When I powered it on again, the power light came on and the activity light stayed on for about 2 seconds and went off. Also during that time the cd drive light blinked twice. No cd were inside it. The screen stayed off (not even the backlight). Then there was nothing. Tried a few button strokes on the wireless keyboard, but nothing happened.

My windows 8.1 audio driver already had some glitches after I installed the google hangouts Chrome app.

Can anyone tell me what could have gone wrong?

I can dissassemble the whole laptop. I've done it 6 mnths ago to change the hdd and to clean up the dirt.

“Alert! The AC power adapter wattage and type cannot be determined. The battery may not charge. The system will adjust the performance to match the power available.

Note: This warning can be disabled in BIOS setup.”

I have gone to BIOS setup multiple times and it still comes up. My battery no longer charges, but my computer says it’s healthy. My computer is also running very slow, which is annoying. What else can I do in the BIOS setup to fix this problem and make so that my performance isn’t hindered?

I have a Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 Laptop. I'm getting the seven beeps upon turning it on. However, sometimes it turns on and runs normally.

I've replaced the thermal compound and still am experiencing the same problems. I also removed the BIOS battery and reinstalled it.

When it starts normally that I can access the diagnostics, everything comes back fine.

I'm stumped as to what to try next, since I'm not sure what the problem is exactly.

Any suggestions/help? Thanks!

I'd bought a Dell's AMD version of inspiron 15r laptop about 3 years ago.

I have been experiencing a very annoying and frustrating problem since last few months.

While I was doing some work on it,

the screen went black all of a sudden.

It happened once few hours prior to then, and force rebooting had solved the problem at that time, so I calmed myself and did a force reboot.

But it didn't solve the problem this time.

I tried rebooting 3,4 times, but still no solution.

The screen was black even in the entire process of booting from the beginning.

I also found out that the screen wasn't totally black.

The screen had shown very mere display which was like 0.001% away from perfect dark black.I did as much research as I can for solution, but I couldn't get any good answer..

I couldn't solve it for several hours.

Several hours passed , and I tried booting it up again.

For few minutes, it seemed to be the same old black (or dark) screen.

But it automatically turned back to normal brightness again.

I haven't done anything to it.

Every now and then after working just fine for an hour or so, the screen goes black. The sound and all is clearly audible if a video or audio is playing but there is no display on the screen.

I'm wondering why this is happening..

Can anyone give me an answer to this?

Is it a problem of loosened cable connection to the screen or it is with motherboard or LCD Screen itself ???

Real Time Clock Error,

System CMOS checksum bad

Time-of-day not set - please run setup program

The light will also flash orange 3 times pause white 1 time. The computer functions normally with lighter software. I replacing the CMOS battery with a CR2032 I ordered online, the CMOS battery needs to be connected with wires, and I thought it would be easier than trying to connect wires to a CMOS battery. This didn’t fix the issue.

What would be the best course of action to take? Is it likely the battery I ordered was bad/ not compatible or is it another part?

I have a Dell Inspiron 15-5558, which I've owned for a few years now with no issues. About a month or so ago, the laptop began going into automatic repair mode, followed by a blank screen that proceeds to nothing else. I ran the diagnostic tool, which yielded one error in relation to my laptop charger. I just got a replacement, but the issue still persists. I tried booking in legacy with secure boot off, which only seems to net a small amount of progress. With secure boot off, the laptop boots past the Dell logo, then proceeds to show the Windows logo with the loading dots near the bottom of the screen. Afterwards, it also goes to a blank/black screen with nothing else following.

At this point, I'm not entirely sure what could be the issue, I've seen it around the web, perhaps it has something to do with the OS? I ran the diagnostic tool over again, and this time the only error I got was in relation to my battery, which stated that my battery is nearing the end of it's operational life. Could it be possible for the battery to cause this boot issue, or does it pertain to something else?

I even tried booting the laptop with the battery removed, but for some reason, that tells me that there's no boot device installed. I guess it's some sort of safety feature? Can't boot the laptop while it's only powered by the charger?

At this point, I honestly do not know what the issue is, and any answers are greatly appreciated, I've reached my wits end.

Kind regards!
