Nothing happends when I plug my drive into my PC's

Hello,

If the computer is not turning on, there is a big chance of hardware failure and normally there is no easy fix for this rather than a motherboard replacement.

Many times this is due to the drive letter the flash drive wants to use is already taken.. Right click on my computer, click manage and go to disk management to see what drive letters are taken. try plugging into a different pc to see which letter it comes up so you can compare to what is being used on your PC.

Hi,


It could be the battery is already degraded. If the battery is more than 2 yrs. old you could check the battery health meter and see if you need to replace it. Hope this helps

You should talk to a Dell support specialist. The blinks are actually a code that tells you exactly what is wrong with it.

When you mean the amber light, is that the blinking hard drive access light or the power light? Different cases have different colors on it. Mine has blue and green lights.

If you see the boot screen (bios) and then after it goes to boot, does it blink and hang?

This could be a simple operating system issue, hard drive or hardware/motherboard issue. If you could provide more information, that would help.

i have a dimension 4600c. same problem. amber flashing light no sounds. replaced my power source and its now working fine. bought one on ebay for $47

hi
stuart

just read this carefully.................

Unplug the power cord and the display cable from the monitor. Now press the power button for 60 sec exact. Plug the cables and your system is working................ This is just a power drain.

Enjoy

Josh-

You should try to get a hold of a USB mouse (different one)
If you shut down the machine and restart using this mouse it will be automatically detected and should bypass the problem.

Once you are in you can enter the device manager (right click on MY COMPUTER and properties)

Find Mice and other pointing devices in the list and delete any that look disabled or yellow (!)

Good Luck!

check powersupply, boot into recovery console and run chkdsk /r if able, and yes you can mirror the drive and recover data. may also be able to do repair install.

Green is steady or ready and amber light is activity remove the usb cable and plug it again
