Hi Dell Inspiron 6400 Windows XP Problem:---Black screen, no power up, power adapter light flashing. Battery is fully charged. No lights anywhere on laptop, just Dead! Removed battery and adapter lead, held down power on switch to drain charge etc, refitted battery pressed on, nothing. Connected power adapter, also nothing, just warning light flashes on charger box when laptop connected. Tried another spare adapter, still the same. I have just replaced the motherboard 1 week ago for no charging, and no power up. Has been OK... then this. Can anyone help please? John.

I used my Dell Insperon 6400 laptop on vacation in a hotel, had problems connecting with hotel Wifi, but eventually suceeded. I started my laptop after loading lots of pictures, and upon opening, all my documents, folders and photos have dissapeared. Its as if i have just purchased the laptop. I have tried 'system restore' the laptop but nothing has happened. The laptop is around 3 years old. I use XP Home 2002 as the operating system. Can anyone help as really need to get hold of my documents and photos. I saw another thread with similar probs, he was advised to go to start/ Run/ and type in .doc .jpg When I do this I get warning message Windows can´t find either. Help please ! John.
