Hey House, please i got a problem with my dell D505 LAPTOP, i had to press the button hard to get it powered on , and if it powers nothing displays on the screen the lights close to the power button flashes for about 4 or 5 seconds and goes off, despite all these , no screen display or diplay on the screen, i have checked the ram memory and i do not think that its a screen problem, but someone once said that it could be a mainboard or motherboard problem , he seem not to be sure about it.

please my fellow engineers in the house what could be the problem with this laptop?
and whats the solution?
could this be a mainboard or motherboard problem, ?

do computers get better and reliable after thier faulty motherboard or mainboard is been fixed?

please advice me on what to do

thanks to you all

and God bless you

Its probably the mainboard, check d onboard video chips, if you know about reballing this can be a solution. Meanwhile for your other question Mainboard can work perfectly well again if properly fixed by an expert. Contact info@ia2ztech.com for more questions.

Check if u can boot to bios by pressing f10 or f8. If it boot to bios, come and contact me for easy solution

It's board my dear,I suggest u don't waste your money fixing another board.I have observed that Dell designs have issues here.guess it has to do with the system n how d vent is designed.most often what's called vent does not take out enough heat to protect the board n d processor n before u no it's gone bad.my cousin took here to overs for an exchange.u can go for Hp or better still Lenovo ( Lenovo products have the strongest hardware today n configurations sweet.u can google the profile of Lenovo laptops)

as at yesterday after disassembling the laptop, i tried to remove the board but couldnt because of some screws were worn out or too tight i guess, so i assembled it back and plugged it to power, it worked fine so i tought that the problem had been solved because i removed an aluminium panel from the bord, that aluminium panel seem to be a protector of board or something. but after shutting it down for 8 hours i decided to power it up again with electricity, it refused to come up. it was still showing the same symtoms (light blinks for 5 seconds). so i had to charge it cos i tought that maybe the barrtery was low, yet the laptop didnt come up until after i charged it for close to 15 miniutes, after 15mins it later came up and worked fine during throughout the day, i removed the power charger, it still worked with battery.so i was glad, but i decided to keep monitoring the situation, until this moring now i font that its not yet coming up after 20 miniutes charge now,

i remeber asking an engineer to help me look into it 5 days ago, i saw he had to heat up somewhere arround the board for the laptop to come up, i paid him and tought he has solved my problem only to discover after 3 hours that the problem isnt solved.

does dell as a company have a place such as a branch where they can take good care of such issues as these?, maybe they can exchange it for me to another one, just as your cousin did godunia.
or is it best that i abandon this laptop and get another one, .

hope u ll understand my writings.

thankyou for ur contributionss
