Problem with your DELL laptop showing the Modular Bay
Since I have discover the problem on the DELL Inspiron laptops, I am shocked that people have faced the same problem as I do too. Some said, they have changed or updated the version of the BIOS as well as some complains on one of the forum in [ www.techspot.com/vb/topic86568.html ] . People are searching the solution with the Modular Bay
"The Device in the system modular bay cannot be identified. It may not be completely inserted or may have some other problem. Please read and complete the following steps."
1. Press the device completely and firmly into the bay.
2. Press the ESC-key -- wait for the system to power down.
3. Press the power button to retry detecting the device.
Else, it might look as same as figure below that I have taken from one of my client.
In what mine scenario that had caused this error occur, since my client requested for upgrading the capacity of the physical memory module (RAM) for 512MB to 2GB. After a few minutes of troubleshoot, I have came out with a solution that it might be working for you or might not either. Hopefully, it working for everyone who have the same problem, that you might be cannot get rip of those ignoring error message as well as asking user to press F1, F2 and etc.
The solution steps are as follows:
- Once you see the above figure modular bay error, RESTART your laptop.
2. Then, press F2 to enter the BIOS mode like figure below.
4. Choose the "Modular Bay Devices" in selection just like figure above shown.
5. Inside the "Modular Bay Devices" section, you need to turn OFF the modular bay function,
just like figure below.
6. Then, press ESC and select "Save/Exit" to exit the BIOS setup mode as like figure below.
7. Then, restart the laptop and check once again whether the system will logon to the windows,
as it does usually.
