My Studio One 19 is a model that came out about 5 years ago. It was sold by Walmart, QVC, Sam's Club. I got one from Walmart originally 5 years ago and in the first week it broke. Dell's support was unable to fix it so they replaced it. I was not happy so I returned it. But I loved the style of the Touch All-in-One screen that I ended up buying another one from Ebay.... I have had this one for about 5 years.
I really loved my Studio One 19.... I have it about 5 years now and it has worked almost flawlessly until yesterday. I shutdown the night before like I always do before bed. Next morning it just won't power on...
I tried unplugging it from the power outlet. Waited a minute, plugged back in. Tried holding the power button down. It does nothing. Like others have said, the CD eject button lights up for 3 seconds and then goes out. The power button which usually lights up indicating power has turned on... Does not light up. And no noises (fans, motor, etc) come from the machine, like it usually does. It just appears to be completely dead.
I did a google search for Studio One 19 not turning on and I found another post on the Dell forums... where the man tried laying it face down for an hour and it was then able to turn on. I'm trying that now. I did it for about 2 minutes and it didn't work. But I re-read his post where he says he laid it down for atleast an hour. So now I am just waiting as it is laying down and I will see what happens. I don't think it's going to work but I'll try anything at this point.
I didn't want to have to buy a new pc because I really, really love this one. But if I have to I will. I don't want to waste money buying parts which may or may not fix the problem and I am not a tech so I don't know how to do the other things being suggested. In the other post on the forum they are talking about removing a battery.... I have no idea how to do that. I don't even see where the screws are to take the cover/chassis off the pc. How will I get to the inside to check connections? I would have to pay someone to do it.
I have NOT had the issue of the clock resetting that others have described. The only problem I have is that a long time ago, I can't remember when, my touch screen seemed to stop working.
I remember at one point I was annoyed that bugs were landing on the screen and causing windows commands to perform things I did not want to do. So I disabled or tried to disable the touch settings. Well a year or so later, I decided I wanted to use touch screen again so my child could use the Touch You Paint program which is like a coloring book. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't responding to my touch, then I remembered I must have disabled it. Well I tried to re-enable it.... but it has never been the same again.
It doesn't respond to my touch, but it does respond to bugs. All summer bugs have been hitting the screen and the on screen "mouse" even appears at times.... but only the bugs can get it to work. I can't get it to do anything for me. I have played with the settings, tried updating everything. I dunno... I'm not a techie.... I wanted to even reinstall the drivers for the touch screen but dont know if I did it right cuz it still isn't working.
That's the only issue I have had with this PC other than yesterday when it won't power on.... I wish someone knew how to fix this without it costing me an arm and a leg for parts and service...
