inspiron 15 problems

$

0

ok first of all let me start off with audio i bought this laptop earlier this month and i noticed after a week tht one of the speakers wasnt making any sound so i looked it up and most people said its probably a driver or a balance so i checked all sorts of sound tests balance left speaker right speaker mute or not mute (only the left speaker works) i uninstalled the drivers (realtek) tried it out with the trusted(sarcasm) windows 8 drivers  only sound tht came was left side i also checked it with it dell diagnostics  both  in windows and before windows it showed tht everything was perfect and the bios dell diagnostics had a sound check so i tried that and only had sound in the left one (so im guessing its not a windows problem).So if i have missed sumthing here pls enlighten me also i havent installed vlc or wutever sound mods so i didnt blow it up infact i dont think i ever even made my sound volume goto 100.

Second problem is the damn grahics driver first time i opened my laptop it told me to check my graphics driver and started acting out (my screen was blurry) so i tried to install the latest driver which didnt help so i returned the laptop and got a new one..same problem after which i discovered that theres a specific driver that it recommended which works.Now  if any of you r assuming that oh so what just cuz the graphics driver isnt up todate it should atleast perform normally not act like sumthings broken or overheated ...well no it does anyho  the problem is it still sumtimes asks me to check my catalyst (it doesnt open anything when i click it) but thts about it it works great other then tht and im not sure if this is related to the graphics or disk bt sumtimes it automatically deselects and selects on whatever im doing (mostly on firefox) also tht problem was on my first laptop bt it was very frequent
which leads us the the third problem disk...the system is great other then all of these problem bt sumtimes i noticed it starts hanging only in the startup and reason behind it is i noticed that on my task manager the disk goes full 100% usage mostly cuz of system and the pre antivirus loaded on it bt im guessin thts a windows 8 problem i dont really knw

OH and i almost forgot about the bios yeah when i got my second laptop on like the third day there was an error which i woke up to i had left my laptop on over night on a normal surface meaning it didnt heat up or anything..it wasnt hot anyho it was sum random error which i restarted my pc the dell screen came and then a black screen it said checking media then FAIL
then it said checking media FAIL and it booted normally and it does tht every day since then of course the diagnostics and everything else works fine it says everything is fine TELL ME HOW TO MAKE IT GO AWAY

My 3 month old Inspiron 13Z has stopped working, due to the following error message 2000-0332. When I called Dell, they wanted an additional $199 to resolve the graphic driver mishap. I can't bring myself to pay Dell for a repair on a new computer. Can anyone provide step by step to fix this myself? Thank you! Cant say that I will ever buy another Dell ...

Ok... yes this is an older laptop but I have had no issues with it bofore until I upgraded my Router. I went from an old Belkin to a new NetGear N900 Dual Band WNDR4500 that sync'd fllawlessly with everything else in the hous, 2 Iphones, 1 Ipad, 1 desktop, 2 Playstations, a Wii and A Sony Smart TV... all but my Dell Laptop. It will connect, then after 2 seconds, disconnect, I have tried removing drivers and re-installing them, removing hardware through through windows and re-installing it. deleting all connections and re-connecting, changing channels in router... all to no avail. Please help point me in the right direction. It seems like I had a similar issue with a Netgear router at a friends house years ago and am wondering if this is a known problem.

I have an Inspiron 15R Special Edition (7520) and would like to install a Solid State Drive. Is this difficult to do and what would I need to do to transfer the data from the original drive. Is it possible, for instance to reinstall the pre-installed software straight from Dell's website onto the SSD and how best should this be set up.

I have an issue with my laptop, Dell Inspiron 7720 17R SE, when I turn the machine on it fails to boot. After seeing a similar post when a Dell employee linked to a help post I followed the link. This was the page: http://dell.to/14tVLOC My laptop fails to finish initial power up (POST) but when I follow the link of what to do next (http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/uk/en/ukdhs1/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?docid=DSN_361764&isLegacy=true) I get a page saying the article does not exist? Can you please give me some advice on how I can resolve this issue?

Hi. My dad(he can't speak EnglishBig Smile) bought very cheap secondhand Latitude E5500(just laptop, batterry and charger) but we have some problems...

1) We have some problems with multiplier regulating, it's hanging somewhere about 1,5Ghz(think it's c2d 2,4Ghz) and laptop is pretty lazy :( (tried another cpu, same) -- Mayble problems with NB or SB?

2) We tought that stock battery is dead, so we ordered new, but laptop is not charging! :( (tried adapter from friend's Vostro, my Inspiron 15z and brothers's ATG -- motherboard?

Thanks for your answers. :)

My 3 month old Inspiron 13Z has stopped working, due to the following error message 2000-0332. When I called Dell, they wanted an additional $199 to resolve the graphic driver mishap. I can't bring myself to pay Dell for a repair on a new computer. Can anyone provide step by step to fix this myself? Thank you! Cant say that I will ever buy another Dell ... Update - we called Dell back and told them it was a hardware problem. This time they told me that if it was a hardware problem, they would replace it for $199. First call was extended warranty for the price, now this. Is there no way to get them to honor a warranty for a faulty computer, other than pay additional $199?

screen turns off mid use

Hi

My dell Xps screen randomly goes blank (black screen). I have to move the mouse, type or touch the keyboard for it to turn back on. But then it turns off seconds later. This happens about six or seven times in a matter of a few minutes and then theres no problems for the next couple of hours and then starts again. 

I have tried uninstalling the video and graphics card drivers and re installed them but it has not resolved the issue. 

I have also run diagnostics checks through the dell website and all tests have been successful.

Would appreciate some help with this.Thanks

Hi! Ive recently bought a Inspiron 15z and the touscreen has already been showing this annoying glitch, whenever I wake up the computer, the touscreen starts "clicking" on everything, as if somebody was running his fingers frantically over the screen. Till now, the solution is to put the computer to sleep and wake it up again, but this is really annoying. Ive been trying to download the touchscreen driver but im being unable to find it anywhere.

Does somebody have a solution to this?

Thanks!
