Why not share what you did so if someone else has the same problem, they can try it?

Yes, please tell us what you found on YouTube that worked for you.  I'd like to know in case I have a similar problem.

Re: Help. My computer screen is black and blank

I would call or contact Dell and I do not envy you... the worst CS in the world of computers. I had many Dells thought the years and it was fine until Dell went global. I took my loses with a Dell computer , tablet and I promised myself I would never go back to Dell computer again. I never did. I would try to open up the computer take out the battery and then try to put it in. Good luck O/P I wish you better luck with the Dell company and CS then I had which was a nightmare.

Perhaps you didn't see later posts.  People want to know how you fixed it.  I'm curious also.

Apparently she isn't a regular here and only reads the board when she has a problem.

Re: Help. My computer screen is black and blank

Soory, I didn't realize there were more posts asking what I did. I hit the F8 button quickly a lot  of times after turning it on.  A message came up asking if I wanted to do a restore and I hit yes.  So it restarted, took about a half hr. I lost everything I had, but since it was still new, there wasn't that much on it, but I was at least able to compute again---a good thing.
