So um the dell 3120 wont turn on and i have tried charging it but the light indicator wont turn on and it was right after sticking somthing in the noble lock as its called?
dell 3120 Chrome book it is (and cheap) 5 years old, 300euro new.99% of problems on mobile devices is battery is no good.my guess is this NOble is DESK bound CABLE lock,sorry can NOT fix locks here, ever.this thin note book has the big battery hidden deep inside.and may be bad, and means it will not run on AC power pack alone.if AC fails to run PC, we (in a shop) take the big battery out and test in AC pack, if the laptop now runs ok if yes, the battery is TOAST (they can short too)5 years on a battery is very good., some fail at 1.(abused)get the PC fixed in a shopor read the service manual at dell, costs zero to read .or sell it, and upgrade.
Desktop Dell Inspiron 3847. I have 2ea dvd/cd optic drives. One of them is not showing in Device Mgr. now. how do I get it back. There is no presence of it and does not play a cd
Windows 10 right>? no OS told. but is windows sure.
\my guess is a dead DRIVE, if the drive does not PnP show up
that means A: it has no power, or B: the PnP chip inside is dead..
C : cables bad..
PnP means plug and play, and is a chip in all things that tell the PC WHO AM I, Identification even USB devices, same and all cards and RAM and yes HDD, and DVD drives
does the tray button work, eject? if not it has no power.(or is brain dead)
if you reverse the cables on the 2 drives, does the problem follow the
the DRIVE or cable ports.?
if follows the cables, . replace the cables, SATA..
the 3847 is only 6 years old , are any drives older?
that is it, besides testing any Drive on 2nd PC to gain proof, easy./
