Check the battery status light — If the battery status light flashes

orange or is a steady orange, the battery charge is low or depleted.

Connect the computer to an electrical outlet.

If the battery status light is off, the battery is too hot to charge. Turn off

the computer, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet, and then

let the battery and computer cool to room temperature.

If the battery status light rapidly flashes orange, the battery may be

defective. for technical assistance (see "Contacting Dell" in the Dell Owner's

Manual that came with your computer).

Test the electrical outlet — Ensure that the electrical outlet is working by

testing it with another device, such as a lamp.

Check the AC adapter — Check the AC adapter cable connections. If the

AC adapter has a light, ensure that the light is on.

Connect the computer directly to an electrical outlet — Bypass power

protection devices, power strips, and the extension cable to verify that the

computer turns on.

Eliminate possible interference — Turn off nearby fans, fluorescent

lights, halogen lamps, or other appliances.

Adjust the power properties — See the Tell Me How help file or search

for the keyword standby in the Help and Support Center (Help in Windows

2000). See "

Accessing Help."

Reseat the memory modules — If your computer has 192 MB or more of

RAM and the computer power light turns on but the display remains blank,

reseat the memory modules. If your computer has less than 192 MB of

RAM, you do not need to reseat the module.

To check how many MB of RAM your computer has:

● In Windows XP, click Computer Information.

● In Windows 2000, right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop,

and then click the General tab.
