In reply to Dirk. @ Dirk, It's hard to tell what is causing the problem without testing the laptop with another working AC adapter. It's possible you have two different problems - failing screen and failed adapter. Here's what I would do: 1. Test the AC adapter with a voltmeter. If it's dead, replace the adapter. 2. If the laptop doesn't charge with a new AC adapter, try replacing the DC jack board. I see this part selling on US eBay for $3.59 with free shipping. 3. If the laptop still doesn't charge even after replacing the DC jack board, most likely this is motherboard related failure.

Good instructions on this site nice and easy to understand.
I have a problem with my dell studio 1737. A few months back I lent my laptop to a friend and got it back with a few grey lines showing on the bottom of the screen. It was still readable so I figured the lcd needed to be replaced. A few days later the laptop stopped charging. As I am in the Philippines Dell tech support is virtually non existant. Anyway I took it to a tech in Manila and he said he couldnt fix it. I got the laptop back still not charging and now the screen is totally blank. I am stumped. Not sure if its a motherboard issue or the charging module. I cant turn in on at all ?

In reply to Ramu. @ Ramu, Try removing RAM modules one by one. Test the laptop with each module separately. There is a chance it's just a failed RAM module.

In reply to john. @ john, If the hard drive failed you don't have lots of options available. First of all, if you have any important data saved on the hard drive you should remove it from the laptop. Later, when you have time and resources you can try to recover data. Here's what you can do to make it work for now. You'll need another working computer with an optical drive for that. Download Ubuntu OS. Burn this image on a DVD. Boot your laptop from this DVD. Alternatively, you can install Ubuntu OS on a USB flash drive. Ubuntu OS offers LAN and Wi-Fi support, internet browser, music player, video player, etc... Without removing failed HDD from the laptop it might not boot properly from USB flash drive or DVD.

I have the Studio 1537 and when I try to turn it on it goes to the Dell logo screen, but I can hear my hard drive getting stuck and not booting up so it just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor. I am pretty certain that I have to replace the hard drive, but am in Afghanistan and would like another opinion. Thanks

In reply to sandeep. @ sandeep, Check out RAM modules and make sure they are seated correctly. Just in case, reseat both memory modules. If reseating RAM doesn't help, there is a chance you pulled the CPU out of the socket while removing the heat sink. In this case, you'll have to reseat the CPU. Remove the heat sink, unlock the CPU socket, reseat the CPU and test the laptop.
