Dell Engineering defect found on Latitude E7240.
Same problem with just about every other Latitude, Inspiron and even some XPS.
Power-on no display.
Power-on holding down the " D " key to run display test.
Completes all the color displays that it should.
After the test it should boot but they do nothing just a black screen.
Anyone know the solution to this one.
I have removed and replaced just about everything except the BIOS chip.
Best regards,
U2
Note:
Tested 57 for resale and 5 have this defect.

Regarding the general narrative of the discussions related to this, I am considering changing the motherboard now. I'd have pulled the trigger already tbh, but what's stopping me is the possibility of the problem occurring on the replacement motherboard
You're probably frustrated too.

Looks like we can add the E7270.

I saw a lot of great deals on the e7x70 but read a lot of horror stories online.
I'm drawing the line at e7450 for now.

So disappointing to read since I had always thought that the Latitudes were super reliable.
I have a E6230 and I like the portability.
I would consider upgrading to E7240 but now I am not sure.

I have the e7240 with Windows 10 on it and I should say "I had" since its totally won't boot windows anymore and trust me I've put hours into trying to fix its problem and now selling it just gave up
Worst idea ever is to install Windows 10 on any laptop period.
And if plan on running Linux don't even bother "hardware incompatible" won't run even from an external drive

Why does Dell refuse to acknowledge the defect???
