TB16

0
0

I would like to connect my XPS 9560 to a Predator 34inch Ultrawide as well as a secondary 32 inch monitor.

I think the TB16 would be a good choice but I see there are two versions. I.e., different power supplies. Which would I need to power the XPS and create a one cable solution where I can just plug in the TB3 cable and be up and running?

XPS 9550 (2015) - Battery bulging, pushing up trackpad

0
0

Was hoping to have some help with resolving my problem.

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed that the trackpad on my XPS 9550 (2015) has been rising, especially in the bottom right-hand corner.  At first it only rose a very negligible amount but now the corner has noticeably risen and both left- and right-click do not register.  If the laptop remains turned on for more than a couple hours the trackpad rises even higher though not as much as I've seen happen to other owners'.  I haven't used the laptop in over a week now in the hopes of avoiding any other issues that may arise.

From what I've read, this is a common problem due to a bulging battery and should be remedied as soon as possible.  For this, I have a few questions:

-Should I be worried about permanent trackpad/case damage?  Some owners have stated that at a certain point the trackpad will become damaged and must be replaced.

-Is the battery a safety issue?  I have the laptop on to make this post but I am worried about turning it on at all.

-What are my options for resolving this issue?  My laptop is out of warranty so I am unsure as to what the procedure would be for replacing the battery.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

External keyboard connected to Dell docking station not working at Bitlocker prompt (works in BIOS and at Windows login screen)

Having an issue with all Dell 7510's and associated docks we've deployed to new users at my employer. The external keyboard won't work at the Bitlocker prompt. These PC's are imaged for Win10.

I've sifted through the BIOS settings and have had no luck getting it to work. One thread I found said to make sure the Post Behavior -> Fast Boot setting is set to Thorough. Verified that is the case.

Note: if I undock and dock the PC the external keyboard will work that 1st time at the bitlocker prompt, but at next reboot it doesn't work.

SSD or HDD?

I am looking at a seller refurbished Latitude E6440 on Ebay. The hard drive that comes with it is physically labeled as a Sumsang 840 Pro, which is a SSD drive. But, the laptop's ePSA Pre-Boot System Assessment has it as a HDD drive. Does anyone know why that is? Thanks.

SOLVED Dell System Detect

Inspiron 17R

I have downloaded the subject app. When I attempt to open it, I get a small window that comes and goes so fast I have trouble trying to read what it says. I

There is a horizontal timer that runs to the end very fast,

What I read is ,""Launching Application".  "Verifying application requirements.", " This may take a few moments".

Then,the window closes out and that's all that happens.

I surfed to the Dell site, and attempted to get driver updates. After initiating,"Guide me", the little square timer starts to run. And it never stops. I let the thing run for twenty minutes and it just kept turning with no other actions.

So then I went to manual and selected some downloads.  I select download, after checking the boxes I want, and noting happens. I check in my download folder, nothing there.

That's about it. To generalize when I try to run Dell System Detect,, nothing happens. When I try to download updates, nothing happens.

The computer is running with no problems, I just can't seem to connect with Dell

Hi guys, just bought:

Dell Inspiron 5378 13,3" i3-7100U/8G/1000/Win10

I put the laptop to sleep, put it to my bag, take it somewhere, when I take it out of the bag - Its sleeping, but the laptop is hot, so... most probably it woke up, made some operations and went to sleep again...

Any ideas how to prevert this?

Thanks, Jacek.

Dell Vostro 1520 Black Screen

I have to use the laptop with a monitor connected via VGA. You can just about make out the login box on the laptop screen but it is just black.

Not sure if its the Screen, or inverter etc but the odd thing is that when i close the lid, (the power settings are set to hibernation), and re open it, the laptop screen comes back to life for a couple of seconds before going black again.

TB16 USB issue

0
0

We have a few users here who are experiencing issues after the most recent update to the TB16 USB drivers.  The computer seems to freeze when going between multiple monitors, USB ports are either functioning sporadically or not at all, and the external keyboard and mouse seem to stick.

We have performed the following:

  • switched out the keyboard and mouse for new ones
  • updated the system drivers and performed the latest Windows updates
  • exchanged the dock for a different one
  • changed out all cables

Please let me know if there's a bug in the latest updates and if we should attempt to roll back.

Eric

If you can fix my problem please help me! BASICALLY I HAVE A DELL INSPIORN 5720 (SAYS DELL 17R -5720 underneath as well). I was in the process of wiping it clean to factory defaults and reseting everything and in the process I shut the computer when it got to approximately 30% complete in restoring. I was pressed for time so I took the laptop with me to work to finish. However once I powered it on it would not boot up. It starts the process and goes pass the DELL logo then a black screen with a flashing underscore just stays on. I want to reset it to factory defaults so I can use it again for school. I need it today please if anyone can help I greatly appreciate it!

My Dell laptop touchpad is going crazy in a bad way, please help

Hi!

I have a Dell Inspiron 7778.

It has been having issues from day one, which is extremely frustrating considering the fact that EVERY other brand of laptop I've had has been fine since day one.

Anyways, this week my Dell laptop touchpad has been going crazy.  The cursor will randomly cease allowing me to control it and it will get "stuck" in the upper left part of the screen, jerking back and forth really quickly for a few minutes until it decides to stop and let me regain control.

Obviously this is causing me major problems.

I looked on the Dell website for touchpad drivers for my laptop and found NOTHING!

Please, can some one give me the link to the newest touchpad driver for my laptop?  I need to get this resolved ASAP.

Thanks,

Guy trying to fix his Dell laptop
