I happen to have lots of minor scratches on the bottom of my Dell Inspiron 13-7352 Special Edition 2-in-1 laptop. But recently, the top part of the rubber, behind the screen, has this undelighted scratches, that are some what deep and makes the computer look horrible. I did a google search and youtube search, and didn't find a solution for my issue. So what should I do to get rid of these scratches?

There was an update that I downloaded from Dell and then when I started the computer up again all they kept saying was "no bootable devices found". The only option I had was a blue shutdown button on the lower right hand corner. How do I get out of this?

XPS 15 9560 & TB16 - Triple Monitors Issues

0
0

Recently purchased a XPS 15 9560 (fully spec'ed) along with a TB16 Thunderbolt dock. I have 3 x Dell U2414H.

I have been trying to set up the TB16 dock to have three monitors running; 1 monitor per port at the back of the Dock:- (HDMI, Mini Displayport & Displayport).

However whenever I try to connect the full Display port, the unit freezes my notebook.

I have run through the suggested set up a few times (automated and manual); reinstalling all the drivers and firmware updates, but with no success.

Appreciate if anyone on the forum has encountered this issue, or should I be logging a ticket with Dell.

Thanks in advance.

XPS 13" 9360 Slowness

I have bought it new. I have several things which couldn't satisfy me.


1. After shutdown, it takes 20 seconds to show login screen and after login it takes 5-6 seconds to be ready, So it takes total 26-30 seconds to be ready, Is it expected? I think no but need your inputs ( I still didn't install any app yet. Just updated drivers.)


2. About cooling. It is not getting much warm  for now but i just use  firefox or chrome or edge to browsing or watching moves for now. But even just browsing internet, i see cooling fan run often. Usually It is not much noise but sometimes it gives some sounds like clicking (htt p://szynalski.com/tone#7969)

( it mentions me like reading data from a broken cd/dvd). * yes it is not getting much warm because fan run much. I was expecting a laptop which this price run more cool ((

Can you please share your idea?

XPS13 9350 Touchpad jumping since Creators Update

0
0

Another update, another several weeks I'm sure of fing about with this stupid laptop and it's garbage drivers!

Can anyone suggest a solution for the touchpad jumping about on this machine since the Windows 10 Creators Update. This is the driver I have and it's worse than when I first got this stupid machine:

HID-compliant touch pad
Publisher: Microsoft (21/06/2006 - 10.0.15063.0)

So it looks like i have a 10 year old default driver for this touchpad, but the Dell Update program is telling me I have the most up-to-date drivers and a scan using Dell System Detect from the dell website also says no new drivers are to be had!!!

Web browsing has also been painfully slow since the update and add the random decisions taken by the touchpad and this laptop is just useless once again! I may sound a bit pessimistic but i have spent over 300 hours with Dell support or rebuilding 4 maybe 5 different XPS 13's over the last two years due to various issues and Dell refusing to give me my money back despite their product being not fit for purpose.

Do I seriously have to go through all the drivers again manually downloading each one and applying them one by one?

Why so many firmware upgrades?

0
0

I have an XPS 13 (9350) and the Dell support assistant is very convenient for upgrades - but I think it's more than a little strange that there's an 'urgent' firmware upgrade every 2-3 months. Dell please tell me why are there such frequent changes to the bios? I am surprised this is the case with something like a bios.  Thanks

Recovery DELL

I bought a DELL precision 3510 during an auction in my previous company.

The laptop is in warranty until 2019. I was trying to reinstall windows 7 (because of course they tried to block access to the old installation, so there was the error and the reqiest to reinstall the software).

I checked the pc and after 30 minutes no errors. So I downloaded the Operating System optimized for my laptop directly from the DELL warranty status page.

I tried to flash the bios with the last update, secure boot NO, legalize boot...but I have always the same error, a blue screen with "...the system is not fully compliant with ACPI. Contact (DELL) for an updated bios"

What I can do?

Regards

memory compatibility

HI,

I have a Inspiron 15 Gaming 7567 laptop with a 8GBs of memory. I'm wanting to upgrade the memory to 16GBs.

Right now I have 'dual in-line memory module 8GB, 2400 , 1RX8 8G, DDR4 S' DIMM. Part number is MKYF9.

There is an 8GB replacement chip recommended for it which is 2RX8 SODIMM and also a 2400MHz chip.

I believe my laptop has a spot for another DIMM since it only has one now. I was thinking of installing the latter one in that spot.

However the 1RX8 for the one already in it, versus the 2RX8 for the proposed addition bothers me. Are they compatible? And what if any issues or side effects might happen if I was to attempt to upgrade the memory in this way? Performance issues?

Thanks!

Don

Dell XPS 15 not turning on

When I try and turn on my Dell XPS 15, nothing happens except for the keyboard lights turning on. Sometimes, if I hit it lightly near the lower right corner it will make the usual "zzzz" noise (I don't know what that noise is from) but still nothing else happens.

Dell inspiron 15 5577 is the worst laptop ever created

Right out of the box this thing is slow as ***. Its slower than a 10 year old laptop. Its like its running on a pentium 4 or something. I tried almost everything and it still super slow. What a complete waste of money. I can't believe they shipped this without testing if it even works. I wanted to try and swap the hdd out for an ssd but guess what? No product key and no disk so I can't easily do that. I am litterally blown away by the crappiness of this laptop. I have never encountered something like this with any laptop ever. Even a *** dell mini 10 runs faster than this piece of ***. 


Latitude e5420 Won't Boot After BIOS Upgrae

0

I upgraded a Latitude e5420 to BIOS a02, After the upgrade, the laptop will get to the Dell splash screen, then reboot...and just keep rebooting to the splash screen. The hard drive light blinks before each reboot.

I Reinstalled Windows 7, then upgraded the BIOS to A14 and it is doing the same thing. Cannot get past the splash screen, then rebooting.

I ran all the onboard diagnostics and the hardware passed all tests.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Swollen Battery on XPS 9550 and touch pad hard to press

0

Bought dell xps 9550 on March of 2016 and after a year and  2 months the touchpad is difficult to press and select text. Its kind of dissapointing to see this issue on this expensive laptops. Had owned sony vaio and other laptops and never had such issue. Called dell and no help due to out of warranty. The guy tried to convince me is not the battery problem and to sign up for warranty so i can ship my laptop to them. This is *** since i already pulled the battery out and can see it's swollen. Also the touchpad worked after laptop was off and the battery cooled down for some time. Whennit swelled up again and went to the same problem. Decided just to buy battery myself and change it out. Not getting another dell in the future.

Hi,

I downloaded the latest (and older) versions of the BIOS update (e.g. A17) and I tried to UPDATE BIOS by running the exe under win10 and I even created a bootable devise following DELL instructions.

Both run through, but while booting no update happened. I checked windows logs, but no indication whatsoever.

Does anyone had the same problem and can help? Please no general advices :-)

Is the SSD in a 3189 Chromebook upgradeable?

If I buy a 3189 with a 16GB or 32GB SSD is that later upgradeable to a larger SSD?  (Say 64GB).   What's the maximum SSD size it can support?   Is there a way to port the OS and all files from the original SSD to the new SSD?
