DELL N5050 won't turn on! HELP!!!

0
0
Hi I've had my Dell N5050 since October and last night while taking my laptop from one room to another it made a few abnormal clicking sounds and *** itself off in a very sketchy and odd manner. This morning, like everyday, I brought my laptop to school, plugged it in and it will not power on. When the power button is pressed the LED light in the bottom left hand corner of the laptop lights up for about 20 sec. than goes back out without the screen ever turning on or any obvious signs of the laptop working. The LED light turns on when it is on the charger but that hasn't helped anything either. This apparently happened over night and my laptop is very important to me, please help someone!!! Thank you.

Inspiron 14z

I have an inspiron 14z with a broken screen. Since it's out of warranty I'm going to replace my screen myself. The current screen is a WXGA (1366x768) screen. I'm wondering if I can upgrade to the WXGA++ (1600x900) instead. As far as I can tell, the 14z only had onboard video for both the WXGA and WXGA++ configurations so it doesn't seem like there should be any hardware problems. Is there any reason the upgrade wouldn't work?

Hi all

I hope you can help , i need to source some replacement screws for a Dell Latitude E6230 laptop. I have tried to find out what these are from Dell in a char session , but as yet they haven't been able to give me this information.

Due to an over keen cleaner I am after the following screws.

4 screws for the palm rest  left 1 is silver ?
2 screws for the bottom of the keyboard
2 screws to secure the keyboard

I don't mind paying for them again. Dell won't be able to help me out , but i just need to know what size the screws are and then i can try and source some replacements from somewhere.

Please can someone help.  I am in the UK.

Cheers

Silent Dell laptop?

0

I'm currently using XPS 15 with i7-2720QM and Geforce 540GT. Everything is fine with it EXCEPT this damn fan that turns on and off all the time and Dell's support gives a damn on that. They blame faulty Geforce and they say that nothing can be done about this...

Are there any laptops that don't have this issue and are very, very quiet in addition (maybe like no fan at all?).

Formatting the hard drive to reinstall windows ?

What are the steps to format the hard drive to reinstall the OS , from the restoration cd, and then try to get the drivers .  If it will allow you to connect .  Also if there is wifi on the laptop is it necessary to connect the network line to the back of the laptop until the rest of the drivers are installed.

 

Alienware m17x r3 poor performance without battery

Hi Everyone,

I've had some problems with my charger not being detected to the point that the battery is at 0%. I spoke to a rep who told me its most likely the charger so I have ordered one, unfortunately it will take a few weeks for the order to even be placed before they ship it.

Anyways, my issue is that the laptops performance in games has gone to unbearable. I used to only game when it was plugged in "obviously on battery mode the performance drops immensely" My question is, is there anyway to get top performance without have the battery charged, or even in the computer?

Batterys obviously have a lifespan of 1-3 years max, so within the life of the computer I will have to replace it a few times, but years from now they may not even make this battery model, I want to know I get the same performance without having a battery in. If not, theres really no point putting money into a computer that will work well until the battery dies.

So someone please, do I need the battery to play games with top performance, or is there a way to get it with just the charger?

Thanks,


How the hell do you contact Dell??!!

Pardon my French, but I'm at a complete loss as to how to find a number to phone.

 

I have an XPS L502X and need to replace the hard drive.

 

The laptop didn't come with any discs so I need to ask how I go about getting copies of all the software that came pre-installed on delivery.

 

It was purchased in December 2011 and the warranty has expired.

 

I'm in the UK.

 

None of the phone numbers seem to cover what I neeed to ask.

 

Can anyone suggest a number to call?

Inspiron N5040 No POST No Beep

0

Hello - I have an Insprion N5040 and it wont boot on battery nor AC Power.  It worked fine yesterday and then this morning nothing.  When the power button is pressed, the system acts as if it will start, the hard drive, fan and optical drives make noise but then suddenly stop after 2-3 seconds.  Again, no beep, no flashing lights. 

  • I've Disconnected the battery, AC Adapter and held the power button for 30 seconds to dump power. 
  • I checked the AC Adapter and check another AC Adapter in this model.  No change. 
  • I've re-seated memory for the heck of it even though I have no beep code.  No change.

Any ideas?  I figure either mother board or AC daughter card but I didnt want to order a part and not need it.  Thanks in advance.


Problem: Black screen on Inspiron 14z, beeps 8 times (please read details)

0

Hi,

Randomly my laptop starts with a black screen and beeps 8 times. Using F8, I tried repairing it and it worked but again I got this problem, especially when I restart my computer or install updates. 8 beeps as I have researched means I have an LCD problem but I tried the D button trick (holding D while pressing power) and I see all the colors. This happened again today and I got through to my laptop using F8 again but how do I stop this from happening?

Any help will be appreciated,

Thanks

Latitude 10 (ST2) 2-Cell Battery

0

Does anyone know the part number for the 2-cell 30 Whr battery for the Latitude 10 (ST2) tablet?

I'm having one heck of a time trying to order one.  One lady I talked to said a 2-cell battery doesn't exist, only 4-cell.  When I said that didn't make sense because many accessories only work with the 2-cell, like the case I ordered, I would have to return.  She kind of gave me attitude.

I chatted with someone and they said the 2-cell is not in stock.

I tried creating a new Latitude 10 order with only the 2-cell and it estimated shipping as the next day.  I would think if it's out of stock it would show a delayed delivery.

I'm starting to get very annoyed.  What's going on?

Thanks.
