I shut down my Desktop (Inspiron 530) before leaving on a business trip. Upon my return the unit will not power up. The LED in the power switch on the front does not light up. There is a green LED on the back of the power supply that is lit. There is no led activity at the network cable. There is single...

Every time I press the button on the front the green light in back goes out and I have to unplug and plug in to reset. Power supply checks out (I swapped with a good 537) and motherboard looks good with no visable damage to any capacitors or other components.

Hi, I've been researching all night about which PSU and GPU is the perfect upgrade for me. Before I click the buy button, I would just like to double check and make absolutely sure that they are compatible with my system. PSU: So far, I've found an Antec NEO ECO 520C that seems to be...

I've got a little problem today with my Inspiron 530. I went to turn on the computer by pressing the power button on the front and nothing happened. I looked at the back of the computer to make sure it was properly plugged in and there was no power light on in the back. I unplugged the machine, reset...

My question Is it worth going from a Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300 to an Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 for $100? My 12 year old son at his Mom's house has a Dell Inspiron 530 built in February 2009 (system below). The processor is a Wolfdale E5300, 2.6, 2MB, 65W, R0 (800 MHz FSB). The desktop has the...

I checked the PSU and it turned on when I jumped it. So I disconected the RAM, PCI card, and other drives power and data cables... Still nothing. How do I know that its not a bad power button? I don't want to go buy a motherboard/ processor if I don't have to.

Can't seem to find any post that matches this power up issue. I have 2 Inspiron 530's (Core2 Quad Q8300 with 350W PSU, 1 HDD, DVD Drive, GeForce 9400GT) bought at same time (7/7/2009) and one started having issue first but now the second has developed same issue - they been great workhorses until...

My Inspiron 530 has been a very good computer to me so far. However, in the past whenever it has been lightly bumped it shuts off, the power cord couldn't ever be even lightly jiggled. I've had it since 2008 though, and I managed to keep it in a safe place where this rarely happened. However...

I heard that dell was thinking about using Google plus for support i think this is a great idea. The video chat feature would be like text support on steroids, making it a lot faster and easier to find a solution to your problem copy and paste this in a new forum if you think dell should use Google plus...

When i attempt to start my computer up, it doesnt start but gives me 4 short beeps. Ive been searching all over this website and came to the conclusion that it could be my memory card or something to do with my memory but thats it...What else should i do?? PS- My computer is still under warranty and...

After a power outtage, my Inspiron 530 desktop will not boot up. It is only 2 years old. The green light on the back and the amber light on the motherboard are lit, but not flashing any codes. Based on posts here, I tried the following: Disconnected everything from the motherboard and reconnected...
