time to replace the hard drive and reinstall windows

im very sure.. its a video problem.. try to replace the graphic card of your unit..

I wouldn't recommend trying to repair it yourself. I would recommend checking ebay, craiglist or kijiji for another one, usually fixing motherboards is more expensive than actually just buying a new one. Just with a quick search I found this.. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/301244/209554092-318603407/DELL-Vostro-1510-Laptop-Motherboard-J475C-Intel-Video.html
Goodluck :)

I think, your laptop Ram or Bios have problem. Better u try to re_setup the windows.

Go to Dell Website http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=WLH&catid=25&dateid=-1&impid=-1&osl=EN&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&servicetag=&SystemID=VOS_N_1510&hidos=WLH&hidlang=en&TabIndex=&scanSupported=True&scanConsent=False and download the required drivers for Dell Vostro 1510. Dell Vostro provides only drivers for windows XP and Windows Vista. What you can do is install the Windows Vista Drivers for your Windows 7 and hope it works.

LED 9 flashing can mean many things. Here is the list of "flashing codes" for the vostro 1510.

Keep in mind a flashing led is going to blink 3 times. for example,

number one would look like this:

On (solid lit). Blink, blink,blink (paused off) blink, blink, blink... (paused off), (then repeat)


1. ON-FLASH-FLASH = No Ram or ram not seen
2. ON-FLASH-ON = Ram has a problem
3. FLASH-FLASH-FLASH = Motherboard failure (replace board)
4. FLASH-ON-ON = CPU Fault/failure
5. FLASH-ON-FLASH = LCD detect failure/fault
6. ON-ON-FLASH = MINI pci card (controller) failure/fault
7. FLASH-FLASH-OFF = Keyboard fault/failure
8. FLASH-OFF-FLASH = USB FAILURE
9. FLASH-FLASH-ON = Video BIOS or BIOS issue
10. ON-FLASH-FLASH = Modem issue

Depending on the blinking code, you might just need to re-seat or replace your RAM or your CPU. But then again, you could have a more severe motherboard issue.
