Laptop not turning on
Hello folks!
I have a dell latitude d 830 laptop that dont turns on at all on AC power, pressing the on/off button results in an instantaneous power led blink for a while then nothing happens. Pressing the on/off button for a long time results in a simultaneous blink of caps lock & other grouped leds only. Charger is working too, Plz help me !

Hi meyerklose,
The issue might be with the system board. You may try the following steps and see if it works.
Drain the residual power from the laptop:
If the above steps do not work, then check the following LED indicators.
If you simply turn on the computer, you might see the above indicators flashing in a sequence. Make a note of the sequence.
Awaiting your response.

Hi meyerklose,
Thank you for the update. Try re-seating the Memory modules and see if that makes any difference. Please refer to the Service Manual.
Please ensure to follow safety instructions mentioned in the manual.
Please reply with the findings.

Thanks for reply !
I tried the first procedure but ended up watching the same instant blink of power led.
The 2nd procedure didn't result in any response but prior to the first procedure I pressed and held the power button for a long time, the three leds(as indicated in your relpy) simultaneously turned on and off and kept doing so for 3 or more times (they turned on for a longer duration) even when I took off my hand from power button. I dont see the same response anymore!

Hi meyerklose,
Thank you for the response. If the LED indicators flashed simultaneously, it indicates a possible motherboard failure and may require replacement.
Let me know if you system is in warranty; would be glad to assist.

Thanks!
Today I turned on my laptop, it showed a different behavior than before, the power light & the three lights (aforementioned) turned on simultaneously and then only caps lock light (middle one)started blinking, after sometine all the lights turned off and nothing happend afterwards. Does that indicate the same problem pointed out before?
Regards

Hi meyerklose,
That’s an awesome news!! As expected, the modules were causing the trouble. Re-seating them seems to have resolved the issue.
Latitude D830 system supports 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. The maximum memory supported by this system is 4GB.
Unfortunately, Dell does not support overclocking. There are in-built features in the system BIOS of this system. The factory default setting is Enabled. If you ave changed the settings, please ensure that you change it Enabled.
Hope this information helps.
