Mine did the same thing only I don't think it was even checking the hard drive and I found an entry in the DELL owners manual troubleshooting section that said if you powe rit up and the power light stays on but nothing appears on the screen, tyr removing and reinstalling BOTH memory modules and reinstalling them to insure that ey wer making contact.

Mine worked perfectly after I removed both memory modules and reinstalling them.

Be aware though that one of the modules require the removal of the keyboard to access it so it isn't really something that everyone should try on their own.

It start beeping until XP window come up,

It could be a bad memory module. Try removing and reinstalling them. Try one module at a time to see if beeping stops . Check all other connections to make sure they are properly connected. Hope this helps.

I have a Dell 1525 laptop and when powering up, nothing comes up on the screen but the power light comes on. One time it made a loud beeping nosie.

It depends on the beeping noise you hear. If it beeps short but continuouse then it is probably power problem possibly the battery. You can use a guide to the beeps to determine what exaclty is causing the probpem it might well be the hard drive is gone.

My Dell Inspiron 2650 screen goes black after start up. It is still working, its just a black screen. I can close the lid, re-open it, and it will stay on for about 5 seconds. Whats the problem, and how...

This problem is caused by a bad inverter. You can find one on Ebay for a decent price. That's where I get most of mine from $8 to $20. Your inverter is located on the bottom front area of your LCD just under the plastic, and it is very easy to replace.

Dell Inspiron 2650 Notebook Start Up Problem

If this also occurs when you first power it up, then one of the solutions that the DELL manual suggests is to remove an reinstall the memory chips to insure that they are making good contact. I had the same problem upon powering up and when I removed the memory modules and reinstalled them, the problem went away.

Hopefully this wil help you too.

Dell Inspiron 2650 Boot problem

Hey, Ive had a few laptops with similiar problems. If there are no beeps then most likely there is a problem in the motherboard.

You could try removeing extra hardware like the cd/dvd drive and try to start up again but most likely the motherboard would need to be replaced.

In most cases the price comes near the price of a new laptop so it might be better to buy a new one.

You can remove your harddrive and buy a converter to connect it into your desktop pc or to your replacement laptop. to save your files.

If you need more asistance, let me know.
Good luck!
