e210882, so we must guess what PC this is?is it?WOW you got me, let me guess a ebay trash mobo sold neat there. and you read that e210882 (BUGUS #)

Just had the same problem... what worked for me was simple. Unplug the cable from the monitor, hit the power button a few times until Dell screen poped up with a few color bars because it knew it was no longer connected to a PC. Then plugged the cable back in and all was fixed.

Turn off the laptop by holding the Power button and restart the laptop. You should get the normal screen.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.


Thanks you for choosing Fixya

jacker same PC? the coin cell battery RTC is dead, and can not be ignored like that ever. Dell Dimension 4300 Bios A06 Intel 845 chipset relic. P4 (400hz /2Ghz max) not told by all, buy a dead PC did you?, or dumpster dived it ?? when did PC laST RUN Perfectly not told, at all, wow, history ZERO 000000000 F9xxxxxxxxx is firmware, above F8xxxxxxxxxx or failed out of the blue and casing never opened by you? (messed with) rules of RAM, DDR. a 2001, (no typo) relic and useless PC for sure. no modern OS runs here.!!!! those are POST errors for DDR1 banks. 2 slots of ram. DDR1 old not new with ******* high density ram. test them 1 by 1 , at a time in bank 0, channel A slot???????? 512 MB max per slot, so , 2 slots are 1GB max. per the manual I read to you PC133 (non-ECC or ECC) and not Registered, RAM, SDRAM only , buffered. the ram must be in matched sets, same SKU means same exact P/N# intel and dell told you that and MMC is intels chip. The bios must like any ram you buy, MUST. this mobo has 4 LED panel for 4 bit binary POST errors what does the 4 LED codes show. 4 yellow is bad bios, means cannot finish POST and more. in the free manual this relic has no VGA port on mobo at all that means only a PCI video card is allowed, to get video that means it can fail when it tries to steal, VRAM from DDR1 bank. sure can , try other VGA cArd? oops wrong this PC has AGP slot and we all know from 2001 year 1/2 the AGP 4x cards made do not work here, only DELLs list , work. 4x/2x modes at 1.5 V , using 3.3v AGP card will blow up(smoke) some dual voltage cards do work but only in DELLS LIST 32bit only. we all hated AGP then , it is a huge horror. then. PCI video works better. try one for $5 used, PCI not PCI-express does not fit here. as you can see I can not see your PC and all things connected no what VGA card you have exactly and matters first. VRAM issues. reading old dell form real posts at dell 1. 6200 nVidia AGP for basic work, light low level settings in games. 2. 6600 nVidia AGP for mid to low end gaming. 3. 6600 GT AGP, good over all lower mid level card for gaming, that would be my least choice for your system. 4. 7600 GS AGP, for lower mid level gaming 5. 7600 GT AGP, for a good over all card for your system and power supply. do not attempt OC, overclocking or it will fail this $9 at flea bay, 10 times PCs value. 21 years old

why not just do it and listen or use AUDACITY , FREE APP pc IS RELIC

BIOS admin or windows login/ we can not see your screen sorry can not. sounds like windows log in screens. to me. so reload the OS using he recovery key in your free manual at dell.com

well , it has no such thing , look at he mobo , the GPU is soldered down and there is no PCI-express slot there, so there is no such thing why not just post my video is dead to LCD and external monitor jack both. The LCD here uses a CCFL back lamps that die even 5 years old the flash light test proves that as does the external monitor jack Fn+F4 enabled (hot key) there is no card, post evidences and stop listening to desktop gamers./ jive kings. ok? do the flash light test first posted here 1000 times now. nothing new here. its pre 2010 PC junk https://www.pcdied.com/monitors_and_screens/flash-light-trick.html#flashlighttest in dim room power on PC while pointing FLASH light to CLD face (screen) see data, ops, CCFL dead. if yes. and data at ALL.

connected how, 3.5mm jack (mic port) or USB mic like mine i can connect both and then in the mixer sound windows click on mic input I want control panel sound recording tab , pick one./ if usb fails try all USB ports. my usb mic real fancy with built in sound effects even echo and more. there are like a gazillion types of mics now, boom mics and gee and endless list. even gun mics. to avoid noise , near by. no mic told, at all no OS told ,windows guessed a usb mic also must show up in device manager or will fail

no PC told , at all, model not told ok generic mode. 1: huge battery inside is bad, shorted remove it , even for ever. 2: run on AC power only now. 3: push power button 10 full seconds release, ,runs now? 4: no, remove all USB devices now. run now? 5: no, coin cell battery dead, , replace it , run nolw 6: no. strip the PC down to find the shorted model. lap-strip-101 https://www.pcdied.com/Dead_screens/dead-LT.html

NO if you do, a noob will blow it to kingdom come. as in letting the smoke out. the power-pack does 3 things it has the correct DC voltage and wattages and #2 prevents fire when the PC fails and things short inside. and prevents huge damaging surges landing inside the PC buy used power pack off fleabay and win. i bet I'd mow one lawn and and buy one

dell.com go there , it is there and is free

to what, no PC told no OS told windows locked you out BIOS admin, or HDD locked or power on locked out?<< all bios. or bitlocker locked out or any of its 100 clones

this makes zero sense. 1: posts where , not told 2: games what games where local , or at steam or where? 3: what plugins where? not told tell what you are attempting to do , and where.using what. no PC told NO OS told no problem clearly stated (sad face)

can;t log in now or what? what does change mean, lost it and now can not get in or means just want to change it , logged in. NO PC told and NO OS told or if bios admin or windows admin. bios or windows. both are hacking./ if lost. so google the cure.

well get the driver from Puppy no PC told at all , making any answer impossible and no wireless card full p/N told. oops dells can have 3 or more card choices new or like mine have modern 801.11ax card here wifi6 and only my intel.com driver worsk the driver is a 3way match. OS, CARD and on laptops more, (more is control buttons working) dell does not block cards at all ,like nasty HP does, dell is bliss. nobody can guess what card you have, Impossible.

guild? ahhhhh GUIDE ! dell.com go there get it. no PC told no model. just dell, vast models exists. no 2 the same dell.com enter service tag RTM

this is hacking now dell told you NO ! so you think we are hackyah.com learn to google hacks no PC told at all but seems like a laptop asking for backdoor PW so google the correct way google "Dell bios back door password" do it and pay the man. pay them. end. it.

no PC told, no OS told age matters. you do not use this PC every day then forget if HDD PW as set? did kid play on moms PC and wreck it. on old PCs over 7 years old the COIN cell is dead(battery) and now BIOS lies to you in vast and random ways, due to that fact. no PC told no exact answers possible. blind
