My refurb gen3 doesn't give a POST beep but boots and runs ok. I've tried the a03 and a05 BIOS with no difference. When I reset the BIOS to default I get one long beep so I know the internal speaker is ok. I would like to fix this for possible future trouble-shooting. Or should I forget about...

I rebooted after a Adobe Reader upgrade and I get no post at all. There were no symptoms before the reboot. Only the 4th diagnostic light is lit (very faint on the 3rd, which I assumed to be leakage from the 4th). That pattern is not mentioned in the manual, both the copy I keep on a different...

Tried to plug in my Dell 5150 to recharge the battery and nothing. The lights on the palm rest just flash once and go out. I have power at the transformer and at the plug to the laptop. Everything was working fine until the battery drained down. Now I have a expensive coaster for the coffee...

I removed the cooling stack in my Dell Poweredge 700 server to clean it. However, after reinstalling it, the computer fails to start up. No power. Nothing. Could it be that I replaced it incorrectly or is the power supply bad? I always thought that no matter what went wrong with things on the...

I have a Dell Inspiron. It was processing info, My foot hooked on the cord, pulled the laptop off of the shelf, I caught it mid-air upside down and the lid closed. Didn't seem like any damage would be done but wouldn't turn on. NO POWER whatsoever. NO led lights,

I'm trying to determine if it is worth while to fix a Dimension 4100 PIII 733 I was given. I believe I have a bad motherboard. Pressing the power button activates both fans but no boot + no beep tones. The LED on the CD flashes and that's it. With the CPU removed, nothing at all happens.

I have a Dell 2007FP monitor with firmware version A04 at work running from a Dell Optiplex 755 computer and using a VGA cable. It enters "power save" mode (with amber lights) when I turn off the computer. I bought a refurbished Dell 2007FP monitor for home use. It has firmware version A02,...

My daughter has an Inspiron 2600 laptop. She used it shut down and didnt use it again for two weeks. When she went to use it again, it would not power up. No leds nothing. It is just as if there is no battery or power supply. I tried it with a different battery and power supply that I know is...

There are 2K812 and F1262 Dell P/N numbers. Does anyone know what the differences are and which the latest revision is? Maybe owners can give me there P/N and when they did purchase their system and which cpu they have. Someone told me one of those 2 can't handle 3.2/533 or faster Xeons. TIA...

Called tech support tonight to have my 2005FPW monitor replaced. Gray/white area in the lower left corner. Is this the "backlighting" I read about? Also to request my Dell XP cd and drivers CD. No problem. Asked if they had a printed manual they could send me. Much prefer that over reading...

Is it normal for dell not to reply to a sales request??? I have requested a quote on 2 different occasions (for the same things) for a base and palm rest for a laptop that has been damaged due to attempted theft. Has anyone successfully purchased these items from dell (i'm located...

I have connected my HTPC to my HDTV through HDMI cable. My HTPC is loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. My HDTV is 40" LED Samsung full HD. Everything seems to be working fine except at times, it shows "no signal" HDMI4 and after a while it again starts working. "Screen saver" is set to...

Hello everyone I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with a 1702FP Dell monitor and a GeForce3 Ti500 graphics card. I have been experiencing a problem recently whenever I wake the computer up from Standby or boot from cold. The monitor lights flash alternately, tell ing me there is no signal being...

Dell 8200 Desktop, Win XP SP3 . Computer runs fine, but no sound. Went thru all the options,and no help. When I turn up the volume,I can hear some background hum. When I click on the speaker icon ,down on the right hand bar,all I get is a beep, when I run the volume up and down. This has happened...

The XPS 410, now available only with Vista, does not offer a Creative Labs sound card as an option. It is only listed for sale with integrated sound. Creative does show Vista drivers on their web site, so I am wondering if Dell found some problems with these drivers or whether they are waiting...

I just got this dell and installed a beta of windows vista, and I'm not sure if this problem existed in xp, but when i resume from standby, I no longer get any audio, until I restart. I just want to be sure this isnt a hardware problem, and that it's just a driver thing that will be resolved with...

I recently purchased a Dell Dimension 5100 which arrived on time, actually two days early. Everything is working fine except for sound. (I am keeping my fingers crossed after some of the horror stories that I have read in the newsgroup, but so far, so good.) I didn't order any speakers figuring...

Just installed the XFX 8600GT XXX 256mb in my QuadCore Dell 9200 Vista32bit, with onboard sound. I uninstalled the 8300GS and drivers, installed the 8600GT and had sound with the generic MS drivers, installed the Nvidia drivers from the CD, then no sound. Tried downloading the latest drivers...

The machine is a Dell Optiplex GX280 running Win XP professional 2002. But, there is no sound coming from the speakers. I am opening some music files using Windows media player which open fine, but there is no sound from the speakers. They are connected to the power supply and the volume is tuned...

I did a format and install of Win98se on a Dimension 4100 for a friend, he wanted to get rid of Win ME (the big fat pig). I am trying to install the drivers for the Soundblaster card (CT4780) but with no luck. I have tried all the drivers at the Dell site and Sound Blaster Site, but still cant...
