| 1458775 | 2019-03-05 22:51:00 | This ancient Dell Vostro 200 running Win7 Pro failed to boot, no POST display but the fan spins. I first removed the RAM sticks, cleaned and reinserted to their slots. Pressed the power button, Bingo! There it goes! Started up, loaded Win7 without any issue. Thought I have solved the problem, turned it OFF. That was yesterday evening. This morning, when I pressed the power button, the fan spins very loud but no POST beep, no display on screen! It's dead again! Opened up the cover, reseated the RAM sticks , pressed the power button, it started up OK. It repeated the cycle 2 more times since this morning. Maybe it's time to bring it to the EWaste. Any suggestions before going to the ewaste? |
