I had the same problem. Press F12 to get into booting options. Then switch to an unsafe booting mode. Mine works fine now.

Restart your computer and repeatedly press F8 while you turn it on. This should bring you to some menu. Press system restore restore back to the date it worked. I had the same problem and this advice worked for me.

I had the same problem. What you need to do is call dell and let them know what's happening and they are able to fix that problem for you the will log in to your computer but with your permission and they fix it and I have not had any problem ever since.

Sorry about your problem. I haven't had any problem booting up my Dell. I did, however, have a problem with an Acer when I put it in hibernation and then restarted. It would boot part way and then reboot. I finally cured that problem by using Shutdown instead of Hibernation. Good luck with your Dell.

You probably have to adjust the display function on the computer - if you have Windows 8 there will be a choice of computer only, computer and monitor, or monitor only. Maybe call the help desk at Dell or ask a technician at Best Buy - I chat with them from time to time and get the best tips - Hope that helps

I think I screwed up my 1st reply!!!To be even more precise, because I went around in circles before I got it right , after moving the cursor to settings click enter and then click menu and you will get the screen that has the restart option.

You must wait and the laptop will restart. When your machine restart, you must try turn it off again.

I haven't owned one of these for years, but I recall the touch screen working just fine. Windows 7 wasn't really designed for touch interaction so it will never be perfect. But if it's not working at all, that's another issue. My guess would be that you need to install a driver. That should be fairly easy to find on Dell's website. Of course, there may be a physical hardware issue as well Impossible to guess at this end. Best of luck with it. It is a neat little machine.

I have no idea. The computer was defective and it was returned. It would not boot up.

Try looking in the computers BIOS - early in the boot process you need to hit one of the "F" keys to enter the BIOS.

Hi Not Ned. Try unplugging all peripheral devices except the keyboard and mouse. Then hard boot. If that works plug in the disconnected peripherals one by one rebooting each time until the problem reoccurs.

I am also facing the same problem. It only shows the desktop (with no icons).

I run both XP and Win7, operating system doesn't affect switching. I noticed after switching, the screen would sometimes be distorted (icons showed up significantly magnified), system would then have to be rebooted to bring things back to normal. To me that was more a nuisance than a problem. My switch died after a couple of months operation. I went to a ConnectPRO UD-KIT, USB DVI KVM switch.

Its Dell - Zoom in on the picture... it is clearly a Dell logo with a cheap, translucent sticker. (Oddly enough that is a copyright violation, since this is for commercial means)

Could be a bad screen, do you have anything else to tested it with? Also double check the cord on both sides is secure, one side going into the new display other side going in motherboard/graphics card.

My Dell computer didn't recognize it, so I had to return it and buy one from Dell.

I've only seen it do that when starting up. If yours is stuck, you may have to send it in for service.

Same thing happened to me. I just bought mine from Amazon and received it yesterday. If fits into my husbands DELL though.I have no answer.
