Keyboard loss Inspiron 14Z-5423 after battery replacement

$

I replaced the battery in my Inspiron 14Z-5423 ( I did this once before with no problems).  This time, the laptop booted up and everything looked ok but the only 7 keys working on the keyboard .  I thought it was a bad keyboard, so I replaced that and now the same keys only work on the new keyboard.  I checked all the cables that I unhooked to get the battery out and all appear ok. An external usb keyboard works fine.

Precision m4800 behavior after a19 bios upgrade

After a19 bios update, if laptop is powered down and then powered up without disconnecting the power supply, the 4 cores exhibit high use, speed, and temp even in idle and do not reduce over time.  If the power supply is disconnected for at least 45 seconds prior to startup and then connected, laptop powers up to normal idle of 798mhz core speed and 42C-ish cores temp with little core load.  Have repeated this behavior 20 times.

Has anyone figured out how to get the laptop touchpad to stay disabled?

I have a 7353 and when I disable the touchpad, it either doesn't do it, or it enables again upon restart. I have seen many people asking about this, and no one seems to have an answer that works. 

Has anyone found a solution that works, and keeps the touchpad disabled?

XPS15 9550 touchpad starting to lift up, buttons not working

$

I've had my XPS15 for over a year now, and I recently noticed that my touchpad is starting to life off the palm rest area of the machine, and the buttons no longer work. I'm not exactly sure when this happened because I'm a staunch mouse user and hardly ever use the touchpad. Is this an item that can be repaired under warranty? Also, is this a commonly reported problem with this model? 

Laptop only works when plugged in

Its only been the second day of me using my new laptop, and already I'm having a major problem with it.

My Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming now only works when it is connected to the AC Adapter, and whenever I remove it, it turns off immediately.

It says that the laptop is charging, although it has been stuck on 93% for hours as of the time I am writing.

What is the solution to this problem?

Please reply as soon as possible.

Thanks.

brand new laptop with errors

Brand new Dell laptop w/i7 processor having error messages:

1) self test unsuccessful and given a QR code said to scan with mobile device

2) no bootable device found (says possible causes could be corrupt OS image or bootable device not enabled in BIOS.

Why would a brand new laptop (bought @Office Depot) be doing this? 

Likely going to buy an XPS 13, but I have one question.

After much research and reading other threads, general consensus is that Dell would begin implementing their A02 motherboard xps 13's in March. That's FIVE months ago. Yet i'm reading reviews as recent as May that people are still dealing with the coil whine issue. If I order directly from the dell site (as opposed to new egg, amazon, etc) can I be assured I will get the A02 motherboard to mitigate the coil whine?

I keep hearing things like "i'm just learning to deal with it" which is absolutely ridiculous when talking about a $1500+ laptop. I'm planning on getting it with the i7 processor, HD screen (no 4k touch), and 16 gig of ram. Discrete ticking noises that you can only hear in a quiet room or by putting your ear to the machine is acceptable, but the loud screech i see in some youtube vids is ridiculous. I will not be one of those users "just learning to deal with it". I'd rather have my lap burnt off by the hp spectre's high operating temps.

Connect to ethernet and wi-fi simultaneously

I'm currently running Windows 10 Enterprise on my Dell Studio 1555 laptop.

This is not the first time I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise. Before I format my laptop to reinstall a fresh version of Windows 10 Enterprise, I can connect and receive connections from both ethernet and wi-fi simultaneously. However, after I install a fresh version of windows, instead of receiving connections from both ethernet and wi-fi, i only receive connections from ethernet while the status of connection for both is listed as "connected". If I plug out the ethernet cable, the wi-fi connection will be working fine.  I had gone through forums and the possibility of a altered BIOS setting is one of them. If so, how do I fix it in BIOS setup, if not, what are the other options? Please help. Thanks.

The power adapter attached to your system is not recognized. Attach a su

Receiving error message that the laptop does not recognize my power adapter: The power adapter attached to your system is not recognized. Attach a supported power adapter with at least 65 watts.choose another with at least 65 w. I am using the same power adapter that came with the laptop. Here's what I have tried:
I have removed the battery, drained the power, and reattached battery and adapter.
I have tried a different adapter.
I have cleaned all the connections.
When I unplug and plug the adapter in, it's connecting to the laptop because my screen brightens up (due to my power saver options).
STILL, battery is not charging. Down to 50%.

PLEASE HELP! I have a convention to attend Wednesday and am desperate. Thank you!

Inspiron 15, 7537 will not boot from Macrium Reflect Rescue USB Flash drive

Inspiron 15, 7537 with recently installed SSD and clean Windows 10 Home + added programs, data, settings, etc.

A few days ago, I logged in as Administrator to change her profile name. Long story short, the OS got stuck and couldn’t get rid of one of the logons and I could only enter the OS as a temp and that work would be deleted after logout.

I tried two restore points. Both installed ok per OS but both had a non-operating ‘left click’ Start button.

I then went to boot from the Macrium Reflect rescue bootable USB flash drive to do an image restore.

The following are my failed attempts (I confirmed that the flash drive would boot Reflect on my laptop):

1. F12 on boot loads the following boot screen:

UEFI Boot: Secure Boot On:

Windows Boot Manager (thought I’d get a list but the machine booted as normal)

Onboard NIC – Ipv4

Onboard NIC – Ipv6

Other Options:

Setup

Diagnostics

Peripheral Device Setting (OPROM Setting)

Change boot mode setting (I selected this, then Legacy, then USB, but the result was ‘Operational system not found’

 

2. Set the BIOS option to UEFI, Secure BootOFF, F12 to Boot Menu Options.

The F12 boot screen now showed Legacy as an optional category and did have the USB option, however, booting to same resulted in the same, previous ‘Operational system not found’. I hit Esc, got <<Start PxE over IPv4>> and then I shutdown and restarted into the OS with bad start button.

 

3. Google search result for this machine:

F2 on restart

Select Boot tab and change to Legacy Boot, Secure Boot Off

Restart shows the boot sequence and the order can be changed to USB, I did

Restart and the same the result as previous attempt to boot to USB flash drive ‘Operational system not found’

 Help!
