Who knew there was a built-in Dell Diagnostic Program that works on a dead computer?
It’s such a delight to see the screen lit up–even with testing boxes only–with color yet, not like the old DOS diagnostics–that my heart and spirits are lifted just knowing that maybe, just maybe this thing can fix itself with a little help from me. Maybe it’ll tell me that there’s just no hope for anything, but since I felt that getting tangled up in the adapter wire and kicking free (I was asleep) was the big problem, resulting in a fried motherboard, this gives me hope. Though I believe that this program doesn’t touch the hard drive but I knew the system should power up even without a hard drive.
More news later, as I get the test results. In the meantime, I’m basking in the glow of a lit laptop screen.
