On this laptop there was no video at boot. I show the various troubleshooting steps and then replace the motherboard which gets the system up and running.
This is the powered screwdriver I use in the video. Hitachi DB3DL2

The thermal compound goes between the chip and the cooler. Arctic Silver 5
Two smaller tubes

One larger tube

This is the one I have. It has the same 64bit set along with some other useful tools and a carrying case.

Masood Saleem Go on eBay and do a search for the model number of the laptop and motherboard. You can also open up the laptop and get the model number of the motherboard from the motherboard.

I have black screen come out like while I am working on. But when I disconnect the battery then the laptop turned on without any problems. I bought new battery and installed it so the black screen came again ? I do not know what is the problem?

It's possible. What I would do is look at the motherboards side by side. Picture should be good enough for this. Really zoom in and make sure all of the connectors are the same. Look at pictures of the front and back of the one you want to get compared to the one you have.

Few weeks ago I suddenly got a Message "Hard Drive not installed" on my Dell Inspiron 17-7000(7778) (i5 processor) series and couldn't access Windows anymore, this was after a lot of years of ongoing screen freeze alongside other issues that I had on 2 same Inspiron laptops since day one and have reported to Dell but unfortunately Dell Customer Service and Support have Failed to Address the Core Issues tell warranty Expiration not to mention the price (of the two) being students on a budget. and then the Hard Drive failure Came, now I would like to try and upgrade to SSD M.2. In Setup and Specifications THE ONLY THING I FOUND is that I can Install One-m.2 drive and One-2.5 inch drive. Is Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 (1TB) or pro series compatible?, There woulden't be any Bios issues? And is there a limit of storage capacity that my 4-5 Year old Inspiron-17-i5 can handle on both Hard Drives (primary and secondary). Thanks.

The dell specs for that model says m.2 nvme so the Samsung SSD will work

Did you have to reinstall windows? Or does the motherboard come with windows already on the bios ?

@MichaelTheComputerGuy 5 жыл бұрын

Windows is installed onto a drive not the BIOS. At the end of the video I show attempting a repair of Windows and then doing a clean reinstall.

Where did you buy the motherboard from? I got the same laptop, only I'm getting nothing to turn on when I hit the power button. I suspect the motherboard, I tried jumping the power switch to no avail.

fyi for anyone currently needing this, dell service manuals are online.

How did you expect to drain it down, without removing the CMOS battery? Granted, it would have reset the BIOS, but that's really the only way to properly drain a computer all the way down. You never touched it.
