Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop won't turn on? help.?

Question

I press the ON button and it says "dell" then it shows a black screen, every time it says something new but it has been saying things like "2/159 crscrn.dll" or "7/159 0.0000000.dll" and then it will flash a blue screen that says something else but it's too fast to read. After that it will turn off and then back on again to a screen that says "start windows normally, safe mode, safe mode with networking..."

It barely started doing that this morning and last night it was working perfectly. I haven't gone on any weird sites, I just used it for facebook and youtube. Please help.

Answer 1

Re-install your computer. U may lose your applications, because of virus also you may have this type of issue. you may only use facebook and you tube, but there are virus which may occur because of DVD, or watching movies and playing games too. So after reinstalling update a good Anti-virus please.

Answer 2

Ok, to do a bit of diagnosis you will need a small phillpis screwdriver.



First remove the battery and the two screws that hold the hard drive caddy in the case

(hard drive is under the left corner of the computer)



Remove the drive (it simply slides outwards)



Reinstall the battery and/or reconnect the power and try turning the computer on...



What does it do? if it tells you there is "no booth device" press Control+Alt+Del at the same time and next time press F2 as the computer tries to start, if it goes to the bios screen buy a new hard drive and start looking for your physical reinstallation media



If it DOES NOT start next remove the memory/CPU cover (eight screws)

With the power disconnected and the battery removed remove the top RAM module, set it aside, reinstall the battery and try starting it again... Any luck?



If NOT remove the second memory module and temprarily install the first one in the lower slot

and try it all again... (usual caveats about disconnecting the power/removing the battery)



It is important to keep track of which memory module is which, because typically a Dell 1525 comes with 3gb of ram, a 2gb module and a 1gb module, and they seem to want the 2gb module in the lower slot...



Primarily I'm expecting you to find that either the Hard drive died or one of the memory modules is faulty.



Good luck!

Have to reinstall windows as you have .dll problems.
