7737 No boot

0
0

My slightly over a year old (yes the warranty has just expired!) 7737 restarted after a Windows update last night to hang at the Dell logo. Multiple restarts have the same conclusion, I see the press F2 or F12 options but if I do either the screen just goes blank and nothing further happens. I've tried taking the hard drive out and this gives me the No boot device detected message and I've tested the drive in another PC and its fine. Anybody experience something similar and have any possible solutions?

Dell Inspiron 15 5548 (2015) - Keyboard

0
0

I bought the DELL inspiron 15 5548 (2015) touch laptop , and here are my thoughts on the Keyboard and touchpad (or trackpad or whatever).

THE KEYBOARD ON THIS LAPTOP IS THE WORST EVER KEYBOARD. 

1) THE KEYS ARE VERY SMALL, MOST KEYSTROKES MISS THE ACTUAL LETTER ,

WHY DO THEY STILL HAVE THE NUMERIC KEYS IS BEYOND ME , WHO USES THE NUMERIC KEY?  

BECAUSE OF THESE NUMERIC KEYS, THE ACTUAL KEYBOARD WIDTH DECREASES AND THE KEYS ON THIS LAPTOP ARE ALSO EXTREMELY SMALL FOR ANY HANDS.

2) THE TOUCHPAD IS AWFUL AS *** 

3) DELL HAS ALSO CHANGED VOLUME CONTROL KEYS , YOU NOW HAVE TO PRESS FN AND F3 KEY  TO INCREASE VOLUME (WHICH IS SO BIZZARE)

4) THE TRACKPAD - I AM NOT SURE IF I HAVE TO TOUCH OR CLICK ON IT TO DO ANY OPERATIONS. PATHETIC.

WHY IS DELL IS IN THE LAPTOP BUSINESS AMAZES ME , THEY ARE RIPPING MONEY OUT OF PEOPLE TO SELL JUNK DESIGNS OF LAPTOPS.

PATHETIC AND HORRID LAPTOP KEYBOARD, I AM NEVER BUYING DELL AGAIN.

Dell Latitude E6440 works slow when docked and plugged in, doesn't charge, sounds are watery etc sounding

0

I have a Dell Latitude E6440 with dock and everything at work.  Worked fine for the longest time until some software conflicts that IT couldn't fix so we wiped and reinstalled Win 7.  I've updated every driver.  The laptop works fine when undocked and plugged in.  It works fine docked with everything connected as long as the adapter isn't plugged into the dock.  As soon as I plug the adapter into the dock, its like the laptop is skipping almost.  The little windows circle that shows something is loading isn't fluid looking, the sounds all sound slow and watery, and the battery doesn't charge either.  The icon doesn't look like its charging either.  Programs load really slowly.  If I unplug power at any time its like everything starts working fine.  Pull it off the dock and plug it in with the same adapter it runs great.  Another guy here has the exact same dock and laptop so I plugged into his dock and the same thing happens.  So I believe I've eliminated the adapter and dock.  Is there something software wise I need to update for the dock to work right again?  Everything works great sitting on the table but as soon as its docked with power it just starts going crazy.  Any thoughts?

Dell Inspiron 1764 - replace hinge

0
0

Hi

My hinges on my Dell Inspiron 1764 have become really stiff and is actually cracking the plastic surround.

I've managed to take it apart once before and loosen the hinge with the idea of buying some new hinges soon after but never got around to it! Now the hinges have gotten stiff again.

I made some notes from taking the laptop apart before but I can't fully understand them 2 years later! And now I can't seem to find the original website that showed me how to do this!

Can anyone point me to a video or blog which specifically shows how to replace/repair the hinge on the 1764? I keep finding hinge replacement videos/blogs on other inspiron's or how to replace the lcd screen on the 1764 but they're not quite right!

Please help!!

Thanks in advance!

Where to buy wifi antenna for Dell Inspiron 17R 5737

Hi

I was having some screen problems with my Dell Inspiron 17R  5737 laptop screen so I opened up the cover to see if the screen ribbon was loose. However as I was screwing the screen back together I accidentally  screwed through part of the WiFi antenna cable.

I have tried repairing it however the WiFi signal is now terrible., so the whole connection part needs replaced .  Where can I buy the  WiFi antenna part ? I've tried Google, ebay and amazon but it is virtually impossible to find somewhere to buy this part.

Can anyone recommend a trustworthy place that I could buy it ? Also I live in the UK so I dont want to be paying a fortune for postage and packaging from US or potentially fake goods from Asia .

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated

Thanks,

John

Dell Laptop 15-3521 Won't Power Up

0
0

I have a Dell Inspiron 15-3521 that shut down a couple of nights ago and won't restart.

I have tried taking out the battery and running just the A/C cord, but still nothing.  The thing I don't understand however is that when I initially plug the power adapter in, the LED light on the power adapter is on.  As soon as I plug the tip into the laptop, the light turns off.

I've tried numerous power cables that I have at work for similar machines, and the result is the same.  I can't tell if it's a problem with the power adapter, the battery, the motherboard, or the A/C adapter inside the laptop.  All of which can be replaced, but I'd prefer to only replace the single broken part.

I can't seem to find anyone else who's run into this specific problem, but I'm hoping to get some help & answers before I proceed. 

Thanks.


Dell XPS L502X Shutdown and won't charge.

For at least two to three years, I've had this laptop and It worked perfectly without a problem, but a month ago It fell off my couch ( a short distance) with the charged plugged in. When I picked It up nothing happened but the screen got dim and said my charger was plugged in but not charging. It eventually ran out of power and shut off and I've tried for days to look into the problem and try to figure out If something was wrong with the charger, or actual battery port but still couldn't find anything. Everytime I attempt to power It on It will turn on for about a second or two then power right off. Please try to reply with solutions, thanks.

Login Problems DELL Inspiron 15R

0
0

I have an Inspiron 15 R, 64-bit and Windows 8.1.  Recently I have been experiencing an intermittent login problem.   After turning on the laptop I input my password only to get a screen telling me "You cannot log in right now. Go to account.live.com to fix the problem or try logging in with your last used password."

The problem here is -

a. how do I go to account.live.com if I cannot log in to the laptop

b. I used the "last used password" in the first place but the 'system' is not recognizing it.

Fair enough, when this first happened I presumed that it was because I had simply mis-hit a key and therefore entered an incorrect password.  But on the second and subsequent attempts I took great care to enter the password exactly as it should be but I keep getting the same error message.  The only way I have found to get around this is to turn off the laptop and wait for a period of time before turning it back on and hoping the problem does not repeat.  

SO far this has worked but it is only a matter of time before it doesn't and I will be stuck with a laptop I cannot log in to.

Can anyone please shed some light on this or suggest ways I can fix the problem?

Thanks

I recently bought an Inspiron 13 7000 - how do I disable tap to click on the touchpad?

0

Hi all,

   I'd like to disable tap to click on the touchpad.   I've done this on most laptops I use because I find I accidentally brush against the touchpad and click something I don't intend to.  I'd rather just click the touchpad when I want to register a click.

   How do I disable tap to click?  I can't seem to find the setting in Windows 8.1.  I thought it would be under mouse, but it's not there.

   Any help is appreciated!  Thanks!

XPS 13.3 i7 4HD battery dies in 2 hours, why?

0

Hello all,

I recently purchased a Dell XPS 13.3 laptop with the I7 processor, 256 ssd harddrive and 4HD touch screen. 

I saw reviews and statements that the battery life is at least 6 hours. 

I run mine on DELL settings on the battery option with the screen brightness less than half - normal internet browsing and some excel sheets. The battery drains completely in 2 hours. How come? What can I do to optimize this and get the expected 6 hours?

Thank you very much.

Network issue

Hi.  Fist time I have joined one of these forums and do so out of frustration.  The issue I am experiencing with my Inspiron 11 series 3000 is, regardless of what wireleless network I am using after 10min it starts slowing down then completely freezes,  I am able to close explorer/firefox and reconnect after a message saying that the network is still connected and needs to be closed before proceeding. I have had little help from dells tech people. I have updated everything possible several times with and without Dells help to no avail. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Studio 17 (1747) w/Win7 Pro.

On startup, lights come on and fan starts. 3 sec. & dead. Unplug everything and remove battery. Eventually starts.

Nothing detected from MS Fix It or Dell Support Assist diags.

Still looks like power problem, but I cannot pin it down.

Ideas please!!
