Oh, one more thing Lisa. That web reference you included about the beep codes is excellent. I had previously used several separate lists and this is the most concise and easy to use I have seen. One thing it does not have, or have any link to, is a key for the four diagnostic lights on the back of many Dell towers. One can get that information on the Dell web site but you have to specify what model system. As many times as I have done that for different Dells, I can say they are mostly the same, but there must be some differences. Go to support and do a search for something like "Diagnostic Lights" and you get about 12,600 results. If you add the model name & number to the search criteria you get much closer and making another choice or two usually will get to a page with a diagram of the target computer and a table of light colors and the causes for those patterns. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
