Dell Latitude E7240 issues

$
0
0

Hello,

So my company purchased a Dell Latitude E7240 laptop with the E-Port docking station (the one with just 1 DVI/VGA connection).  The laptop is fine by itself but it has issues when we undock it and then re-dock it.  The problem is that the user (just happens to be the President of the company :() has 7 or so USB devices and since the docking station only has 5 ports available, we bought a separate USB hub for her (and the USB hub has its own AC adapter).

So if she has the laptop in the docking station docked and turns on the laptop, everything is fine.  However, whenever she undocks it and then docks it again none of the USB devices work.  The problem is that it doesn't happen every time she undocks and re-docks but enough that it is extremely annoying.  Also when this happens, the laptop won't restart or shut down without any issues...it just hangs at "shutting down Windows" screen.  I have to manually hold down the power button to get it to shut off.

We have had a Dell tech come out and swap out the motherboard on the laptop and that seemed to fix the issue but a day or two later the issue cropped up again.  I just received a new docking station from Dell and swapped it out but, again, still having the issue.

The laptop is Win. 7 64bit OS load; has all the latest drivers that I know of...so....anyone else with the similar experience and/or any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks!

e6400 laptop not grounded properly and shocks user on aluminum deck

Lovely laptop and while my wife was in North America no problem.  She has been overseas for 2 years now and during that time (no proper grounding of plug possible here)  the aluminum deck causes shocks to the wrists when hands are placed on it and secondly, the  voltage drop ie current to the laptop deck has caused the paint job on the speaker grills on each side to come off (the opposite of the process by which  the metal was painted to begin with).

Item is out of  warranty of course and there are other threads that certain dell laptops have voltage drops across their decks.  Comments?

Factory Image Restore for Inspiron 5737

Hello all,

I need to reset my 1 week old Inspiron 17R (5737) back to initial factory state (i.e., restore to factory image),  I have to install a certain application under Win 8.0 and I already upgraded to Win 8.1.  The usual procedure, according to Dell documents, is to shutdown and repeatedly press <F8> upon restart (before Windows boots up) in order to get the advanced Boot screens.  From there it is just a matter of using the correct menus to force a reset to factory image.

 I have tried this repeatedly, and my system does not respond to repeated pressing of <F8>.

Anyone have a clue how to proceed?Crying

Thanks in advance.
