Need help with Dell Inspiron 1520

[Bigdaddy2206]

I have a Dell Inspiron 1520. The laptop will act like it's powering on but doesn't. Laptop stays a black screen and power light will light up but a flashing blue light beside the power key comes on. What do I need to do to fix the problem?

Hello Bigdaddy2206

Most of the times such issues can be resolved by hard resetting the laptop.

Initially you can try to unplug the laptop from the power supply and attempt to power it on only on battery. You can also try the reverse procedure, i.e. take the battery out and try to power on the laptop only with the power adapter.

If both the above methods give you the same result, to hard reset your laptop, you can:

> Unplug the laptop from the power adapter.

> Take out the laptop's battery.

> Press down and hold the Power button for 45-60 seconds.

> Release the Power button.

> Put the battery back and try starting the laptop this time.

Let me know which solution works for you.

Cheers!!
