Dell Inspiron M5030 - 7 beeps and black screen - processor failure

OK. I fix the 7 beep problem, and take care for future overheating. So I think that if I wach the temperature curectrly I will use this laptop for long time. But still I'm wondering wich proccessro are supported by my motherbord. I wont to upgrade the cpu. If someone can give me a list with supported by the mobo cpis please....

Thanks and please excuse me for my "english"!!!

I bought my Dell inspiron M5010 in May 2011 ($699.99+ $58.62 (tax)= $758.61).  It is doing the exact same thing as your laptop. I took it to Bestbuy and I paid $69.99 to know the processor failure. I never had a laptop go bad quickly like this. I wasted my money. I will not buy any thing from Dell. Let’s me know if you are successful in replacing processor. Good luck.

is not a cpu failure, read here - http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19436289.aspx?PageIndex=1

and yes - we manage to fix the problem....temorary

Are you success in fixing your laptop. Geek squad in Best Buy test my laptop (dell inspiron M5010) and they confirm that "processor failed". I want to buy processor to replace. However, I fear that it doesn't  work. Let's  me know if your latop can work after you fixed it. Thank

I'm writing from the fixed laptop, and the problem was NOT the CPU. But we are with M5030, maybe our problem is only with this model. If the guys test the laptop and tell you that you have CPU failure, then ask them to change the CPU, and if the problem is not fixed dont pay anything. But tis is my opinian.

Hi

I sent Dell-Royan S a message and he sent a tech to my house. My Dell inspiron M5010 laptop was fixed by replacing a part.

Royan S is very nice. You can send him a message to fix your laptop.

- Replay to Dell-Royan S (send him a message about your
laptop).

- Wait, he will send you a link to add him as a friend to
get information.

- After that he will send a tech going your house to fix
your laptop.

My Dell M5010 was fixed. Royan S is very nice.

Good luck

The CPU needs to be replaced

Dell will send a tech to my house? I'll believe that when I see pigs fly!!!

Dell sent someone out to collect my computer and are currently fixing the problem. The customer service so far has been 1st class.Contact them and they will help

Seriously? You call this is "first class customer service?"

My laptop might as well still be broken as its getting so hot that I am afraid to use it.  Additionally, the laptop is was not reassembled correctly.  In numerous places, its obvious the tech forced the parts together the pieces are no longer flush against one another.  I'm including photos of the bottom and the hinge area behind the screen.  Also, when my laptop is open, directly under the screen at the hinge there is a piece paper that is sticking out from the inside.  If my laptop has this many exterior defects after being repaired, the there is no way the inside was repaired correctly.  The technician rushed through the job and was in my apartment for a grand total of 20 minutes. Further, he never called to set up an appointment. He just showed up, somehow gained access to my building, bypassed the call box at the front door and the elevator security code, and awakened me by beating on my front door. He said he was in the area so he decided to try and see if anyone was home.  Which would have been fine, except for the fact that received no advance warning whatsoever.  The least he could've done was check in with the office in the lobby of my building before hitching a ride in the elevator (which requires a key fob for access and again to select the desired floor number) with an unsuspecting resident and brazenly beating on my door.  I almost didn't answer the door because I was asleep, wasn't expecting anyone, and had no idea who he was or what he wanted.

My computer was collected and taken to the dell factory  in the uk . I can only speak of my own experience,but dell handled my complaint efficiently and the machine now works .  

IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 72 HOURS AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM ANYONE ELSE. I DEMAND A REPUTIABLE TRAINED REPAIR PERSON FIXED THE DAMAGES CAUSED BY YOUR INCOMPETENT  TECHNICIAN THIS TECH WILL BE DISPATCHED TO MY HOME IMMEDIATELY, AS IN TODAY!  NO FURTHER EXCUSES OR DELAYS WILL BE TOLERATED. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ON GOING ISSUE TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND ALL MEDIA OUTLETS. THIS STORY  WILL SOON BE FEATURED NATIONWIDE VIA THE LOCAL DALLAS ABC AFFILIATE. PEOPLE SHOULD BE WELL INFORMED WHAT THEYBARE RECEIVING WHEN PURCHASING ANY DELL PRODUCT.

Same Dell model, CPU just failed this am.   I have read all posts from 2012 and 2013 and I have decided to respond to one of the latest posts.

Since this is unacceptable,  I am planning to research any Class Action against Dell for this manufacturing negligence using inferieor components.  I had a Toshiba Satellite laptop 6 or 7 years ago and found out that their was a class action suit, and Tosiiba offered replacement or $1000.  In this case, I had to replace four hard drives and other issues abound.

Let's get this circulated and I am sure their is an attorney who will initiate if not already filed. Spread the word.
