Latitude 5480 i7 7820 Backlit Keyboard Upgrade Possible

0
0

Hello,

I'm looking to upgrade the keyboard on my 5480 i7 7820 to the backlit version.  Is this possible?  If so, what parts are needed?  Are there any procedures after the swap that would need to take place?

Thanks,


1-2 hour battery life after full charge

0
0

Hey :)

I've had my Dell XPS 9550 for a couple years now. It's amazing.
The only thing I'm not fully in love with is the battery life I get. After a full charge I tend to get about 1-2 hours, 3 hours tops if i'm only emailing.
I just finished charging it and put it on battery saver, closed google chrome so only a couple windows explorer windows were open, and my battery says 1 hour left..

I've got a Dell XPS 9550
i5 processor
Windows 10
1tb SSD filled appox half full
32gb ram
I've got the smaller of the 2 batteries, but it seems like I should get more than 2 hours on a full battery, right?

Thanks everybody!

Dead GPU

0
0

Hi, my laptop GPU is dead, this lead to a 6beep error code 95% of the time when I have to start or restart the computer. Beside that when the computer starts it works perfectly fine on the inter integrated graphic thing.I don;ty need a new graphic card as I only wish to use the laptop for work but I cannot use it because it barely ever manage to boot due to the BIOS error. Is it possible to disable something in the BIOS or physically remove the part to sort out the problem so I can still use the computer?

The Specs are as follow:

Alienware 17 R4 screen stays black after opening up laptop

0
0

Okay so here's the deal

1. I close my laptop. Leave it closed for some time (put it in my backpack, drive somewhere, take it out my backpack).

2. I open the laptop, and the Alienware Alien head button lights up. Press some keys on the keyboard, and they light up too.

3. However, the screen stays black for at least 1 minute - 2 minutes, until it finally comes on.

4. I've tried changing the power settings like "change what laptop does when lid is closed" but every option produces the same results.

5. It does this plugged in as well as unplugged.

6. The screen works perfectly afterward, but the 1-2 minute for the screen to turn on is very annoying, especially coming from a $2,200 laptop. My XPS 15 didn't have this problem.

Anyone know what's going on?


Latitude E7440 power button led not blinking after sleep.

Hi

Neither power button led nor the power led on the lid blink (breathing light) after sleep mode. The other led lights are just fine but the power LEDs are not blinking at all. Even when I disconnect the charger it stays SOLID white and not blinking.

What can be the problem?

Sleep Mode Startup Glitch

0
0

So I've had my laptop for a while and it worked amazingly... until a few days ago. Whenever I put it in sleep mode and woke it up, it would go into the picture below. I have to completely shut it off and restart the computer every time it goes to sleep which is quite annoying. I have tried restore points, and even reset my entire computer (where it keeps your files but deletes your applications), which actually fixed it for two sleep modes but then it reverted back to this screen. I have tried everything I could and have contacted multiple Dell agents who were very kind, but didn't help me. P.S if I plug it into an hdmi cable and then unplug it, it fixes it. Very strange. Here are my specs

*Picture too big, very similar to this link except it looks more like vertical blue and green lines.

Slow performance in my Dell Inspiron 15 7567 gaming laptop

Greetings! I just got my laptop recently and when I installed some games(Overwatch specifically), I would stutter like *** even if I installed the latest nvidia driver and lowering the graphics settings aswell. I did the same thing with the other games like CS:GO and Bioshock Infinite, I would still stutter even if lowered the settings down. I just feel like the laptop should be performing much better. 

Any way I could boost things up and/or utilize the laptop itself?

Latitude E6540 sudden shut-off 8 seconds after starting

0
0

I am using a Latitude E6540 as part of my university work. We have recently tried using the device again after a short hiatus (a few months) and are having an issue getting the laptop to start properly.

When the power button is pressed, the Storage 'Device Status LED' next to the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then disappears. 3 seconds later, it reappears briefly, there is an audible 'click' from the laptop, and the machine powers off completely. During this sequence no other lights on the computer (outside or inside) light up at all. The screen stays completely black throughout. 

So far we have simply tried purchasing a new power adapter - the issue is the same when this is plugged in to the machine. Any help will be much appreciated. 

Plugged in but not charging

Hello,

I have Dell inspiron 13 7359 laptop. I bought this in November 2015. I have a strange problem with this laptop currently.  When i plug it in, it shows "Plugged in not charging" and the laptop speed dramatically slows down. When i unplug it, it behaves normally. 

It also displays "AC Adapter not recognized" while booting up. I tried everything i can.

1) I bought a new AC adapter - when i plugged it in for the first time it got charged, i thought the problem is fixed. Then the issue started occurring since the second charge onwards.

2) I updated the BIOS - Did not fix the problem

3) I Reinstalled the windows - Did not fix the problem

4) I replaced the battery - Did not fix the problem

5) I replaced the DC connector (the DC socket to the laptop) - Did not fix the problem

6) I even replaced the mother board - Did not fix the problem.

7) I tried charging it at different power outlets - Did not fix the problem

8) I bought a new AC adapter (this time 65W) - Worked for the first charge, but it behaves the same way from the second charge onwards. 

I am really fed up with this and don't know what to do. Please help me. I stay in a small country in Illinois and have no authorized dell service centre to which i can take my laptop to. Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sai

Hi,

i would like to Kindly ask if any one faced the same issue as i have recently bought a Dell Precision M6500 Laptop i7-X 920

my issue is when i have the 4 memory slots installed the machine starts acting wired, blue screen shows up with almost any thing.

but if i use only 2 slots it goes without erros, i thought it might be the ram or the motherboard but i would like to ask for your expertise with such a problem,

second question can the machine take 2x16GB ram to reach the 32GB or not?
