Latitude 7480 - Thunderbolt 3 - Thunderbolt software say external GPU support not enabled?

0
0

I am trying to use a 3rd party external GPU enclosure that attaches via thunderbolt, and when attached, I got the message pop-up that external GPU support was not enabled by the vendor, and as such the device will likely not work? Has Dell locked the Latitude 7480 down to no external GPU support?

I currently have the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 series (inspiron 7347) and I have had it for about 4 years. For the first 3 years it never left the house, I was scared to damage it. The edges have started discoloring to brown and the corners have silver paint chipping off and I have been very gentle with this laptop. Is there something I can do about this?

Dell XPS 15 9560 rare light pattern error

0
0

During the last week I've been having a strange problem with my XPS 15. At first, it occurred every 5 or 6 boots, but know it happens every time I turn it on.

What happens is that when I boot it, the white light indicator in the start button stays on for around 10 seconds and then turns off, followed by a rare light pattern error which displays 3 times amber, 5 times white, 3 times amber, 3 times white. At least, after it does this, I push the button again and it boots perfectly fine.

Although it's true that this problem isn't fatal, luckily for now, I'm worried that it could get worse. I´ve already had a problem with a failed RAM that's already been replaced by Dell. However, this time the light pattern error code isn't showed in the diagnostics section in XPS 15 service manual (page 114). There's no 3 amber, 5 white error, but there's a 3 amber, 3 white one that says "Recovery image not found".

Thanking you in advance, I would appreciate any help you could provide me.

Memory problem with memory under the keyboard of my Precision 7710

0
0

The machine came with 16GB in primary slots on bottom side.

Successfully upgraded them to 32GB.

Trouble with the top (secondary) slots underneath the keyboard.

First try (with memory installed) the machine was essentially "Dead" -- only the battery light alternated amber/white for a few seconds and the machine would power off.

Second try.  I used same brand as in bottom side.

The BIOS showed 64GB in all four slots.

HOWEVER, the machine would not boot up Windows 10 Pro.

After removing the memory and  putting back the battery, I noticed the keyboard electrical connectors to keyboard that are under the battery had worked loose. 

Don't know if they were already loose when I was trying the full 64GB installed.

Could this be the reason that the BIOS could see the memory, but the OS would not start?

Just asking before I go to the effort to try another time to use 64GB.  Having to deal with the keyboard each time is a real hassle.

OR, could there be another reason for the memory under the keyboard not functioning properly?

THANKS.

My computer wanted to upgrade COMMAND UPDATE ..... it got to to virtually nearly the end and came up with the above error message (or similar). I found online that the COMMAND UPDATE 2.3.0 should be unistalled and replaced with version 2.3.1. I did both things but I ended up with the same error message right at the end.

Another area where I need assistance is that somehow I have turned off TMP or (TPM) resulting in not being able to sign on using the fingerprint scanner. Please also help in this matter as well.

I also purchased a Thunderbolt Dock TB16 which seems to have  a service Tag of 8WBF9G2 on the underside of the dock. This Service Tag doesn't seem to be recognised which may cause warranty issues. This item was purchased after  the purchase of the Dell XPS 15 9560.

I have recently bought a Samsung S8 Plus Phone (after 15 years with iphone) - My laptop doesn't seem to recognise the phoned, regardless of where it is plugged into.

I also have a Dell U2711 Monitor, but thats is well out of warranty LOL.

I guess that lot will be enough to sort out at the moment.

I look forward to hearing from you

hi there, I'm having trouble with my laptop - when I turn it on it's only shades of white and gray lines.  Dell told me it is the led screen that need to be replaced for alot of money.  Can I buy a screen and replace it myself?  I found an inexpensive one.

I have had my Dell Inspiron 17 5758 Laptop since around Feb 10, 2015 so almost 2 years now.  The lap top was working fine up until mid day yesterday now it is stuck in the "preparing sutomatic repair" loop and ends with either a black screen, saying my laptop didnt start correctly or that it couldnt repair my laptop and when i try to run a diagnostic on it it says that my hard drive is not installed. Also now the hard drove is simply not running. Is this because the hard drive as failed? Its in transit a lot and occasionnaly hits a bumps on the seat of my car when driving.

Also if i have to buy a new hard drive how would i install windows 10 on my laptop again? Will i have to pay for it again?

Hello, some Dell Driver update files give me three options: Repair, Change, and Uninstall.  There is no option to update them.  How can I update these drivers?  Do I uninstall them and then reinstall them using the updated file?  Some only give me the option to Repair them.  Thank you.

Broadcom BCM2070 Bluetooth NOT WORKING on Dell XPS L501x

Hello everybody, 

My Dell XPS L501x Bluetooth stopped working after I've updated the Windows 10 and now my bluetooth is no longer available and I can't use my Dell bluetooth mouse. 
I've contacted Dell and they told me my laptop is not compatible with Windows 10 and I have to go back to the original Windows 7 .... Went on Broadcom web site and tried to get the drivers for the bluetooth but as soon as I try to install it shows that its not compatable with my operation system ... 

Please help if you have any suggestions or a way to go around it ? 

Thanks
