I have TWO dell studio 17 1737 laptops. One of them died on me and would not power up so I switched batteries from the one that worked which was full and it still did not power up. I removed the battery and attempted to power up only with the AC Adapter and that also did not work. Two hours later I opened the laptop and saw the orange light came on the side so i powered up and presto it turned on, but a minute later it shut down again and now I am back to square one - it will not even turn on - no lights - nada!!

It could be the connection for the battery is damaged in some way, my advice would to take it to a repair shop, let the pro's have a look, power problems should always be dealt with by someone qualified, for you own protection. good luck with it.

Dell studio 17 1745 laptop don't turn on anymore. Just hear DVD drive make a little noise ( normal when turning on ) then light flash as seen in video then dies.

That looks like a pre-programed system alert code to me that activates when a certain problem arises. Check your user's manual for system alerts. If no joy, try contacting Dell and simply ask them what that particular alert means. If they want to charge you (typical of these manufacturers) throw yourself on their tender mercy and say that you are not asking them to repair it, you only want to know where you can find what that alert means. It's worked for me in the past. Also try the Dell website for your model, they may have it posted there.

Dell STUDIO 1537 black screen on first boot up ??

The inverter maybe faulty, it supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp and would cause the screen to be black.
Since it was just repaired, I suggest you return it to Dell to have it repaired under warranty.

Dell studio 1737

No, the video cards on laptops are intergrated on the motheboard and can not be upgraded, in fact you can't even replace it with the same model. If it dies you have to replace the entire motherboard.

Dell Studio XPS Laptop Won't Boot

if the charging light doesn't come on i think it would be your power jack in your computer loose. this is not a home fix if so it would need to be sent off to get done. i would definitely suggest doing this especially if it is the problem and because if its under warrenty still they will fix it.
