Inspiron 15 5578 (Core i7 7th Gen) Screen Issue

0
0

Hello, everyone

I have a brand new Inspiron 5578 and for some reason I've been experiencing some screen scrambling. Sometimes it happens on the whole screen or just covers some part of it on the right side.

I tried to solve this problem by updating my Intel HD Graphics driver and BIOS. That didn't help, unfortunately.

I also ran the LCD BIST a couple of times, couldn't find any problem with the screen.

Maybe, somebody else here have experienced the same problem? What can you suggest here?

Edit: I forgot to mention that the screen starts flickering under load, and the flickering in not constant. In other cases display works perfectly. I usually fix it by closing and opening the lid, but it's a temporary workaround.

I need to be able to break off an excel macro that's running. There is no break key on my keyboard nor on the OnScreen Keyboard.

None of the key combinations that I found on the forum or other websites, seem to work. 

What is the right way to do it?

Upgrading Dell Inspiron 15 (5558)

0
0

I'll start off by saying I bought my laptop back in Oct of 2015 and I've been using my Inspiron 15 daily, and most part it gets the job done. I'm able to use my Wacom Bamboo easily and Adobe Flash works well enough but takes a minute to open. I've noticed the HDD is starting to show its age already. Bootup takes minutes now, and the Disk is constantly running at 100% when only Chrome is open. I'm no tech expert but seems to be early signs of hard drive failure even though it barely leaves my desk and has about 870GB/1TB free.

So I hopped on Amazon to get a replacement SSD, a SATA 3.0 USB connector, and a 16GB thumbdrive for backup & recovery.

This is my first upgrade, I've been looking up videos but just don't wanna mess anything up when I take the 1TB HDD out and put the SSD in there. Will I be safe making a backup of Windows 10 to the 16GB thumbdrive, then proceeding to replace the HDD for a clean install of Windows?

Thanks!

Wanted:XPS 13 9360 Synaptics Touchpad Firmware

Hi guys, I was trying to mess around with the touchpad driver on my new bought xps 13.

I tried with the latest driver on Synaptics website, but it didn't help much.

Then I found a driver on dell website that turned out to be a firmware update. Its for the 2015 version xps 13 so its outdated. I tried it anyways, and then the touchpad stopped working.

Right now the device manager cannot even detect my touchpad, and the firmware version shows from firmware update software changed from 2xxxxx to unknown.

It would be much appreciated if someone can give me the latest/compatible touchpad firmware for dell xps 13 9360. The executive file called SynReflash.exe, and it comes with mup file and package file.

Seagate firmware update failed

Hello


Using dell inspiron 5448 with HDD 1 TB + SSD 8 GB, windows 10, 64 bit working fine.

Found the new Seagate fimware on the dell support as follows

Seagate ST500LM000/ST1000LM014 Firmware Update

File Name: Kahuna V_ZPE.exe

Description:Hard-Drive (47.16 MB)

Version:DEMM/DEMN ,A05

The installation failed on my laptop with an alarm box showing unable to identify the boot partition, please use the USB boot key or CD ISO image of this utility instead.

Confused since installation instruction said just download and it will be automatically installed.

Called Dell but the agent said nothing they could do.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Side USB not working in Windows 10 (Latitude E5550)

Hi all.

I just put Windows 10 x64 Pro on my Latitude E5550 notebook and I see the USB port from the right side is not wotking.

When I stick a USB stick in it nothing happens, when I stick it in the back everything works fine.

I checked Device Manager, no devices with "!" there. I also removed all the devices under USB Controllers, rebooted but nothing happens (the devices/drivers are put automatically by Win but the port is still not working).

Any ideas why? (not using a dock or something like this)

Thank you in advance!


What touchpad does XPS 13 9360 have?

0

I was heard on some forums saying the touchpad driver on dell xps 13 can be downloaded from synaptics website. I tried those drivers before my touchpad was broken. It worked but not that precise. 

I also used to configure two fingre/three touching on Elan and alps touchpads.

So my question is, do all xps 13 9360 laptop use synaptics touchpad, or some other brand?

Thanks in advance.

Mobile Broadband on Precision M6800 - is it possible?

0
0

Contacted Dell about purchasing a WWAN card for Verizon for my Precision M6800.  They told me to buy the 5802 LTE/4G Mobile Broadband Mini-Card.  After purchasing / installing the card, I can't find any drivers for it that will install on the Precision M6800.  Every installation comes up with notification "This is not a DELL system".  

After 2 hours on support with them, was informed that the 5802 is not compatible, and that I would need the 5808 instead.  Except the 5808 is a different physical size / shape and will not fit into the Precision M6800. 

So, has anybody been able to get a Mobile Broadband card to work on a Precision M6800?  If so, what did you use and how did you do it?

Thanks,

-Devin.

Hi, I have Dell N 5010 laptop, and I was using my laptop without any problem till last night. I turned off my laptop with proper shut-down. But when I tried to turn on my laptop today, it didn't get on. Then I removed the battery and pressed the power button for 1 min and inserted the battery, tried again to turn it on, but it didn't get on.

Later on I plugged it with the charger, adapter was on as green light was on in the adapter, but laptop was not indicating that it was plugged in as battery charging indication light was not on nor blinking. So kindly suggest me what I should do for this? What could be the problem.

Thanks and Regards,

Gur Swaroop.
