Inspiron 15 3580 frozen screen, not able to access safe mode

Hi,

My Inspiron 15 3580 screen froze on black/white Dell circle screen. I tried to power off & restart. Blue screen pops up. Searched for solution & found support online.  

I followed steps...

Blue screen “Automatic Repair”

Tried to restart, then clicked on “Advanced Options” - Troubleshoot- Advanced Options- Start Up Settings- Restart- request for BitLocker & entered BitLocker - Enter- Startup Settings-4

This takes me to my login page (my picture & name) & asks for Password.

*I only remember my 4-digit pin (not my admin password, so I can’t go any further. I know my Microsoft & Dell passwords but entering them doesn’t work. (There is no “forgot password” option.)

Im not able to restart in safe mode. 

Pretty sure there was a sad face with SA phrase... pls direct me to correct board if incorrectly posting. 

I hope someone can help, pls!  Thank you!!

Strangely, after charging my laptop for about 14 hours, it turned on without any problems. Miracle!!

Hello,

My apologies for the late reply, as COVID-19 has disrupted our lives significantly. Please go through below all the required info.

Service Tag =

Manufacture Year = 2017

Express Service Code =

There are few other problems, I have like,

a) Up arrow button does not work

b) Backspace button works for the only single hit

c) On the windows start, the three options 'Restart', 'Shut Down' and 'Sleep' options are intermittently missing.

Thanks much for your help!
