run in a safemode windows. and remove your password then restart again your pc.

There is a switch on the very front of the laptop(about where your left wrist rests when you are typing)...It has a little wireless symbol on it. It is right where #7 is on the picture below

Try reseating the keyboard

if that doesn't resolve then replace the keyboard.
the cursor jumping while typing can be resolved by enabling touchcheck in the touchpad driver settings

try flashing the bios if windows is accesable or remove this little battery usualy under the keyboard and then take out the main battery and ac adapter for 15 mins

HI yellowlizard

these things always happen when you turn off your computer the wrong way (turn off the power directly from suiz or short circuit occurs) or damage to the operating system in general.
What you need to do is to repair your operating system using the operating system CD, do the chkdsk / r and fixboot.

regards

it is probably a program that starts up overloads the system resources, so everytime it starts it freezes. what you can do is go into safe mode (go into safe mode by hitting f8 right before windows logo comes up when you start your computer, or right after dell logo. either that, or if you restart it wrong, it should give you the option of going into safe mode) then when you log onto your account, a window will pop out, just click yes. then either go to start menu on run(if you have windows xp) and type msconfig. then a window will pop out, when it does, go to the startup tab, and uncheck all of the boxes. click ok, and click restart, (for windows 7 its the same thing but instead of using run, just type it in the search bar on the start menu). go to start windows normally, if it still doesnt work, when you restart it, go to last known configuration. Hope this helps. If you need any clarification, just let me know, ill check in. Goodluck

Pls open this website to get our Manual and you will get the Power Button of your Machine.

Pls dont forget to rate me as soon as you are through.

Take a Q tip and put a dab of rubbing alcohol, very carefully clean the Laser assembly eye in a circular motion lightly, allow several minutes to dry. I hope this will solve your problem, if you still have problems, go to ebay online and look up your make and model to look for a replacement.

If it is the BIOs password, read about how to reset it here: http://www.fixya.com/support/r7229632-reset_or_remove_bios_password

If it is in Windows and you have another account on your laptop that has administrator rights, log in into that account and change the password for your account. If you have an administrator account (even if you don't try putting in Administrator and leave password field blank) try using that account to reset the password, otherwise try one of the following:

- see this for XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321305
- or this for Vista/Win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/What-to-do-if-you-forget-your-Windows-password
- or if anything else didn't work you can use thrid party software from Hiren's Boot CD http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/Hirens.BootCD.12.0.zip

Hi Friend, As you have reinstalled Windows XP on the system then you have to install the drivers for the touch pad of the system so that the scroll can work on the system
I am giving you the link, I would request you to please download them and then install them and restart your system and then check.

Please let me know if it was of help

hi you will need to call dell @ 1 800 822 8965 - dell can provide a default password for that. after entering your default password hold down ctrl press enter twice it will disable the password.

Hi diane_snyder,

You can get the service manual for Dell Latitude E5500 from the dell website to help you remove and replace your DVD drive.

Click Here to go to the page that has the service manual. You cannot jump directly to the Optical Drive Section in the manual. You have to go step by step.
