Re: (Another) Dell Inspiron 530 will not boot up! Meaning of error code??

Hi DougMacHi,

I’d suggest that you follow the steps mentioned below and check if the system starts up.

1. Switch off the computer.
2. Disconnect the power cable from the wall.
3. Press and hold down the power button for 15 seconds.
4. Then connect back all the peripherals and check if the system switches ON.

If the system is switching ON then I would suggest that you run the diagnostics on the computer by following the steps mentioned below and check if there is any issue with the hardware on your system.

1. Turn on or restart the computer.
2. Immediately at the Dell logo screen, starting tapping the <F12> key once a second until the One Time Boot menu appears (if the computer boots to Windows turn the computer off and try again).
3. At the One Time Boot menu, press the <Down> arrow key to highlight Diagnostics, PSA+ or Enter ePSA, then press <Enter> to begin the hardware Diagnostics.
4. Write down any error codes listed. Reply to us with the error codes.
