Inspiron 6400 Synaptics touchpad

0
0

Hi folks.

This is my first post in the Community forums. I love my Inspiron 6400 I have had it for years and I have had virtually zero problems. I understand that Win7/8 is not officially supported on this model but currently my laptop is setup to dual boot Win7/8. It runs great on both OS. I have upgraded the one gig of ram to two gigs and the 80 gig hard drive to 320 gig.

Ok the question - I'm hoping someone out there has already solved this minor issue. The Synaptics software package for the touchpad install and works perfectly for Win7. It also installs ok for Win8 but the edge scrolling feature does not work.

In Device Manager it is listed as Synaptics PS/2 Port Pointing Device

and the driver version is 9.0.1.3

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Num lock turning on or off

Hi,

Kind of strange behavior. The keyboard works fine. Only the number section (Inspiron 17R SE) acts up.

When i switch between software/application the lock is on or off without touching it. Annoying!

I sometimes have a black number 9 showing up in the taskbar...but it comes and disappear.

I checked my registry (InitialKeyboardIndicators) and the number "2" is at the right place.

Any ideas? Tricks?

Need help....thanks you.

Hi, 
My brand new Dell Inspiron 14z (windows 8, Intel(R) Core i7-3517U CPU @ 1.90GHz, Ram 8GB) is so slow!!! I could not install MS office or any software...it was just taking ages. Is there any hardware issue?
And also I was looking in the device manager Intel WiUSB (USB-IF xHCI USB Host Controller) is showing warning sign. 
I need some advice.

White screen (L502x) Sometimes wont boot.

So this is my problem... I ran a diagnostics test yesterday because I was having the issue,

and ended up failing the short-self test for HD failure or whatever...

I read up on it, and found out that I should save all of my content and get a new HD ASAP..

So I did I bought a 256gb Corsair SSD, installed it perfectly it showed up in bios right away.

I figure that would solve the problem, or that that was possibly it..

But I keep getting this screen sometimes.. Sometimes it starts up fine, sometimes I have to restart it a few times or nothing shows.

Like earlier I had to restart it around 20 times.. I figure it would be the video card next but I have run multiple diagnostics and EVERYTHING passes.

So I'm really confused on what to do here... I started fresh with the new HD, everything works wonderfully when I am in windows but I just can't figure this one out... I would really love some help and hopefully be able to solve this dillema.

Anywho here is the screen that I get, hopefully somebody knows the problem..

Thanks in advance..

N5110 TouchPad Malfunction

0
0

Hello all!

I have an Inspiron N5110!

The problem: I can not click items by tapping the touchpad, and the left button below the touchpad does not work.

Additional info: The right click below the touchpad works, and the touchpad does move the cursor.

To help speed the process I have completed some of the suggested steps before seeking help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers.

I have attempted the Fn command to turn off/ turn on the touchpad. I have flashed the bios. I have also run a system diagnostics, which didnt have a touchpad category by the way. Finally, I have entered the repair mode to see if the left click or the touchpad click would work, which it does not.

I have used this previous post as a guideline, but it did not lead to an answer.                                                                                                                  http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/p/19479054/20242472.aspx

If you guys could lend any help, that would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken

D530 display heat and HDD noise

0
0

Hi everyone,

I just bought this used D530 and all works fine so far but there are two things that I'm a bit worried about. One is that the bottom of the display/display bezel heats up quite quickly, after just 10-15 mins of use and gets noticeably hotter than any other parts of the computer, as hot as 45 C when idling.  Is this normal or is it something I should worry about? Are other D530s or other Latitude models known to be having this issue? Also, does anyone know what could cause this excessive heat and how it could be reduced?

The other thing I noticed is this constant low buzzing noise (similar to the noise fluorescent lamps make) that the laptop produces once it is turned on. I came to the conclusion that it is most likely the hard drive, as the sound seems to be coming from under the left palm rest and it stops when the computer goes into sleep mode. The HDD itself is a WD 80GB drive. Do you think it's normal that it's producing this noise? It's not terribly loud but it's loud enough to be annoying. Is there a way I could reduce it? 

My specs are:

Intel Celeron M 540 1.86 GHz (1MB L2 cache) 
1GB DDR2
HDD: WDC WD800BEVS-75RST0 80GB 
15" XGA TFT
Intel GMA X3100 

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Arisztid 

XPS L502X Sticking/Freezing

0
0

Hi,

My XPS L502X is sticking/freezing constantly.

Intel core i5

NVidia graphics card

Toshiba 640 gb hard drive

4gd ram

 

My WEI has a base score of  5.6

Processor - 6.9

Memory - 5.9

graphics - 5.6

gaming graphics - 6.3

hard disk - 5.9

 

 

I've had the laptop for 18 months and this problem has been evident since day one, but it is now getting worse. videos/music stick and when typing an email etc whole sentences are missed out.

 

Internet explorer is always freezing and cutting out, trying to surf the web is a nightmare.

 

I have run all the diagnostic tests and they have all came back fine.

 

If you go into the event log it is full of errors mostly warnings but a few are marked critical.

 

I put the laptop into my local computer repair shop to check the hardware and see if they could trace the problem, they could find no problem with any of the hardware fitted and said the problem was most likely a software conflict but it could take a while to trace and seeing as they charge by the hour I decided to try this forum one more time.

All the latest drivers are installed.

 

My recovery disc was lost when we moved house so I cannot reboot to factory settings but having done that already a year ago it made no difference. I have now added windows 8.

 

Any ideas on how to trace the conflict quickly as i'm at the end of my tether and feel like throwing the damned thing in the bin and never buying dell again.

 

Nick...

I have developed a problem with my Dell Inspiron m5030 in that the computer will not boot up and gives 7 beeps.  The computer was diagnosed that the processor failed.  Is there a recall for this as it appears to be a common problem?

Dell Studio 1749 Keeps Hibernating Randomly

0
0
Good day all, I'm hoping someone can help me here. My laptop isn't even a full two years old yet and it's been having the issue of hibernating randomly while I'm working on it. I've ran one of the scans of the entire thing provided here on the Dell Support site and found that my only issue is the battery that needs changing. However, my laptop is also plugged into the mains when this hibernating occurs so I feel sceptical about whether that is really the issue here. Is that possible? Or is there something bigger than that going on? I'll be looking into a replacement battery regardless but if something else is happening I'd like to know. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
