Hey guys,
I'm trying to revive an old Dell D610 laptop and after installing the new CPU, a Celeron M, it wouldn't boot. I only get lights and a faint squeak from the CPU, also the hard drive and fan won't spin. Please help.
 
Solution
Is it a CPU that is supported by the laptop's current BIOS version? (Just because the socket and CPU are compatible doesn't entail that the CPU will work if the firmware doesn't support it.)

If the answer is yes, then you may have a faulty board or a faulty display adapter (video chip). Unless I'm mistaken, this system has ATI graphics. That ATI chip could be at fault.
