      aronmee1969,

      Thanks for your feedback and we're sorry to hear that your computer is no longer working. Dell's Technical Support Team may be able to help with this issues that you're having: http://dell.to/2sH7Qlm.

      If you'd like to try to boot up your system again you can follow these steps:

      1. If the computer is displaying the Dell logo and does not move past that point, it has probably failed POST.
      2. If the power indicator lights up and it is amber or orange, this is usually an indicator that it has failed POST.
      3. If you see text on a black screen, the computer is currently performing the POST. If the computer stays in that condition and does not move past it, it has probably failed POST.
      4. If the video screen displayed anything at all during the startup process but is now black, this probably indicates that the computer failed POST.
      5. If the computer is beeping or if Caps/Num/Scroll Locks are flashing, note if there is a particular pattern in which it beeps or flashes.
      6. If the computer is not beeping and caps/num/scroll locks are not flashing, unplug all connections and remove all media communication devices (e.g. external monitors); reconnect one at a time and check if the computer functions.
      7. For a notebook, press and hold the Fn key and then press the power button. This starts the pre-boot testing and will launch ePSA. In case you have a Desktop at the Dell logo screen tap the F12 key to enter One Time Boot Menu and use the arrow keys to highlight Diagnostics and press enter.

    I was really enjoying this laptop....... For about 2 weeks before my 2060 Gpu shot smoke out of the vents right in front of me. Other reviews say this is a 2070 or 2080 issue, it is also a 2060 issue lol. Maybe it's just dell showing us the direction they're taking their quality control and performance. Dell warranty support sucks btw, it takes WEEKS to get a replacement from dell. Don't bank on it.
