Still not working all of the time, any other ideas that could help.  It seems to be a  real issue with these tablets, wish I would have know before purchasing!!. Please help, really frustrating for daughter going to college. 


Dell TP713

I just purchased this large coffee mug coaster. Downloaded the file, then plugged in the doggle into one of the USB ports, I discovered that the set up was for a mouse and wondered why doesn't Dell update their information. Well anyway, the on board Touch Pad and the larger coffee coaster are interacting with each other.
Do I have to disable the laptop touch pad in order to use this TP713?
looks like a return to me.

USB 3.0 Host Controller

For some unknown reason both of my 3.0 usb ports have stopped working. I checked device manager and there is a yellow triangle with exclamation point next to the 3.0 usb port. I attempted to upgrade the driver but was told the driver was up to date. Any suggestions as to why this has happened will be graciously appreciated.

I am using the 17R N7100 laptop with Windows 8.1 64 bit.

Help! Charger not responding

0
0

So, my Dell XPS is about 10 months old.  This past weekend, I started noticing that the light wouldn't always go on when it was plugged into the wall, and that my computer wouldn't say that it was charging.  This would happen about 50% of the time.  Well, as of today, my computer won't charge at all.  I'm frustrated and annoyed because I'm a full time student and this should not be happening with a computer less than a year old.  

Battery Charging Disabled

Hi everyone, 

I have a real problem with my Dell battery. Here's the thing my charger accidentally stop working but the laptop let me keep it using it with the message "plugged in not charging" and I used this way because at the time I coulndn't afford for buying another until last week.

I bought a charger and it says now that "battery has to be replaced" because it havent being charging" but the problem wasn't the battery it was the charger and when I see Battery Meter it says Battery Charging Disabled.

What can I do to enable! I don't have enough movie to buy another one, and the battery its fine. Please help me as soon as you all can.

Laptop died and I can't revive it

Inspiron 5423, about a year old. Just turned it on, said batty was low and hit F1 to continue.  I hit F4 by mistake, hit esc, then tried again after plugging it in. Immediately I noticed no light on the front left panel.  Checked connections, all are tight.  Press Power and nothing happens. It's been plugged in for half an hour but Power still does nothing. Obviously no power is going through the line.

I looked underneath but see no reset button.  So, how do I determine what is going on?  If the computer dies I have a service contract but have no backup. If the cable went bad I can replace. But I can't determine what is wrong.

In the year I've had it, I never used it more than two hours per day and for the past few months, use it every other day (iPad as a backup computer, thankfully) so I seriously doubt I wore anything out.

I'm hopeful y'all can help

Ok, what a unique one this is!  First off, I'm a certified tech, have been a computer guy for over 30+ years.  That said, I've watched a few clips on this issue as well as read up -- so before I rott my life away on this one, here's the skinny:

1. Customer replaced LCD

2. I replaced the video cable

3. System will still beep 8 times with no video -- HALF THE TIME!

4. Still renders the following error through the built-in-sys diags:

    Error Code:  0413

    Msg:  Error Code 2000-0413

    Msg:  Cables - LCD cable not detected

Hi,

I have a Dell Latitude E6330 that is great, but when I plug it in to the docking station, it uses the docking stations NIC, but disables the WiFi.

The WiFi here is a different network and I need both.

Any suggestions?

Laptop battery

Hey, I have a problem concerning the purchase of a new battery for my XPS17 L702X laptop. 
Currently I am using a 9-cell battery, I found a replacement on the webstore for the US.

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/PopupProductDetail.aspx?cs=19&l=en&c=us&sku=312-1127

But since I live in Belgium I can use the US store and on our webstore there is only a 6-cell available. So my question is how can i get a new 9-cell battery.. Ive been trying to call almost all support numbers without success. Even the chat support gives me a number that won't pass me to someone that can help me :(

Latitude 3000 vs Inspiron 5000?

E6430 ATG Fingerprint Data Location

0
0

Not sure if this is the correct forum...

Without getting into too much irrelevant detail, I have 6 identically configured E6430 ATG semi-rugged laptops running Windows 7 64bit Pro used by 40 users.  Dell Data Protection Access is installed and I have entered fingerprint scans for most users on all 6.  Every time I need to add a user I need to have them scan on all 6 laptops which is logistically difficult.  

  1. Is there a way to export the fingerprint data to a USB drive and import it into the other laptops?
  2. What is the location of the fingerprint database?
  3. Dell Access has an archive/Restore function but the resultant file 4k, seems too small

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

P.S. I called Dell tech support and unfortunately they were clueless!

Because the Latitude 3540 does not support 16 GB of RAM?

Because the Latitude 3540 does not support 16 GB of RAM?
I do not want an answer that says in the manual, page xxx limit is 8 GB.
The fourth generation of processors from Intel support 16GB.
Because the limit then?

E6500 and nVidia NVS160M

0
0

I just picked up a second (or third or ...) hand E6500.  I guess I am a little confused about the hardware inside.  I've verified in Windows 8 and a live Linux DVD that there is no nVidia graphics adapter in this laptop.  When I researched the purchase, it never appeared that the 160M was an option, but was one of the distinguishing feature differences between the E6400 and the E6500.

Am I missing something?  Is the 160M an actual separate discrete card that could have been removed?  Did the E6500 have the 160M as optional?  If it isn't there, can I add it or is it worth it?

Vostro 2520 Laptop shutting down when lid is closed.

0
0

    In 2013 we purchased 4 Vostro 2520 laptops. In the past few months (past warranty) we have started experiencing issues where when the user closes the lid the laptop would shut down. I went in and made changes to the power settings to do nothing on lid closing. This seemed to help 2 out of the 4 put on one of the laptops it has gotten worse, even after changing the setting back. This is very frustrating if the user hasn't saved their work and looses valuable information. Also shutdown sometimes happens if there is sudden movement

 Can someone shed light on where to start checking. This sounds to me more like a hardware issue then software.

Thanks in advance

Latitude 3340 display driver issue after SYSPREP

0
0

I'm wondering if anyone's seen an issue like this? I've been imaging systems with Windows 7 for years now, and I've never seen anything like it...


I'm preparing a system image for Dell Custom Factory Integration. I've loaded and configured everything, including all drivers for the system from the Dell support page. All is working as expected.

I SYSPREP the machine and capture my gold image and when I boot the image on a system, the display driver reverts from the Intel(R) HD Graphics Family (version 10.18.10.3412) back to the default Microsoft Standard VGA Display Adapter.

I've tried multiple times, and I've even mounted the captured .WIM file and used DISM to forcefully inject the drivers. I get the same result every time.

If I update the driver after the image boots, it works as expected, but I'm trying to figure out what is causing it to fail in the first place, and I don't want to have to update the driver on a fresh laptop delivery from the factory.

Thanks for reading!
