    I have a e1505 and i am having a startup problem. When i press the power button, the pc won't even load the dell screen. i have to press the power button a million times to get the computer to start.

    Any help on what could this be?

    I am running vista ultimate with all latest dell vista drivers.

    I would check the power settings in the BIOS. since you said it is right when you turn it on it would not be any configuration in the Operating System...but instead in the BIOS. Either this or there is something physically wrong with your power button.

    are you on the power supply or are you using just the battery ?
