Inspiron 5100.
I was trying to get on the net true dial-up. And then he bluescreened on me. Tried to restart him but no luck. Powers up, the fan gives out warm air but the screen is black. Try 5 more times and no luck, almost gaved up. Though the mobo gone fry. But on the next try it went on!? Got to the loading windows screen and again bluescreened on me. Repeated same thing (5-7 times nothing and than again bluescreen)
Anyway now it shows only blackscreen. Took out all the unnecessary parts to eliminate the problem. Tried different memory, nothing. Thought maybe BIOS got settings too high, so I desolder and solder back the BIOS battery to reset it. Still nothing. The CPU gets hot making me believe that it's ok. While I was taking BIOS battery out I inspected everything (the mobo,video,cpu) for signs of frying. Nothing seems fried.
someone on craigslist told me to try on this forum with my problem.
Could it be the bad caps??
