Dell support replaced the display, after describing the issues like backlight bleeding, ghosting and gradient banding. I appreciate dell for that.

But the 2nd display also has backlight bleeding(more than previous one) and gradient banding.

Dell Studio XPS 1640 motherboard

Hi~  I have a Dell Studio XPS 1640 laptop purchased in 2008.  Was just told by a local computer repair shop that the motherboard needs replaced but it wasn't cost efficient to do so and there would be no warranty.  What are the chances of me doing this myself?  I can be moderately techno savvy and would like to attempt this.  And does anyone know the part number and where to buy one?  Thanks in advance.  So sad, loved my laptop.

P.S. this was AFTER I just purchased a new battery, new keyboard and upgraded to Windows 7 at their suggestion. :( :(

WiFi card Intel 7260 (laptop) - replacement options - Vostro 5470 wifi problem

$

I got last week a Vostro 5470 laptop, I love it so far, excepto for one thing, the WIFI Carda (adapter) is terrible.  I cannot even watch a movie on netflix properly, nor stream a video. 

It connects and disconnects, and it is very annoying, for reference check this thread: <https://communities.intel.com/thread/47983?start=0&tstart=0>

It´s been suggested that the problem wont go away, no matter what, and that a wifi adapter replacement is the only way, but being this a laptop wifi card, the form factor can be a problem.

Has anyone requested dell to change the WiFi adapter? 

Has anyone  replaced it in a Vostro 5470 sucesfully? If so, to which wifi card model? 

Any help would be appreciated!

According to Intel these features are "Vendor dependant" I've now spent 3 hours on the phone with likely every corner of the earth that has Dell people answering phones.  Dropped my call 3 times, transferred me over a dozen times still no answer.  Does anyone know if these two features are supported for the Dell Inspiron 17 series notebooks?

E7440 Integrated display and usb adapters turn off when docked

$

We have multiple E7440 laptops for our environment.

One of them however seems to have a docking issue. Laptop works great, but when you dock it, the display goes blank, and nothing shows on external displays connected to the dock.

I have updated to the newest display driver, and flashed the bios (A10), I have also set trackpad/mouse to ps2 only in the BIOS. I have even done a full OS reinstall and tried fresh.

If I plug in USB graphics adapters into the laptop, the display properly replicates/extends to the other monitors. If I dock the laptop, the integrated and usb adapter monitors go black. 

If I plug the USB graphics adapters into the dock, no change.

I have tried VGA, DisplayPort, and DVI cables on the dock, different monitors, and different cables. 

I have tried docking the laptop into multiple docks with no change. 

Is it a problem with the docking port on the underside of the laptop?

I recently turned on my Dell Inspirion N5050 with Windows 7 Home Premium and received a several  codes on a black screen:

"PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable

PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM

Reboot and Select proper Boot device or insert boot media and press key."

Pressing any key just causes a loop where the same screen appears.

Any ideas what is wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks,

I have tried hundreds of times to install the Dell System Detect.  I have downloaded it numerous times.  It finally installed today.  But still the same message "Application cannot startI.  I cannot even get  system to recognize my express service tag and service code.  It does automatically print my express service tag.  

MyDell always tells me I have windows update disabled, but it is enabled in my control panel.  I finally did get some updates run today, but after it STILL says it is disabled.  Thi.is driving me nuts!  I have a legitimate system - Inspiron 3521 laptop with windows 8.1.  The warranty is expired, but it should still recognize my service tag and service code.  I don't know how else to enable windows updates.

Please help!  I couldnot even send Dell an email.  since it does not recognize my service tag and code.
