so my friend has a 2 year old Dell Inspiron 1526, the darn thing starts and just stops loading up at a certain point, before today she says the T,V, and H buttons wouldn't work, any suggestions?

If you have an extra laying around, try plugging in a different keyboard.Also, try booting in "safe" mode, Good luck.

i had already told her to use safe mode before, it had worked after quite some time. i told her to download CCleaner and Advanced Systemcare after that

What version of Windows is she using?

[RadPig94]

i believe Xp

could be a bad hard drive or bad RAM possibly. run a hard drive diagnostic test from the start up menu if possible (F2 or F12 during the BIOS loading screen I think)

Hi, RadPig


The laptop which I am using to type this at this moment has the same problem.

I use system over ride: Push ctrl then alt and last delete repeatedly until you reach the dialogue (next) screen and then stop doing it.

It works for me so it might work for your friend.

she got it up and running since yesterday, let's hope it will start up today too
