...you could always try their Support wizard ?

 

What happens if you boot into safemode? Is it ok then?

 

Sounds like you're starting to get LCD issues.

 

You also seem to have keyboard issues - your capslock is stuck.

Harry.

 

IT WONT DO ANYTHING UNTIL 4 OR 5 ATTEMPS JUST A WHITE SCREEN.CANT GET INTO SAFE MODE UNTIL IT STARTS UP . THE KEYBOARD SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE. WHEN I APPLY PRESSURE ON BOTH SIDES BY THE TOUCHPAD IT SEEMS TO BOOT UP QUICKER.. HMMMMMMMM

 

Rep added!!! ROFL!

 

I have a similar model inspiron and after several years, the display started to go. It turned gradually pink and then red and then it failed all together. Diagnosing LCD display problems on a laptop is horribly expensive and sadly, I've had to retire the unit. Unless you are a laptop and display guru, you might want to bite the bullet and take it in to your most trusted computer repair shop for a proper diagnosis.

The "caps lock" comment by Harry was his gentle way of telling you *not* to type in all caps. In Internet text communications, it's the equivalent of shouting and considered rude. You'll notice that everyone else here has the ability to use upper and lower case letters. Please do the same. Thanks.

Hey , sorry about the cap lock..... new to this forum ... didn't realize it meant shouting....my bad

 

No worries. We're all learning.
