older vostros usually have a broken dc jack right where the power connector plugs in. otherwise try another ac adapter and also try removing and replacing the battery underneath.
Let's hope that the bios upgrade wasn't corrupt. Remove the battery and unplug power source from wall. Wait about 1 to 2 minutes, then reinsert battery, and plug adapter back in, and see if it will power up. If not, let me know,I might have another suggestion.
This "can" be malware, but is most likely your pointer device going wonky. First unplug the mouse, trackball, or whatever it is you are using for a mouse. If you are still using an old PS2 connection (round plug), consider getting a USB mouse to replace it.
Plug your mouse back in and see if it solves the problem.
Try a new mouse.
If it's not the mouse (you just said the cursor is moving) it could be that the left arrow on your keyboard is stuck. In that case, rake your keyboard, tap ******* the arrow keys, turn over the keyboard and shake out any large Cheeto crumbs, use compressed air (if possible) to blow the dust out.
Unplug your keyboard from the computer and plug it back in. If you are still using the old PS2 keyboard (round plug), consider getting a USB keyboard to replace it. *** warning
*** warning, do NOT throw out the old PS2 plug keyboard if you replace it. You may need it to get into the BIOS some time in the future if the electronics don't recognize a USB keyboard on boot.
hi there.
Get a fine sewing pin and put a little hook on the end (about 2mm hook) get the hook in behind the card and gently tug. You may have to use a second pin without hook to guide the card up or down.
I used sewing needle to pry it out--picking at it from the front on the sides and bottom. (It's made of soft plastic and I don't mind if I damage it.) Eventually it came out. YEA!
take some tweezers and pull it out of the card reader thats how I got mine out
A thin pointed knife and 1 chopstick on each side - ejected in less than 30 seconds....
this is all i could find out,hope you get it sorted.
Those are not simple problems. From your description, you probably gonna need to replace both the screen/flat cable and the keyboard (these parts just can't be repaired, must be replaced).
Can imaging old systems of windows 2000. cyclic redundancy check is memory error. It occurs when data cannot be read properly from any type of memory. It can be hard disk, RAM, or CD/DVD drive. Please mention, hardware specifications properly. Is it having USB mouse or old ps2 type. If having more than one ram, try running with only 1 ram at a time. Before removing RAMs make sure you set page file settings to system managed. If RAM is ruled out then it could be hard drive. Windows 2000 does support optical mouse, is your system has ps2 port for mouse and keyboard instead of USB? Before investing more on old machine, I think you should consider purchasing new system or second hand.
Hoping this video will be of some help for you.

Thank you.
Dell site should have info regarding the removal of old drive. Then install new drive in its place and install the recovery disks that you got or made. Hopefully the new drive will come with the software to prepare the drive for loading although some of the newer OS disks will do it for you.
It is time to replace the hard drive for the spot where the mouse drivers are is bad so that means it will not be long before the hard drive stops working so time to back everything up while you can and get a new hard drive
Check both the power and data cables. Disconnect and reconnect them several times to polish the contacts. If that doesn't solve the problem, then you'll have to replace the drive.
First of all Google and download a neat little piece of software called ...... speccy
Run speccy and check all the information for the optical drive.
Locate the manufacturers support site and download the latest driver.
