    Laptop is super fast, but the only 2 problems that is giving me and everyone since Dell doesn’t fix this two issues and people are still talking about these issues since 2018, first is when waking up the laptop from sleep mode the screen doesn’t turn on at all and need to shut off completely to use the laptop again and supposedly to fix it you have to revert back to an older BIOS, secondly is when booting up when it’s normally shut off sometimes it gets stuck on the logo screen and you need to hold on the power button to shut it down and boot it again to make it work again. So far it’s been a hassle.

      eamoral2,

      Thanks for your review and we're sorry to hear about the issues that you've had with your computer so far. We'd recommend unchecking the box in your computer's power manager that allows it to shut down during sleep mode in order to conserve energy. This should help your computer stay active when you awake it from sleep mode. With regards to re-starting your computer if it doesn't boot correctly, 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.
