Hello,

I woke up to turn my Dell Inspiron 5545 laptop and found that it showed the Dell logo, but a blank screen with a white cursor arrow. None of the tips on the Dell support page applies to my laptop and I've tried the System Setup, but nothing works. Any thoughts?

Try this

1. Remove the battery and cable.

2. Press and hold the power button for 58 seconds.

3. Replug and start.

Good luck
