Hi shashi.sd89,

Thank you for the reply. Did you try running LCD BIST diagnostics? Please let me know if the power light is blinking amber or blinking white.

Please reply for any further questions.

i tried all things you given above..it did not work

Hi shashi.sd89,

Thank you for the reply. Please connect an external monitor with your system and let me know if you get display. Here is the description and the possible cause of the beep codes on your system:

You mentioned in the initial post that you get 6 beeps followed by 5; you should either get 5 beeps in a series or 6 beeps in a series.

Hello Vilkram

I have a similar problem. I own a Dell Inspiron 1564. I have been using my Dell for three (3) years now. I love my Dell and I hope I will be able to fix the problem . The problem is, I power on the laptop this morning, the laptop gave. 6 short beeps followed by 5 beeps. The power light is On (white), I pressed the esacape button twice and the Dell laptop boots but no display on the screen. I even entered my password blindly and the laptop works, gives the window login sounds, I can hear Skype start up sound; but the screen remains blank through out this process!

Do you have an idea of what the problem may be and how I may be able to tackle the challenge.!? This is the first time I am having an issue with my Dell Inspiron 1564.

Hi Okeys,

i had similar problem,now its solved, my graphics card was not working, so i replaced it,it cost me around 3.5k,but beware of local service centres,ask them to put new graphics card,else they will put some old card and loot full amount from you later,it will give same prob again

Hello Shashi

Thanks for responding. Where did you have yours changed!? Was your Graphics card built into your Dell inspiron 1564 mother board!? Did you replace it with an Exact type of Graphics card !? And is it possible to opt for a higher capacity graphics card!?

I hope to hear from you soonest.

Thank you for your response and for giving me hope!

Hi

I too have the same problem. with my laptop. is your graphic card is built-in in motherboard or have separate slot? If you too have built-in graphic card in motherboard, then how you replace it with new one and also from where you purchase the new one.

In my area there is no dell authenticated service center. Please help

Hello Gitesh

I have not fixed mine yet! I don't know if the Graphic Card is in-built to the mother board or a separate slot! I should see a technician this weekend!

HI Okeys,

Actually graphic card is embedded within  mother board,if you ask dell people,they will ask you to replace mother board itself which will cost you around 15k, but local vendours can fix it on  same old mother board, and yes you can go for higher config, earlier i had 512mb graphics card, i have replaced with 2gb graphics card

Hi Oke

I concerned with a technician last  week. firstly he said this is the problem due to graphic card and that is inbuilt in motherboard and they are very familiar with this one..they said it's common now days.Graphic card chip set is fix on the motherboard and is repairable but no warranty .This problem is because some circuit of this chip is not working properly ..as it require some heat to work all the circuit in regular fashion. he said it's better to repair the old chip and no need to buy new chip.New chip cost worth around 3.5 k. Hope you also concerned with any technician. So please give me the feedback what he suggest to you..

Anyone else who are reading this post, if they also faces the same worst problem then please reply whether to repair the old one or go with the new one.

reparing old one is fine....my new graphics card also had shown same prob in 2months,later he repaired it, now its running fine

hi gitesh23

i have same problem and also not solved till now. help me.

thanks
