Go to Solution1537 Power Up Problem
I'm having an issue with my Studio 1537 . I hit the power button, doesn't even reach the BIOS screen, hard disk drive does not sounds like reading, and screen not showing anything..
does anyone has any ideas¿
I'm a newbie on this community, I appreciate any help.
If you know how to remove and replace the memory chip, you can fix it.
1. remove all the memory chips (if you have more than one)
2. replace one of the chips and turn it on to see if it works.
3. if not, remove it and try the other one.
Sometimes the computer won't work if one or more of the memory chips is dead.
Good luck.
What do the LED codes flash? There are 3. Could you describe which are flashing and which are not? I suggest not moving hardware around unless the LED codes indicate a specific part.
Your system manuals and documentation :
<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>
If we are able to establish whats causing the system not to post by the LED indicators, detailed intructions for removing/reseating components can be found in the above documention.
thanks for your quick replies. I just downloaded those manuals and I am reading them.
here's a chronology of what is going on :
- I push the power up buton.
- Volume / media leds blink up and down, as it has always done.
- dvd spins, as always.
- no sound for hard disk spinning, (unusual)
- power button LED is ON
- the led that shows charging (in white) or orange when it needs to be recharged: this led is not powering on
- the HDD indicator led (next to the wifi and Bluetooth led) blinks periodically once a every second.
- I hit the powe button again to turn off, and some unsual sound is heard.
is this enough info? please let me know.
thanks in advance
hello everyone.. a friend of mine advised me to unplug the ac cord and the battery, then hit the power button for 30 seconds.
this would drain statics off my device.. and.. it worked!!!!
he told me that HEAT might be causing this.. have you seen this behavior before!¿!
anyway.. thanks to all for your help.

It is common with laptops, when you are using your laptop for long periods of time static electricty is stored in the computer and can cause your laptop to overheat so powerdraining is necessary
Power drain Steps
1. Press and Hold power button till the laptop turns off(5-7 sec approx).
2. Then unplug the AC adaptor.
3. Turn the laptop upside down.
4. Then remove battery.
5. Then press and hold the power for 30seconds(to remove static electricity).
6. Then plug in AC adaptor and turn on the laptop.
7. Then shut down the laptop and put the battery back
sorrry I didnt respond earlier I was called away from the computer but based on your LED's this would have been what I would have advised. Happy it worked out and you didnt start messing around inside with reseating parts :emotion-2:
