Hi all,
My Latitude e6500 has started to fail booting intermittently, now more frequently so it has become pretty unreliable and I love my laptop so I would like to fix it if possible. When I press the power button there will be sounds heard like if the fans and HD want to start, but then it stops and it stays in a situation were the num lock key is blinking, and the caps and scroll lock lights are on. Nothing comes up on the screen during this failed attempts to boot. Sometimes there seems to be an association between this happening more often when the computer turn itself off (sleep) than when I turn it off. The mystery for me is that it does it intermittently so I'm hoping it can be fixed without something serious like needing to change the motherboard.
I'm sure this has come up before in the forum, but I truly spent more than an hour browing around and found other versions of blinking lights, not this. perhaps I didn't use the right keyword? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Regards. Hernan
