IcemanND Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 it depends upon the manufacturer. Some will have beep codes other will use the caps lock, num lock, power and hdd leds for diagnostics.

IcemanND Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 As I recall the 4150 use the LED codes, but I can't find either LED or Beep code list on Dell web site for that model. If it is LED codes the capslock, numlock and scrol lock leds will continously flash. At least that is what happens on other model I have worked on.
LLXX Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 It'll turn on but you won't be able to do anything with it.
IcemanND Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 watch the leds do they come on and stay on or flash in a pattern or do the leds do nothing at all?watch the caps lock, scroll lock, num lock, power and hdd led. also note the color.

prx984 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) i have an idea, i doubt itll work, but its worth a shot. take everything you can out of the computer including the cmos battery, a computer will boot without the cmos battery. if it doesnt boot , leave it for a while. let it all disharge so to speak. then see what happens. its worth a shot, it wont waste anything but time.ps: hope you can get it working, thats a nice laptop. -brian Edited July 6, 2006 by brian10161
