Dell Inspiron N5010 display issue 8 beeps on start

0
0

Hi,

My 3 years old dell laptop gives 8 beeps when I press the power button. It gets start after sometime but there is no display. I have investigated it and found that this issue is with integrated graphics chipset on my motherboard. I can remoted desktop my laptop using other laptop in the network and I can see everything working fine.

Now I want to understand what is the solution If the problem is with integrated graphics chipset. Do I need to replace motherboard or this GPU chipset issue can be fixed by Dell ?

Awaiting your reply.

Thanks,

Dell Inspiron M5030 7 Beeps over and over, no start and no hope

0

Hello! I got a Dell Inspiron M5030 for my birthday in 2011 and it was working great until May. I use it a lot for my bio medical class in high school and it wasn't until recently when I was working a final school project that I had received the BSOD. I tried to boot the laptop and got the seven beeps which I Googled and found out it meant processor failure. I called Dell Tech support for out of warranty devices and they said I had to pay $360 for a new motherboard. Which is almost, if not the price of the laptop itself.

So I dug around and saw trending forums about my exact same model. I'm not the only person experiencing this problem. Now I was told Dell was a good company and had sturdy products.. It's a shame that this problem is wide spread and some owners of this model have no clue that this it's this frequent. Any suggestions on what to do?

Dell n4050 screen doesn't turn on

0

It used to randomly turned off The issue got more frequent gradually and now its permanent.

Its not the back light as its completely turned off, as nothing can be seen in any condition light or dark or torch etc. 

The windows works fine as an external 2nd display does work fine. Also i did multiple windows reinstalls without any change in the screens behavior. 

I have cleaned the ram and switched the ram slots but neither helped. There are no beeps in the start indicating hardware failure. 

During the time it was still use able i felt keeping it at minimum brightness reduced the frequency of it turning off but it could be in my head. 

Also when i was troubleshooting this i dropped the laptop half a centimetre when the screen was still on and it turned off and it wouldn't work again. 

Another thing i did try is removing and reconnecting the ribbon cable lcd connector but it didn't help.

Dell Inspiron 15 replace wifi adapter

0

Hello,

My father has an older dell laptop which started to get problems with his internet connection.

For some reason, the laptop rarely connects to the unsecured network at the camping where he lives at the moment. Most of the time it will take half an hour, or it simply won't connect at all.

 

So my question is: Can I replace the wifi adapter with an Intel® Centrino (N 2230 for example)?

I know I'll have to download the new drivers, but could there be any hardware conflicts?

 

Some specs:

  • Model: Dell Inspiron 15 N5050
  • CPU: Intel® Core i3-2350m
  • RAM: 4GB DDR3
  • HDD: 500GB
  • Wifi: Dell 1701

Dell XPS 12 Touch screen stop working when flipping screen

0

Hi,

So I bought the XPS 12 a month ago, and it is fantastic! However, I have been experiencing a problem: 

When I flip the screen to go into tablet mode, after a short while, the touch stops working. The screen still shows what it's supposed to, but it won't register my fingers (or anyone elses...) 

I have seen another post about a similar problem at the forum (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/p/19477009/20235618.aspx), but the solutions given (update BIOS, update chipset and video drivers, calibrating the touch screen) didn't solve my problem.

Are there any other solutions available, or is this a problem only I am experiencing?  

Sincerely,

Ben

Bad spacebar on Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series

0

Hi 

I've just bought a new Dell Inspiron 7000 only to find that the spacebar hardly works unless I press hard in the centre. It's infuriating having to go back over everything I type and insert the missed spaces but it would appear to be a common problem. Is there a fix from Dell other than sending the unit back?

I can only rely on the middle third part of the space bar to work

Thanks

Unable to change brightness in XPS 15(L521X)

0

Hello,

I have recently noticed that I am unable to change brightness with fn + up/down keys, as well from display settings, or windows mobility center.

The value changes but the display is struck at certain brightness.i.e no effect if i make it 0 or 100.

I have tried updating the latest intel video driver as well nvidia driver from the vendors website, but no avail.

Though i can change brightness during the bios laod, but as soon as the windows logo comes, the brightness get sets to a certain value and i cant change it thereafter.

I think this problem arrived after windows automatic updated HD 4000 driver, now I have disabled windows update.


Thanks

Hi,

I'm interested in getting an mSATA SSD in the WWAN slot in e7240. Apart from the LITEON SSD (which doesn't seem to be available in my location), what other SSDs can be used? If you are using an SSD in this slot, I would love to know the brand/model and any additional effort/issues you faced?

Thanks.
