XPS 13 9365 Sleep Issues

$
0
0

I recently got this laptop and am about to throw it away. Here are some issues with it:

1. The unit does not seem to go to sleep and uses the battery when the lid is closed. If I then disable the registry setting csenabled=0, the unit goes to sleep but then does not wake up and one has to hold down the power button and try at least a few times before it comes back on. My perception is that this model has some serious BIOS issues in how it handles power settings and wake up and in how long it takes to load the BIOS on startup (not Windows, the BIOS). 

2. Another issue is that at times, the CPU gets stuck at 0.4 or 0.5GHz and the computer is crawling slow. Very frustrating. 

3. No matter what HDMI connector I use including the TB15 docking station, the text on the secondary screen is grainy. 

I have been in contact with support multiple times and they have been useless. I have been using Toshiba laptops for close to 20 years now and never had such issues. 

My question is: do you all have similar issues and if so are there any remedies for such an expensive unit? I surely hope Dell engineering is paying attention and fixing the BIOS issues. And yes, I do have the latest bios and the latest drivers as of 10/19/2017 from Dell's support site. 


XPS 13" i7-7560u CPU running hot- 90c

About three months ago I bought a new Dell XPS 13. It worked good for a month and a half before dying, it wouldn't turn on or do anything. The college I am at has a dell warranty center so I took it there and after five weeks they finally decided to send me a new one (they said Dell was putting a new one together and would ship it out soon) Well this evening I picked it up and turns out they sent me a refurbished one rather than a new one, not great but I will take what I can get.

Here's the problem, if it actually is a problem, the Intel Core i7-7560 2.4 GHz (does not mention anything about a turbo speed) is running hot. It averages in the 70c's just with the web browser open(dell support/setup pages) not actively loading new stuff and has spiked well into the 90's without me doing anything on the laptop

Is this a problem? and sorry for the longwinded question

7480: Loss of Network Connection via WD15

I have a 7480 [non-TB] connected to a WD15, that up and loses its Ethernet connection.  The BIOS, associated drivers and FW, are up-to-date, to the best of my knowledge.  Moving the Ethernet cable to the laptop, itself, serves as a workaround.

130 Watt Power Supply Dims then goes off when plugged into Dell Pro3x docking station

I have a new Dell Latitude E7470 laptop with the Pro3x Dock setup for dual monitors for  a user. The setup has been working great for several weeks. Starting last week the laptop began shutting down while docked, and after examining it, I discovered that the dock power supply is turning off? When plugged into the directly into a laptop however it works fine. Not sure if it is the dock or the power supply. I'm new to supporting Dell's, and was wondering if this is a common problem. By the way it is the big 130 watt power supply and not the smaller one that the goes with the laptop.

Dell needs to have a recall on the Inspiron 5547 Right Hinge Issue

$

My daughter went to use her laptop last night for homework, and by just opening the screen, the right hinge broke away from the laptop.  In research this issue, I've many people have had the exact same issue.  This laptop has not been dropped or abused.  When a hinge breaks under very light use - she uses it about 5 times a month - there is a problem with this design.  In every case I've seen - it's a hinge issue with the right one.  I called Dell, but they said it would be a cost to repair it.  This is crazy - it's clearly a defective design!!!!

There is a pretty long thread here, but it's closed:

Intel 3D RealSense Camera on Inspiron 5559

MODS PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD. CAMERA SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED ITSELF AFTER SOME UPDATES AND A RESTART. SORRY!

Gretings all,

I'm an IT in South Florida and I'm trying to help a client with her Inspiron 5559 camera. She's had this laptop for a while and I haven't been over in quite some time, however a problem from before seems to persist on.

When the laptop was brand new, the integrated camera - an Intel RealSense 3D - worked fine. Used Skype without a hitch and even took pictures with the Windows camera app. A month or so later it stopped working altogether. No apps can detect it and when I check the Device Manager and try to update the driver it's reported as being the most current. I've tried uninstalling it and restarting the computer but the driver it reinstalls fails to do anything. It's been so long I figured this problem would've been fixed by now! I gave her a USB camera to use as a substitute but she's getting tired of having to carry it with her everywhere she brings the computer. I fear the camera or this particular unit is defective and she may have to get another brand of laptop instead.

Hoping to find some kind of help. Thanks!

My battery wound up dead after charging a while ago. So, I used the laptop without a battery with it plugged. Then it just shuts off as if it were over heating. Now, it never wants to come on. There are no lights indicating of life or charge and I tried different methods to bring it back to life but none work.

Dell M6700 - Blank Screen

$

Hi, 
 
I have a Dell M6700
 
I can turn machine on but laptop screen is blank.
 
When I plug in VGA I can obtain video - although I do not know if this is on-board graphics or the Quadro M4000
 
For all I know, it could be:-
1. Graphics card is toast - needs replacing (£500 at least)
2. Screen - The screens on these have a  BIOS which is known to corrupt, meaning it needs to be replaced.
- The screen does not even glow, shimmer or backlight at all .. not a glimmer. 
3. BIOS - I think there have been some BIOS updates that cause issues.
 
I ran the built in ePSA Pre-boot System Assessment (by pressing Fn and Power button)
- Results were I could view in VGA monitor, but nothing interesting came up. 
 
A. What tests could / should I run
B. What could causes be, and how do I step-by-step uncover
I'm happy to work interactive and go back and try things out that people here suggest!
Kind regards,
John 

Run an application on the second screen using the nvidia video card (d3100 docking station)

Hi, guys,

I have next setup: Dell Inspiron 7567 laptop, Dell D3100 docking station and LG Flatron e2360 monitor. And I have a problem with it.

The problem is related to video cards installed on the laptop. The laptop is equipped with Intel HD Graphics 630 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. And the problem is that laptop/docking station/whatever doesn't use NVIDIA card to display the picture on the second monitor. So, if I run game or movie on second monitor it's displayed using only Intel card. Problem doesn't appear if I connect everything directly into the laptop(I guess, it's a docking station problem). How to solve that problem?


Scratchy sound on Dell XPS

Lately my Dell XPS M1710 laptop sounds scratchy and mushy, but the headphone sound great. I've uninstalled and installed High Definition Audio Devise Realtek several times, unchecked disable all enhancements and wonder if it's somehow related to the base system device missing and has an exclamation mark on it? I've searched all over online and can't find help.

XPS 13 with 8gen Intel and 16 GB RAM

Hello Dell community, 

Sorry if I am not posting my question on the right place. I live in the Netherlands, and I am eagerly waiting to buy a XPS 13. However, there is one thing stopping me - the 8th generation Intel edition of the XPS 13 is only offered with 8GB ram only in the Netherlands.

Now this is a problem since I'm a developer, and you I need more than 8 GB ram to do my work. On the other hand I travel a lot and my laptop needs to be lighter. 

On the dell NL website the only edition of XPS 13 with 8th gen intel is with no more than 8 GB of ram. There is no clear way of contacting dell sales in the Netherlands, which makes the whole process difficult. Hence I decided to ask here. 

Should I wait for an XPS 13 edition with 16 GB of ram and the latest Intel? I was also looking at the Inspiron's series, but I do not know much about it, is it as light as the XPS?

Thanks, and once again sorry if this is not the correct place to submit this question.
