My dell D505 turned itself and will not turn back on power light flashes but thats it power supply is fine

Hi,


Im very sorry to hear that, please follow these simple steps for you to be able to isolate the exact problem.


1. Removed the battery.
2. Connect the laptop directly to the power outlet without using the battery just for the meantime.
3. Turn on the laptop. If the laptop is able to power on, that means that the AC adapter is working fine as well as the DC port. If the laptop is not able to turn on, it maybe the AC adapter itself or the DC port.
4. Try to use another AC adapter if possible, make sure that that AC adapter is working fine. If the laptop is still not turning on, the problem is with the DC port itself. In that case, you will need to replaced the Motherboard itself.


Hope this will help...Thank you for using Fixya...

Sounds like ether a blown power supply. That happens when the laptop battery has alittle juice left.

Try to take out the battery from the bottom and plug the laptop in the wall. If the laptop powers up you battery needs to be replaced. If it doesn't power up, you need to replace the power supply.

Good Luck,

Is battery.... Try to Troubleshoot bettery before purchasing another one..

Please elaborate on your issue: If your PC does not turn on or give any lights with or without AC adapter, most likely the internal power supply/connector has gone bad, and with it being a Latitude D505 it probably is out of warranty. Only on eBay might you find an old part or two to replace it.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

hello there this could be alot of things ,please check battery ,also check power supply make sure both of these are functionable ,remove the battery and just connect the power supply and see will it turn on you should have power now ,if not you may replace the power supply please check these with other pc igf you can this will allimanate if it faulty or not ,on the other hand it could be the bios but more than likely its just a power problem ,please let me know goodlook

1. Try using only the power supply.

2. If it won't turn on, unplug power supply then use just the battery.

3. If these two steps doesn't work since you've already replace the battery and the power supply.
You'll need to replace motherboard.

Sounds like your battery is dead. They go bad in laptops and need to be replaced in a couple years.

1) Unplug your battery and power laptop on with just AC adaptor. If laptop runs normal then you need to replace battery.

2) If it doesnt turn on at all then your motherboard may have a problem. The power supply is integrated on MB on most/all laptops.

2) if you need a motherboard replacement, try http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/DellPartsFamily.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

remove all drives, RAM, battery,cards and any external connections, and see if the Lock LED indication changes. If it does change, add 1 RAM module, and see if the system POSTs. If it posts, add items back till you ID the one preventing post and replace it. If no change, then replace the motherboard ($150 or so on EBay)

Are you referring to the caps lock key,kindly check the memory of the laptop.

Could well be a RAM slot failure.. Try running on 1 stick of RAM and swapping the Mods around..
