Dell inspiron 7000 screen issue

0
0

Hello all,

I have an issue with my laptop. As you can see in the picture below there seems to be a broken spot within the screen. The glass plate on top of the screen itself has no scratchmarks whatsoever and the back plate of the screen is as new as well. The mark persist when the screen is turned off. So i think that the pixels are burnt in or broken.

 I was wondering what is wrong with the screen and whether it falls withing warranty or not.

kind regards

So I have an Alienware m17x r4 just got it about 2 years ago coming close to 3. So the problem.... I turn on my computer and it turns on but it's black screened, the black light is on the key board lights and everything but I can't see anything. I have tried everything dell says to do: 1)Turn of the system and take out the cord and battery. hold the power button for 30 seconds and let go, waiting 2-3 minutes before putting the battery back in and powering in on. This did not do anything. 2)Turn on the computer and hold the D key and see if the lights come up. They do come on and it allowed my computer to turn on one I clicked power again but when running Alienware autopsy my computer goes to the blue screen of death. I tried this several times and got the same thing. 3) Lastly it said to reset my computer to factory condition which I did using the CD. It turned on but no network would show up so I put the software from dell for my computer on a flash drive and put it in mines and it worked but when checking for updates nothing would show up so I had to manually do some. After about an hour of the i turned off my computer and back on and it tells me I have 116 update which I instal or try to, one update wouldn't go through and I got the code 80070103. So I turn of the computer for the update and when I turn it on my computer pops up a warning screen the my hard drive is full. I never filled it before with everything I had and now I only had updates on it.

Cursor Lag Immediately After Typing

0

Hey guys, 

I was hoping someone could help me with this extremely bothersome issue.

I own a Dell Precision M4800 Workstation running Windows 8.1 64-bit and the problem is that when I type text, no matter where (address bar, Office, iTunes, etc), and go to move my cursor immediately after, it takes about 3-4 seconds of me swiping on the touchpad to get it to move. I have searched for solutions, and found that some others have had the same issue but have not yet found a definite answer. Please if someone has any insight to this really annoying problem I would greatly appreciate a reply. Thank you very much.

Regards

Terrible Customer Service

I was just hung up on by Dell customer service. He told me my order could not be returned or exchanged and that he would make sure that everyone who looks at this order or tries to do this will not be able to and then he hung up.

I bought 3 Dell Wyse D00D Dual Core Cloud PC with 2 GB RAM. They description for this item was misleading and my IT person told me to buy these based on the description. I had to wait for my IT guy to install and when he finally came out he said they were the wrong ones. Since its been over 30 days Dell will not accept these items back. So now I have $1000 worth of useless equipment from Dell and not enough money to get what I needed.

Then I call and wait on hold for 30 minutes only to have some guy tell me he will make sure that no one can refund or exchange my purchase. Absolutely the worst experience I ever had with anyone.

Dell Inspiron 15 5547 - screen flickering, color dependant

0
0

I hope someone can help me. 

I bougth an Dell Inspiron Touch 15 5547 Laptop this summer and since the beginning, it flickered sometimes. It wasn't really bad, I used it mainly for excel work and the problem almost never occurs on excel. But just lately I noticed that the occurrence of the flicker is really heavy on some webpages or programs that use yellow or yellowish browns as their main color and I really hope there is some solution out there for this. 

The flicker always rises from the bottom up, sometimes only to maybe a fifth of the screen, sometimes almost all the way up. 

What I already tried and didn't help 

  • Change screen refresh rate 
  • update graphic card drivers or any drivers
  • changing the angle of the screen
  • plug in or unplug ac adapter
  • change screen resolution
  • Change screen brightness
  • change energy options

What I can't do right now is plug in an external monitor as I don't own the appropriate cable. 

Some facts: 

  • DELL INSPIRON 15-5547 I7-4510U/16GB/1TB
  • Touchscreen
  • 16 GB Ram 
  • AMD HD R7 M265

I made a video using my smartphone capturing the flicker. It is easy to reproduce. 
This website is especially heavy - the yellow/brown/Beige background makes it flicker wildly, if the main color of the screen changes to a darker color, the flicker stops immediately. 

[View:www.youtube.com/watch]

Not the best quality but I guess you can see that it stops right away when I click on the preview box. 

Hope somebody has an idea!

Has anyone had any issues with Dell e4300, 4310 or e6400's freezing when they should be hibernating

Has anyone had any issues with Dell e4300, 4310 or e6400's freezing when they should be hibernating. We have have some users complaining that the screen just freezes with the last thing they had up, or the screen goes blank and they can not start up the machines with out forcing the machiens to shut down. we are running windows 7 64bit  in our organisation, and the issue seems to be only effecting these machines. There are no error logs in event viewer except to say the machine was shut down incorrectly.

any help would be usefull.

up grading the wireless card

0

I have a XPS 15 L521x with a very poor wireless card in it.....it will receive only up to about 20 feet.  Dell has for the past 11 months run me around with techs and finally three came to the house and over the three trips replaced the antenna,the wireless card and finally the mother board......still only 20 feet.  After more tries, Dell elected to replace my XPS with a Inspiron 15 5547....a nice machine but without optical drive..which I need and it is not as rugged as the XPS.  I work in Alaska and need stronger.

What I would like to know is can I replace the wireless card with an Intel 1030 Wireless N 300Mbps WiFi & And Bluetooth BT Mini PCI-E Combo Card. This is what is in an XPS 15 L502x which has great range....which is what I need. The card is easily available for less then $20 .... I just need to get the soft ware to run it on the XPS.

Any help would be appreciated

THanks

function keys change in use unexpectedly (dell inspiron 7000)

0

It seems as if the first time after I restart my laptop (Dell inspiron 7000 series, windows 8.1) and I attempt to use the volume/ backlight toggle/ brightness/ etc keys found on the F keys on my keyboard, I can use them pretty much freely. The problem is after I close my laptop for the first time since restarting I then have to hold the Fn button to use them. It can be very annoying at times considering you eventually get used to holding the Fn key, so after the first time using them since restarted you end up hitting F4/5/6 etc instead of changing the brightness or whatever setting you are trying to change. I was wondering if there was some type of setting where I can make these keys permanently free to use as opposed to having to hold the Fn keys after the first time the laptop is in sleep mode. Any and all help appreciated.

New hard drive

I have a Latitude 6420 with a 320 gb hard drive running windows 7 ultimate 32bit..  I bought a new 750 gb  hard drive and tried to install windows and had problems so quit.   I just bought a 500 gb and loaded windows from the Dell operating system disk.  I created and formatted a partition and installed on that.  It gets to the point of the first restart and I get a disk read error, press ctrl alt delete to restart.  It will not read the disk.  There is no problem with the connection as I have removed and replaced the original drive and it works.  I connected the new drive to a usb and it appears loaded, however the disk will not boot.  The drive shows up in bios.  Latest bios installed today.  I then tried again with the 750 drive with the same results.  Files on the disk but it won't boot.  Is there a problem with the disk size?  I ran diagnostics with the 750 drive in place and it says no hard drive installed.  ( I didn't check that in bios.)  Did not run diagnostics on the 500 gb drive.  Any suggestions?  I have done clean install on 320 gb drives multiple times  with no problems.
