| vista 64 | Dell- blinking power button- vista power mgmt? Just got a dell inspiron running vista home premium 64. works fine, except each morning the power button is blinking blue and unit has to be unplugged- mouse does not wake it, pressing power button kicks all the cooling fans into high gear, but nothing more. i suspect that this happens when unit goes into sleep or hibernate mode. under 'power plan', "dell recommended" is checked. ideas? thank-you for any expert advice that you can offer |

| Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 | Re: Dell- blinking power button- vista power mgmt? Is it a desktop or Laptop? Dell desktops are well known to have dodgy power units (hardware) installed. Have you tried a cold reboot to see what happens?.....If you continue to have power issues call the Dell customer support and they'll send you a new power supply (for desktop). Not sure about the laptops though. |
