  1. Is my Dell Inspiron turning off at 5% power normal?


    I get a warning at 10% that my battery is low and then at 5% it shuts down. I’m wondering if the percentage is off or if it’s just a safety measure because it is low. It has windows 10 installed.

    My hp laptop wont turn on

    This is a frequent problem am sure as you have already seen from online searches.

    Flea power is usually the culprit here, basically its residual power that remains on the computer even after thecomputer has been shutdown. You can drain the flea power with the steps the other answers have suggested.

    • Disconnecting the battery and adapter
    • Press the hardpress the power button for 30 seconds
    • This should clear the flea power

    If this doesnt work, read this article its about
    a dell inspiron
    but the same applies for you hp. It has some detailed step by step instructions

  3. Dell Inspiron 15 won't turn on - no power at all

    My Dell Inspiron 15 3521 updated on Thursday. After it finished updating it ran for about 30 minutes. I then received a blue screen of death that just said it ran into an unexpected error. Went by too fast to get the exact error message. Restarted and
    worked fine that night. Friday morning it ran for about an hour and then suddenly just shut off. I was unable to turn it back on. Zero power at all. No lights - just dead. Any suggestions? I tried holding the power button down, removing the battery,
    reseating the memory, etc.

    The laptop was purchased in September 2013. Everything was working fine and now nothing. Is it worth having it looked at or repaired? It just seems odd that it happened immediately after updating.

    It is full of files, videos and photos that I have not backed up since Christmas :-( I still have a ton of room so it is not a space issue.

    Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

  4. Is my Dell Inspiron turning off at 5% power normal?

    Dell Inspiron laptop Windows 10 stuck on Dell logo screen!!!!

    I have a Dell Inspiron laptop Windows 10 and it won't advance past the Dell logo screen. The computer turns on, the Dell logo appears for a few seconds, then the screen goes black, and then it does it all over again......the Dell logo appears, and screen
    turns black...and on and on.......

    I checked a few other forums and removed the battery, removed the power cable, held the power button down, powered it back on, it didn't work. I did a system diagnostic check and it came back good, with no problems.

    Help!! Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Todd
