Latitude E7470 - Problem with DPTF not loading

$
0
0

We are fielding a number of these, with Win7 x64 Enterprise as the OS.  As part of the build process, after we apply the corporate image, we update or install the various Dell drivers - one of which is DPTF (Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Manager).

I've noticed on some (should have checked all, in retrospect) that there is a Warning log entry in the System log:

Today I had a user's E7470 Blue-Screen on her.  The STOP code was 0x0000007E.  When I dug down into MSINFO32. I found that the Windows Driver Foundation Driver Framework service won't load the DPTF driver.  I did a reinstall with the latest version and still saw the error on reboot.

Network Group Policy has that service configured for Manual startup, and the Recovery tab has it set for a Restart of the service for the first 2 occurences.

I'm at a loss to understand why this is happening.  Any ideas out there?

My touchpad is acting erratically. I searched everywhere in here and can't find out how i can fix my problem. I am using Win 7. My mouse and the pointer are fine, but my touchpad pointer is moving slowly, jumps around, and or disappears in the corners. No touchpad hardware or device exists in my dell laptop.

Dell XPS13 Heats Up and Shuts Down

$

I have Dell XPS 13 L221X. I updated it to Windows 10. I see the laptop heats up (upper half of the bottom of the laptop) and it then randomly shuts down. I feel it happens when I am loading a page that has video, ads etc, I hear sometime fan go on, and it then shuts down. Invariably, when this happens seems like the laptop has heated up. Any thoughts?

Inspiron 15 5547 power button light

Can someone tell me for sure that the LED on the power button is supposed to light up?  I swear mine worked.  I sent it to Dell to have the hinge problem fixed, which I see a lot of you had issues with.  Well, when I got it back the light no longer comes on.  Dell is trying to say it never came on.  That this model doesn't have a light.  I said, why does it have the rectangle clear lens for a light?  They just keep saying it doesn't have one.  They said they would send a copy of specs that show this.  Never did.  I have several people that agree with me.  But, looking for more support to confront Dell.

XPS 15 Freezing

$

I can confirm the issue is happening regularly on a brand new machine (custom build direct from Dell) that arrived last week. No other software or hardware has been installed - it happens just using Chrome with no other applications running. Task Manager never shows any spikes. The freeze lasts about 60 seconds with and without the cursor. Simply unacceptable for a $2,000 premium machine.

Have new Inspiron 3552.  Second time I started it, it went black screen upon my entering the password and although I have tried video instructions, Power cord w/o battery, D+Power numerous times (of which ran longer than the other options), the screen remained black and the 8 beeps would repeat.  Any additional recommendations before I call Dell?

WM326 Erratic Movement

Hi, I have a brand new Dell mouse, WM326, and right out of the box it has extremely erratic movement on the screen.  The cursor moves perfectly with the touchpad and the USB ports all work fine with other devices. I've tried all the ports, changing the battery, and restarting the computer with no success. I've also plugged the mouse into a desktop computer and it is still erratic. My laptop is an Inspiron 15 3000 Series, if that matters. Since I cant find any information on this product online, what steps should I take to either resolve this or get a replacement that will work?

Hi Dell Community,

I have a Latitude E5440 with Win7 Prof 64bit. It has two USB 3.0 ports. Can't detect SanDisk USB3 storage (Windows doesn't detect it and there isn't any power provided to the device) but disable BIOS USB3 controller works fine for USB2. 

I have already installed the latest A17 BIOS /Chipset driver and USB3 driver, the device manager shows:

Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller (ver 2.5.0.19)

Intel USB 3.0 Root Hub (ver 2.5.0.19)

Latitude e6530 doesn't recognise original Dell chargers

$

Hello all!

I've recently bought my first Dell laptop, and couldn't be happier with the build quality, but the reliability doesn't seem that great.

BIOS says every original Dell adapter I plug in is "Unknown AC adapter", even after I replaced the power jack to a brand new original one. If the motherboard is faulty, is it repairable via soldering? I'm guessing there is an ID chip somewhere which is faulty and doesn't detect any of the chargers (all the chargers work on other Dell laptops). 

Obviously I can't flash the BIOS, because it doesnt recognise the AC adapter...

Also 90W or 130W charger for an i7 3720qm + nvidia NVS 5200 onboard VGA combo?

Thanks in advance!

No Longer see Driver Data for my Service Tag

I can no longer see driver information for my XPS 15 9550 accessing by my service tag. I have to use a generic XPS 15 9550 page to get it. What is going on?

Also, this CAPTCHA confirmation is becoming a real pain. It can be impossible at times to determine what pictures apply to what they ask. I tried twice to get this posted after going through several image sets. Can there be a simpler way of doing this? It is getting out of hand.
