Hi, I was wondering where I could get a replacement set of screws for my Alienware R15 R3 back cover? One of my screws got stripped when re-installing.

Has anyone tried using the recovery disc available at dell support site? I was not able to create or clone my factory issue SSD and I used to reinstall windows using the recovery disc but only to find out that it does not come with the drivers. You have to manually download everything from drivers to application.

I notice there are two ISO available.

I tried the second one (for dell) but that does not have any drivers included. What is the difference between the two? i was hoping to get an recovery disc that included everything.

Cant contact Technical support.

XPS 13 9360 : very often hangs on a black screen while resuming from hibernation

0
0

I have done two things on my XPS 13 9360 :


- deactivate "connected standby" because I found that my laptop had woken up and used all my battery at least once

- activate hibernation after 240 mins of sleep to save battery


It works except that, very very often (almost always), it "locks up" on a black screen after the DELL logo when resuming from hibernation.


I've never had such issues on any other laptop, what can be the reason and how to solve that ?


Thank you for your help

Dell 7510 add USB and 2nd Drive to boot sequence

0

I have a Dell 7510 (2-SSD drives) and I am using UEFI.  I would like to run/boot UBUNTU 16.04 USB Live and Linux Mint 18 USB Live from the USB port.  After testing from the USB ports I will then install them into the two PCIe SSD drives and change the boot sequence to run one or the other. 

When I look at the UEFI boot sequence I do not see a USB option or the second PCIe SSD drive.

Can you help me add the USB and other drive to the boot sequence table?

 

 

 

Another help with be appreciated

XPS 13 9350 latest BIOS stopped mine from sleeping

0
0

Latest BIOS was applied to my XPS 13 9350 last night using the Dell Updater software, I think its version 1.6? Anyway the battery drained overnight because it did not go to sleep. Checked the event logs and as usual nothing to indicate what's waking it up, and no wake timers showing . Tried to send it to sleep again a number of times and it would wake immediately. Sleep worked fine on previous BIOS 1.4.4, Anyway I wonder if Dell treat the "fail to sleep" symptoms as highly as other hardware issues when releasing BIOS patches. For me its the number one issue, my laptop must go asleep correctly and stay asleep otherwise the battery will be useless from charging it too frequently.  I had to downgrade the BIOS to the previous version, that seems to have cured it. I'll wait to see if there's further news on this.

I am a engineering student and i ve been working on my project with MATLAB. last wednesday I finished my class and back home for the project, it took me almost 20seconds to open matlab. and the processing speed goes real low like taking 5seconds to open the task manager and stuck when im typing

swear to god its not like this last month. i bought it only for a two months everything goes well. I installed nothing  let alone  dropping or any damage to such expensive lap. just suddenly the speed collapse. i did the recovery for disk C and issue still exists. I run all the test even asked for remote diagnosis and the technician says it seems normal(***!)

I thought it might be hardware issue. Now im asking for help if anyone knows whats wrong with my lap. sending back for repair is my last choice since I really need it for my project.

Hi,

I have a Dell Vostro 5470, and over the past few days Its been really difficult to switch on my laptop. Sometimes I have to press many times for it to switch on, as though it's by luck.

I think it may be a connectivity issue with the power button.

Your help is appreciated thanks

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series 7559 - Install Windows 7

0

Hello: 

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series 7559 laptop that came pre-loaded with Windows 10.  The Anniversary update  for WIn 10 refuses to install with error code 0x80070003 and I have tried multiple things from online research all to no avail.  Tired of the thing constantly downloading the update for it to fail... Sick of Win 10 frankly as well as it truly is horrid.  My question:  is there anything preventing me from reformatting my C Drive and installing Win 7 Ultimate x64 on this laptop model?  I assume I could pick up the needed Win 7 drivers from the Dell site.  Please advise.

Inspiron 5758 headphone jack?

0
0

My 5758 inspiron documentation shows where the audio I/O jack is and simply labels it as 2.5mm headset jack.  I can't locate any more information on it.  

What is the correct plug type that fits the jack (3 or 4 contact) and what are the signals?
