We're trying to install Microsoft Bitlocker encryption on some Latitude 7480's with both Windows 10 Enterprise 64  bit 1607 & 1703.  They have the latest bios update 1.4.6 on May 31 but a Microsoft error comes up - Bitlocker could not be enabled.  The Bitlocker encryption key cannot be obtained from the Trusted Platform module (TPM).  C: drive was not encrypted.  Has anyone else seen this?

I have a Dell Inspiron 15-5578 and I would buy an active pen for writing notes of the lessons that I have to follow (since I'm a student).

My question is: does the dell produce a pen supported by this 2-in-1 laptop?

Upgrading wireless network adapter

0
0

Hello,

I'm considering upgrading the wireless card for my laptop.Currently have an Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260 on an Inspiron 7537 running Windows 10 64 bit. I'm looking to upgrade to an ac card to get better speed from my wifi. I currently have my eyes on the Intel 7260.HMWG.R Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 but I'm not entirely sure my device supports it. If it doesnt or there is a better performing option, any recommendations would be appreciated. As I understand it, some manufacturers also have whitelists built into the BIOS. I've also come across guides that say to ensure the new card has the same about of adapters as the old but I'm not entirely sure how to confirm this.

Thanks,

Senah

Dell M3800 Battery issue - where to buy a new one?

0
0

You can see in the photos.

The battery on my M3800 got that problem 2 years ago and many areas are bloated.

I took it out this morning because the track pad was "pop out".

Could you please tell me where I can buy a new one? The authentic one.

Many thanks!

Best,

Old power adapter does not work for new laptop

0
0

Hi,

I bought a new Inspiron 17 5000, which comes with 65 W power adapter. Good. Now I want to use my old laptop power adaptor(I have many) when I move from place to place. I got small hardware connector connection from old adapter to new laptop. The indication shows it is charging as expected. But actually it is not charging. I do not think that is the problem of my small hardware adapter.

Is there anything I can do to make old adapter work for new laptop?

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have Dell Inspiron 13 7000 series laptop, recently I came up with having trouble with the keyboard, it behaves oddly. The "tab" key acts as windows key, "windows key" acts as "letter v" key..some keys are not working at all.. The behavior that I found is , every time I update BIOS with the update from Dell Site, the keyboard starts working..but the next day (shutting down and accessing the system the other day), the same thing happens. I have to re-update the BIOS to make the keyboard work

XPS 13 - WiFi disconnects on suspend, slow to reconnect on resume

Hi, 

My XPS 13 (Windows 10) disconnects from WiFi when it suspends, and is slow to reconnect on powering back up.  I have tried disabling "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" under Power Management options for the Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter, but that doesn't solve the problem.  Does anyone know of other options to try to solve this?  Thanks!

Hi,

I updated to the new windows 1730 update and now when i close the laptop lid , the computer thinks i basically pulled the plug like on a desktop and it restarts asking to check for any issues.  I cannot open the lid and have the previous screen prompt where it just asks for your password.

Anybody experience these issues as well??

Wifi not working Lat E5550 Win10

Hi,

After initial Imaging with win10 the wifi works, then after some updates (driver update blocked too) it inexplicably stops picking up any SSIDs. 2 of 4 identical laptops have this issue. Diags don't help, wifi drivers from dell site refuse to install saying theres a newer version available. Removing the driver doesn't help. 

Cheers,

Dell stylus "sleeping"?

0
0

Hello everyone. I am experiencing an unusual issue with my Dell Active Stylus 750-AAGN. I have put a fresh AAAA battery in it like 3 months ago and it had never seen more than a 2 hours of screen time per week. The problem is that every once and then the stylus just stops reacting to screen. I can't recall this happening during use but rather when I put it down for some time and pick it up to write something. The only way to "revive" it is opening the back making the battery slide down and then back to its place. 

I have decided to touch the screen with my stylus every five minutes to test whether it just goes idle or not. And so far, it is alive. My question is that whether this is an intended feature? Did the designers intend the stylus to be opened every time before not using for some time? 

Thanks a lot for your input. 

Highly appreciated :)

Dell Inspiron 15 (7559) - Laptop Powers on, Nothing appears on screen and Light indicator flashes White and Orange

0

Good Morning all,

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 (7559) Laptop.  When I went to go power on the laptop, the keyboard lights up, but nothing appears on screen.  I also noticed the "Battery Light" indicator on the laptop was flashing.  It would flash white four times and then flash orange two times.  In the beginning I thought my laptop had died so I went ahead and charged the laptop.  I was able to charge the laptop, so I'm thinking that the battery is still good.  I'm hoping someone out here on these forums can help me diagnose and resolve this issue before I contact tech support.  Any information you guys/gals can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dell Latitude 7370 | High Temperature | CPU Underclocking

0
0

I have about 37 pcs of Latitude 7370, all of them have same performance issue - it is very slow after some minutes of working, typically with graphics operation like MS RDP window, etc....

The cause is that CPU is strictly underclocking to 0,26 GHz. It is horrible, every writing letters have a delay about 3 seconds.

No any help from Dell Support here in Czech Republic. Their Official statement is "It's a feature".

I'm confused because this very expensive laptop is unusable and nothing at all.

Do you have a same experience or do you have something what helps ?

thank you,

Lukas

I have an Inspiron 15 5559 with W10 and am trying to change the HD to an SSD.  The SSD is a SATA III.  The startup screen says "No Hard Drive Installed".  Will this laptop accept this drive?  Do I have to go into BIOS to do this?  Thank you for any replies. 

XPS 15 9550 - Shutting down after FIRST boot

0
0

First time I power up the computer after a normal shutdown, the computer will shut down after a few minutes, then when I turn it on again and everything is working fine.

However, if I close the lid or shut it down and open it again, it will shut down again after a few minutes. 

I've tried updating everything and running diagnotic test but nothing was found.

This is really getting annoying.

I have a Dell XPS 9550.

See image: 

The image shows my event logs for the last month.

"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

Thanks
