Can some one help me here. I am try to get a Dell Inspiron 2500 laptop to work again. I am pretty good with desktops but have never done any work with laptops.

Are there any known commonfaults with these laptop. The problem that I have is that it boots up just to the post screen and then freezes (there are no unusual beeps).

I would guess that this would be a problem with the memory that is installed or the hard drive is corrupted. Before I buy spare parts from ebay can anyone suggest the best way forward

When it freezes, are there any error messages? If not, what is the last thing it says it did? Also, will it reboot from there with just CTRL+ALT+DEL, or do you have to use the power button?
