Hello guys, lately my dell inspiron laptop does not always come on when I press the power button. Nothing happens at all when I press the power button. It usually comes back to normal after I remove the battery for some time (sometimes up to 24 hours) and then put it back.
This problem doesn't affect any software or files so it functions normally WHEN it comes on.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? What could be the real problem? I once took it to a repairer but before the guy could touch it, I pressed the power button and it came on.
Please it frustrates me a lot because I can't even trust that my laptop will come on when I need it, so I borrow my friend's laptop when I need to do something important.

Hi Computer Gurus, I need your help.
I bought two hybrid computer devices from chaps in Nairaland and I am having issues with them:
My ASUS Transformer T100TA has serious radio problems. the WiFi /Bluetooth reception is very poor. I have to hold my MiFi device against the back of the laptop screen to use WIFI connections. Same also for Bluetooth; I must hold it close to the laptop otherwise the laptop will not see it? I have removed and reinstalled the drivers both from ASUS and Microsoft but wireless reception is still very poor. Please how can I overcome these issues?

I will post the problems with second hybrid device tomorrow.

your hard drive is the culprit. Run chkdsk /r and lets see.

put the laptop in an air tight nylon. Wrap it firmly to the extent that air will not enter or escape through the charging port. Plug in the charger and switch it on. Leave it like that till it switches off by itself. After this, the graphics panel detached through heat must have been reflowed. G. Luck.

click start, type cmd in the start menu and you should see the cmd application. right-click on it and select 'run as administrator', select yes at the prompt.
this should open a command prompt window. you can now type chkdsk /r to check your drive for errors and attempt repairs. i pray it helps goodluck.

Niceone bigt2, could the user make sure the laptop is not interrupted during checkdisk.
This to prevents hard drive from errors and corruptions.

It works most of the time for the hp dv/nvidia series of laptops (just a temp fix). I don't think there are reflow machines around nigeria, are they?

Advents, eisystem, emachines, phillips, packard bell are UK brand. The advent is good but watch out for broken plastics near
the air vent, screen and touchpad. watchout for burnt plasctic near the charger tip and where it goes to on the laptop.

at all. Thinking of establishing a workshop I can just order for the heat gun, relief machine and the likes. I've been searching for a butane soldering iron on Nigerian sites for ages.
