FAQ's
Q: What if I cannot switch between Legacy and UEFI or if switching does not help?

Q: It says I can’t enable the legacy option ROMS with PTT enabled

Q: What key do you press to access the diagnostic test?
A: F12

Q: What if the factory reset does not work?

Q: What if the Hard Drive fails the test?
A: If your Hard Drive fails the test, you will have to replace it. Then you would need to install Windows to the new drive as seen here;

Q: What if the test says the hard drive is not installed or not available?
FYI: SSDs are faster and break less often :)
You would also then need to install an operating system onto the new one as seen here;

Q: What if changing the settings in BIOS didn't help and the scan passes everything?
A: If changing the settings in BIOS did not help, and the diagnostic scan showed all components to be healthy, then its most likely an issue with your operating system. Can you find any Restore or Repair options in BIOS? Or perhaps an option to Uninstall Last Update? If not, your last resort would be to reinstall the Operating System.

Q: The test says the battery is almost dead. Is that my issue?
A: If the test says your battery is dying, I would definitely replace it asap. However, that's most likely not the cause of your boot loop. To make sure, remove the battery and try to turn the computer on with only the power adapter plugged in. What happens then?

I'm trying to move the easier hardware stuff there so that I can focus on the more in depth troubleshooting and diagnostic videos here :)

Best how-to video ever: no chit-chat, no useless intro, no unwanted, useless personal info, no funny pet experiences. In addition, all to the point, easy to follow, accurate instructions. Fixed my computer in minutes

MAN ARE YOU A SAVIOR!! Your tutorial saved my Vostro 3578 from that "No Bootable Devices Found". Apparently I changed UEFI (default for me) to Legacy, and then switch it back to UEFI. It then took like 2-3 mins to reboot but eventually reached the Windows loading screen. All thanks to you, so glad I found this video :DD

OMGGG, thank you so much, really, this helped a lot. Now my mom is not going to kill me <3 <3 I'm very thankful

[umapadmini]

I'm a Mom in my 50's all the way in India, I never thought, I would be able to fix it without my son's help.
You are amazing God bless you

[UditaMehta]

Omg! It worked. Thanks to all these comments. It made me go through the complete video with patience. Mine showed battery problem. It did reboot and my heart is back in my body. 😭

Your channel is hands down the best for repair info. You are a saint. Just saved myself a lot of time and aggravation. Took an hour of trial and error, but following your videos fixed my laptop. I can't thank you enough. You da man.

I am from Pakistan and its 12:30AM here. About one and half hour, my laptop powered off unexpectedly. I googled my laptop's symptoms and came across one of your videos and boy oh boy were they thorough. After struggling for an hour or so and with great help from you, i was able to resurrect my laptop that would otherwise cost me atleast 200 bucks. So, thank you. Peace and Love.

[Abukadhm]

Thank you so much! You saved my money by not going to the local maintenance shops where they always format the PC as a first option lol :D

[la_robbo]

You saved my PhD thesis!!! Thank you!!!!

[therealitychop]

I just wanted to stop past your YouTube and tell you that I’m thankful you helped me get my computer of a dell loop so today sir I am thankful for your existence ❤

[mdtowhidurrahman]

One of the most useful videos on the internet. I was ready with a thumb drive but this video saved some hours of setup and reinstall. Keep up the good work!

[RalphCrammedIn]

Extremely well done, concise video sir! Sadly I cannot get past the 'no bootable device screen' regardless of any and all attempts at recovery, fiddled with the boot sequence as well as (in my case SIX hour) diagnostic scan prior to even coming across your video (the diagnostics all PASSED without exception to include the HDD). I'm utterly baffled. I have a slew of boot recovery discs, Hirens, WIN10 os recovery discs, etc - will try those next. It's a neighbor's laptop and I asked whether there was any preceding 'weird' behavior? None that she could recall, no major updates, etc. Just "blip" without warning.

[paog]

Thank you so much! It's my finals week in university and you just saved my laptop ;_;

[neilt]

I got my friends laptop to format and have been racking my brain on this for the past 24 hours. Its an old laptop. Then i found you video. Solved it in 3 minutes. Just had to change the boot sequence. Thanks a ton man.

[AskLifeA]

Amazing. I always have this feeling like "just go to his channel, you'll find the solution to your Dell problem". My laptop's been acting up lately and your videos always help. I solved this too within minutes by changing to UEFI

[izzysullivan]

OMG YOU JUSY SAVED MY LIFE MY SISTER WAS GONNA THINK I BROKE HER COMPUTER AND NOT LET ME USE IT!!!! 🥰

[giulietta_rizzo]

OMG I thought I was screwed because I am really nowhere near tech-savvy, but I decided to look up the issue online and found this video. It was super helpful and easy to follow. I had to switch from UEFI (default) to Legacy and then back to UEFI. Problem fixed, I guess I'll save my trip to my local Dell service center for another time (unless you've got some other trick up your sleeve, which you might). Thank you so so much for this!

[seamangingisdavlog]

Saved our working computer which has all our working files in it with no back up😂😂. Thanks
