Hi,

It is possible that the other end of your power adaptor is defective or just loose. Tighten it securely and try to test if it is emitting voltages by using a multi-tester.

It can also be that there is a problem with the connection form your power adaptor going to the main board of your laptop.

This is a very technical problem so I suggest you let a laptop technician look at it.

Hope it helps.

Thanks!

I have just done this. One needs to dismantle the laptop first. Solder a push button switch with extended wires across pins 4&5 of the serial eeprom 24c02. Then reconnect the screen, keyboard & a/c power pack. with a tooth pick press power on switch whilst holding push button on. When the factory mode screen comes on release the push button. Next go to bios setup F2 and ALT-p to the password page. Now enter your new password this will overwrite the old pass word. My approach is slightly different to this following method as it is les likely to brick the laptop.

if you are referring to a BIOS password, you need to contact dell tech support for this one. if you are referring to a windows password, you can go to safemode, logon as administrator(normally admin account doesn't have any passwod) , and remove the password the user account you want to logon to.

go to this Dell web site http://search.dell.com/results.aspx?s=gen&c=us&l=en&cs=&cat=sup&k=bios Put in the info for your comp and you can download the Bios. Also check for other upgrade for your comp.

first of reset bios to default.
you can can use any xp disk as long as you have cd key(any valid cd key for that matter)and install fresh copy (factory set/default)
eg I have 4 laptops and a tower pc all of which I have xp pro installed from same disk and same key +sp3 and ie8 and nav360

you should be able to get one from the Dell Support website

regards

When you say locked, do you mean password? If so, is it a bios password or Window operating system password?

If you're locked out of your computer, you can use a program such as OphCrack to recover passwords for local accounts. The LiveCD is incredibly easy to use, just boot from it and it does everything automatically.

you'll need a PCMCIA Wireless adapter to use that computer on a wireless network.
