I am working with a Dell Latitude D610 laptop. When I turn it on, it come up with a black screen saying

****MANUFACTURING MODE LEVEL [67]****
Press Fn-X to return the system to normal running mode.

I've done this and nothing works.

I try to off manually by pressing the power button and try to on, but still the same.

Do you guys know what's the problem? Is it the hard drive or problem with my power adapter. Should I reassemble it?

Unplug the system and remove the battery. Hold the power button for 30 seconds. Then try powering up -- if it won't, you've damaged the mainboard, and you'll need to replace it.

Can u get into BIOS?or safe mode settings(F8)?
I suggest you take it back to dell and reassemble it..
And if u can get into BIOS..
BIOS settings. ALT+F might do it, if not, arrow down to the bottom of
the BIOS index and select "defaults"

Hello,

I´m not sure this will work for everybody, but it did for me. As many folks posted, the solution indeed required re-flashing the BIOS, but the problem is how to do this if we cannot even get to the BIOS SETUP or booting Windows...

Well for me the trick that worked was to wait until the machine asked me to hit F1 to continue (which takes awhile since it first asks to press Fn-X), at this point, instead, I hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and surprisingly, the machine booted fine. I then DIDN´T go to SETUP, but I allowed Windows XP to boot and then I reflashed the BIOS.

Problem solved, like magic!!!

PS: The first time I tried to go to the BIOS SETUP, but the machine frozen, then, the second time I left Windows to boot straight using the same CTRL+ALT+DEL approach, so, my advice is: do not push your luck if you manage to boot like I describe above by trying to launch the BIOS SETUP utility, let Windows boot instead and re-flash your BIOS.

I Hope this works for everyone who gets a similar issue!
