Solving Problems

If the power light is breathing white — The
computer is in standby or the display may not
be responding.

Press a key on the keyboard, move the

connected mouse or a finger on the touch
pad, or press the power button to resume
normal operation.
If the display is not responding, press the

power button until the computer turns off
and then turn it back on.
If the problem persists, contact Dell (see

“Contacting Dell” on page 87).

If you encounter interference that hinders
reception on your computer — An unwanted
signal is creating interference by interrupting
or blocking other signals. Some possible
causes of interference are:

Power, keyboard, and mouse extension

cables.
Too many devices connected to a

power strip.
Multiple power strips connected to the

same electrical outlet.

Memory Problems

If you receive an insufficient memory
message —

Save and close any open files and exit any

open programs you are not using to see if
that resolves the problem.
See the software documentation for

minimum memory requirements. If
necessary, install additional memory (see
the Service Manual at
support.dell.com/manuals).
Reseat the memory module(s) into the

connector(s) (see the Service Manual at
support.dell.com/manuals).
If the problem persists, contact Dell (see

Contacting Dell” on page 87).

If you experience other memory problems —

Run Dell Diagnostics (see “Dell

Diagnostics” on page 67).
If the problem persists, contact Dell (see

Contacting Dell” on page 87).
