Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
So a friend of mine has a Inspirion 1526 and is having a problem where when you turn the machine on the screen will for the most part not power on.
Not really sure if it is booting because the screen wont display a thing. You can usually see the screen tuen a different shade of black when the back light comes on, but this is not the case. The HD would make a horrible noise at start up when the machine actually does start up. I have removed his HD and am reformating it to see if that might help. On a side note, i installed my old HD and tried installing his OS on it, but it wont do it it. it stops as it about to sart expanding windows files. is that normal?
I just did a complete re-install of his OS and all needed driver about a week ago and he continues to get the blue screen every once in a while.
Not sure if these two problems are related. any help would be appreciated.
No boot boot up or screen activity. Please help.
