XPS13 (9333) & SuperSpeed Dock (332-0446) - losing wifi

0
0

Just purchased a new XPS 13 (9333) and 2 Dell Superspeed USB3.0 docks (332-0446) for a remote user.  The user received them and I setup the laptop remotely and installed the latest drivers from DisplayLink for the dock.  Upon connecting the dock, the laptop can no longer use wifi.  It still shows wireless networks, and will connect, but cannot access the internet.  Currently the user does not have any wired connections accessible.  I had the user disable the wired LAN connection, hoping that would force it to wifi, but it did not.  There is no "Disable upon wired connect" driver setting.  I also checked all of the various Intel utilities and found nothing that would pertain to this behavior.


This is happening with both docks at two different locations across 3 different wireless networks.  As soon as the dock is unplugged, wifi works correctly.  Google has not been helpful either, which is unusual.  I'm hoping someone else has this combo and can shed some light on this.

Inspiron N5040 - No Power

0
0

Good evening, I have an Inspiron N5040 laptop (A Friends) which unfortunately got wet during a Flash Flood incident at the weekend.

On discovery, I removed the Power lead and Battery and stood the Laptop on end (Allowing water to drain off) and kept it in a warm place for 3 days to thoroughly dry out.

I attempted to power it up today but unfortunately I have no life at all. (No lights on the front, No Beeps, No Life)

I have tried this with the Battery in and mains only. I have left it plugged in to mains for a couple of hours to see if charging resumes but nothing so far.

I can detect no power from the Power supply line with a tester but the battery was fully charged just before the incident.

I suspect the water has caused a major hardware failure but could you advise if there are any form of protection that needs checking first? (ie Internal fuse?)

Thank you.

Hi,

I have windows 7 professional on my computer. Out of the 3 top right buttons, only the one on the far left works. The middle button (wrench) and the right button (screen shut-off) don't work. Can you please let me know what I need to do to get these buttons to work as they are supposed to?

Thank you.

Great improvement suggestions for upcoming tablets/laptops (USB 3.1 Type C)

0

Dear readers,

I have over 10 years of experience using different computer systems and I just find it so difficult to get a system that will be really appealing to a great deal of consumers. Mostly some things are just not good, while on other laptops (in this case I’m talking about Dell’s models) the proper features do exist. I just want you, Dell, to make the best possible appealing product you can.

Around October your Latitude 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 will be released. It has the Core M (Intel Broadwell). The technology has now finally improved so much that we can get good tablets/laptops. As mentioned below, look at the fanless Core M CPU and the USB 3.1 Type C connector.

Although the thought is really good, I hope you’re going to soon release (between January and March 2015) a revised version of this notebook with the following improvements:

  • If you’re principally going to bring out a glossy model to attract a wider range of consumers, I would like a sticker that would ‘degloss’ the screen available. I prefer a matte screen.
  • USB 3.1 type C connector that can finally be used as a single docking port! Read more at e.g. http://www.anandtech.com/show/8558/displayport-alternate-mode-for-usb-typec-announced
    This is a killer feature of which the spec has been released.
    With this I hope you can release one power adapter with an usb 3.1 C connector.
    Maybe implementing a chip like the asm1142 usb 3.1 controller is an option.
  • If possible, make a replaceable M2 sata slot instead of using eMMC memory. Seems optional, it really depends on your considerations of you as a design team.
  • 3G and/or 4G mobile data connection with SIM slot. Don’t make it optional, as having to produce two models increases costs.
  • Preferably no wireless charging as it’ll only increase costs.

 

I really hope you’re going to implement (some of) these wishes into an Intel Core M tablet release it between januari-march 2015. The reason I’m right now posting this is after seeing the killer feature spec of USB 3.1 C available now, you can implement it in the coming months and create a great product.


Inspiron 3521 laptop not switching on

0
0

Hi,

From last 2 days, I have seen that my laptop 3521 Dell doesn't switch on at all. Second thing I have observed is that, when I have my charger connected to the plug point (not connected to the laptop), I see the green light on the charger as ON, but the moment I connect it to the laptop, the light from the charger turns OFF and ultimately, my laptop doesn't charge. I mean no power supplied.

What do you think is the solution to this problem?

The steps I have carried over so far are -

1) I have tried checking the laptop battery by taking it out and reputing it in the laptop and trying to see if it works, same problem.

2) I have tried checking if everything is okay with the charger, but still the same problem.

Any suggestion or solution to this problem, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Latitude E6420 temperature sensor?

0
0

I have a latitude E6420, 2nd generation I believe, and I have heard that the GPU/CPU tend to get a little warmer than they should. I was planning on getting the dual piped heat sink but in the mean time I wanted to monitor the temperature. I tried looking in the bios but I couldnt find a system temperature and my default linux system monitor doesnt show any data as far as a system temperature goes. I know these machines have thermal protection but what about temp sensors? I could always throw a k-type thermocouple inside and plug my fluke meter in to check, but it would be nice to have a native display of my system temp.

Dell Inspiron 14R beeps 5 times when turned on

Hi there,

I have a new Dell Inspiron 14R (4 months old) and recently I have been encountering an annoying problem during start up. It beeps for 5 times every time I turned it on. Not to mention that I am currently overseas (I bought it back home Indonesia and I am staying Netherlands for the next couple of years) so it's kind of hard to submit technical support request.

Can somebody suggest what I should do, at least a short-term remedy for this problem?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers!

Keyboard battery with Venue 11 Pro

How can I tell what power I have remaining in the Dell (battery enabled) keyboard for the Venue 11 Pro?

I've charged it separately and connected it to the screen, however the system reports no further improvement in the system's battery availability. In fact, it states that 'Battery 2 is not present'.

Thanks

2000-0142 error

0

Hello,my computer is a Dell xps and got it in December 2012. It stopped working last night and I am dying because I have very important information in there. I took it to a pc repair shop and they couldn't do much because they system is simply not responding,but they managed to get a code error,which is 2000-0142. I did a quick google search and sounds bad... Does anyone know if there's  a way I can recover my files? Is the computer dead- dead?

How can I get in contact with dell support service? It happens that I bought this computer in the US, but I'm currently living in Australia and the system keeps reporting an error because of it.

Thanks;

Is this true?
