Alienware 13 devices stop working while gaming

$
0
0

When I am playing games without the AC plugged in, the brightness will decrease, the wireless mouse would get disconnected, and even the touchpad became glitchy. Everything fixes once I plug in the AC adapter. I just got this alienware a week ago.

Is the computer trying to save power by shutting things down? Is there a way to prevent this or do I have to plug in the charger when I am playing?

I have 2 laptops inspiron 7520 and<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>

. i hadn't used them in a long time, like more than 3 months, so i decided to boot them up yesterday. All was fine and they showed low battery (as expected) but when i connected them to the charger i faced weird problems.

  1. The charger wouldn't turn on. The light on charger didn't turn on. After leaving the charger connected to a socket for 3 or 4 hours it started working. So can someone tell what caused this issue or was it a normal behaviour l?
  2. Now the main problem, after my charger started working i connected it 7520 after which the charger stopped working(the led turned off). After removing the charger from the socket and reconnecting it the led turned on. The charger charged my 5010 properly and again turned off after connecting it to 7520.

Can somebody please tell me what and where might the problem be?

Hi.

Basically, I've bought a UK DELL<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>

 and I want to replace it's keyboard to RU keyboard.

I've already purchased RU keyboard but it comes without frame. RU keyboard got the same frame as US keyboard but even for US there is no frame, so my question where can I get frame for DELL<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>

 for US/RU layout?

Another question is related to DELL Wireless<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>

 Gobi 4G LTE Broadband Card.

I have this LTE module installed in my laptop and there are 3 pins for antennas.

1 MAIN, 1 AUX and 1 GPS, but I can only see 2 antennas.

1 for MAIN and 1 for AUX.

Where is GPS antenna or it should be like that?

Dell Precision M6400 Won't Boot To Bios Screen? Need Help!

$

0

I bought a Dell Precision M6400 (#2) recently on Ebay and it arrived earlier today. Cosmetically the unit looks new, like it's seldom been used if ever. I need some advice because it just won't Boot To the Bios screen. The unit came without a HDD. 

 

When I power on it will not Boot To Bios and I tried for about an hour. The Dell logo splash screen appears on Power Up normally and the Bios progress bar makes it to 98% and the screen goes black and keeps trying to fully load. Fast at first and then gets very slow the last 80%. Makes it to 98% and keeps re-trying.  Below the progress bar on the splash screen read Bios Version A13, which is the latest version.

 

The seller did tell me that it may be 2GB of RAM and not 4GB, that a stick may have been removed. I get nothing when I try F2 and when I try F12 I get a little message top right in yellow, "Preparing For One Time Boot Option" but that disappears when the progress bar reaches 98% and tries again and again. 

 

I think it's something simple. When I get time tomorrow I'm going to start checking the RAM and see if it's seated properly. If that isn't the culprit what should I check next?

Dell xps 13 screen does not come on

The "on" button remains lit all the time on my dell XPS13 laptop. I can get the keys to light up, so electricity is clearly available. But the screen doesn't come on, even when I press the screen key at the bottom left of the keyboard,. Nor will it come on when I press the Function key with the screen icon on it. I can't close the system down either, for example by pressing ctrl + alt + delete. Nor does the system go to "sleep" when I close the lid. Can someone help me with this problem?

I needed a new hard drive so got one at a computer store. Blank, raw, nothing on it.


I used the recovery CD I created just after getting my Inspiron thinking everything would get set up correctly. After it finished and I tried to reboot I get a "No Boot Device Found" error message.

New HDD: Toshiba 1TB 2.5" SATA

BIOS sees the HDD

Tried UEFI and Legacy booting (I think) in BIOS.

Any ideas on what's wrong?

Driver Update Problem with Latitude E6420

$

0

I am trying to make sure all my drivers for my Dell E6420 are up to date. I have gone to the support area of Dell.com and identified my machine. I let the site detect my drivers and then tell me what I need. I am at the point where I have downloaded all the drivers and installed them, but one keeps appearing:

Chipset |Intel Management Engine 7.1 Components Installer

This one keeps showing up even though I have installed it multiple times. I have tried downloading it manually and installing it from my desktop, downloading it and running it through the Dell site, downloading it with the Download Manager, but nothing works. I have also restarted my laptop several times.

Any suggestions on how to get this installed properly? Is this something I am doing wrong on the install or that the Dell site is not seeing and its an error there? Any idea how to correct it?

Thanks!

Please help!!! Looking to send in alienware17 with warranty on it

My alienware 17 has had a lot of problems over the last 6 or so months. A lot of them are probably traced to the motherboard. Overall the total quality of the computer has gone down the drain and im finding myself fixing it more than I am actually using it. I have a next business day support warranty on it and would really like to just send it in and get a new laptop. How do I do that? From my understanding, when I bought the warranty, I was told that I could send in my laptop and have techs assess it and do what was needed to be done. Can someone please instruct me how to do this? I paid 400 dollars for this warranty and would like to get something out of it.
