Problem for Dell Latitude C610 PC Notebook
Latitude C610 won't power up
By Phoebe - usenet poster
Hi folks,
Anyone come across this problem beforethis machine had been
pretty much sat in a cupboard since it was bought in 2002. Last week
my missus discovers it, brings it home and we start using it without a
problem.
Last night it slowed right down to a crawl and wouldn't even paint the
screen properly so we pulled the PSU and battery and now it won't
power up - pressing the power button makes all lights apart from the
battery light for about 5 seconds but then they go off again.
If I hold the windows key down when switching on it spins up the hard
drive and cooling fan but that's all. I have to pull the battery again
to make it go off.
Sound familiar to anyone?

I had this exact same issue with the same computer (dell c600). The
instructions provided (reseat the memory) worked. Problem solved.
However, it took 2 or three tries to get any result.
Thanks,

Hey Christopher,
Calm down a bit eh? Maybe it's my fault for not explaining my
background, but many years experience has taught me that if I ask a
group a question and tell people I'm field service I invariably get
either no response or remarks like 'why are you asking here when
clearly you should know'
Maybe you also missed the smileys in my last message?
Thanks for replying anyhow.

one 3.3V PC133 dimm is no more worse for a machine than an identically
specced component from another machine. I'm a fully trained
digital/compaq/hp field service tech so I know what I'm doing, but if
I come up against an unfamiliar bit of kit I'll ask questions first
before wading in and pulling things to bits :)
In this case we have a dead CPU, which is a bit annoying as I won't be
able to get another one till tuesday

I nicked the memory from the Missus' laptop where it's working quite
happily :) I'm now about to do a CPU swap and see where that gets me.

i wonder how you determine the replacement 'known good' memory module to be
good. i have seen memory issues with inspiron 4000/4100 and latitude
c600/610 where they demonstrate the symptom that you describe. oddly, these
machines with incompatible memory installed can boot with the ac adapter in
use but not when on battery only. seems likely that is your problem. of
course the system could have just died, it happens... but reseating
everything is a good idea (hard disk, processor, all removable drives,
battery), and keeping only the necessary, minimum number of components
connected also helps in troubleshooting. good luck.

I wondered about that but surely it wouldn't prevent the machine
powering up?

Ta for that Christopher, but I'd already tried that and swapped the
DIMM out for a known good one. It's interesting to note that the
machine behaves the same whether there's a DIMM in there or not.
Later today I'm going to pull the CPU and put it in a good machine
just to see what happens
