D800 wont turn on.
Hello
My D800 wont turn on. When I push the power button all 3 lights to the left of the power button turn on. So does the "power on" indicator on the right side. These stay on for around 3 seconds. The screen is black, no backlight, no nothing.
I managed to get it to turn on once and then it acted like it lost all my settings in bios (screen was drawn out, i disabled that a year ago). It also asked for date and time.
I tried with AC, without ac, no battery present.. everything i could think of.
Anyone got any idea whats wrong?

Hi
My D600 is exhibiting exactly the same behaviour as the OP's computer. Am I correct in thinking that the D800 is just a D600 with a bigger screen? If so, I assume this is a common D600 problem also. Has anyone cured this problem themselves or is it ime to call Dell out?

Thanks Ed.
Fingers crossed, but I might have solved the problem. I had a Windows crash while trying to uninstall a piece of software this morning, a few things seem to have gone awry since then and I began to suspect the BIOS. I've since overwritten the BIOS with the latest version and the problems, including the boot problem, seem to have disappeared.
