Hi,
I am have recently bought a dell inspiron 15 7000 series laptop. Its only been a month that I have been using it. Everything was fine but my airplane mode button (the button beside F12 and PrtScr which are working fine) stopped working. Any help? Every other buttons on the button row is fully functional so I fear its not a keyboard matrix problem?
Please help me.
I have a new XPS 15 9530with a Quad HD (3200x1800) screen running Windows 8.1.
The Quad HD screen obviously requires some new smarts to display application windows properly because not all applications handle it well. "Beyond Compare" is a severe case in point - it seems that icons in it's windows are displayed very small and text box lines are truncated vertically, so much so that the bottom half (or more) of the text in these lines cannot be read. I'm guessing this is a Dell driver issue because of the newness of these screens. I'm a software developer and use Beyond Compare all the time. In some cases I can't even change the settings because the setting screen in unreadable with this issue.
There are other applications that exhibit the same or similar problem. Visual Studio 2010 has some issues, but the main problem I have with it is that some drop-down boxes are displayed extremely small. At least they're readable if you get close to the screen!
Thankfully the MS Office products I use all the time (Word & Excel) don't show any problems, but I wonder why these are good and "lesser known" apps have problems ... inadequate testing?
I develop in a dual-screen mode with a Dell U2412M monitor and the "bad" windows on the laptop screen do not change their perspective when I move them across - although during the drag they show as very large windows on the second screen until the whole window is in the second screen and then it shrinks to an "expected" size. It is this behaviour in particular that leads to think it is a driver "bug" that might be causing the window display problem.
Anyone else have the problem?
More importantly, is there a fix for it!
Cheers, Geoff
Hi,
I have bought a new original battery from Dell for my dell laptop just two days ago as the old battery was not giving any backup and was not charging and was showing message replace battery.
But after I replaced the new battery it is not charging while it is showing plugged in , charging.
Should I try to flush residual power first before trying bios update
Can I update Bios if battery charge showing just 7% but can provide uninterrupted power supply
Please suggest

Hi.
Thank you for yout support.
I have a Studio 1555 that occasionally had problems with wifi card. When connected with wifi, sometimes, a bluescreen error appeared.
Yesterday I tried to resolve forever the problem, even it I had it only few times, and I updated the driver on Dell website.
The result is that the wifi card does not work anymore. It does not see wifi networks. The diagnostic system says that there is a problem and I cannot use wifi anymore.
I've tried to download old drivers, update all other drivers (audio, etc.). No good news.
Have you any idea?
Thank you very much.
Hi,
haven't used the laptop for a couple of months, worked fine last time. Yesterday, after connecting the AC adapter, I could not see any led turned on! Laptop turned on, but the battery now is dead...
The AC adapter is working, I checked with a tester, so I guess it's something inside the laptop. Is there an internal fuse or something?
Thanks!

Hello everybody
I bought a new dell inspiron 15 ( 3521 ), seven days ago, and although he seems to work fine, he keeps making some weird mecanic sounds and beeps time to time. I was wondering if its normal or should I go back to the store and change it.
Thanks
My laptop was working fine and suddenly the screen went and nothing was working. I took out d battery, put it again and started it. Nothing came on the screen, power light was white and static, but it was beeping, 4 times at regular intervals.
What could be the possible reason for this? Please help me out.
Hi all, I am new here and to forums in general so please forgive me if I am doiing it all wrong. I have recently bought a second user dell d531 which works great but I have a dark splodge (no other adequate way to describe it) at left of screen and another at bottom left - just over the start word (XP).
I have tried to clean it with isopropryl alcohol but to no avail. It looks like someone has been bored and used a felt tip on it. I can get by and use the laptop as is but would like to clean it if possible or is it maybe an internal problem.
I appreciate any help on this.
I work in finance and I was just issued an Precision M3800. I love it, but...
HELP ME PLEASEeeeeeeeeeeee
My Dell inspiron duo has recently stopped loading. It gets passed the Dell logo, but then goes straight to a black screen. I've tried to press the f8 key, but nothing happens. I've run a diagnostics test, but it says everything's fine. It detects the hard drive, so that's not the problem. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help me find out what is happening?
Hi,
My Dell XPS 15 L521X has recently had some problems. It began when I tried to reinstall Windows 7 using an .iso image on a USB drive. This came with a problem as when I got to the selecting drive screen in the installation, there were no drives to be seen. I somehow managed to do a system restore back to when windows was first installed on my computer, almost 2 years ago now. I wasn't satisfied with this and continued to try to reinstall the OS.
The main problem is that there are no drives ween during the OS installation and I also want to wipe my disks clean. I have backed up everything so anything left on my PC can go if need be. I have tried updating the drivers by downloading and installing from the dell website but some of them refused to install, requiring a much more complicated process or just not starting at all.
I have been looking at multiple places around the internet to try to find a solution to my problem and have tried doing a few, but this seems to have possibly made things worse as now my start up repair option from the bios now leads to a "blue" screen which says "a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. of this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen....." and so on. I don't know if you have ever encountered this error before but I have now seen that multiple times.
I heard that sometimes it is a USB port issue. I have checked and I believe all 3 of my ports are USB 3.0. I know this by looking at the symbols next to each port. They all have this symbol next to the ports. 
Can anyone help with this? Thanks a lot
I was always wondering what are the most appropriate way to use my laptop with power,
and how i can take advantage of the most out of the battery and preserved for the maximum possible period. Internet searching wasn't very useful to me, just lot of different & contradictory opinions.
8 Months ago I bought my laptop .. and now lost 11% of battery capacity (59,085 of 66,600), i used to plug in my laptop to the power most of the time, unless if Electricity was cut off or i am in a place that i can't plug my laptop in. Sometimes i deliberately unplug my laptop one time every week randomly.
As you are an experts, please help me and tell me how i use the power, laptop and battery correctly.
I won't mention my laptop model or type ( it's DELL and everything ) but i prefer to be a general discussion to make extreme benefit for all.
Thanks in advance.
