Windows boot problem - when turned on, Windows proceeds immediately to "turn off".

When running, Windows will immediately ' off '.  Have tried holding F8, which causes a sound alarm for a few seconds, then goes to "turn off".  Laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1520, is 2.5 years.

You have a hardware problem-maybe the power adapter or battery, any number of other things.  You have to take the laptop to a repair shop of computer with a good reputation for service (or send it to Dell for service according to costs, guarantees, delays and other factors - it's your decision to make - unless it is still under warranty then definitely contact Dell).

Sorry, we can't help you, but it must quite clearly an expert computer repair technician to diagnose, repair or replace if necessary.

Good luck!

    Hi aloum,.

    (a) what kind of mouse you are using?

    (b) the left button of the mouse seems to be stuck or it does not meet the click? This only happens with certain applications?

    Step 1: Test the mouse on another computer or another mouse on the test computer

    To determine whether the mouse or the computer is defective, follow these steps:

    1. test the mouse in question on a system that works, you know. If the problem appears to follow the mouse, you may need to return or replace the mouse.

    2 test a mouse you know is working on the computer in question. If the problem seems to stay on the computer, then the problem is most likely related to the software.

    In regard to the battery not holding charge

    Battery problems are often associated with the battery itself. If you encounter this problem, contact your mobile PC manufacturer. If you purchased the battery separately from the notebook computer, contact the manufacturer of the battery.

    Now, I have a smart phone and wanted to restore the facility. However, I can't find the option to activate the settings.

    Please note that I have activated all 3 BIOS options and 'refreshed' the machine to the default state.

    Please note that charges USB port when the system is started and stopped when I stopped the load PC.

    But no luck. Ask for your help on the same.

    Thank you

    My phone was usually charge of the last USB port on the left side of the E-520, while I was working on the computer.

    at least, the satellite logo lights up red annymore.

    Thank you

    Hello

    According to your description, the battery provides the laptop with power.
    In my opinion there is problem with the battery itself or electronic supply on the motherboard.
    I think that it of a failure of battery, but to be 100% sure that the audit of the books is necessary!

    The X 200 is a new series of laptop so I'm 100% sure that the guarantee is valid. Am I wrong?

    If you shouldn't t waste time and contact the service provider authorized in your country.
    The guys of the explain your situation and ask for later handling.

    Each cheque replacement and part is done for free!

  • Why do Satellite A100 screen flashes when turned off?

    Hello
    I have a toshiba A100, Go 7600 Gpu, just bought there is two weeks and im very pleased with the quality and performance far :), just noticed one thing today, the room was turned off and the laptop turns off with the screen in open position, I leave it open normally when at home, I noticed that the screen flashes as fixed every 1 min in what appears to be an interval of time with or without AC connected, not a flash very bright but not easy to notice, but I'm sure the flash, so my question is should I worry about this? Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    What do you mean with the screen? The LCD internal? Maybe you didn t stop the machine itself.

    I also suggest you update your bios and your drivers, maybe it s just a software related issue...

    Here´s a link to find the bios and latest drivers for your computer:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Bold only charges when turned off

    Hi all

    I have a BB "BOLD" for a few weeks now.  When I plug it into the charger, it does not seem to load when the device is on.  The loading symbol appears in the upper left corner, but if I unplug the device after a period of time, the battery status symbol doesn't seem like the unit is charged.  In addition, the light yellow of load not flach when plugged in when turned on.

    When I switch off the unit and plug it in, I get the charging flashing yellow light and accusations of pretty good device.

    I also tried it with the device is plugged into the USB port on my laptop (I have DeskTop Manager 4.7), and it does not seem to load there either, although I have not tried to load from the PC the unit is turned off.

    It is a real problem, as very often, I want to load the device then turned, while I do miss phone calls and emails.

    Thank you.

    Adam

    The battery on the top icon left not enough resolution to be used for something other than a general indication of charge level.

    Go to Options, State to see the level of charge of the battery percentage.

    When I have my camera on during loading, I do not see the battery flashing yellow light. In fact, I didn't "BOLD" had one of these!

    In any case, see if the percentage level changes during loading with the appliance on.

  • Menu error when turn off the DVD (CS4)

    Hello Adobe community

    I recently created a DVD in Adobe Encore CS4. It has two menus. The menu title has two buttons: Play driver (which connects to a minute 25 TV pilot) and Extras (which connects to a root menu). The menu root contains three music videos (which all the link to the main menu) and a main menu button (which has links from the menu title). I burned the Encore DVD and it played on my DVD player at home. Everything on the DVD works great (menus and videos). However, when I am on the title menu, and I turned off the DVD drive and turn it back on (with the disk still inside) something strange is happening. The menu suddenly compressed horizontally, and the buttons no longer work. Play, up, down, enter, none of the remote controls work more. The only way I can get the DVD works again is to insert a DVD completely different summer and then insert again my DVD. Then he is back to normal.

    I included two photos to illustrate what is happening.

    The DVD is in 16:9 mode, however the TV I watch on 4:3.

    IT IS WHAT THE MENU TITLE LOOKS LIKE WHEN I INSERT FIRST THE DVD: ALL THE WORK OF BUTTONS/LINKS/NAVIGATION... EVERYTHING IS GOOD.

    menu.JPG

    WHEN YOU TURN ON THE DVD MARKET AGAIN (AT THIS POINT), THE MENU BECOMES SQUASHED HORIZONTALLY. DISAPPEARS FROM THE BOXING OF THE LETTER UP AND DOWN, AND NOW NONE OF THE BUTTONS.

    menu-squashed.JPG

    Interestingly, when I go to the menu root (by clicking the Options button) and turn on the DVD player and turn on, the main menu is not affected, and all the buttons still work. The menu root is almost identical in design in the menu title, because it has exactly the same video in the background and audio playback on top. However, this problem occurs only in the menu title. Also, if I turn the DVD player working again while in the middle of watching one of the videos on the DVD, it still works very well. This problem occurs only in the menu title.

    The video in the menu title (and the menu root) is linked dynamically to Premiere CS4.

    Here is a picture of the organizational structure of the dvd:

    The DVD player is a Tevion AC-DVD51 (Jpeg/Mpeg4 Player)

    I have not included specifications on individual video files on the DVD, because they all work perfectly. It's just the menu title that plays up.

    If you want to get the list of additional parameters. Let me know.

    I really want to solve this problem, because I will be the sale of the DVD and I don't want this glitch happening on something, people have paid for.

    Thanks a lot for your time!

    @lagrit1023 ,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  What you have going on here, it's a problem with the regulation of power on the motherboard or a problem with not enough amps from the power supply.

    Can you try feeding on a laptop or have a place that you can take to check?

    The only other way to check if you have already made the checks of the battery and so on is getting the system sent repair.  To do this, you will need to contact the HP support by phone.
