I have Dell Inspiron 1370, it has nvidia G105M . The fault is, when I run the laptop its screen split into 6 portions. Before that began to happen, Windows had showed a "driver not responding" warning and after that it just runs in 6 screen portions.

Touch pad not working.

Inspiron 1525 keeps shutting off without warning

My laptop will randomly turn off. I don't think that it is overheating because sometimes it just shuts off like 1 minutes after i turn it on. I don't feel any heat coming from the fan or anything. When it turns off it doesn't go through the shutdown process it just turns off. Iv'e tried a factory reset and a complete virus/malware scan. 

Inspiron 15R SE (7520) Not Charging, Won't Stay Powered On

Hi Dell,


My Inspiron 15R SE which I purchased from Dell Canada in February 2013 recently acted up on me. It was just like any other day, I run the laptop battery down, then plug in the power adapter when its low.

This time however, the laptop just suddenly shutdown (not through Windows, like just up and died). I tried to power it up again and each time, barely 30 seconds after it powers up, it just up and dies.

I had to do work on it so I thought I let it sit for awhile to charge the battery, thinking that I can run it on battery at least. But alas I left it there for even a whole night and the battery did not even charge a drop.

I then tried removing the battery and only running on power adapter only but it won't even start. I have also tried another power adapter but the same issue persists so I can safely rule out the power adapter.

The power port doesn't look damaged either so I hope I can get some help on this, seeing as I have always loyally bought Dell throughout the years, and I really need to get work done (it is my primary computer). Thank you in advance.

Synaptics touch pad V8.1 scrolling only when in contact with my body :)

I have  Dell XPS-14Z laptop with a Synaptics touch pad  V8.1. The touch pad is giving  me a trouble. When I have the laptop on the desk and I place my finger on the touch pad, does not want to move the cursor. When I have the laptop on my lap, it works fine. Also, when on the desk, if I hold the laptop on the left side next to the touch pad, or  place my hand underneath the laptop, the cursor moves fine. the buttons work ok at all times. So, I conclude, the touch pad is scrolling only when in contact with my body :)

It looks like the laptop needs to make some sort of a circuit for the touch pad to work. Any ideas on how I could help resolve this?

Thanks

Hi ,

Recently I brought this laptop from Dell, the moment we started this laptop i figured out it has mouse point issue. Some time mouse point is not working. It supporting only touch screen at that time.

I called customer care for help, they tried to install some drivers in online but they did not fix it , later they send service guy to home for repair, he opened and did some thing  and he's not able to repair it and after few days they sent new mother board with service guy came and try to fix. Still they did not fix it, then they ask us mail that , but still they didn't send  box.

I brought this on 08/29/14; almost 2 months got over , but still the new laptop not for use.  I didn't understand why this laptop not repairable? did they send not fully tested laptop to me?

 I suppose to return this the moment I found this error, some how I delayed returning  with in 30days, now punishment is totally not usable.

Any one have idea how to repair this?

Thanks,

Rambarki

Inspiron 3520 Powers off with screen tilt

$

0

Hello there,

     I am operating a Dell Inspiron 3520 and have been having trouble with the machine powering down and becoming unresponsive with screen tilt (not closure). The computer appears to be functioning normally until I tilt the screen forward, at which time the screen goes black and all lights indicating power turn off, as if the machine has powered down. I cannot make the machine power on again for some time until I have taken the battery out, put it back, and pressed the power button several times. This problem has occurred more frequently in recent days and I currently cannot turn the machine on to troubleshoot.

My fear is a dysfunction in the sleep trigger within the screen/lid closure system.

Does anyone have ideas? Has this been a problem for anyone in the past?

Dell Inspiron 1545 Windows 7 Completely Black Screen, Can't GET to Windows Logo

$

Hi I need serious help fixing my old machine. My Dell Inspiron 1545 fails to make it to the Windows Logo when I turn it on with the power button. When I do turn it on the machine runs, you can see it's on but the screen is completely black, no cursor, no underscore, absolutely black. I have tried starting up pressing F8 or F12, either by themselves or with the Fn key, and nothing is working. And I must get on this machine before I update my old DAW software.

Can someone please help me? This problem began after one night Windows 7 failed to install an update and it was left "shutting down" for almost a whole day so I had no other option but to turn it off by pressing and holding the power button. Idk if it's a case of shutting down during an update but now it won't turn on at all. Everything else is fine, I have the proper adapter plugged in etc. I don't think this update was totally manual it was like a leftover one I chose not to do long ago.

The model number is:

Model No. PP41L

Please help!

Hello, 

I recently received the 2000-0142 error when running the diagnostics on my 7720 laptop. I found this to be a hard drive error and purchased another hard drive. After installing the new hard drive I received the 2000-0332 error. 

Would anyone have any tips on resolving the 2000-0332 error to get my laptop back up and running?

Thanks

Inspirion sees device plugged into USB but won't plug and play.

Inspirion 6000 running WinXp (yeah I know but it's what I got). It was in regular use until about a year or two ago then stored. Brought it back out for a project and when I went to plug in a wired mouse that I used to use with it, it wouldn't recognize it. I figured there was an issue with the mouse so got a new plug and play wireless mouse/keyboard and when I plug the dongle in, it says " 2.4G Keyboard Mouse" but can't install it. I've flashed the bios and nothing. Any ideas?
