My Dell laptop is locked by the administrator with his password. Model number PP31l. Thank you for any help Larry Ng.

each dell series , year (2008 here) AND MODELS AND SUB MODELS WILL HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS TO RESeT BIOS PW. (if not TPM locked that is, TPM is magic hard nut security chip and feature do not turn it on is bestthe PW is so strict in you case that all bios HOT KEYS ,WILL BE DEAD AND ONLY GAIN YOU THEpassword locked question small window.... this is Admin locked. (best is never use this unless work for CIA.the problem is Dell will not help now, back in say 2009 yes, but now with zero purchase receipts slot online.the classic history of this problem is complex but here is a macro list of historymost PC deskops have jumper for Pw_CLR. not laptops.1: remove coin cell battery, (a new one is necessary later, and NVRAM resets PW. (many old PCs do this)2: then EEPROM PC dedicated chip stored. th back door PW can work.3: later they only allow burning this chip( programmer eeprom) with a new BIN file (binary ROM)4: and last TPM clocked, this needs new mother board or direct DELL intervention. to cure it (a burn file)the hope for you is back door PW , built in to the PC, hit enter 3 times to see the hint in the box. popupif you see that be happy as there is a cure.as you can see each year gets progressively more difficult, avoid using any BIOS PW. or the whole PC and all data you held is gone. for sure not turn on TPM in BIOS if seen slot online ,and last of all, you never said BIOS nor windows PWwhen posting about PW show your locked screen we can not see now. so we can see what PW CLASS it is.good luck recovering your PC.

Remove power and the battery. Replace the power lead and boot normally. Check all is OK power down, add the battery and re boot. Don't use sleep mode it can cause untold issues.

Where is BIOS Chip of Dell G3 3779 laptop, located?

Great answer Larry Larry Ng Aug 27, 2021 what a great question that is, and all time first here, I think first off you you looked at all chip on them MOBO and not the CPU or south bridge. you;d find it, it is usually a 6 or 8 pin SMD chip (a serial flash, EEPROM,. surely you can just look, and find it, the makers are few. like micron or winbond, etc. it is most times closest, to the huge south bride chip , not CPU nor GPU chip. the south bridge loads it at power on time , one of its little jobs.. using 1 wire, serial. i see an 8 pin behind the centered fan jack. south bridge is Mobile Intel HM370 chipset dell no tell you this, it is there design. do you know logos of EEPROM that be first to learn so when you see that logo on 8 pins its bingo moment near the 370 chip; the 370 has SPI pin for flash. the data sheet at intel.com shows, all SPI pins, SPI-I/O pin is one, key pin., what dell used for EEPROM is not documented. it is sold here https://www.laptopschematic.com/dell-g3-... Compal LA-F611P. (secret name) page 17 in the schematic it shows. p17 shows winbond. W25Q256JVEIQ W25Q128JVSIQ there is 2 chips, and are COLAYED. oops, mouser.com sells both. the first chip IS WSON package there is NO CLIPS that fit Solder balls. on the bottom, period. this page is my serial progress. hop it teaches how to find the chip,. PS free schematic here https://www.hisahtech.com/dell-cal53-la-... click download bar get PDF full. for free.

My Dell XPS 8700 seems to run fine but gives 2 beeps every five minutes. Any ideas on cause?

Beeps are not unusual when starting up a computer. It is not Normal for Beeps to be consistent. Sometimes repetitive beeps are a signal the Video section may experiencing mixed signals, battery power is unstable, overheating of fan or heatsinks are indicated. Perhaps you may wish to have the system checked by a professional to avoid a FUTURE disaster.

I have a Dell Inspiron 14 5000 2-in1 laptop that won’t boot on when starting up. I get a blank screen. How do I get past that screen.

It might just be the fact that your laptop has died on you. Or it could be that the screen has quit working and needs to be replaced.It could be an issue with the hard drive.
