When talking about Dell laptop troubleshooting we can actually try and cover a lot of areas but we would have to write a book or an entire manual on this subject. If you are interested in larger and more detailed explanations, there already are Dell manual for troubleshooting available on the Internet. One very easy way to check for troubleshooting is to check the special icon located on the task-bar right next to the clock in the lower right corner of the display.

When the operating system detects an error with your laptop, a balloon generally pops up in that corner alerting you that there is a problem. Different icons located here can show you that some drivers need to be updated or there are compatibility issues between the version of the software and your operating system.

When your laptop shuts down for no apparent reason and when you touch it, it feels really warm, that is a sign that you are having some overheating problems. I’m sure most of you have already heard about the blue screen of death. What really happens is that the screen turns blue and it shows white written lines with errors. This usually happens when new software and peripherals are installed. Other problems could be with the display. It could have dead or stuck pixels. Can’t tell the difference between the two? Well, a dead pixel turns black and there is no way you can get rid of it unless you change the whole display. Stuck pixels usually turn into a color and stay that way permanently. This problem can be solved by rubbing gently the area on the display around those stuck pixels. Amazing, but it actually works.

You can also diagnose certain problems that your laptop might have just by listening to the unit. You can hear scratching on the hard drive or inside the optical drive. If you notice interruptions in the charging process, this could be a problem with the power jack.

If you have a multi-meter you can check the cord and see if there is any power flow. If there isn’t, you may have to replace the charger. If the laptop is charged but the battery runs out too fast, it’s a sign that you should buy another battery for your laptop. In time, the battery runs out of power and cannot stay charged for as long as it did when it was new. If you ever notice any odd smell coming out from your laptop, like hot plastics or burning, beware as there may be something fried inside the unit, on the motherboard. This is why we always advise you to properly ventilate the laptop.
