Hi. I'm new here, but I come to you asking for help.
My Dell XPS m1530 is having an issue and won't work properly.
Example:
Turn on, no boot screen. Fans at first sound as normal, then they sound as if it's in sleep mode. Not off, but almost.
So far I've tried everything I can think of:
Cleaning the inside, turning it on with and without the battery, letting it stay on for about 15-20 minutes then trying again, pressing Fn while it turns on, holding Ctrl Alt and Del while it turned on (worth a shot), and taking it apart then putting it back together (I'm pretty sure it's put together the right way).
To help you figure out the problem, here's what I know about it:
The screen connection isn't the best, so you can only get a clear picture when you have it at a certain angle. I know what you're thinking: hook it up to another monitor. Already did with no luck. It's about 3-4 years of age, although it works well for me. And it's a hand me down from my brother.
If there is any way you guys can help me, I would very much appreciate it!
