XPS 14 Ultrabook (L421X) touchpad issues with Windows 8.1

0
0

I am having touchpad issues with my XPS 14 Ultrabook (L421X) with Windows 8.1. I have reverse scrolling enabled; however, right after bootup or waking up from sleep, the scrolling direction is not reversed (natural scrolling). After a few minutes the scrolling will switch to reversed. I have Reverse scroll direction enabled in the Dell touchpad properties. There is no natural scrolling option under Windows PC Settings > Mouse and touchpad to disable. I am thinking that there is an issue with the driver? The touchpad also becomes unresponsive at times. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the driver as well as different versions with no luck. I currently have Dell Touchpad Synaptics 17.0.8.0 installed.  

Anyone else have these issues with the touchpad?

XPS 12 Charging issue

Hi,

I have  a XPS12-9Q33 (Mid 2013) with latest A07 BIOS. Since yesterday, I am getting message that it is plugged-in  but not charging. Also getting the pop-up about it is not able to identify the charger and wants me to connect the right charger.

I have been using the original charger only. There is no damage to computer in any way. Everything else is working fine.

This was bought in USA  around July 2013 and I live in UK now.

I am already down to 40% battery.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Synaptics Touchpad Driver

Hi,

I own a Dell XPS 15 laptop. It's not had a problem in the 4 years that I have had it. I decided that a fresh start would do my laptop some good since I had tons of programs that I wasn't using. So I reset it using the Dell recovery software and when I was updating the drivers I found that I had a newer version of the touchpad driver that didn't work with my laptop. 

The fn key combination fn+F3 is supposed to disable the touchpad and I use it a lot and I found that the latest driver I installed from the Dell support site doesn't have this feature. It also doesn't have other gestures I was used to like using the palm of the hand to minimize everything on the screen.

It would be great if someone knew where I could get that since I use these features a lot. 

Thanks in advance!

Deepak Charles.

Latitude e6220 screen not displaying

0
0

My e6220 was overheating, like 55c at idle and 75c at poker/photoshop and 80c in video games. Obviously something wasn't right. The laptop was working perfectly other than that. But I bought the laptop used so I figured it hadn't been cleaned from dust and could use a thermal paste change. And calling myself rather tech-savvy (more on the software side, tho) I'd figure I'd just clean the laptop myself.

So I got the whole thing open, cleaned the heatsink (much to my surprise it wasn't really clogged up, minor dust) and applied new thermal paste. Granted I kind of rushed this, so I might've touched wrong things. So I put the whole thing back together, the computer boots fine I can hear it enter home screen with windows music. But the display only displays black (it's working, showing light, but nothing on it other than dark screen).

So my speculation is that I had to misplace something because I essentially took the whole thing open to get to the heatsink.

My theory:
1) by moving heatsink I messed the gpu kinda which why my screen doesnt display pic
2) screen cable badly connected


so I have 2 questions for the community:
1) Where/which is the screen cable & contact?? image if possible
2) What to do next?





Thanks in advance! Waiting for any help I can get, really need the laptop for work.

Dell Inspiron 15R: Says it's connected to wifi but doesn't work.

My dell inspiron 15R says that it's connected to my home wifi, as it usually does. Recently it has been saying it is connected but does not work when I try to open a browser. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting, turning off the wifi and then back on, restarting my laptop, and unplugging and plugging back in the wifi router. The connection works on all of my other devices in the house. Again, it SAYS it's connected (not limited) but when I open the internet it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Alienware Command Center Download

I'm looking for an alienware command center download for an Alienware M14x early 2012. I recently damaged my hard drive and had to reinstall everything. I've heard horror stories of poeple using the resource DVD and essentially bricking their lights and fans on the laptop due to an error. Any help to locate a download of the software and one that won't brick my lights would be appreciated.

Inspiron 15 7000 series cpu issues

0
0

My new laptop is great, but it has some serious issues with using to much cpu capacity. For some reason it feels like my cpu is used more than my ram is. For something as simple as downloading windows updates the cpu can reach 100%!!!! at which the cpu cooler goes crazy ofc.

A lot of the time I don't have any issues, but than suddenly out of nowhere the cpu goes crazy (noticed 9/10 times a windows update was being downloaded or installed).

Any suggestions would be great. It's a brand new laptop only 3 weeks old.

touchpad movement on dell 3542 inspiron

0
0

I bought this one recently and am also using a toshiba satellite. On the latter, when selecting whole page, for example, on a word document, the toshiba touchpad just needs to be moved for some distance, then it goes on automatically without further movement needed on the touchpad, as the area is limited on touch pad, and naturally this feature should be available on all laptops, I believed.


But, to my surprise, on this dell laptop, the cursor moves and selection continues, as long as finger is moved on touch pad. So most of times, full section is not done and it creates lot of inconvenience in long area selection on the document.

Does anybody has solution to this problem? I would be thankful to those who help me out here..

Dell E7250/E7450 - McAfee Endpoint Encryption, No boot disk

0

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help with the problem we have.  We have purchased several E7250 and E7450 laptops, which we've managed to configure with our corporate image but, when applying McAfee Endpoint Encryption v5.2.12, the following reboot reports an error at startup

"Error: 0xe002001b

No Boot disk was found"

We've applied this version of EEPC to all our previous Latitude models without issue, it's just this new model range. 

We've tried imaging using AHCI and RAID, other don't change the outcome.

If anyone has an answer to this, we'd be most grateful.

TIA

Darren

DELL Inspiron 7720 - Under heavy load shuts down immediately

0
0

Hi,

SPEC:

DELL Inspiron 7720 17,3'

 - INTEL i5-3210M @ 2.5 GHz

 - 4GB Ram

 - NVIDIA GEFORCE 650m + INTEL HD 4000

 - Windows 7 x64

 - cooling pad

OTHER:

- NVIDIA Driver - 347.52

 - DELL Test suite with all tests passed (or something similar) - No errors

PROBLEM:

 Laptopt under heavy load (Furmark every test or CSGO with 650m) immediately shuts down. I found out with furmark, when 650m achieve 83C shuts down entire laptop. Its quite stragge, because sometimes i can play CSGO for 2-3h without shut down or just 10-15 min.

Without cooling pad, furmark shuts down in 3s (with cooling pad at almost 10-14s)

Cooling paste was changed (Have to dismantle laptop cause high temperatures - CPU without load reached almost 80C)

When i switched to integrated card in CSGO (HD 4000) i could play for a very long time (no shut down but with low performance) - CPU max 66C but card without any usage reached around 45C max


Sadly, i never tested laptop under heavy load - i mainly played old games and League of Legends on low details (openhardwaremonitor reported only 45% GPU usage so..)
