XPS l401x Wavess Maxx and other touch keys issue

Hello,

I have a dell xps l401x which is more than 6 years old. I recently reinstalled the OS to windows 7 ultimate and since then waves maxx is not working. I have already installed the quickset driver as well as realtek driver. 

The touch buttons have been unresponsive for quite sometime but I never really cared. Also the wifi, Caps lock and battery indicator have not been working for ages. But the waves maxx was working perfectly fine with windows 8.1 that I had before this. I was wondering if there is a solution?

I have already installing drivers but to no use. 

Dell Vostro 3500 laptop shows no display

After updating a few drivers from Dell's support site, the laptop restarted but now the power only goes to the keys and not the screen. I cannot boot the device at all to do any diagnostics. I attempted connect it to my PC monitor using a VGA and to my TV using a HDMI but neither displayed anything. The only thing I have to go on is that the number lock stays steady while the caps and scroll locks blink simultaneously. Could it be the RAM, motherboard or both? Please help, I just purchased this laptop and the seller will not accept a return.

Dell XPS 12 (2013) Touchpad & Touchscreen not working

$

I've had this computer for nearly 3 years now and it has served as a somewhat problem free laptop minus some problems with the ram and charger. This problem started after I got my laptop back from dell support after they replaced all the internal hardware, about 3 months ago.. They gave me a clean OS install, but installed windows 8 on it, because that was the original software that came with it. After arguing on the phone for about 2 hours with a stubborn technician, he finally agreed to install windows 10 for me. After going through some shady websites, he downloaded it onto a USB and everything installed. I later realised that the copy of windows was not genuine even though I had paid for everything. Pointing it out to the technician, He told me the certificate would activate later. It never happened and I ended up paying again for a product key.

A little while later, the synaptics touchpad driver kept crashing after reboots, and I realised that I would have to reboot my computer twice. This has been going on for about 3 months now. Then, two days ago, all of a sudden, my touchpad AND touchscreen stopped working. Nothing seems to fix it, even a full reboot (sometimes). Once it starts working for no apparent reason, it stops working again at random times. Times working range from 20 seconds to 5 minutes. I have the power switch set to hibernate and hibernating and waking it up seems to sometimes get the touchpad and touchscreen working, but it suddenly stops working later.

Hello, i had bought the XPS 15 laptop approximately 5 months ago from philippines and right now i am in india. When i am charging the laptop i get electic shock when i touch the metal parts of the laptop.

But recently i discovered when the laptop is charging i get current from other parts of the house as well such as metallic bathroom taps and metal grill of my house.

I tested it using tester so its not some assumption but real current.

So please provide some guidance on why is this happening and why is the current flowing in different parts of my house when laptop is charging.

Latitude E5550 A15 BIOS causing problems

$

The A15 BIOS is causing problems for my Latitude E5550.

The problems start when I put the E5550 to sleep, then disconnect from the Dell docking station.

Frequently when I wake the E5550, the wi-fi is disabled. I then do a shutdown to power it off, then turn it back on, often having to repeat that before the wi-fi is working again. Also, during the power cycles, sometimes the BIOS reports there are no hard drives to boot from. I have to power cycle again, then all is well. This only started happening with the A15 BIOS.

The power management setting in the driver for the Intel Wireless AC 7265 is ticked on to 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'. I'm going to untick that option to see if it has any effect, but I can't help feel that the BIOS has changed the behaviour, and I assume my laptop my now use up more power when it's sleeping.

Inspiron 7520 screen is white after replacing CPU fan

$

Hi, I followed a YouTube video to replace the cooling fan in my Inspiron 15r SE 7520. The process went well and was pretty easy (my first time opening up a computer). The new fan works well and is quiet, and my laptop no longer turns itself off when it gets warm, which was the problem. However, now something has happened with the screen. When I turned it on for the first time after opening it, I got a sad face screen and an error message, something to do with drivers I think. It said it would restart and had a %complete counter and a QR code. I went to grab my phone to scan the code, but after about 30 seconds the screen went totally white. It's now like that permanently. I opened it up again to check I hadn't bumped a cable for the screen, or anything like that, but after triple checking I can't see anything loose it damaged inside the laptop. It works with an external monitor from HDMI, and the white screen is constant and not flickering at all. The screen goes black momentarily when you plug in the monitor. It seems pretty weird timing for it to be a totally seperate hardware problem, like a loose connection behind the screen. And it also seems weird that the screen worked fine for 30 seconds or so. Could it be a non-hardware problem? Any help hugely appreciated, I'm pretty much a novice. Thanks, Tom.

Battery detection flickering??

My Inspiron 5559 has been flickering between not detecting the battery, detecting the battery and saying it's charging even though the battery level doesn't increase, charging, not detecting, detecting, charging, etc.for about a day now. I can't unplug it even when it can detect the battery or it shuts off immediately. I recently had the DC jack and the motherboard replaced and got a brand new battery. is there anything I can do without having to pay for even more repairs?
