Very helpful video many thanks 🙂 It’s lucky you’re using exact same laptop I’m trying to bring back to life lol. Just took out my BIOS, and the timer has been set to one hour. Fingers crossed this works because the previous steps failed. I’ve liked and subscribed keep it up. 👍 UPDATE: I’m pleased to report BIOS reset has done the trick for me. 😃🙌 My dead laptop that wouldn’t turn on no matter what I did is now back to life.

Sleep mode just absolutely sucks on my Dell XPS 13 “. My battery gets drained to near zero many times a month and over time I’ve noticed it wreaks havoc on tbe Bios. My machine was getting stuck at shutdown with the fans blowing and not able to turn off and my clock was constantly off. After watching this video I decided to reset the cmos battery even though my machine would boot and turn on. So glad I did it !!! This fixed my problem!!! I’m still wondering about keeping this laptop as Sleep mode on a Mac OS just works. Any suggestions on how to configure my laptop to perform sleep better would be appreciated or do I just shutdown each time ?
I forgot to turn off my laptop it was on sleep mode when I try to turn on its power button light start and after a few seconds it turns off. I reset the CMOS battery but it still doing the same thing. Kindly help
I spilled a small bit of water on it wasn't too bad so I turned up side down to let it drain. i turned it on after that and it worked fine. so i turned it off and let it charge. then when i went to turn it back on nothing. tried all the steps in your first video nothing. now im resetting the cmos battery and if that doesnt work I will cry. I loved that laptop. I hope this works. why would the cmos battery be affected after water being spilled is there a fuse anywhere?

My laptop works just fine but while it’s on and working it keeps beeping 5 times in a row and never stops, what am I supposed to do. If I play an audio or video it won’t beep
I'm on this video now, got a right charger for the hp 430 g3 and i've taken apart the laptop in order to remove the cmos battery.. In fact i tried placing a new one in there prior but still same symptoms. Funny thing is, the moment i plug the charger the led in power button and charger button lights up and then turns off. Same thing for when i put the battery back in. So I just taken out the cmos battery again and will leave it out for an hour or so and i'll try to put it back in and test more. I really hope i could get this laptop fixed because it's a really nice laptop and would make a great gift to someone in need. Thank you for your time and expertise. I will keep you posted.

PC Monkey I’ve gone ahead and ordered a multimeter last night. Same one as yours I believe. That way I could test the power jack to see if it that’s my issue.

I’ll check the video you pointed out though. Thanks for your response.

For the cmos battery that it's wrapped should I just unplug it and then plug it in!?? Cuz i did gave my hp pavilion dm4 beats edition to a technician and he said maybe i should formate the 2 bios bin so i trust him and he did it but after 2 weeks this problem happened screen black and the power button and taps cap clignote a light.

When I turn on my dell laptop, the screen goes on and displaying the dell logo and the loading sign. After that, the screen goes blackout. But the light of indicators are still on. How to fix this?
Bro really thank you very much!! I was worried what to do upon sudden shut down of my pc after seeing ur video I solved it myself!! Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!! This finally solved the issue! Your videos are very well done and easy to understand! When computer started working, it said the system had an error when starting, it couldn't find the module for C:\Windows\System32\LogiLDA.dll I am not sure what that means, but I sure hope the computer works now.
This is informative..I removed the Bios battery and return it back after few minutes thereafter the the laptops starts turning off after turning on the power key. before the power key and wifi key keep showing light when i turns it on but now the light disappear in fear seconds, Thanks
Hi Monkey! Haven't started the laptop yet, will work on it in the next couple of days. I will keep you posted on the results.

Hi, my asus laptop just show black screen, but at the early seconds, the LED lights on my laptop turned on, it also didn't have any beep. This happened after I open my laptop's inside to clean the fan. But what I got is worse than an overheating laptop lol. Wish you could direct for what videos that can help me, because I tried switching the RAM slot and it is torture to open the screws over and over again. Thanks sir.
I have an Hp laptop last night I put it on sleep and today it wasn’t coming on when I connect my charger the LED light comes on for a few seconds and then it goes off and nothing happens. My dad rested the charger and it’s good. Any help? I have tried the instructions in video you recommended but it’s not working
If your computer wont turn on, then you should start on the first video here; ruclips.net/video/CGc_o9FFoss/видео.html. If that video fails to identify the issue, then come back here and perform the BIOS Reset. Have you tried that first video yet?
Hello, I have a Dell Latitude E747Q: I repaired the computer successfully but after I created a standard account and rebooted the computer then before the post screen it said "Locked" and shutdown. Now it will will just start and shutdown. I have never seen or experienced this "Locked" scenario. Is this a new Windows 10 thing? How to fix it?
I don't fully understand if I should replace the battery with a new one or just pop it out, leave it for an hour and then pop the same one in. Also, "draining the motherboard", should I turn the computer on for this. Sorry, I am completely clueless about these things. BTW my laptop is a Dell Latitude E5410. Thank you for your help!
In order to reset BIOS its best to have the main computer battery out and the power cord unplugged. Then you remove the CMOS battery for up to 20 minutes and then put the same one back in. That resets BIOS. Is that what your trying to do?
Thank you so much for your video's very simple and clear. Although I cant seem to fix my machine, I would deffinatly recommend these to anyone having computer problems
@PC Monkey please help me .i have hp bro book laptop and i am continuously trying to turn on my laptop but I couldn’t i have followed your step 1 video but it didn’t work although the charger is working well as i tested and even my laptop is not turning without battery and with direct power supply please suggest me solution
Great video, really informative, i have encountered an issue, i used the first method by pressing the power button after releasing the battery, it worked at first but after shutting it down it required to do the same step as before for it to turn on again
@@AnalogueSpam Do you use your computer with a healthy surge protector or do you just plug the computer into the outlet? Also, the battery or charger may be going bad. Try running the computer for a day or two with just the charger by removing the battery. Does the problem continue?
Is there a way to test the hard drive once you can remove it and access it, and what special tools or equipment are needed, ie: VOM meter, oscilla scope or any other specialized equipment??
I have an HP stream and idk what to do it turns on and shows the HP logo and then turns off and turns on again and turns off again and it keeps going in a loop
I saw in the Lenovo video for resetting bios, that you would have to fix the date/time stuff if the laptop turned on after resetting or it could screw up the system. Is this the same for Dell, or does Dell not require the fix?
Thank you for your time and clear presentation, just wonder if you guys fix motherboards, like checking for short circuits, like MOSFETs, capacitors, etc?

I changed the CMOS battery on my old Dual Core Dell desktop after problems (F1) booting. I had the old battery out only a very few minutes quickly popping the new CMOS battery in place, and immediately the computer worked great but had mysteriously lost all sound. I have replaced the drivers and refreshed (or reset) Windows 10.The sound system is not recognized as even being present by the computer. Would leaving the new battery out of its case to reset the BIOS perhaps solve this problem with the sound? Thank you so much for your help!!!
My Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series boots to the BIOS recovery screen after getting the Dell opening screen. Selecting any of the 3 BIOS recovery options (Recover BIOS, Reset BIOS Settings to Default, Rollback BIOS) appears to work (progressing to the “Updating your firmware” and “Firmware update successful. Rebooting your system” screens, but it always reboots to the BIOS recovery menu. I ran this process, and the CMOS battery voltage is good (3.04v) . How can I get this laptop to exit the loop and actually boot to the Operating System?
1. Are you able to run the diagnostic scan as seen here? ruclips.net/video/B2Umoh81QeI/видео.html 2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
I've enquired about my issue in one of your videos elsewhere. After going through this video, I think it's BIOS related. I need to reset the BIOS as advised by you. My issue is, since my Vaio laptop battery isn't in working condition i use it by connecting directly and power is on. Lights blink. Fan runs but there's no display, i.e. the laptop is not turning on. In such situation can I connect the laptop with an external monitor or an led tv to check if it's okay? Now, if there's display what does that signify? Also, please confirm connecting the laptop with an external monitor is advisable? The laptop screen went black when the boot mode changed from LEGACY to UEFI thus the black screen. Do you think by taking out the CMOS battery will reset the BIOS?
Does this work for dell Inspiron model N5110 too? My laptop beeps 5 times when powering on after I already changed detachable battery on the back but haven’t opened up the laptop using a screwdriver yet.
1. For a computer that does not turn on, try this video first; ruclips.net/video/HHwzA37r4e8/видео.html. Let me know how that goes :) 2. Also, did anything happen before this? Overheating, liquid spill, Windows update, etc?
If your trying to factory reset your operating system, its best to have the CMOS battery plugged in and everything in the computer working as it should be.
@@PC_Monkey thanks i did watched all the videos and it is still not going on. I have a Dell laptop Latitude E7270. And it is not turning on at all. Checked the battery, port and adapter and did an bios reset.
I am doing this because i forgot the bios password on a laptop that was not being used. I tried to find the password using generators found online that use the service tag but that did not work. Will this reset the password?
Does replacing the CMOS battery require a factory reset or can it be replaced without doing a reset? My computer was beeping 5x when turned on and still working. I just removed the actuall computer battery and plugged in the power jack and it now works without beeping. I should mention that I have gotten pop up notices saying "the battery has failed" so I guess I should get a new main battery before worrying about those beeps?
My dell inspiration 15r is giving a single beep and not starting. I did some research, and it seems like it's a problem with the bios? Should I try changing the battery for bios reset first? Would that fix that? or should I try replacing the bios chip? Thanks for the help. Your videos are really helpful.
@@PC_Monkey thank you for the reply. I will let you know if it fixes the problem. And, thanks for getting back to me too quick. It was a huge help. I didn't know about your channel before, but now I am a huge fan of it. Will definitely recommend it to others. Thanks again.
Hi, My Dell laptop does 5 beeps when turning on the black screen. When I do bios reset and it goes back to factory will all my saved files/ms office be deleted?
No, a BIOS Reset will not erase any data as long as the Hard Drive is good. However, 5 Beeps on a Dell usually refer to a Processor Failure. And usually, since the Motherboard or the CPU Socket will go before a CPU will, I would assume your Motherboard needs to be replaced.
Thank you for the good explained videos and the extreme details. I have a question though, what if the laptop turns on for about 5 seconds and dies out, the screen turns on only with the back light sort of grey but nothing on it. I can hear the fan running etc during these 5 seconds. Any idea?
@@PC_Monkey Thank you again. I tried that and the same, i noticed that when i start the laptop the fan turns on for 3-4 seconds then the fan only shuts off, if left for another 10 seconds the fan turns on by itself while the CAPS lock light is steady on, pressing the power button doesnt do anything, but holding it down it shuts down the laptop. Ive tried all your videos methods. Unsure whats the cause
@@stivenson200 If all the tests in this video do not reveal the issue, then your most likely looking at a Motherboard replacement as seen here; ruclips.net/video/N_7HNrFkMS8/видео.html. If you know your computer's model number, I can help you get inside your specific computer :)
@@PC_Monkey thanks a lot. I can perform motherboard replacements as I’ve done it on some other laptops. My laptop is Lenovo v130 I’ve been googling the issue and I came across many whom had the same or similar issues. I suspect it’s the MB aswell but trying to keep that to the very last. Since they cost around 270 USD.
Hi! So my dell Inspiron 15-3552 turns on, but randomly beeps 5 times, constantly and loudly. Is this where I would remove the CMOS battery for an hour and then put it back in? I don’t need a new CMOS battery? Thanks for your help!
Hello, I have Dell Inspiron and its not turning on as it was in some reset process and my daughter just turned the power button off and since then its not starting. It makes 3 continues beeps and pauses and repeats again. I did check your diagnostic video but that did not work for me and still just beeping what do you recommend???? Thank you very much for your time.
3 beeps is usually a Motherboard: Chipset error. First run the Dell Diagnostics as seen here; ruclips.net/video/IsqINCxx_Ik/видео.html. If that shows no errors, try to perform a BIOS Reset as seen here; ruclips.net/video/kTYlxcL1cQc/видео.html.

I have the Dell latitude e5470 that was laying around for 2 yrs by my son-in-law because he's always buying new laptops every 2 yrs. The problem I'm having is it has a Symantec software and he doesn't remember the password. I want to upgrade it and after seeing your video, by changing the small CMOS battery & bring it back to factory settings will it bypass the Symantec software or can I remove it entirely? I'm so anxious to upgrade this laptop and in 2 years he'll be giving his new one and I can upgrade it too. Why buy a new laptop (milk) when I know he'll give the laptop (the cow) to me. Great video Mick
If this is a Windows password, you would have to factory reset windows. Assuming you have a Dell computer, you can see that here; ruclips.net/video/IE1zShTb0rU/видео.html. If this is a BIOS password your talking about, unfortunately, I dont advise on how to bypass that on this channel. Your symantec software would be Windows related so you would need to do a factory reset. The CMOS battery operation wont have any effect on that.

So I have a lenovo idea pad 510. I had removed the ram stick yesterday to have a look and then put it back properly. I then turned on my laptop to see if it was working and it turned on just fine. So I switched it off and went to sleep. The next morning I get up but it won't start. The charging light is on and shows that the laptop is charging but there is no other sign of life in the laptop.

Hello. I have problem, my laptop keeps turning on and off in loops. I will try your recommendation to fix it. My question is, will all my files be erased if I do BIOS reset?

I ordered a new CMOS battery, replaced the one in an old Dell Inspiron because of real time clock error, and the laptop still shuts down without warning. When it turns on again I get the same error message and date reset to 2016. I could use your advice on how to proceed from here.
I have a laptop inspiron 15 3552. I flashed the bios for an update. I watched the process, a message said keep the computer plug in, do not interrupt etc. Finally the computer sort of shutdown for a restart. I thought the bios flash was completed fine. However, the laptop never restarted itself. Hours later, i powered on the laptop, but it would not switch on, even after several attempts. What should i do?

Hi I was just on my home screen then the error screen came which said we will automatically restart it for u then it kept going on and the laptop didn't turn on is this a virus or something cuz I also did the system check and there was no failure plz tell what to do :( :(
I took out the cmos battery- left it out for over an hour and it didn't fix it. I must have missed a cable somewhere when reattaching the motherboard. Because now the monitor doesn't turn on at all (it used to turn off by itself after about 2 seconds). I think I'm going to have to take it to the computer repair shop.
You said it didnt fix it. Didnt fix what issue? Yes, if the monitor worked before and does not now, theres a good chance a cable came loose or something :(
@@PC_Monkey The power button wouldn't turn the computer on.I removed the battery and then pushed the power button for 1 minute to drain it. Then I put the battery back in but it still wouldn't turn on. Then I drained it again and then tried it without the battery and only plugged into the wall plug. It turned on for about 3 seconds and turned off again.Tried many times and the same thing. Then I took out com battery from motherboard. I took it to repair shop today and they said the computer is dead. I'm going to get a second opinion.

Hey! So, my Husband has a Dell Inspiron 17-3421, we just moved, we kept it in a bag & made sure that it was moved safely, now it is no longer turning on. I've already redone his thermal paste & checked everything. It shows powering on, the fan kicks on for 1 second, then all lights go off, everything stops, no boot. I'm going through all of your videos, I don't think this is a black screen issue. Thank you, in advance, if you're able to get back to me!
Hello I have the same problem with my dell inspiron but when I took out everything and connect the charger the light no longer goes off but the light from the charging port still does not turn on. Please can you help me with this?
I've got a laptop that lights up but screen stays black, then it seems to "restart" - the lights go off, come back on, so a loop I suppose. But if I hit F1 during the loop or ESC it does seem to take me to the startup screen and either to boot options or straight to windows. Is it worth trying this fix, or is this some sort of "feature" I've possibly enabled? I've done the static trick etc from your other video and the battery once I get the machine on seems to be holding charge...
Hi, I must say you have very interesting and more so, very relevant topics to help people that are not too tech savvy, so kudos to you. I own a DELL VOSTRO 1710 laptop with 2GB RAM. I am getting to the stages where i have to replace my CMOS battery but have picked up an error with my separate keyboard and separate plug in mouse (not mouse pad) The problems are both are not working 100%. My keyboard jumps all around with letters being typed and the mouse scrolls up continually. The only way I have to stop it is by using the UP/DOWN keys on the keyboard, then it will stop for a short while, then carry on again. I have a funny feeling this may be a USB problem although Ive never had USB problems in the past. Maybe its the battery on the CMOS who knows. Please assist with your knowledge and experience. Thank you so much.
Sounds like a keyboard issue. Try 'reseating' the keyboard ribbon cable from both ends. If that does not help, try the steps seen here after the physical key replacement; ruclips.net/video/wqrchfpdJ_w/видео.html

It’s lucky you’re using exact same laptop I’m trying to bring back to life lol. Just took out my BIOS, and the timer has been set to one hour. Fingers crossed this works because the previous steps failed. I’ve liked and subscribed keep it up. 👍
UPDATE: I’m pleased to report BIOS reset has done the trick for me. 😃🙌 My dead laptop that wouldn’t turn on no matter what I did is now back to life. It’s working better than ever, so thank you so much for the excellent information. 👊
Sleep mode just absolutely sucks on my Dell XPS 13 “. My battery gets drained to near zero many times a month and over time I’ve noticed it wreaks havoc on tbe Bios.
My machine was getting stuck at shutdown with the fans blowing and not able to turn off and my clock was constantly off.
After watching this video I decided to reset the cmos battery even though my machine would boot and turn on. So glad I did it !!! This fixed my problem!!! I’m still wondering about keeping this laptop as Sleep mode on a Mac OS just works.
Any suggestions on how to configure my laptop to perform sleep better would be appreciated or do I just shutdown each time ?
I forgot to turn off my laptop it was on sleep mode when I try to turn on its power button light start and after a few seconds it turns off. I reset the CMOS battery but it still doing the same thing. Kindly help
Same man

remove the CMOS battery and insert it again after 30 min will work for me.
I repeatedly pressed enter upon start up and it seemed to help.
I spilled a small bit of water on it wasn't too bad so I turned up side down to let it drain. i turned it on after that and it worked fine. so i turned it off and let it charge. then when i went to turn it back on nothing. tried all the steps in your first video nothing. now im resetting the cmos battery and if that doesnt work I will cry. I loved that laptop. I hope this works. why would the cmos battery be affected after water being spilled is there a fuse anywhere?
whenever i turn on my laptop the lights blink and then nothing happens after that

Dafuq Malone for how lond did you leave the cmos battery unplugged
I'm on this video now, got a right charger for the hp 430 g3 and i've taken apart the laptop in order to remove the cmos battery.. In fact i tried placing a new one in there prior but still same symptoms. Funny thing is, the moment i plug the charger the led in power button and charger button lights up and then turns off. Same thing for when i put the battery back in. So I just taken out the cmos battery again and will leave it out for an hour or so and i'll try to put it back in and test more. I really hope i could get this laptop fixed because it's a really nice laptop and would make a great gift to someone in need. Thank you for your time and expertise. I will keep you posted.

Hello, I have a Dell Latitude E747Q: I repaired the computer successfully but after I created a standard account and rebooted the computer then before the post screen it said "Locked" and shutdown. Now it will will just start and shutdown. I have never seen or experienced this "Locked" scenario. Is this a new Windows 10 thing? How to fix it?
I don't fully understand if I should replace the battery with a new one or just pop it out, leave it for an hour and then pop the same one in. Also, "draining the motherboard", should I turn the computer on for this. Sorry, I am completely clueless about these things.
BTW my laptop is a Dell Latitude E5410.
Thank you for your help!
In order to reset BIOS its best to have the main computer battery out and the power cord unplugged. Then you remove the CMOS battery for up to 20 minutes and then put the same one back in. That resets BIOS.
Is that what your trying to do?

Great video, really informative, i have encountered an issue, i used the first method by pressing the power button after releasing the battery, it worked at first but after shutting it down it required to do the same step as before for it to turn on again
Every time you start your computer you have to perform the static release procedure?
@@PC_Monkey yes, what might be the problem?
@@AnalogueSpam Do you use your computer with a healthy surge protector or do you just plug the computer into the outlet? Also, the battery or charger may be going bad. Try running the computer for a day or two with just the charger by removing the battery. Does the problem continue?
Is there a way to test the hard drive once you can remove it and access it, and what special tools or equipment are needed, ie: VOM meter, oscilla scope or any other specialized equipment??

I saw in the Lenovo video for resetting bios, that you would have to fix the date/time stuff if the laptop turned on after resetting or it could screw up the system. Is this the same for Dell, or does Dell not require the fix?
Yes. In any computer that uses BIOS, the Time/Date settings need to be correct in BIOS

I changed the CMOS battery on my old Dual Core Dell desktop after problems (F1) booting. I had the old battery out only a very few minutes quickly popping the new CMOS battery in place, and immediately the computer worked great but had mysteriously lost all sound.
I have replaced the drivers and refreshed (or reset) Windows 10.The sound system is not recognized as even being present by the computer. Would leaving the new battery out of its case to reset the BIOS perhaps solve this problem with the sound?
Thank you so much for your help!!!

My Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series boots to the BIOS recovery screen after getting the Dell opening screen. Selecting any of the 3 BIOS recovery options (Recover BIOS, Reset BIOS Settings to Default, Rollback BIOS) appears to work (progressing to the “Updating your firmware” and “Firmware update successful. Rebooting your system” screens, but it always reboots to the BIOS recovery menu. I ran this process, and the CMOS battery voltage is good (3.04v) . How can I get this laptop to exit the loop and actually boot to the Operating System?
1. Are you able to run the diagnostic scan as seen here? ruclips.net/video/B2Umoh81QeI/видео.html
2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
I've enquired about my issue in one of your videos elsewhere. After going through this video, I think it's BIOS related. I need to reset the BIOS as advised by you. My issue is, since my Vaio laptop battery isn't in working condition i use it by connecting directly and power is on. Lights blink. Fan runs but there's no display, i.e. the laptop is not turning on. In such situation can I connect the laptop with an external monitor or an led tv to check if it's okay? Now, if there's display what does that signify? Also, please confirm connecting the laptop with an external monitor is advisable? The laptop screen went black when the boot mode changed from LEGACY to UEFI thus the black screen. Do you think by taking out the CMOS battery will reset the BIOS?
Thank you so much. That really helped my fix my Dell Inspiron.

Hello! Are you supposed to factory reset while the CMOS battery is out, or do you need to put it back in before doing that?
If your trying to factory reset your operating system, its best to have the CMOS battery plugged in and everything in the computer working as it should be.
Hello, thanks for the videos, I have the one when the battery is wrapped in tape with a cable. How can I disconnect the cable without break something?
You would unplug the cable from the motherboard :)
@@PC_Monkey thanks i did watched all the videos and it is still not going on. I have a Dell laptop Latitude E7270. And it is not turning on at all. Checked the battery, port and adapter and did an bios reset.
I am doing this because i forgot the bios password on a laptop that was not being used. I tried to find the password using generators found online that use the service tag but that did not work. Will this reset the password?
Unfortunately, I do not assist with bypassing BIOS Passwords on this channel.
@@PC_Monkey Understood. I will just remove the HDD to rescue the pics and music I have there and scrap the laptop.
Does replacing the CMOS battery require a factory reset or can it be replaced without doing a reset?
My computer was beeping 5x when turned on and still working. I just removed the actuall computer battery and plugged in the power jack and it now works without beeping. I should mention that I have gotten pop up notices saying "the battery has failed" so I guess I should get a new main battery before worrying about those beeps?
My dell inspiration 15r is giving a single beep and not starting. I did some research, and it seems like it's a problem with the bios? Should I try changing the battery for bios reset first? Would that fix that? or should I try replacing the bios chip?
Thanks for the help. Your videos are really helpful.
Yes, you can replace the CMOS battery. They are usually pretty cheap :)
@@PC_Monkey thank you for the reply. I will let you know if it fixes the problem. And, thanks for getting back to me too quick. It was a huge help. I didn't know about your channel before, but now I am a huge fan of it. Will definitely recommend it to others. Thanks again.

Hi, My Dell laptop does 5 beeps when turning on the black screen. When I do bios reset and it goes back to factory will all my saved files/ms office be deleted?
No, a BIOS Reset will not erase any data as long as the Hard Drive is good. However, 5 Beeps on a Dell usually refer to a Processor Failure. And usually, since the Motherboard or the CPU Socket will go before a CPU will, I would assume your Motherboard needs to be replaced.
Thank you for the good explained videos and the extreme details. I have a question though, what if the laptop turns on for about 5 seconds and dies out, the screen turns on only with the back light sort of grey but nothing on it. I can hear the fan running etc during these 5 seconds. Any idea?

3 beeps is usually a Motherboard: Chipset error. First run the Dell Diagnostics as seen here; ruclips.net/video/IsqINCxx_Ik/видео.html. If that shows no errors, try to perform a BIOS Reset as seen here; ruclips.net/video/kTYlxcL1cQc/видео.html.

If this is a Windows password, you would have to factory reset windows. Assuming you have a Dell computer, you can see that here; ruclips.net/video/IE1zShTb0rU/видео.html. If this is a BIOS password your talking about, unfortunately, I dont advise on how to bypass that on this channel. Your symantec software would be Windows related so you would need to do a factory reset. The CMOS battery operation wont have any effect on that.

I watched the process, a message said keep the computer plug in, do not interrupt etc.
Finally the computer sort of shutdown for a restart.
I thought the bios flash was completed fine.
However, the laptop never restarted itself.
Hours later, i powered on the laptop, but it would not switch on, even after several attempts.
What should i do?
1. Are there any signs of life at all when you try to turn it on? Lights? Fan, Motherboard, or Hard Drive sounds? Anything seen on the screen?
2. For a computer that does not turn on, try this video first; ruclips.net/video/HHwzA37r4e8/видео.html. Let me know how that goes :)
Did everything you said in this video and still getting the 5 beep code should I just go buy a new battery for the cmos?
1. You have a Dell? Can you try the RAM test as seen here? ruclips.net/video/7a7UKd8vna8/видео.html
2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
What happens when you have an bitlocker encrypted Nvme S2 SSD (short) on the laptop Dell 3310 and do the bios reset?
Hi I was just on my home screen then the error screen came which said we will automatically restart it for u then it kept going on and the laptop didn't turn on is this a virus or something cuz I also did the system check and there was no failure plz tell what to do :( :(
Sorry, Im not clear on your issue. So your computer wont turn on at all now?
@@PC_Monkey yes u r right .....
it is a hp laptop
I took out the cmos battery- left it out for over an hour and it didn't fix it. I must have missed a cable somewhere when reattaching the motherboard. Because now the monitor doesn't turn on at all (it used to turn off by itself after about 2 seconds). I think I'm going to have to take it to the computer repair shop.
You said it didnt fix it. Didnt fix what issue? Yes, if the monitor worked before and does not now, theres a good chance a cable came loose or something :(
@@PC_Monkey The power button wouldn't turn the computer on.I removed the battery and then pushed the power button for 1 minute to drain it. Then I put the battery back in but it still wouldn't turn on. Then I drained it again and then tried it without the battery and only plugged into the wall plug. It turned on for about 3 seconds and turned off again.Tried many times and the same thing. Then I took out com battery from motherboard. I took it to repair shop today and they said the computer is dead. I'm going to get a second opinion.
@@kierstenh9225 If you have tried the first video and you have tried the BIOS Reset, then the next step would be to test your charger and power jack as shown here;

I have tried out all the thing, as you mentioned

2.charger is ok
3.bios rest done.
4.charger port is working.
5.battery is changing.
But laptop not turing on what should i do?
If you have already tried the first troubleshooting video, and then came here to try the BIOS reset, then you would next test the charger and port as seen here;

Hey!
So, my Husband has a Dell Inspiron 17-3421, we just moved, we kept it in a bag & made sure that it was moved safely, now it is no longer turning on. I've already redone his thermal paste & checked everything.
It shows powering on, the fan kicks on for 1 second, then all lights go off, everything stops, no boot.
I'm going through all of your videos, I don't think this is a black screen issue.
Thank you, in advance, if you're able to get back to me!

Hello I have the same problem with my dell inspiron but when I took out everything and connect the charger the light no longer goes off but the light from the charging port still does not turn on. Please can you help me with this?

I've got a laptop that lights up but screen stays black, then it seems to "restart" - the lights go off, come back on, so a loop I suppose. But if I hit F1 during the loop or ESC it does seem to take me to the startup screen and either to boot options or straight to windows. Is it worth trying this fix, or is this some sort of "feature" I've possibly enabled? I've done the static trick etc from your other video and the battery once I get the machine on seems to be holding charge...
You can also try running the Dell diagnostic test as seen here; ruclips.net/video/IsqINCxx_Ik/видео.html
See if it finds any issues.
my pc shuts down 3 times once powered up and i have to open windows with f12 or f2 what can I do to solve this?
Hi, I must say you have very interesting and more so, very relevant topics to help people that are not too tech savvy, so kudos to you. I own a DELL VOSTRO 1710 laptop with 2GB RAM. I am getting to the stages where i have to replace my CMOS battery but have picked up an error with my separate keyboard and separate plug in mouse (not mouse pad) The problems are both are not working 100%. My keyboard jumps all around with letters being typed and the mouse scrolls up continually. The only way I have to stop it is by using the UP/DOWN keys on the keyboard, then it will stop for a short while, then carry on again. I have a funny feeling this may be a USB problem although Ive never had USB problems in the past. Maybe its the battery on the CMOS who knows. Please assist with your knowledge and experience. Thank you so much.
Sounds like a keyboard issue. Try 'reseating' the keyboard ribbon cable from both ends. If that does not help, try the steps seen here after the physical key replacement; ruclips.net/video/wqrchfpdJ_w/видео.html
