It must be ghosts ... Or a bad joke.
I'm refurbishing a Dell Studio 1555. Replaced the failing HD and updated to Win 10 and now have the oddest problem.
With the battery in it will get stuck at 3/4 POST and then require a combination of ESC and the ENTER key to proceed to the MS WIN 10 splash. All good from then on.
With the battery out, flea power discharged and on external power it will speed through the POST and load Windows but the KEYBOARD won't work. Touchpad will work fine.
Tried so far:
Dell onboard extended diagnostics. No errors.
BIOS set to default and saved.
Updated to the Win7 drivers although Dell will not claim they will work with Win 10.
I've ordered a new battery and hope that will solve it.
Any ideas?
