i have a dell inspirion 1100 and it wont start up. There are no fans spinning, no hard drive activity, no keyboard lights, and no display. The only thing that turns on is the LEDs for power and the battery. The power light comes on as soon as i plug in the laptop to an AC power source. Please help me! I really need this up and running in time for school! I posted some pics here. Please helpme!!!
Dell Inspirion 1100-- Please Help!
I found (from experience) that is mobo will not power up due to a BIOS fault. When the battery is low
there is a defect in the code that also does not allow it to charge the battery! Of coure if you send to Dell
they tell you they replace the mobo at liek $500 cost what a joke. You only need to borrow a battery that is
charged and plug into the power brick. Then have a foppy ready to flash to A11 upate level - then all worries
are gone! Works great after that... Just wanted to share my tip. Maybe save someone a few $$$.
