XPS 15 9530 Battery Problems

$
0
0
Hi, My laptop was just diagnosed with a swollen battery so I purchased a new one (through Dell) and set about replacing it with the little directions available. Replaced it fine, no problem. Plugged it into the adaptor and got five beeps. I’ve had this problem before and solved it by removing the battery and pressing the power button down to drain power or whatever it is. Tried that this time and nothing. Still beeping. Now I’m at a complete loss. I’m also baffled as to why the replacement part I bought from Dell didn’t come with any instructions whatsoever.

My Dell Inspiron has been mine for 2 months and when I went to turn it on it wouldn't budge. It is still under warranty, can you help me? I got it for my 11th birthday in August.  What can I do?  My dad is mad. He bought it.  It just won't turn on today.

Hi

I'm looking for docking stations compatible with the Dell Precision 5510 laptop. So far I've been able to find the TB15 and 16. 15 is out of the question and I believe Dell recalled it. Is the TB16 any good? Hands on experience?

Are there any other possibilities?

Regards

Ian

I was playing a game when it suddenly stuttered and had a BSOD I wasnt able to take a photo of it because it flashed too fast. After that it went into scanning and repairing then it restarted and it just stayed on the alienware logo. At first I didnt mind until 4 hours have passed and it was still there. I pressed enter and a message appeared saying "Runtime error! Program: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Logonui.exe" I dont know what I couldve done for this to happen. I would relly appreciate the help.

I have problems with an inspiron 15 3000 series I have months of having acquired it, the touch pad gives click 2 or 3 times in a row whenever I press on a link or image, and probe with the controllers but still the same, the external mouse work well but as for the touch pad remains the same. I need a solution for it, it is very frustrating every time I use the touch pad.

mSATA for Latitude E5440

The service manual for the E5440 on the Dell website makes no mention of it. However I believe this laptop can take a mSATA drive. At the socket, there is a message that says "See Manual" or something like that. Only manual doesn't mention diddly.

So can someone confirm laptop is mSATA compatible? If so, what's the max size supported and can I boot OS off the mSATA? Finally, if someone can explain exactly whether this takes mSATA or M2 or whatever drives because it's confusing me a bit.

Thanks in advance.

Do these things have jumpers or batteries to reset the admin password? We're essentially locked out of installing a new OS or do anything, and I'm not seeing anything on the MB at the moment.


Dell Inspiron 1521 WIFI issue

$

I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 running Windows 10.

Yesterday Windows 10 updated and in the process broke my WIFI.

The driver Windows used doesn't work and to uninstall that driver is a real pain.

The error Windows network diagnostics gives is this.

There might be a problem with the driver for the WiFi adapter.

Windows couldn't automatically bind the ip protocol stack to the network adapter.

Any idea how to fix it or is it a bug and do I have to wait for Microsoft to fix it?

I am having the exact same problem with the battery bulging out my keyboard and touchpad. Dell wants $169.95 to replace it. This is my third dell computer and will be my last if they don't fix it.

Is this a fire or explosion issue to be concerned about??

Power through USB-c on Dell Inspiron 15 7577 gaming laptop

The description for this computer states that the USB-C thunderbolt port is a “on cord solution” for data transfer, video transfer, and power. Imagine my surprise when I docked it and got an error message that the port doesn’t accept power and to plug in my power adapter. I am hoping this is a temporary issue that will be fixed with a bios update and not an issue of false advertising and poor utilization of a fantastic technology. Can someone from Dell advise if this will be fixed in a future bios update or if it’s infact a hardware design flaw?

Hello,

I'm attempting to get my XPS 15 9560 ready for the TB-16 dock. I've been struggling with it for a couple weeks now and earlier today used Windows Fresh Start to delete all drivers and try again.

Following the proper order of manual installations I have so far:

- Updated the bios to 1.5.0 
- Installed Intel Thunderbolt Controller Driver - 16.3.61.275 ,A03
- attempted to install Intel(R) Thunderbolt 3 Firmware Update - 4.21.04.003 ,A02
