Hinge to crashing at 50c 7559

$
0
0

Hello, I had the hinge issue with the left hinge clicking. I clicked into place while it was running and it crashed. Since then it crashes whenever it reaches 50c.

I've since fixed the hinge issue, applied paste and cleaned fans, it still crashes when it reaches 50c. Updated bios, run diagnostics, the problem persists.

I'm really far away from any official support centres and with an expired warranty. I could use any ideas on what exactly is wrong here to pass along to local repair man. Lots of people seem to have this hinge problem but as far as I can tell I'm the only one who got temperature problems along with it, so what gives?

Thanks

Dell TB16 - Latitude 7370 various issues

$

We have a Tb16 dock in at the moment for trial. It is very unstable on our Latitude 7370's

We've installed all the latest drives from Dell, updated firmware on both the Dock and the laptops but still face issues

The main problem problem as far as I can see is the ASMedia USB 3.0 Extended Host Controller Driver , when installed the dock will just not work with ethernet or USB. No connection at all. If we remove this driver and allow Microsoft to install it's own version then the USB and Ethernet ports work OK however then another issue occurs, the connection constantly drops out over and over again , internet drops out, USB stops working (with the familiar sound you hear when you disconnect a USB device from a PC) and then reconnects again, this happens over and over again. I use the NIRSOFT tool USBLogView and there was hundreds of connects and disconnects over a few hours

The only way we've managed to get it stable is to either put the device into air plane mode or put the power setting on the WiFi adapter down to 1 which obviously isn't a good work around

This isn't just one one laptop either, this is on all our Latitude 7370's we've tested

Dell Latitude 5580 with WD15 PXE Boot

$

Hello together,

we have new test systems from Dell (5580, 5480, 7480 and 7280) and the new Dell dock WD15.

To installing our clients, we booting with PXE to starting our Windows 7 / Windows 10 installation. In the BIOS settings we have activate

  • Settings - System Configuration - Thunderbolt Adapter Configuration - Enable ThunderboltAdapter Pre-boot Modules
  • Settings - System Configuration - Thunderbolt Adapter Configuration - Enable Thunderbolt Adapter Boot Support
  • Settings - POST Behavior - Fastboot - Thorough
  • Settings - System Configuration - Integrated NIC - Enable w/PXE

After this default settings, I change the Boot Sequence order

  1. USB NIC(IPV4)
  2. OnBoard NIC(IPV4)
  3. Windows Boot Manager (Harddisk)

The Idea:
I have set USB NIC to first postion, then when the user dock in the WD15, the client is using the network from the WD15 and not the OnBoard netcard. When the user plug in the cable into the OnBoard netcard, then I will be received the message USB NIC have no cable and he will check the connection on the OnBoard netcard.

Now my problem:
When I remove my WD15 from the notebook, the client is booting from PXE OnBoard - thats OK! But when I plugin again the WD15, the Boot order was changed.

  1. Onboard NIC(IPV4)
  2. Windows Boot Manager (Harddisk)
  3. USB NIC(IPV4)

The LAN capel is connected in the WD15 and not in the OnBoard netcard. Now, the client is starting, will not found a network connection on the OnBoard netcard and is booting into Windows. But I neet a PXE boot on my USB NIC.

Is there a way to set everytime the USB NIC to the first position, when a user is plugin or -off his client from the WD15? I know there is the option to press F12, but I need a solution with any intarction with the user.

Beste regards

Jens

Hey!

I ordered Dell Inspiron 5567 laptop from my local retailer and it did not have backlit keyboard. I have seen the same model with backlit keyboard in Dell's official page. So I was wondering that if I order new backlit keyboard from ebay is it possible to replace it. The main question is does every model of inspiron 5567 has a backlit keyboard connector. If it is possible, is there a manual how to do it?

Thanks in advance!

How to know if my RAM is bad, or if it's the motherboard??

Ok, so I'm the guy that opened up this post:

It was a motherboard issue, so I bought a new one. And the computer boots!!!

...but then it gives out four beeps, which seems to indicate that it can't read the RAM. :(

I managed to make it go past twice by rearranging the sticks, but I can't get it back again.

Is there a way to know if it's my RAM, or if the motherboard maybe came slightly damaged??

I was...so...close...

Wireless wifi driver for a Inspiron 13 7000

Hello! Folks im new here my nane is Juan and i am from Argentina. I bought a Dell Inspiron 13 7000 in a shop and they changed it twice because the laptop was not able to find mine or any wireless network around my area where my apartment.

So then i found out in the Devices Administrstion window that the laptops the shop were given to me had no wireless or wifi drivers installed from origin. I mean in the adaptators window inside the Device Administration were only two bluetooth drivers but no wireless ones.

Do you think that that is the problem why the laptop cannot find any wireless network around? (a list of them)

If that is the problem, could anyone tell me where i can get an updated wifi drivers? Because what i found on any Dell website that i entered from Argentina i could not find any suitable. The laptop rejects their installation.

Could you tell me the exact name for a Inspiron 13 7000.

Thanks a lot!

Juan

Touchpad - How to disable Touch to Click

New Dell Inspiron 5567.

In all of my previous computers from different companies but not Dell, "Mouse Properties" has included one additional tab on the far right of the tabs, which has a setting to Disable Touch to Click.

Mouse Properties on this laptop does not have that, nor can I find that simple but for me essential setting option.

How do I do that?

When scrolling, it will periodically scroll at top speed on its own to top or bottom of web page.

I purchased an Inspiron 15 5567 last November.

Shortly after I began using it, I found that the optical drive would not eject (it will open using the paperclip-in-the-hole trick). It makes a grinding sound when the eject button is pushed.

Device Manager shows no issues with the drive, and the most recent driver is installed.

Currently trying to install Windows 10 Home from USB stick prepared using a Microsoft downloadable app. Is this likely work? I have no Windows Product Key.
