| Windows 10 Killed My Dell Inspiron- Photo by MZtech |
After I upgraded to Windows 10, every thing worked fine at first. But after it installed a couple of updates, I restarted my PC and it won't boot up. The power light indicator lights up but no Logo screen or Bios. I turned it off and turned it on again, it is still on black screen and this time it is beeping with 3 beeps simultaneously.
3 beeps code on Dell Inspiron means system board failure. I don't believe it is a hardware failure because everything worked fine before the upgrade. It is surely a software issue.
The solution:
- Remove the battery and the AC adapter.
- Remove all the screws in the laptop.
- Press Power button for 30 seconds. (discharge static electricity in laptop)
- Open up laptop and remove CMOS battery for 10-30 minutes.
- Replace back CMOS battery and screws.
- Connect to AC adapter.
- Press Fn/F2/F8 simultaneously while pressing the power button.
- Repeat step 7 if Dell Logo Splash Screen doesn't appear after 10 seconds.
Inspiron 3520 has not been tested and verified by Dell to be compatible with Windows 10. It has driver compatibility issues in which the system cannot detect the boot drive so in pressing the any of the function keys mentioned earlier, it helps the system detect the boot drive so it could perform the POST and boot to Dell logo screen.
Quick TIP:
In resetting the CMOS battery, you need not to disassemble your laptop completely. After you removed the screw, lift the upper cover near the touch pad and you will see the CMOS battery.

The solution above will only help you boot up back to Windows 10. But every time you shut down your laptop and turn in back on, you have to perform all over again step 7 and step 8.
If your current bios version is A09 and lower, updating your bios to A10 will solve the issue.
I would appreciate to hear a feedback from you guys if this solution worked for you. If you know some other solutions with this issue, you are welcome to share your idea. If you have questions or need more assistance, feel free to post a comment below.
