Dell Inspirion 2 in 1 7300 series won't boot

0
0

Help! My daughter's 2-month old laptop won't boot. She's away at school and I need some troubleshooting ideas. 

She's tried booting it with and without being plugged in. She's held down the power button for 25 sec to try to reset.  Same result each time.  The power light on the front blinks 6 white, 2 amber. No beeps. 

I thought about taking out the battery and trying again but that requires cracking open the case to get to it. 

Are there any keyboard button combos that we can try first?  Maybe trying safe mode? We have GeekSquad but they are 3 hours away so I need to try to get it booted so she can grab her files.

Any advice is appreciated.


7573 3 Beeps

0

My 7573 began beeping 3 times at startup, then running normally. It only beeps upon startup and shutdown sometimes. Called Dell and they suggested replacing the motherboard. I asked if there was a way to tell how much longer the computer would function normally, they said could be days or years. Replacing the motherboard is not cheap and I will be without my computer for a few weeks. Anyone have experience with this? My laptop works fine, the beeps are the only indicator their is a problem. I hate to spend so much money to fix a functioning computer that is only 4 years old. Any advice or experience with this type of problem would be greatly appreciated.

WiFi Driver with "Hosted Network Support"

We're trying to setup a laptop (Precision 5520) as a demo unit, and would like to have it be the AP. This is possible, provided the driver supports it.

So:

1) Any chance of getting a Qualcomm QCA61x4A driver that supports Hosted Network (from Dell)?

or

2) Anyone aware of a USB WiFi Adapter that supports "Hosted Network" on Windows 10/Server 2016?

Latitude 5580 Slow 2.5" SATA-III Speeds

0

Got a new Dell 5580 and have a NVME M.2 drive installed and it seems to have great read and write speeds. When I install my older 2.5” SATA-III Samsung 850 EVO in the 2.5" SATA-III port it’s a lot slower than when run in my old E6540. I have two 850 EVO drives in the E6540, one in the SATA-III 2.5” and one in the M.2 SATA-III port. They both have the same good read write performance in the E6540.

Is the 2.5" SATA port in the Dell 5580 not SATA-III or is it in a slower mode when a M.2 NVME drive is installed?

Windows 10 remote monitor

Have a new Dell laptop with Core i3 and Windows 10. Also have Dell P2417H monitor that worked fine with my old Dell, but cannot get new system to detect the monitor. Is there a solution. Dell has gone over the laptop, the monitor and the cable, which is HDMI at laptop to a Display type connector to the monitor, everything is working fine but will not connect to each other. Have also noticed that the Intel HD Graphic Control Panel does not allow for a 2nd monitor, could that be the issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.

XPS 13 9365 won't boot

0
0

Hey there everyone,

I just got an XPS 13 9365 about a week or so ago. I just finished loading everything onto my new computer when it froze a bit so I pressed ctr+alt+del. The battery at the time had a bout 35% percent left on it. It then shut off and wouldn't turn back on. Figuring it was just the battery, I plugged it in and let it sit for 2-3 hours. It still won't turn on. I have held the power button down for 30-45 seconds and the keyboard lights up and turns off. There isn't any beeping, no amber flashing LEDs, it shows me that the batter is fully charged, but still won't turn on. Any ideas?? 

Wacom Bamboo Ink Stylus and Dell Inspiron 17 7000 Series

I recently purchased a Wacom Bamboo Ink Stylus from Best Buy when purchasing my new Dell Inspiron 17 7000 Series laptop based on their claim that it was compatible with this laptop.  However, I can get it to connect and open the windows ink workspace apps but I can't seem to get it to actually work as a pen on the touchscreen.  Is there something that I'm doing wrong or is it not actually compatible?  Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Jumping cursor highlights, deleted, overwrites words. Windows 10 and Windows vista.

0

The cursor on my Dell inspiring 1545 jumps randomly, sometimes highlighting and

deleting or overwriting words. It did it in Windows Vista but I am now surprised on upgrading to Windows 10 and a new hard drive it is worse.

I have:

1. Removed drivers for mouse pad

2. Installed touch freeze

3. Done virus scans including boot sector scans from both Avast and AVG rescue disks.

4. Experimented with various options in the mouse properties in control panel as instructed by threads on various forums.

All to no avail.

It is worst in word and notepad but sometimes happens in yahoo mail.

I've never spilled anything on this laptop.

Someone suggested a build up of static electricity over time as the cause but it happens as soon as I turn it on.

Any suggestions gratefully received. This is driving me scatty. I've just spent €120 upgrading my machine and now just want to throw it in a skip.

Dell XPS 15 9560 - Running Terribly

0
0

Hi all,

I recently bought a brand new XPS 15 9560 (about 4 months ago) and have started to use it for gaming and it's been running so poorly its almost laughable that it cost me $3000 AUD.

My frame rate drops hugely on game such as dota or HoN, ranging from 20-60 FPS at medium settings!!

Battlegrounds I can get around 10-30 frames at low settings.

When I have a game open it absolutely destroys any chance of multi tasking as my computer lags out whenever I'm alt tabbed.


Is this usual or have I got myself a lemon?

Hi Community,

I bought my Dell XPS 15 9560 3 months ago. Recently, I had a warning notification from Intel RST (SMART event) warning. I tried running Dell's online diagnostics from dell's website(Online Support) and also from SupportAssist. Both instances crashed my system when checking hard drives. 

I've attached a snapshot of the test run error. I've full warranty till Aug 2018 and I'm based in Melbourne, Australia. Could Dell professionals also hook me up with a carry-in service contact, I can't seem to find it. 

Thanks Community

Dell Inspiron 15 N5040 Adjusting screen brightness?

Hello guys, I am not seeing the 'screen brightness' adjustment on this pc though? Normally it would be at the bottom of the Power Plan window. Pressing the FN key and using the up and down arrows or f4 or f5 keys doesn't do it either, help?

Dell XPS 13 9350 and TB16 dock problem

0
0

Hi all,

I recently purchased a TB16 thunderbolt dock. Everything seems to work perfectly except for the fact that my XPS isnt actually charging. The battery indicator shows that its charging but the battery continually drains and not indication of charge time shows up leading me to believe that no power is actually going to the laptop.

I have updated all the drivers except for the Thunderbolt 3 Firmware which continually fails to install. It gives me an error message of  "Thunderbolt Firmware installation failed" and I believe the NVM firmware is 8 currently. Im speculating that this is causing the charging issues. Has anyone had a similiar installation problem? Ive tried disabling my antivirus etc but it continues to fail.

Please help!
