Hey u all

Have got a BSOD and after that a black screen only with the caps lock flashing, have tryed to reboot but nothing happens, have split the laptop totally and asamblet it again, still nothing,
is there anything I can do to get the thing working again, or does it have to be repaired?
I do not get into bios, or see the start logo

did you manage to fix this problem?
i have had the exact same thing happen to my sisters laptop, and i have no idea how to fix it. i have tried running the operating system disk that you get with the laptop but as you cant do anything it was an exercise in futility.
she is running windows vista 32 bit i think, i cant be sure. it is definitely vista though.
cheers

all you have to do is call dell and ask them to replace the system because u cannot do anything.. probbly the one causing the problem is the mother board...=)) but if u still have the warranty they can replace it right away.. chill and relax
