Laptop powers up, fan is going full blast, but nothing else happens?
I got a used Vostro 5471 from a friend. It worked fine at first, then, after six months
not using it, all that happens when I try to power it up, is the fan starts up in hyper
mode, and won't stop. Nothing else happens. Black screen. The keyboard lights up
though. I tried forcing it to enter bios with F12, and every other key command I
could think of, but no response. LED flash code by the AC power connector was
giving a "bios not found" code. I decided to replace the CMOS bettery on the
motherboard with a brand new one, but after installing it, no difference,
just the fan going on steroids. nothing else happens?
