So my inspiron was working fine this afternoon but now it's just showing me a black screen. Now I've searched on how to fix it and I've gotten this far but would like further help now from an expert.
2000-0147 error indicates “Optical Drive (d) - self test: (s): Your CD or DVD drive has indicated a failure”. I would suggest you reseat the optical drive and see if that makes a difference. In the link below punch in the system service tag or express service code and you can access the user manual for removing and reseating optical drive.
