Dell Inspiron 3521 won't boot, beeps.

Hello, I have a Dell laptop Inspiron 3521 bought 18 months ago. I used it just a few times at first. Battery is OK.
Now  I try to use it but it doesn't boot,The fan starts to run then the laptop shuts down right away (screen stay black), then there is a regular beep (more like "tap") every 2 or 3 seconds approx. Last time after 21 sounds I long pressed the start button to stop it.
As I have another Inspiron 3521 which works, I changed the hard drive.....same problem.
It has been in my car when I moved, maybe it got hit, I don't know.

Could it be the coin-cell battery?

Hi,

I'm trying to connect my e7440 to my d5000 WiGig docking station.

Q1. How do i even know that my laptop has WiGig and supports this docking station? It's an e7440 (Mid 2013).

Q2. How do I install the driver?

When I try to install the driver Network_Driver_DPGKX_WN_10.0.0.268_A01.EXE

i get this error:

Of course, I cant install the application since the driver fails:

Network_Application_9D41C_WN_1.8.5.1280_A03.EXE

Have tried with

OS info:


Ethernet, WiFi and bluetooth is working on the computer. Can't see a WiGig icon i system tray.

Do I need to uninstall something to be able to install this? Please advice as thoroughly as possible.

I have a B.S.E. in Computer Science but it doesn't help in this case, which is why I turn to the dell experts here over at the forum. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

M4800 - avoid the QHD+ panel!

$

Boy, I wish someone would have posted this before I bought my new M4800 to replace my old M4700.

I went for the Win 7 and QHD+ combo. When it arrived it is very clear that Windows 7 is not up to the job of supporting the QHD resolution. OK, I used the 8.1 disk and reinstalled the system and got it going decently. Optimus is not supported on the nVidia card so battery life is horrible compared to my old M4700 (also i7 version).

Major issue with how Windows 8.1 supports monitors connected to the docking station. Constant insert/remove cycles and logout/login is required when docking and undocking to get correct scaling and resolution. With the M4700 everything was seamless. I use an 1920x1200 external 24" Samsung and with the M4700 the internal screen was 1920x1080 and Windows 7 worked decently.

PWM issues with the panel running in native resolution as well making me really regret the extra money put on the machine.

Lesson learned!

Dell Inspiron 3520 issue

$

Hey everyone. My Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop that runs Windows 8 (not 8.1) is having a problem where the screen will go completely white and vertical lines will form. Sometimes, I can use it for a little amount of time before this happens and I have to shut it off. I might end up taking it to a support place, but before I do so, I just wanted to know if anyone on here may have a solution. This happened with my last dell laptop, so I ended up just getting a new one, but I want to try and fix it this time. Also, I guess I should say just as an additional piece of information, my computer battery has been lost for about a year, so obviously, my computer has not been charged for quite some time. Could that have anything to do with it?

Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller (iastora.sys) corrupt on boot

Running a Dell Latitude E7440 on EFI + SecureBoot + Windows 8.1 + BitLocker and I randomly get start-up issues where the OS is flagging iastora.sys as corrupt. With no action taken I can choose to continue to boot through to Windows and it works fine. It doesn't happen every boot, but when it does the SrtTrail.txt log file contains:

Root cause found:
---------------------------
Boot critical file c:\windows\system32\drivers\iastora.sys is corrupt.

Repair action: File repair
Result: Failed. Error code =  0x2
Time taken = 2188 ms

Any thoughts on what might be causing corruption? I have tried installing the latest chipset drivers and that has not resolved the situation.

Hi
I have a dell Inspiron n5010 laptop and use it for personal works and photo editing as a photographer. when I watch a picture, in some specific zoom levels there are weird vertical and horizontal lines witch create many regular squares in the picture. it's not matter what software display it for me (it happens in every photo browsers I have and even in firefox)
here you can see them (this picture is taken by Prntscr Button):
35053785768283820672.jpg

here you can see that little squares witch is annoying for me as a photographer! these squares goes away if i zoom in more!
but some times squares are bigger like this: (same photo)

50799430194789579046.jpg

as you can see it looks like some sort of distortion!
and here you can see the same photo when it is displayed normally:
66698559113738719878.jpg

my own guess is some sort of GPU problem!
what I should do to get rid of these squares?
Thank you for your time and help

Laptop doesn't start up after motherboard replacement of Inspiron 1720

$

My Inspiron 1720 was not powering. I brought it to the store to replace the power jack and the problem was the same. I bought a motherboard from Dell and I installed it myself. Now, the laptop is not starting up, there is a black screen. My motherboard has a 90 days warranty. I called Dell support and it has been a horrible experience, I was transferred several times from "In warranty" support to "Out of warranty" support and vice versa, several times. I spent 2 hours on the phone without being helped. The confusion between them came because my laptop was out of warranty but I had a 90 days warranty on the Dell motherboard that I bought. So I decided to write on this forum. 

I think I followed well the installation instructions. I have a small doubt though. On page 20 of 68, it says: "NOTE: If a new processor is installed, you will receive a new thermal-cooling assembly, which will include an affixed thermal pad, or you will receive a new thermal pad along with a tech sheet to illustrate proper installation.".

I didn't use a thermal pad because I didn't install a new processor, I used the processor from my old motherboard. Was I right?

If I was wrong, what should I buy? Can you give me the instructions on how to use a thermal pad?

Bluetooth causes streaming buffering when Oontz speaker connected.

I have an Inspiron 15 3000 with Windows 8.1. I bought an Oontz Bluetooth speaker because the speakers in the laptop are lousy. I have no problem pairing and connecting, but then I start having frequent buffering when streaming and it makes listening impossible. 

is there some setting in the Dell Wireless 1705 802.1 1b/g/n (2.4GHZ) prperties that need to be changed? The speaker works fine when plugged in, but useless when connected wirelessly.

Thanks!

My touchpad doesn't work but the buttons are working fine. It also clicks randomly (not with the left or right mouse buttons) so I have to disable it. I have installed the latest version of the Synaptic driver and the problem still persists. I think only the touchpad is having a problem because when I use a wireless mouse, it works fine.

Sorry for poor English. :)
