Hello,
I've recently noticed that 4 tiny white spots have appeared in the left/mddle part of my screen on my Dell XPS 13 and wondered if they are dead pixels or if there was a fix to this problem? My warranty ran out 6 months ago so I'm unable to enquire about a fix/replacement
The lights are in a diamond formation so i assumed that one of the lights in the screen is acting strangely
It doesn't effect performance, just a minor niggle more than anything.
Thanks
A few keys on my keyboard have stopped respoding. The keys are: b, n, ?, down arrow, and space bar. I have cleaned around the keys and still nothing. I have to use the on-screen keyboard just to write this. I'm going to run a complete diagnosis tomorrow but any suggestions before hand are welcome.
Last weekend I upgraded my XPS L702X from Windows 7 to Window 8 Pro. Not sure what happened but now when I run the laptop on battery only the screen blinks randomly. I have updated the NVIDIA driver and still have the same issue. When plugged into the power cord the screen does not blink at all.
Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

I have a new Latitude e6540 and e-series advanced dock and I am unable to connect it to a gigabit switch. If I plug into a 100Mb/s switch while docked it takes off and runs fine. If I connect directly to the NIC on the laptop it connects and is able to transfer at gigabit speeds.
In the NIC properties it shows as not connected and I get 2 brief flashes on the switch side and then the link stays dead.
I have tested with 2 docks (home and office) and am able to run 1000Mb/s using an older e6420 in both docks but the e6540 will not negotiate with the gigabit networks when in the dock at all and shows as media disconnected. I have attempted changing from auto-negotiating to setting to 1.0Gb/s Full duplex and the link stays dead.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hey Guys,
Well I've had my Dell xps for about 3 years and a half now but about a week and a half ago I started getting the Blue screen,at the start these would be a day apart but as the days wore on they became a few hours apart until the laptop started into a loop.
By loop I mean,I would power up the laptop and startup repair would start,it would not be able to repair any problem so the laptop would either restart or shutdown,again when it started up again it go back into startup repair and so on,sometimes it didn't and windows loaded but not long after I'd get the blue screen.
So I tried a system restore back to earlier again point but that didn't work(blue screen again),eventually I tried a full system wipe back to factory settings.
This seemed to work but only after a few hours it was back to a blue screen.
So it the laptop broken or can it be sent off for repairs?
Hello.
I recently can not receive any files via bluetooth. Everything was working fine and all of a sudden it does not work. It does send files but doesn't receive. I tried checking to see if there was a driver update, my driver is up to date. Also tried turning on/off the signal. In the bluetooth settings tried checking the box that says "Allow bluetooth devices to find this computer" and any other box that allows connection is checked so I don't know what's wrong, please help :(
My laptop is the Dell inspiron N5110. I'm running Windows 7. My bluetooth device is from Intel Corporation.
I ran the troubleshooting and it did find something I'll leave the attachment below.

I have Dell inspiron N5110. When I move the computer screen the first button from the picture lights up and types letter x. Before that, windows mobility center kept popping up but I turned it off at regedit.exe. How can I turn it off so when the button lights up does nothing?
My Latitude E6440 keyboard is extremely sensitive.
Writing e-mails/documents continuously results in letters being doubly printed and/or false letters being printed.
I have already lowered the repeat delay in the Windows control panel but this does not seem to make much difference.
Any suggestions?
Received a new from Dell 17R. Arrived in less than 24 hrs. Amazing.
The first thing I do with a new machine is create the factory restore discs and then replace the HD with a new and faster drive. Then restore. That way I know the discs are good and I can restore when the HD fails.
This time it did not recognize disc #2. Made new discs, cleaned the partitions off the spare drive and tried it again. Same problem. Did not recognize Disc #2. Put the spare drive in a 15R that I have and the restore went fine. Tried again on the 17R and failed at Disc #2. Tried it with a USB attached drive and it restored fine, Bad drive. Dell overnighted a drive. Same thing. Only thing left is the motherboard. Dell sent a tech to replace the motherboard. Same problem. Restore fails.
A supervisor at Dell Support decided to replace the machine. Overnighted it. I did the same thing and it fails the exact same way. Hangs at 38% and saying to insert disc #2. Understand that I am VERY experienced (37 yrs field service with IBM). I have done thia process many times on a variety of machines.
Anybody have an idea what could cause this? I tried downflashing from Bios A07 to A06 and same result.
In addition the Bluetooth loses the mouse quite frequently. Probably due to having an Inter N 7260 wireless.

What can I do about it?

Hi all,
I just got my new XPS 15, amazing laptop but there's 1 big problem,
A high-pitched scratching/screeching noise is produced from the power button area ONLY when the power is plugged in and the battery is fully charged.
I've seen other forums and others have exactly the same problem, Any ideas?
I found this example http://z.mk/e6vq , the power is plugged into the laptop at 6 seconds.
Thanks
I recently noticed ghost images on my Dell XPS 12 Duo. If a bright image on dark background stays on the screen for a couple of minutes and then I switch to somewhat dark background I can clearly see the previous image on the screen for some time before it fades away. Once I noticed it I started spotting even more subtle ghost images. I even managed to capture it in a picture with a low-end digital camera - http://imgur.com/a/RIYff (notice the tray icons clearly seen in the Win 8 start screen and even the facebook ad is visible). It is far more clear when you look at the actual screen and not on a picture. I already arranged replacement laptop (as I had other issues with this one) but yesterday I read news about mass defects in Apple's Retina MacBooks ( http://www.ibtimes.com/print/macbook-pro-retina-display-problems-apple-faces-class-action-suit-ghosting-issue-1129939 ) with practically the same issue. Now I wonder if it is possible that all Dell XPS 12 Duo screens have this problem.
So anyone else seeing this on his machine?
