Inspiron N5110 (5110-6344) Constant Crashing / BSOD - PLEASE HELP!

0
0

Hello

 

My N5110 has recently developed a fault.  It keeps continually crashing and completely locking up (no mouse, keyboard action or anything).  Sometimes it shows a BSOD and restarts.  I am going to write the fault codes down next time it shows BSOD but was hoping someone could shed some light on this?

I have seen a number of other threads on this subject but no definitive answer to the problem?  I havent messed with any BIOS settings, no hardware additions/changes (difficult with a laptop I know) and no major software changes that I can think would cause such a problem.

I have run the Dell Support Centre hardware scan which has shown no issues, I have run the Windows memory diagnostic which ran without any issues and I cannot see anything else obvious which would cause something like this.

Can someone PLEASE help with something to try?  Crying

Cheers

James

laptop inspiron 1545 se apago y ya no enciende

0

Sucedio que encendi mi equipo y cuando apenas comenzaba a trabajar, se apago y reinicio nuevamente. Volvio a estar lista pero esta vez de nuevo se apago y sola trato de volver a iniciar, pero esta vez haciendo el diagnostico del sistema dado que se apago abruptamente como si fuera una computadora de escritorio. Las dos veces posteriores solo llegaba a mostrar el logo de Dell y se apagaba nuevamente hasta que dejo de hacer ese proceso de apagarse y tratar de reiniciar.

El comportamiento con bateria y conectada con cargador: El led de encendido parpadea cuatro veces en rojo y una en blanco, y la bateria se calienta demasiado. Cuando se presiona el boton de encendido no da reaccion alguna.

El comportamiento con bateria y sin conectar el cargador: El led se ilumina blanco cuando se presiona el boton de encendido pero sin reaccion alguna, y si se vuelve a presionar el boton de encendido el led se apaga, como si el boton de encendido solo sirviese para encender y apagar el led de encendido.

El comportamiento sin bateria y conectada con cargador: Hace el mismo comportamiento mencionado anteriormente. El boton solo sirve para encender y apagar el led de encendido.

Cabe mencionar que ya drene la energia del equipo quitando la pila y presionando el boton, ademas de presionar la tecla FN+POWER.

Les agradezco de su ayuda, mil gracias. 

Help me get my webcam to work

Hello all,

I have a Dell Latitude E4300 running Windows 7. The laptop has a built-in Integrated Webcam.

I am having major issues getting my computer to recognize the webcam or make the webcam work.  I downloaded a free MovieMaker program and saw that the webcam is indeed functional; it's just something about the way I have it set up that is wrong.

I keep trying to uninstall and reinstall drivers, and I'm pretty sure the driver is up to date.

The software, however, is more iffy (the Dell Webcam  Center).  I have only found a link to one official, safe-seeming site to download the software,but the page is organized in such a way that I can't navigate it. (The drivers and  software are grouped in different categories, but there is no category for "Webcam" or "Camera," and I haven't found it in any of the other categories.

Would you speculate that getting the correct software will fix the problem? Or are there other things you'd suggest?  If anyone can point me directly to a safe download of the Webcam Center,that would be great.  

Thank you.

Dell Inspiron 11 3147 Battery "Not Charging"

0
0

This new Dell Inspiron 11 3147 just arrived today.

The AC Adapter is "plugged in" but the battery is "not charging."

I've looked all over for help for this, Dell Diagnostic has found no problem, and I've had trouble getting a hold of customer service. The most commonly suggested idea has been to uninstall and reinstall the Microsoft ACPI Complian Control Method Battery driver, which I have done.

The only thing I haven't messed with is the battery itself, which doesn't seem to be accessible without damaging the back, which is screwed on and secured well.

Any idea what's wrong?

Latitude D620 restore - keyboard?

0
0

Hi,


I've rebuilt a Latitude D620 from the OEM discs. The keyboard has problems: the driver is working but is listed as Standard PS/2 Keyboard, which surely can't be the right driver. A small proporation of the keys don't work (arrow keys, one or two others).


Try as I might, I can't find any other driver. Anyone have any ideas how I can find one and make sure it's the correct one?


Tearing what's left of my hair out.

Possible release date new i3 Chromebook?

0
0

Many websites are stating Dell announced the new i3  Chromebook will be for sale but no dates are mentioned. We are seniors who travel a lot and are hoping that date may be before November so we can order one and get familiar with it before travelling south for the winter. If anyone has any info I would appreciate it as the chat with an expert part of Dell states they know nothing about the i3. Hopefully I'm in the right forum as this is where the chat expert directed us...thanks garry

My dell stopped turning on so i replaced the power jack board, that fixed the problem, but when i insert the keyboard it shuts off will not power on, when i lift the keyboard up a little it will turn back on and will stay on, second i insert the keyboard into its place it will shut off, i cannot figure it out.

Inspiron 15 3521 Has very annoying keys and space bar.

0
0

I have had it for a couple weeks now and it is very touch and go with the key responses, especially the space bar. I am a fairly quick typer but I still need to stare at the keyboard. when I look up, random words are stuck together becauseof the problem. See what I mean? I have some prettyheavy keystrokes but still have problems with missing letters and finding the sweet spot of the space bar. I have enrolled in online university and have tons of papers to write. I cannot handle it. What can be done? It doesn't feel like a sensitivity issue because I will press the space bar at one point and it wont work, move over a 1/2" and it works.

Dear Dell,

We have several questions as follows:

1 -- Can two Latitude E5440 laptops communicate with each other directly via WiGig using wireless 1601 WiGig card?

2 -- Can two D5000 wireless docks communicate with each other directly via WiGig?

3 -- Or a laptop can only communicate with a D5000 wireless dock?

Thanks,

Hi everybody! 

I decided to upgrade my DELL Vostro 3700 with 4 Gb RAM up to 8. Is it feasible and technically possible to have 2 memory sticks 4 Gb each? 

I read the manual, it is set that i can use up to 4 GB in each slot... A year ago i heard that DELL support does not recommend  to have in more that 2 Gb in each slot... WHO KNOWS?

Dell Studio XPS 1645 | Upgrade to 2x8GB RAM?

0

I have a Dell Studio XPS 1645, Intel Core 17 Q720 @ 1.60GHz, 64 bit operating system. I run a server for the game minecraft, which have also heavily modded, so it requires a lot of resources to run.

I currently have 6GB of RAM (1x2gb and 1x4gb) and i want to update to 2x8GB for a total of 16, but i keep seeing people who had issues upgrading past 8 on this laptop.

Is it possible to have this laptop efficiently run 16GB of RAM? and if so what steps would i need to take?

Thank you in advance!

the screen on my laptop has gone sideways! how do I fix it???

Laptop will not boot to Windows 8 (just black screen) following Microsoft automatic updates.

Hi, Following automatic microsoft updates on 31/08/14 my laptop goes to the familiar black screen after login.  I have ran the full pre-boot diagnostics, which have revealed no errors, and I can run ok in safe mode.  I cannot though refresh or reboot the system as I have no Windows 8 disks (came pre-loaded), and all system restore points have gone.  I have also tried to update my drivers without success.  Please advise what further action I can take, this seems to be a reasonably common issue?  Can I obtain a Windows 8 disk (laptop out of warranty May 2013, already had a replacement HDD the same month).  Many Thanks.
