommend you to disconnect all external devices. Turn on the system and check if there are codes of beeps at startup.

    Given that the system turns after several attempts, it may be due to poor nutrition or inadequate food, bad drive HARD or other hardware problem.

    A poor, distressed or inadequate diet is often the cause of this problem. If the hard disk does not have enough power during the first time the computer starts, it will not be able to spin the platters of hard drive fast enough to start the computer. However, if you restart the computer, two, three, or four times, because the platters spin already, he is able to get the drive to speed and able to boot from the disc. Try with an AC adapter / CC known good and control; If the problem continues, I suspect it is a HDD failure.

    Please, remove the HARD drive and turn on the system and check the status.

    Please find the manual for Inspiron 5720 in the following link:

  • Door drive DVD/CD of Dell Inspiron 530 will not be closed

    I was in the middle of installation 3 disks of a game, when on the open disc 3, the door kept popping back.  Thought it was a bad drive maybe, so I tried another disc, same problem.  haven't tried any disc, same problem.  I restarted, in the remake, he closed the door, but then reopened it upward once in operation.  It will not be closed the door.  I have to take out them and put it back in or is it turned and I need a new?  It came OEM with the machine, says he works correctly in Device Manager.  in properties, he says that's DVD + RW DH 16 - W15 aPBDS.  If I need a new, where I can go to the web to find what I need?

    Thank you.

    Hey well, good news! Before I decided to replace it, I thought that 'let me play with him' and open the computer and tried to get out.  Well, I got all the cancelled screws and plugs disconnected, but I couldn't drag him completely out of the slot, I tried several times without success.  He would slide approximately 1/2 in. and then stop.  So I gave up, he slipped into place, screwed it back in, plugged everything back in and voila, it works!  I don't know what was going on.  There was a strip of clear band they put on the machines when they send their, a thin strip through the logo Dell Isnpiron on top of the drive with a shot to the back corner, maybe the edge of the door that was contagious?  I pulled it off.  No matter what.  It works, thank the Lord.  But out of curiosity, how one removes this player?  I couldn't go out for the life of me.

  • Windows VISTA Home Prem on DELL Inspiron 1521 will not start

    Read the message below. It has been copied from another thread and the poster has been informed to start a new thread with his question. What is ironic, is that I have exactly the same problem on my Dell.

    After downloading some updates to Vista my Dell desktop computer restarted and tried to load step 3 updates, it moves very quickly from 0% to 100% and then restarts, only to go back into the same loop of trying to set up step 3 and restart.

    I tried the following, starting in safe mode, same results updates are trying to configure.

    Auto repair, I am told by a message, it cannot be repaired.

    System Restore, I have only 2 system shown to restore points and they are at the time of the upgrade, if I try these points to restore I get an error message.

    I tried to reboot from the original installation provided CD but all I get is 'windows is copying files', then a black screen.

    I tried the boot iso but neosoft option again to the message windows is to copy the files, and then the black screen.

    I'm in thr stage where I can not think of anything else other that to go to a data recovery specialist, to recover the files most important (have over 200 GB of various things on the hard disk) and then reset to factory settings and load data and try and find the sources of all the programs that I had. It looks like an enormous task and it is the main computer for my business. If a kind soul has suggestions as to how I can get this situation somehow, I would be eternally grateful.

    Thanks in advance

    I'm fairly warned to get to a point to get my data before a complete reconstruction, however, I give that easy. Anyone else having this problem. I'd really like to find a way to solve.

  • My Dell Inspiron 530 will not light

    The computer has been like that for a while now. When I have the power cable connected to the back of the computer the Green underside is on so I don't know if it means that something is supposed to happen. When I opened the computer there is a yellow light as well. But when I hit the power button to turn on nothing happens, fans did not move at all. And if I remember when I opened the computer there was a few stray wires disconnected, I tried for about 10 minutes around the motherboard to find that these cards could go on. I have found none. I followed a cord in the back and he went into the motherboard and fan and another went in a box (where the power cord goes into the back). These cords may not be connected when the computer still worked well, I'm not entirely sure about this. I don't have a lot of money to replace the points and I did well in computer science and more telling me instructions on what to do.

    peterfaix

    Absolutely nothing happens when I press the power button. The yellow light on the motherboard is immediately, without flashing what so ever. And when I said the green light is the I meant right where you plug in the power cord. It's on and stays green as well. No flicker.

    peterfaix
        
    As the power light button does not lite, better to replace the power supply first, as you need a diet 'known' work to check the system and motherboard.

    As you have a mini-tower 530 standard ATX power supply units can be installed, with a 24-pin or 20 + power connector 4-pin main motherboard, with or without the on/off switch.

    You should be able to buy a compatible power supply either a local computer or online store.

    Note: A power supply with four SATA power connectors, is necessary.

    Power supply replacement procedures are here:

  • Dell Inspiron 17 - will not start - get hard disk clicking noise

    I am able to boot up the laptop to the BIOS (F2) and the laptop passes all diagnostics - I upgraded from Windows 8 to 10 Windows about 6 months ago and everything has been great to work - no problem at all.  Then a month ago started the problem of loud noise clicking.

    Here is my problem laptop > I start pressing the power on button - I can hear the fan start - power and the drive light - but one or two seconds later, the drive LED turns off and it's the disk hard clicking noise starts.  I have to then press and hold the power button until the laptop stops.  I can hear the stop of the fan and Park disk heads - then all the lights will turn off.  Then I have to start this process all over again [sometimes more than 8 to 10 times] until the laptop finally gets up and allows me to connect.

    Nobody knows what will fix this problem?

    Hi FAYEDC,

  • Can I use the existing Windows vista ultimate 32-bit (real) key to do a fresh install (due to errors of unrecognized class) win vista home premium 32 bit (original cd)?

    Inspiron Dell 1720 2.2 GHz, 2 GB ram, Win Vista ultimate SP2.

    Cannot install all programs currently due to errors of windows install. I have tried scannow in cmd which seems to close automatically in less than a second to click on enter.
    I tried switching win installer services then in manual and automatic ('start' ed) with no ruling change ever to the problem. So now since I can't possibly find another solution, I'm doing a new installation of windows vista Home premium 32-bit which I did not have the keys. So the query. I would appreciate any comment how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

    Look at the product key shown on the label on the computer.  Which edition of Windows is on the label?  If the label says Home Premium Home Premium dvd is likely a recovery disk only.  So if there is a recovery disk, so it can reinstall a new copy of Home Premium and all reset the status of the plant.  You will lose your programs and data.

    If the Premium family edition dvd is a dvd retail then you may be able to do a repair on-site modernization (aka ' install fix') of Vista Ultimate with it, but please answer these questions first.
