XPS8100 cannot be powered on

Hi NanaMarie,

Dell Studio XPS 8100 comes with diagnostic indicators. If the computer is not starting up you can refer to the diagnostic indicators.

First I’d like to know The Studio XPS 8100 power button light (bicolor LED) located on the front of the computer illuminates and blinks or remains solid to indicate different color state.

Second I’d like to know if you are getting any beep codes. The Studio XPS 8100 system can emit a series of beeps during start-up if the display cannot show errors or problems. These series of beeps, called beep codes, identify various problems. Please let me know how many beeps you get.

Also, please open up the tower and check if you are able to see the motherboard LED light on.

Please reply so that we could assist you further.

Hi Ravi,

The power button light doesn't light up at all and I don't hear any beep sound. I'll open up the tower when I am home later to check the motherboard LED light. Thanks.

Hi all,

Thanks for the response and suggestions.

I can turn on my desktop now. I am not sure what's wrong with the system but it is working fine somehow :emotion-2:
