SULUHISHO: LAPTOP IKISHIWA CHAJI NA KUGOMA KUWAKA

Unaweza ukatumia laptop yako mpaka chaji ikaisha na ulipoenda kuichaji ikagoma kuwaka kwa kitaa cha kuashiria Laptop kuwaka kikawaka na kuzimika. Na ulipo jaribu kuiwasha bila ya betri mabo yakaendeleea kuwa kama awali.

Tatizo hilo hutokana na labda bios ya labtop yako bado inasoma betri low ama Laptop yako ime harbernet baada ya chaji kuisha na kujizima moja kwa moja.

Unachotakiwa kufanya ili Laptop yako irejee katika hali ya kawaida ni haya yafuatayo:

  •  Chomoa betri ya laptop yako pamoja na cable ya umeme (adapter cable) kisha bonyeza sehemu ya kuwashia kwa takribani sekundi 30 bila kuachia. Kisha chomeka cable ya umeme kisha washa Laptop yako.
  • Ikikata kuwaka bonyeza kwa pamoja button ya "Fn" (laptop nyingi huwa maandishi yake yameandikwa kwa rangi ya blue) na buttun ya kuwashia. (i.e fanya zoezi hili bila ya kuchomeka betri na hakikisha adapter (cable ya umeme) umechomeka kwenye laptop yako.
  • Ikikataa toa optical drive na hard drive kisha uwashe
Maelezo zaidikwa watumiaji wa dell D630

Does this D630 have nVidia graphics or Intel? If nVidia it might be the nVidia GPU has failed. In that case there is a warranty extension of an additional 12 months for that issue alone.
Try removing the battery and try to power on using the power brick.

Then try holding down the blue "Fn" key and press the power on at the same time. Then let go both key and button. Did that do anything?

Otherwise remove the optical drive and the hard drive. And try to power on.
Otherwise remove and reseat both the memory sodimms and try to power on. One is under a cover on the bottom. The other is under the keyboard. Quite easy to remove. The instructions are on the Dell website in the D630 service manual.


No start with no battery, hard drive, optical drive, all periperals removed and reseated memory sounds like a hardware failure. (You did reseat the module under the keyboard?) Holding down the blue"Fn" key at power on with all that removed should have started the pre-boot diagnostics. If that did not start then there is little you can do except remove the motherboard from the system and strip everything from it, leave one ram module in the top slot and then plug in an external screen, power on the board and see does it start. (To power on the board you may need to re-connect the internal keyboard.) If that fails try the other ram module in the top slot. The top slot is the one under the keyboard.

It is also possible that the issue is a broken DC power socket, these can be fixed by a specialist. Try applying sustained but gentle pressure in an upwards direction to the DC plug when plugged into the laptop. If this fails try downwards pressure and then left and right. Wiggling is not enough as it take some seconds for the system to react.

It might also be that  the systemboard is faulty. This might be because the nVida GPU has failed. Mostly nVidia failure produces funny video on the screen, but a total failure is also possible that will prevent the system booting. If the system is less than 12 months out of warranty then Dell should fix it under a special extended warranty.

If the system is not covered, then you need a new system board. The good news is that these Dell D630s are worth repairing. In a number of respects they are faster than some brand new systems.

If you go to the Dell website and enter your service tag you should be able to see the original spec of your your system. IE. Whether or not it had Intel of nVidia graphics. A new system board with Intel graphics is interchangeable with the nVidia except for the heatsink. So if you need a new systemboard, look for an Intel and also a heatsink with thermal pads.
