My Dell Inspiron Model 3043 AIO boots up but has no cursor once booted.

No certain answer as cause is undiagnosed. Possible cause is a driver corruption. Another possible cause relates to a cabling issue, if you have an HDMI cable attached. These are wild shots in the dark. It could be anything from a bad power supply to a defective graphics card --or neither! In could even be a game corruption if you have been playing one that seizes control of the full screen. You can try to get to safe mode via pressing the power button three time, each time interupting the loading of windows quickly by pressing the power button again. You might get lucky on the fourth pressing of the power button and allowing it to complete the boot up. If you do get into simply safe mode, you might update your drivers. Or, you might from Safe Mode, run the DISM tool. If this does notw work, you might indeed have to reinstall the OS using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool and a flash drive, although that is certainly complicated by lack of a cursor which seems to stand in the way of accessing BIOS. You have not indicated what you were doing with the computer preceding this event nor the current OS, informaiton sometimes helpful in diagnosis.

find a conversion kit but are rare now after year 2010 and older had ccfl this mon is 2009 ,the last CCFLs all now are dead , most after 5 years time. so most were scrapped, do to $100 conversion kits. long ago most kits were for PC not old MONITORS> the kit makers closed up shop due to the fact no buyers now. all you can do is google, no need for me to do that for you. the LCD inside most times the not possible to do. this. ccfl ripped out and LED array put in and now the CCFL defuser fails for LED , looks very ugly the LED has new defuser where would you get that, IDK. most of these old MON are gone now, dumped. need LED array new need new defuser LCD for LED. new LED power supply and make all that fit, the monitor working is worth $20 and zero not. so why spend a all that labor and parts on old monitor just buy used one 2011 or newer used and cheap? Ive done this 2 ways the kit way , nice,(on PCs only) and hack way , and the DEFUSER looked like H3LL the LED make what call hot spots. too bright at LED points really the electrics are simple but not Defuser.

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.

(sure the bios page switch sure)1: YES, IT HAD THIS IN VERSION 1. It sure did, did you look first , ???2: TURN IT OFF OR ON; NOT TOLD but is moot point. so far, no needs told.3: DID YOU LOOK FIRST OR ASK HERE FIRST , FOR ALL 20 VERSIONS OF BIOS USED ON THAT PC.4; NO REASON TOLD WHY, TO BOOT DOS OF WINDOWS 95 IN MBR BOOT. MODE? NOT REASON TOLD.Did you forget to look first, ? or ask 1st to persons that have never seen all versions (20) on this series of PCthere are many in the series and sold in USA and outside and are NOT THE SAMENO PC TOLD>15 3000? (this is not a PC it is ONLY A SERIES)or ask at dell.com forum. but wait they will not talk to you lacking real model numbers in full or full service tag information told.. sorry that is how facts are learnedWHAT PC you have.yes some older models had a LEGACY setting in BIOS for sure.and most PC upgraded this is removed due to UEFI class 2 rules. or class 3.all mine are class2, and no legacy seen on any dell bios pageand I use GPT boots and in non secure boot mode.20 version of BIOS there, or more by country not told.if you meant use non secure boot.then the answer is here, (even told at Microsoft.com)to turn on secure boot is easy, just turn it on bios page.to go the other way is never easy. but here is how.backup all data. firstset bios to secure boot.then reload windows, fresh.not easy see?Legacy is a factory only for MBR boot drives, that are now banned or at last update BIOS now banned.or buy a PC that supports CSM mode, like my DIY ASUS, Z270PRIME , CSM IS THE LEGACY MODULE THEREDELLS HAVE NO CSM NOR WILL IT ALLOW TODAY TO REGRESS BIOS VERSIONS.TRUE AT MOST OEM MAKERS OF PC.

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.
