Take the battery off, wait ten minutes to put the battery back, it should work to the next time, the next time can be day, month or years, if it keep being a problem there are 2 solutions by dell
a) Install a bios upgrade b) change the keyboard plate
If you are out of warranty b) can be expensive, for a) you should use the dell website to download the bios upgrade and follow the instructions
The full discharge usually resolves the problem for months (Mine has 2 years without incidents)

It is at the base of the screen, right below the LCD. Here is a diagram:

Let me know if you need further assistance. Changing the inverter isn't very difficult.

Good luck!!

On Ebay it would be a little bit over a $100 with free shipping if you go to this link:

The auction isn't mine but that price is great considering thru Google shopping the prices were running double at about $200.

Hello,

Since you have reinstalled your Operating System, you will have to reinstall all the drivers for your devices and other functionality to work properly.

The best way to obtain the correct drivers for your new Operating System is to download them directly from the manufacturer's support website.

Go to the Dell Support website > Drivers & Downloads page.

Here is the direct link for your Dell Studio Laptop 1749 : Drivers & Downloads for Dell Studio Laptop 1749.

Select your Operating System and you will be able to download the correct drivers.

Hope this helps you.

AS YOU ON THE SYSTEM AND EVEN BEFORE WINDOWS STARTS KEEP PRESSING THE F8 KEY CONTINUEOUSLY. A MENU WILL APPEAR. SELECT SAFE MODE AND ENTER. WINDOWS WILL LOAD IN SAFE MODE. THIS WILL SOLVE SOME OF YOUR PROBLEMS. NOW RESTART THE SYSTEM IN NORMAL MODE.

IF THIS DOES NOT WORK SELECT "LOAD WINDOWS WITH LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION " AND THEN RESTART. THIS WILL SURELY SORT OUT YOUR PROBLEM.

PLS REPLY OR COMMENT. THANKS

Make sure the battery is well seated in the laptop. If that doesn't work, the battery may be going bad and you will need a replacement. I've had to replace my Dell's battery twice since I got it about 4 years ago.

hi there, is your DVD rom combo type? if not! they cannot read a regular CD only DVD. if yes! i suggest try other audio player. you can search free download on Google. thanks

problem with your charger or battery

usuaully you would just move the mouse cursor or pres a key on the keyboard to put the screen back on?

if your screen hasn't timed out, the laptop may have gone into standby or hibernation mod?
this would mean the video is no longer uploading to youtube

goodluck

the quickest way to test this is to try connecting the computer to an external monitor. another thing you can do is to reseat the LCD cable from the motherboard. I would recommend you use another computer to check the manual at support.dell.com in order to get the step by step walkthrough. on the manuals use the one for removing/replacing the LCD to see how to remove the LCD cable and reconnect it back to the system.

re-install windows

There may be several physical problems. You should make sure that the battery is properly plugged in and no switches that allow it to be removed are in the open position. Checking that the power cord if plugged in proper at the laptop, the power brick, and the power outlet may also solve the problem. If none of these work, try using a different power cord that fits your laptop if you can get your hands on one. You may also want to try a different power outlet, or make sure that power outlet can power another device (eg vacuum, phone) so you know if it's actually a problem with that power outlet and not your computer.

If you battery doesn't charge even with a cable that you know works for another computer, and the outlet is working properly, your battery may be corroded or suffering from over-use over a long period of time. In this case it would be best to buy a replacement battery directly from Dell which you can do here:

Hi Bickett,

to turn on your Wifi on your laptop, search for a button which looks like a satellite and press it with your fingers to turn it on.

Hope this helps, good luck!

First, make sure that the CD/DVD disc is not heavily scratched or damaged.
If not, then the drive's lens needs to be cleaned.
Try to clean it with a lint free cotton cloth & see if this helps.
If not, then most probably the Cd/DVD drive will need to be replaced.

press together "fn" key and "NumLk" key..

your haveing a start up driver problem you will need to put reboot disc in to fix it.

Sounds like the CD may be going bad. You can eject the CD by pushing a paper clip in the little hole near the tray. Do that and clean it out with compressed air.
If it keeps acting that way, replace the drive.

• You can simply go to support.dell.com and select the model of your laptop to get the manual so you can easily take the keyboard apart and to put it back in successfully
• You can also type in the service tag of your DELL computer so can easily navigate to the manual section for your computer

You will either have the 'restore' disk or it'll be on a partition of it's own.

Insert disk and boot it up. Follow on-screen instructions.

Or go to menu from XP and look for 'restore' option and use that.
