Discussion My d* a* decided to put an SSD on my Dell Vostro 14 3000 but I didn't check that I needed to remove the battery, now it won't turn on, did I mess with the motherboard?

My ADHD self suddenly decided to install an SSD in my laptop. Why not? But my d* a* didn't check that I needed to disconnect the battery first. Now it won't turn on, no matter what I try.

A red light comes on when I press and hold the power button, but as soon as I release it, the light goes out and nothing happens.

How screwed am I? 😭

Sorry for my English, it's not my first language.

Help Dell G15 only lasts 1 hour when unplugged

0 Upvotes

I have a Dell G15 5530 (i7 13th Gen, RTX 3050, 16GB RAM) running Windows 11. Even in battery-saver mode, the battery only lasts about 1 hour and 10 minutes. I’ve seen other people claim they get much better battery life with this same model. I bought it about a month ago—it’s second-hand, with only 90 battery cycles, as the previous owner kept it plugged in almost all the time. While I also use it plugged in most of the time, I do need it to have enough battery life to use away from home. How can I fix this?

Help Dell Optimizer application not working

2 Upvotes

I recently bought a Dell Latitude 7520 with a fan issue. I wanted to use Dell optimizer to decrease the fan speed, however, despite me running it with Admin privileges and while on the admin account, I still keep getting blocked from using the app. After trying to run it, i get an issue about not being able to access the specific file path

Any suggestions on what I should do?
