Bev may be right about needing a motherboard, but you should try clearing BIOS settings before doing anything else. But- obviously- if there's still a warranty, contact Dell and let them take care of it. Power off and unplug.

Press/hold power button for ~15 sec. Open case and remove motherboard coin cell battery. Press/hold power button for ~30 sec. Reinstall battery and close up. See if it boots now.

Working inside a system like this can be tricky so if it's beyond your capabilities, maybe a geeky friend or reliable PC shop can try this for you. Here's the manual with instructions to remove the coin cell battery on page 52. Even if you have to pay someone to try this, if it works this will be a whole lot cheaper than a new motherboard. I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I tried the above coin battery removal and still nothing. My warranty recently expired and now I'm stuck with a big paper weight until I can figure this out.

I still can't believe that an update killed my computer that was perfectly fine before yesterday afternoon. Is this a known issue with Dell crashing their products while trying to update our system with their updates? Really upset about all this. Had I known it was going to cause all this I would have skipped the update!

What version of Windows and what build (eg Win 10 Anniversary, Win 10 Creators. Download Free Matrix Patch Of Neo Spolszczenie Software Engineering. ) What version of BIOS did you have and what version did you try to install? Does the PC do anything? Do you see anything on the monitor? What color is power button and is it steady or blinking? When you removed the battery, BIOS was reset to the defaults and those settings may not correct for your hardware.

So if you see anything on the screen and/or beeps from the tower there mightstill be a chance. How long ago did your warranty expire? Dell has out of warranty repair service that you may want to investigate.

You pay to ship to them and the 'motherboard' repair rate and they pay to ship it back. I've seen a few others are having the exact same problem. Just updated to Win 10 Creators a few days ago, took a long time but everything seemed to work ok. No idea what BIOS version I have/had since I can't get the computer to boot to find out.

When turning on the pc, the power light is orange for a second or two, then turns the normal light blue. Steady with no blinking.

I can hear the hard drive hum for a few seconds, then nothing. Monitor does nothing. No flashing or anything. It is 'on' but in stand-by mode.

Of course the warranty just expired last December. I've seen a few others are having the exact same problem.

Barry6482 - What PC model do you have? I had the exact same symptoms as Barry6482 with my Dell laptop after updating to Creators Build, but I didn't do a BIOS update right before or right after the update. My fix was to prepare bootable media with Win 10 CB (free download from Microsoft site), boot from that, wipe the drive and start over. Download Zahir Pos Full. At least all my files were backed up on external media, so I didn't lose them.

Don't know if your issue is the same because you all did a BIOS update.BUT. If you have any bootable CD or DVD, see if you can boot from that. I used an ancient Dell Win XP reinstallation CD, but any bootable media should work. Put bootable disk in the drive or connect bootable USB stick before you power on. Power on and immediately press F12 to choose the disk or USB as the boot drive. If ( Big IF) the system boots like mine did, you're in luck! Create a bootable Win 10 CB disk or bootable USB stick and boot from that to do the clean install.
