My E1705. When I power up the E1705 it comes to my Screen Page and doesn't finish initializing to where my tool bar or the program icons comes up. It just sits there for hours. I have tried to restore and it comes up the same. I have the lock #9 indicator on by the power button. Is computer locked up some how? Can I re-initalize it somehow to get it past this?

If the computer is booting up (you see the dell logo and then the windows logo) it could just be that your ram needs to be reseated, its very easy to do but if your not comfortable doing so any computer shop would be able to do it but most likely not for free. if that doesnt do it try to reseat the hard drive and or the wireless cards, any loose components can cause it to freeze, also if you have any USB Devices hooked to the computer during bootup make sure you remove them while troubleshooting. Past that it would be either a mechanical failure in the Harddrive of the computer or possibly failing memory or motherboard. You will need to do extensive troubleshooting to determine that. If you have a waranty with Dell they will walk you through the paces if your not sure what to do next you can ask me as well.
Good luck!

What kind of restore did you do with the E1705? Did you mean you retored it back to an earlier date? reinstalled the operating system? or did a PC Restore?
