Driverbooster install crash prevents seeing bootup

Inspiron 5675

Inspiron 5675

I booted 5675 unused for a couple of years and driver Booster wanted to update video card drivers, it subsequently crashed before updating drivers. IF it is booting, can,t see screen to see F2 or F12 to go into safe mode.

If this PC hasn't been used in "a couple of years", the motherboard battery is probably dead. So I'd replace that battery before doing anything else...

  1. Power off, unplug power cord from rear of PC
  2. Press/hold power button for ~15 sec
  3. Open case and remove motherboard battery (check Service Manual for details)
  4. Press/hold power button for ~30 sec
  5. Install fresh CR2032 3-volt coin cell battery
  6. Close up and connect mouse, monitor and keyboard
  7. Reboot and see what happens now...
