XPS One power switch doesn't function - lights up blue but then nothing else happens. I then hold it down for 30 seconds so all the power is drained from the computer and then try again, which occasionally works. Once it's on, the computer is mostly ok. This follows issues from the past few months where the CD/DVD reader would light up randomly even though nothing was in it and the fans would run randomly, but those issues seem to have stopped for now and I just have the power switch problem. I purchased this computer in May 2008. Any thoughts?

Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot.

If it boots, then shutdown, add battery and restart.

The laptop's screen display may remain black when there is a corrupted graphics driver, or a problem with the LCD display's back light. (Try tilting the screen to 30 degrees and see what happens.)

It could possibly be that your outputting to the wrong screen - most laptops have a "Fn" button that can be pressed in conjunction with a little screen on the keyboard to switch to either internal display or external (say F1 or F2).

first remove the battery and hold the power button for 30 seconds still if not working try removing the ram or replacing it

Try turning off the laptop, unplugging it, pulling out the battery and holding power down for 30-60 seconds. After that's done, put the battery back in, plug it back in, and turn it on.

Try this update to resolve your issue,also give information for more support.

Unplug the T.V. and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Plug it back in and see if you can get anything. If nothing happens you might need a firmware update or there might be a problem on the board that would need repaired.

>This may not be a resolution but it's worth giving it a try: ?
>Unplug power cord from both the computer and the power outlet
>Press and hold power button down for approximately 20-30 seconds(this is what we call Power Drain: it gets rid of electrical charges on the motherboard which may cause these kind of problems)
>after 20-30 seconds plug the power cord back into the computer
>Turn it back ON
>I really do hope this works

>comments suggestions ratings and violent reactions will be greatly appreciated

Remove the battery and power cable from the system and press the power button for about 5 seconds, then plug in the charger and start the laptop. it will work. shutdown it and put the battery back and start once again . now you can see its working

We will see if the problem is due to the static charge accumulated on the laptop. Disconnect the power cable from the laptop and also take out the battery. Also, disconnect all the external devices attached to the laptop e.g. external mouse, keyboard, printer. Now keep on holding down the power button on the laptop for the next 30 seconds. Put the battery back and plug the power cable. Now try turning on the laptop and let me know if it works. Thanks!

Try this:

1. when the unit is powered on, hold down its reset button for 30 seconds

2. while still holding down the reset button, unplug the router from power and hold for an additional 30 seconds

3. still holding down the reset button, turn on power to the router again and hold for 30 more seconds After this process (a total of 90 seconds) is complete, your router should be restored to its factory default state.
