laptop will not start-up

ronss · 12-25-2008, 01:03 PM

Hi all,

During reassembling my Inspiron 9300 (to upgrade the cpu) I did something wrong and now the laptop refuses to turn on. Instead of normal booting when I get the "power on" pressed the power led starts blinking frequently (2.5 blinks a second). Nothing more happens (fans, hard dirive, etc. don't start).

Did you get the CPU reinserted properly? Did you get the memory seated properly?

Try pulling the memory out and putting it back in. Same with the CPU, aligning the reference triangle
