Keyboard issues with new Dell XPS13 (2015)

$

I have just started to us the new Dell XPS 13 (with Touchscreen).

The issue being faced is with the 'Spacebar'. If tapped on  the right edge it inserts a double space! This happens if  the keystroke is held for a slightly long duration. 

I have reduced the repeat rate and the repeat delay but it doesnt solve the problem.

Any ideas?


M3800 USB Ethernet HostID

I have a Precision M3800.  This comes with a USB to Ethernet adapter - not an ethernet port on the system.  

I have configured a license file for an application (MathCAD) based on the LAN adapter hostID which I thought would have been the internal card - I am assuming it has one.  However, the application will only run with the USB adapter plugging in.  If it is removed then the HostID cannot be found.  

Does the internal card power down when the USB adapter is not plugged in? 
Is there a way of getting it to stay on so the hostID can be found whether the adapter is in or not?  

Thanks

Dell Inspiron 17 3721- A/C and battery problems

$

Hey guys, just recently I have realized that my dell inspiron is having some battery problems. Just today morning I realized that when I remove the A/C/ power plug, my computer completely shuts off. 

I have no idea why its doing this. When I look at the windows task bar, my battery shows that it is fully charged (100%).

Its so weird and frustrating. In my opinion I believe its more of a settings issue rather than a hardware issue. My computer is telling me thats its full charges as well as its saying that it has not detected any problems.

Any help or feedback is appreciated ;)

Alienware 15 Problem - Norwegian Support

$

Hello, I have a HUGE issue with DELL and more specifically with the Norwegian support.

I bought an Alienware 15 from the university (in Norway) and the product came in DOA, not being able to turn on.

Dell took 3 weeks to come and fix it (it is NBD 3 years)!!! They said they changed the mainboard while the power supply was already measured not to give any voltage (measures by the technicians of the university).


I got the laptop and the front lightFX lights are not working, the screen does strange noises when you press it (it is like it has not been fixed in place).


I sent a technical request to dell norway the day before yesterday and they still haven't answered me (NBD I said...). I am very frustrated. I have another alienware from Greece and when it had a problem DELL Greece immediatelly solved it.


I have never seen this type of support. This product is clearly of poor quality and one problem appears after the other. The initial problem was DOA and they did not even replace the complete unit!

Do something, or please give me the email of DELL US, I need to send them this because I am very unhappy with this situation!!!!

Latitude 10 ST-2 Miracast support

Hi there, 

Just wondering if anyone knows if the Latitude 10 ST2 supports miracast and if so how to get it to work. I am running windows 8.1 with all the updates available, and according to the dell upgrade tool all my drivers are up to date. 

I had a look at the DXDIAG and the WDDM running currently is version 1.2. I know Miracast requires 1.3, is there any way around this, is it a hardware issue, or a lack of an update from Dell? 

Thanks in advance,

Keith

Dell Inspiron 15R 5110 laptop and power brick shorted out.

Out of the 9 or so laptops I've purchased from Dell, this is probably the worst laptop I have ever purchased.  There are too many issues with this laptop.  

First off because of the poor design of the laptop with its hinges, the plastic breaks very easily on the right side, as noticed by the numerous threads on this forum.

Back to the original problem: I was on the laptop and heard a small popping sound and started smelling like burnt plastic.  The laptop went black and turned off.  I looked around to see where the smell was coming from.  The smell was coming from the laptop and the power brick.  

I tested the power brick and it's completely dead as well.

I am out of warranty.

Recently when i turn on my laptop i am getting 5 beeps before startup and it becomes normal. Model- Dell Inspiran 15 3000. Bought this just a week back.

Keyboard Back Light Setting Not Showed On Dell Quick Set Apps

I have dell XPS L702X which i bought at 2011. For some reason I need to re-install OS on my laptop, and since i lost my driver CD that bundled with my laptop, I downloaded all driver needed from dell support, including dell quick set apps which I think have various function including keyboard back light settings, but both driver provided which is Version 11.0.10, A03 and Version 11.0.22, A04 failed to provide keyboard back light setting. My question is this caused by my hardware damaged or is that version of dell quick set not including keyboard back light?

My Dell M3800 cannot connect to a 5GHz Wireless Network.  Any thoughts?  It says I have the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 card.  I have a tablet with the same card and it connects fine.  It does say the driver is from 2013 and there is not an updated one from the dell download center.  Is this only a single band card?


Dell XPS 12 touch pad MYSTERY: No driver, no software, no item in device manager, Cypress touch pad doesn't install anything. HELP!!!!

I have read many posts on Dell forums of users plagued by the touch pad on the XPS 12. One of my users is having a similar issue with the touchpad bouncing the cursor around and opening/closing applications. I am trying to turn down the sensitivity on the touch pad, as this has shown to work with other Dell models in our network but cannot find any settings anywhere for it.

The forum solutions say to install the latest driver for Cypress Touch pad off the Dell Drivers and Downloads page; I have done this numerous times and the software appears to install, I reboot, but then no software shows as installed in Programs and Features. The touch pad does not even show as an installed item in Device Manager. I am at a complete loss for where to go with this. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Alienware 18 rebuild from scratch - need advice

I have completely wiped out the HD's on my Alienware 18 and I want to rebuild the system from scratch.  I have configured the two HD's in a Raid0 2TB configuration.  Rebuilding that with Windows 8.1 is not a problem, however I'm not sure what to do with the 80GB mSATA (SSD?) that is there as well.  Is that just used for the swap files and such, or what?  I'm not sure how it is integrated into the system.  Any help?

I bought a Dell Laptop from the Outlet store.  The model I bought was the XPS 9530.  The service tag pulls up the XPS 9530 but the strangest thing is that the laptop has a "thunderbolt" port.  I have never seen this configuration on an XPS 9530, but rather on the M3800. Do certain XPS 9530 come with thunderbolt? It says I have a late 2013 model.
