Can I purchase a replacement Motherboard from Dell
Hi All.
I just got a new Dell Precision m2800, and it appears if one of the ports on my system is dead.
If I plug my usb key, apple iphone, usb headset into one of the other two ports, they work just fine.
Has anyone else run into this? Is there something I can do here?
Regards
Hello,
On the recent build on 10156 the system restarted and then bricked itself.
It's an Inspiron 2014 7536(possibly can't check as bricked).
I get as far as the Dell Logo on startup. Leaving this alone the screen never changes(left overnight).
If I press F2 the screen flickers and hangs. Left overnight also.
If I press F12 the same thing happens as above.
I've removed the battery, held down the power button trying to drain the system but nothing. Today I remove the CMOS battery but nothing.
I can restart by holding FN taking me to the PSA test and there's no hardware issues.
I don't know what the issue is and Microsoft just replied saying Windows 10 Preview is at my own risk so tough luck basically.
Can somebody help?
Thanks in advance.
I can't turn on my laptop no matter how many times I try. The button lights up, black screen pops up and nothing. It's plugged in. I don't have a removable battery. Help!
Hello,
when I close the lid in battery mode, everything is almost find. But when I just leave it alone for 30 minutes, he also goes stand by and is not going to wake up anymore. The only think I can do is pressing power for some seconds for hard shut down....
Any solutions? Beside of turning of standy by...

Hello,
When using the laptop in battery mode, the keyboard randomly blocks on a key, like I would hold this key down. Like typing some command or some password, one of the keys (or enter) just holds, until i press something else
Didn't notice the issue in charing mode, but maybe it's not depending on which mode it runs
my laptop is 2011. the adaptor will not stay plugged in. I have had the port replaced twice. I ordered my adaptor from dell and purchased the one recommended. I have tried a universal adaptor which fits, but says "plugged in , but not charging". I am tired of constantly having to plug the adaptor back in to the laptop, it just keeps falling out. Any suggestions?
I want to add memory to my laptop but i cannot find anywhere in the Dell manuals, or online, if I have to build equally for the 2 slots. right now I have 4GB in each of the two slots I want to boost it to 12GB . can I just replace one slot with an 8 GB?
First, I now have this annoying blue box/outline that is randomly on the screen. When I type it often selects the spot I'm typing in which makes it difficult to see what I'm typing. I cannot figure out how to get rid of it.
Second, a computer voice now talks ALL the time telling me what's on my screen. How do I turn this off? I have to have my volume muting all the time now.
Thirdly, my touch screen stopped working. I calibrated it and it didn't change.
How can i restore Dell Factory window in Dell Xps 9530 can you explain with all steps?
I have a Dell XPS running Windows 7. During the past 3-4 months, it randomly shuts down. At first, it was infrequent. Recently, the random shutdowns frequency has increased. Today, it has shutdown 10 times. HELP!!!!
I believe I have a problem in my off-board video card amd. The supportassist dell doesn't recognize it, any changes in the switchable graphics settings does not alter the gaming performance (if I change some application from power reduction to high performance
nothing happens), and I already uninstalled the amd driver to test it and there was not any visible performance loss
This has really started to agitate me and has literally made want me to return my notebook..
I'd be scrolling a web page or google something and one moment my touchpad would be working "fine" (won't say smoothly) because it's not for starters, and then one moment later it completely cuts out making it unusable..
I literally have to press control, shift and delet to get to the task manager and then try and see if it works..
I've washed, mhands used a microfibre cloth you know.. It's really small issue if you think about it, but it has made such a huge (bad) impression with regards to the notebook.. I've also registered my service tag with dell and reguraly update my drivers and running the diagnostics does nothing..
it's gradually gotten worse and now basically is on a continual basis, maybe 15min apart...
WHAT THE .........??
Help? please...
Hi
I got a brand new latitude E3450 with ubuntu pre-installed. However there is a very serious problem with this configuraton. A keystroke randomly gets stuck and the character is repeated unless i press another key. This hapens 5-6 times a day as far as i observed, this is becoming very very annoying especially while writing a thesis or an article.
Spending some time googling i came across this ubuntu forum thread. It appears exactly the same issue but for E7450 and has been solved with a bios update....
askubuntu.com/.../dell-latitude-e7450-repeating-keystrokes-issue
My BIOS version is :
>sudo dmidecode -t bios -q
BIOS Information
Vendor: Dell Inc.
Version: A03
Release Date: 11/27/2014
Address: 0xF0000
Runtime Size: 64 kB
ROM Size: 8192 kB
Characteristics ........
After all, I think 3450 has the same problem but remaind unfixed. Does anyone know if Dell is to release any update for this ? This is a very serious issue :(
Many thanks in advance
Cheers

On the 30th June, I received a pop-up notice from the Dell Update icon on my Windows 8.1 system tray informing me of a BIOS update. I went ahead and allowed it to update my BIOS to the A04 version. All seems well, as far as I can see.
However, seeing this was the first time that the Dell Update program has done anything since I have had this machine (three months), I decided to take a look around. I noticed that the installation file seems to be cached in C:\ProgramData\Dell\Update\Downloads\BIOS\Dell Inspiron 5543 and that the file is called Inspiron_5543_A04.exe.
Now, I have an Inspiron 5548, so you'll understand why I'm confused as to why Dell Update seems to have downloaded and installed a file that seems to be for an Inspiron 5543. So, I went to the Support page for my 5548 and looked at the BIOS files offered, but noticed that there are four files that are suggested to be compatible with my machine. There's the file I mentioned above, and different files for the 5443, 5448 and my 5548. So, I started wondering that seeing as there are four files apparently compatible with the 5548, then maybe the files are the same, seeing as the motherboards might well be the same (not sure if they are, just presuming). Still, I noticed that the MD5 checksums were different for each file.
I'm presuming that this isn't a problem as such, in that the file for the 5543 will do for the 5548 as they might share the same actual code, and the page suggests that it's compatible for my 5548. However, seeing the file for a 5543 sitting there when the Dell Update utility could well have downloaded the file for the 5548, I'm not 100% sure if that was the right install that Dell Update installed. So, is there anything to worry about or is this not a problem at all? Everything seems to be working, so maybe I'm fussing over nothing, but just want to make sure.
Sorry for the long-winded post.
Today I plugged in my power adapter and it started smoking. Would it be possible to get a replacement sent to me? I would have just emailed or called dell directly but it would not give me links to do so.
Power adapter model number: GA240PE1-00
Input: 100~240V 3.5A
I understand that Windows 10 not yet released. If anyone had Windows 7, then upgraded to Windows 8 and the Windows 7 Alien Sense still worked. That would be good info. To suggest that upgrade to 10 would still work with Alien Sense.
Bought this laptop a month ago and now facing several problems ! And the next one on the list is with graphic card. I recently noticed that the Catalyst Manager or GPU-Z is showing installed graphic card as AMD Radeon M265 instead of M270 (which should have come with the laptop). I have installed all the latest graphic drivers and A04 BIOS.
Please I need some information on this problem, whether is actual hardware or with some drivers.
