Hi terrance511,
From your post I understand that you had re-seated the memory modules and then did flea-power release. After these two steps system powered on for one time where you got the message on the screen to press F1 key and then the computer had shut down. In this situation the next step is to remove all the CRUs (Customer Removable Units) from the computer and then try to power on the computer. With the components removed if the computer boots to Windows then we try to put back one component at a time in the computer and check which component is causing the computer not to boot. So that I can suggest to you the CRUs in the machine and steps to remove them, please reply with the exact System Model Number of your Dell Laptop.

Below mentioned are the steps:
1. Remove all external peripherals and power source from the laptop and "Drain Flea Power". To "Drain Flea Power" after removing the AC Adapter and Battery press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds.
2. Connect the AC Adapter only and power on the computer, observe if you hear any beep codes or any other light indicators.
3. If no change is observed, repeat step 1 and remove the components in the following order:
a. Memory
b. WLAN Mini-Card
c. Central Control Cover
d. Keyboard
e. Hard Drive
Note: You will find the exact steps on how to remove these components from the Service Manual.
4. Repeat step 2 and check if there is any change or computer exhibits memory beeps.
5. If beeps are heard connect only one memory module and perform step 2.
6. If the computer seems to complete POST and boot to Windows try connecting the keyboard and Hard Drive one by one. If the computer boots to Windows normally the issue is fixed. Else if the computer still not able to complete POST, try to isolate which of the remaining two components is causing no POST.
The above steps are for isolating if any of the listed CRUs (Customer Removable Units) are causing any issues. If the issue persists please feel free to respond with the exact symptoms exhibited by the machine.
