Dell studio 1535

Hi Jen,

As the laptop is receiving power, I would like to know the status and color of the power button of the laptop.

Also please check if the laptop is beeping or displaying any diagnostic LED lights.

To test the LCD screen of the laptop please, I suggest you to run LCS BIST (Built in Self-Test).

While running this test, the LCD is operating on its own, free of the video controller which may be discrete (a video card) or onboard (on the system board). The test allows you to tell an LCD panel problem from a problem with the controller. If the colors are displayed across the screen without a problem then the issue lies outside of the LCD.

Press and hold “D” key and power on the system and release both the keys (D + Power button) to initiate LCD BIST.

Check if different colors are displayed on the screen, if the colors are not displayed then the problem is with the LCD screen.

I would like to know the status of the Ac adapter light when it is connected into the laptop, is it staying on or off?

Please post the results.

Hi,

As soon as i plug the charger in, the white light come on and instantly goes off, it doesn't turn on, nothing displays on screen, all it does when i press the power button

is it make the sound of turning on, the the media key lights, light up and each goes out from right to left.

Many Thanks

Anyone had this problem? and know what the fault was?

many thanks

You have a bad mainboard.

could also be due to incorrect/ faulty memory installed or even a faulty hard drive..
