I saw that there were others with this issue. I already tried things like resetting the ram, taking out my battery. Even with my laptop plugged in, not lights are showing up and the power button isnt starting anything. I tried to listen and hear if anything was happening, but no luck. I just to get help if there is anything I can do to trouble shoot or just figure out what the issue is so I can get it fixed . I was running Windows 10 on there. 

Dell Inspiron N5110 - Won't work with battery

Hi

My Dell Inspiron N5110 works just fine if I plug it into the AC power without putting the battery in but if I put the battery in it crashes immediately and will neither charge or boot. It has become a desk bound laptop but hopefully there is a fix that can set it free again...

Dell XPS temperatures when rendering and closed

0
0

Hi folks. I just got a 15-inch XPS and I work with 3D. Mainly 3DS Max. The machine is awesome.

Question: can it handle pure rendering? The machine is pretty fast and I got temperatures like 82-83 degrees Celcius while using 100% of the CPU for minutes. It this ok? For a desktop CPU with stock cooler its ok, I know... but I can render stuff for like hours and no problem?

Of course I plan to buy one of those stands with coolers below to help cooling but for now I do not need to worry about it or I really should avoid it?

And using it in shell mode (with external monitors attached and closed), things might get worse?

I know I'm being kinda too scared but this is a pretty expensive machine and I really want to avoid any problems.
Thanks!

"application init error" when accessing Dell support web site

0

I have just done a fresh install of Windows 10 on an Inspiron 17 and want to update drivers. I go to the Dell support web site and want to start the automatic system detection. The result is an error page saying: "Error: 500 Server Error. Application Init Error. We are unable to display the requested page."

Then I enter my service tag. Here, the result is that the service tag is not found (I am paraphrasing a Japanese message).

Perhaps there is a problem with the Japanese web site? I go to the front page at dell.com and change the country to USA. After a moment, the same Japanese front page is displayed again.

Any suggestions what I can do to update the drivers?

Hello

I just bought DELL latitude E5470 with windows 10 installed on it.

I want to Intsall Windows 7 pro 64 bits because for me it's better. But everytime I want to install it using USB drive I got this error message :

"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. 

Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step"

Please help me to solve this problem

P.S: My laptop is compatible with windows 7 because I have the KEY in the back of it.

Drivers stop Touchpad from functioning.

My touchpad drivers stop the touchpad from functioning. Anyone else run into this kind of error before? The Dell drivers stop my touchpad from working and uninstalling them results in a working Touchpad. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Touchscreen stops working randomly, while still using the computer with no down time.

dfs.agent.winservice

Got back last Tuesday after a surgery with drawings that HAD to get out for permits.  My Precision 7810 was all but frozen.  Rebooted and same problem. Checked Task Mgr and CPU was 99% in use with an odd file dfs.agent.winservice eating 97%.  Fortunately I saw the name of file on Dell Community but solution was not clear.  Fortunately I got a Dell Tech on the phone and he walked me thru the entire process of disabling that file permanently with 'Service' function. If I had not checked Task Mgr and reached Dell Tech my office would have been shut down for the holiday and my project failed deadline.

I strongly suggest calling Dell if you have this issue.  It is DEVASTATING, but so far I have not seen how or why this could happen, just corruption with a Windows 10 update.


Dell XPS 15 FHD - no display calibration

Hi guys, 

This is a question for NON-4K  XPS 15 owners

I'm interested in buying this for photo work but need to be able to calibrate the display. I've read online somewhere that (for reasons unknown?) the non-4k version doesn't have the DELL PREMIER COLOR application for adjusting display and so you're stuck with what you've got.

Is this true? Thank you. It's toughing getting an answer on this via email from Dell. So trying here!

Thank you again. 

XPS 13 Power/Charging Indicator Issue

0

Hi Dell Community,

I have recently bought a used XPS 13 L322x in excellent condition with Windows 10 64-bit on it. However, power/charging light present in front of the trackpad is not working normally. When the laptop is ON, the light is white and when the laptops is charging, the light is orange. But when the Laptop is fully charged, the light does not change to white but it remains orange as long as the laptop is plugged in. When I put the laptop to sleep, its power indicator does not blink but instead the light turns OFF.

Latest BIOS and Drivers are already installed on the PC, Everything else is working fine. What should I do?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hello,
I have 2 common problems with Dell Vostro 5568 on a Linux:
1. After suspending Linux won't get up. Black screen is something what you will see.
2. Keyboard illumination problem - on any Linux which were tested by me, after lock screen that is plugged in, keyboard wont illuminate - its off, but if you touch a touchpad it will turn on.. and when you get back you hand, it will turn off.... and so on.

I test this laptop on Ubuntu (lots of variants - Ubuntu Gnome/Budgie Remix/Zorin OS, original Ubuntu), Fedora, Linux Mint.

Every distro have exacly same problems.
I use Nvidia Drivers from official Ubuntu repository - 367.57 - which is up to date.

Sorry for my poor english.
Pls help me.

Anyway on official Dell Website i cannot find any special Linux image and instructions are incorrect or out of date.

Dell Latitude 7350 Buzzing/Squealing Noise

0
0

I've had a Dell Latitude 7350 for a few months now, and it's had this issue since buying it. I sent it in to the repair depot twice, and they claimed to have fixed the problem by replacing various parts (main logic board, daughter board, speaker, etc.), but it is still here. I'm at a point that I am just living with it because Dell support does absolutely nothing to help. 

The issue is that the laptop will make a weird buzzing/static/clicking noise that seems to come from the bottom left speaker or from the base of the laptop where it meets the keyboard. The issue comes randomly and cannot be replicated on demand, but it's incredibly annoying. When the sound is happening, disconnecting the tablet portion will make the noise go away, but reattaching it will make it come back. 

The sound is like the video below:

If anyone has any fixes or is experiencing the same problem, please let me know. 

Dell Xps 9350 system bios 1.4.4

A week ago this problem started , when the computer is booting and plugged in it stops at the Dell Supportassist

"Alert The power adapter wattage and type cannot be determined. The battery may not charge. The system will adjust the performance to match the power available."

When I  click on Diagnostics and I get "testing completed . One or more errors but doesn't say what the issue is. I've run this about 5 times with same results.  

I am using the proper power cord, I run it without being plugged in a lot.  

Now the battery will not hold a charge and only works if it's plugged in and at 1%

I do not want to open it up while it's under warranty

Thank you, Happy Holidays
