    l have three lights next to the power button. the two closed to the power button are blinking together at a fast pace.

    You have to call Dell Tech support, first though I would try removing the battery for a bit then putting it back in, then try again, also when you call tell note how fast what color the lights are flashing that is a code such as 1-2-3 memory module failure or something.....6 straight video adapter failure, does it beep?

Press the fn key on laptop hold it down and then press the power key on the laptop. once u see any display on the screen you will get some tests running on the screen. The system will show you the error message which u need to note down. else you can do a Flea Power on your laptop. Remove the adapter and the battery and then press the power button and hold it down for 30 seconds then connect the battery and adapter back and try to turn on the laptop. See if the magic works for you

My Dell Inspiron 6000 (which I think I bought in

Have you tried this:
1. After removing the battery
2. Press and hold the power button for at least 10 sec.
3. Put back the battery
4. Turn it on

if this doesnt work, there could be a problem with your operating system. Try accessing safe mode if you can login .TAP F8 continously on the dell logo screen, and it will open advance boot options. (Just select safe mode) If safe mode boots properly try running system restore to restore it back to the previous date where your computer is still booting to windows. Hope this helps

This morning i got a update for windows.. well!! i updated it and then a error screen came on.. i tried to reboot the note book but its stuck in windows boot manager screen.. my lap top wont shut down.....

Boot into safe mode then go to system restore and restore it to before the update or go to control panel and uninstall the update.

To boot into safe mode:
Right after bios loads up and before windows starts loading start hitting the F8 key
Choose safe mode with or without networking doesn't matter

How to install xp in dell

you must first tell the computer to boot from the cd and not the hard drive. this is done-> turn the computer on when you see any word it the top right hand corner push F2 on you keyboard. that will get you into the setup. your looking for boot sequence use your arrow keys (mouse doesn't work yet) when you find it hit Enter now you want to put the CD/Rom in the boot first position select it with the arrow keys and use the letter U (up) & D (you got it -down) to put in the first spot.
then hit ENTER then ESC...exit and save
then put the disc in the cd player and reboot...the follow the instructions...it's pretty straight forward.
If you need more help...ask again. Hope this helps

How to install windows xp on dell lap top

You have to include your SATA driver into XP. Otherwise it wont detect your Hard drive. You may need a utility called nlite to do this.

I have a inspiron B130 and it wont boot i just disk rom installed.... now i try to boot from disk rom and it doesnt allow me to do anything it just restarted comes to a blue screen and restart

when computer comes up just after the dell screen hit the f12 key along the top. It will give you the option of booting from cd or hard drive. Pick the cd and if your cd is bootable it should boot from it.If it still gives you blue screen you probably have bad memory.
