If your caps lock is on, it will tell you in windows when you are typing in your password.

SOURCE: power light comes on -

Can be one of three things:

Power not adequate enough for laptop - You can purchase a new power adapter relatively cheap from eBay for around $10.00. It may have been surged and will not allow the battery to charge or allow enough power to start the computer.

Bad battery - Take the battery out of the laptop and try it without. if it works, replace the battery or use without it.

Bad screen (inverter) - The inverter can be damaged. This can be caused by wear and tear, being dropped or other. The inverter is like a lamp that sits behind the screen. Take a flash light and place it directly into the screen to see if there is indeed a picture back there (will be very dim). If so, replace the inverter (difficult) or replace the screen (simple). Easier diagnosis would be to connect another monitor and see if it comes on (instead of the flashlight method).

Try reseating the RAM module(s) then see if the issue goes away. If no change, try them one at a time.

SOURCE: Dell Studio 1737 with Back lit keyboard but Cap Lock Doesn't Light

Dear Janice,
The light under the Caps key must have burned out. Take your laptop to a Dell service center and get it repaired.

How do I unlock my keyboard? On the top right hand corner there is a silver Dell button(that's what it looks like). There are 3 lights with 3 lock emblems, one has the number 9, one has the letter A a

Those "lock" lights are for the NUMLOCK, CAPS LOCK, and SCROLL LOCK features. With each press of the NUM LOCK key, the "9" should cycle on and off. With each press of the CAP LOCK key, The "A" light should cycle on and off, and so on.

Dell Studio 1737 with Back lit keyboard but Cap Lock Doesn't Light, replaced Keyboard less than 3 months ago, light worked then and went out just recently.

I'd try a different keyboard and see if the caps light works on that - so you can confirm whether it's the keyboard, or computer.

When i type in my password to unlock computer it says user name and password is incorrect

The user name or password is incorrect. Verify that CAPS LOCK is not on, and then retype the current user name and password. Or you must be trying a wrong password.

Make sure the caps are not locked. Look for a light on the keyboard somewhere indicating whether caps are locked or not. If locked , then unlock and try again.

Don't know how to unlock caps lock

There shoudl be a Caps Lock button on your keyboard....look on the left side of your keyboard between the Tab and Shift buttons.

Also, one way to see if your Caps Lock is on is to look on your keyboard, typically in the upper right hand corner and look for a light eminating from your keyboard and it should look like the letter A inside of an image of a palock, if the light is on then Caps Lock is on, just hit the Caps Lock key to turn off.

Dell Lattitude C840 Laptop

The 3 LED's (Num Lock, Caps Lock, Scroll Lock) are used by Dell to diagnose no-post issues such as yours. The only error code close to yours is [Num Lock ON, Caps Lock FLASHING, Scroll Lock ON]. This indicates a a memory error. Try reseating the memory modules. If you have 2 memory modules, insert one at a time to determine the faulty module.
