keyboard hard disk problem (Dell inspiron 7502 SE)

I bought this laptop few months ago (still under replacement warranty) and facing some problems with the hard disc and keyboard

about keyboard

the base of the keyboard seems weak i.e. when I press a key the base slightly goes down too with the key and also the left ctrl key seems broken

when I was using the backlight I saw the reflection of left ctrl on the screen and I was shocked to see the broken key (light outlet was seen more)

what to do...please help me dell

about hard disc

whenever I boot windows either the hard disc or the disc dive (not completely sure though) makes a click noise (like a small metal rod hitting to another metal with small intensity)

 

the laptop is perfect which is the reason I am skeptical about almost everything

Why the long delay?

Ordered an Inspiron laptop on June 6th and received my second email saying the order is delayed! I'm so frustrated by this. What's the reason? Customer service can't give you any information, only that it's delayed. Really?

I have always ordered from Dell, recommend all my friends and family to order from Dell but now I'm reconsidering. Looks like it's time to cancel the order and go with a different company. Oh Dell, how you let me down! Crying

Studio 1555 trouble booting

$

About a two weeks ago my Dell Studio 1555 started having trouble turning on. Sometimes it would start the first time i pushed the power button and other times it took multiple tries. If i couldn't get it to boot i took out the battery unplugged the computer and put the battery and power cord back in and it would work after a few tries. I ran diagnostics on the computer and found out i had a bad hard drive so i replaced the hard drive but i am still getting the same problem. Could it be a bad motherboard? i am fairly unexperienced with working on computers and don't have a clue what it could be. Thank you, John

XPS 15 fan

Is it possible to get my Dell XPS 15 - L521X (with 512 GB SSD) to run cold, such that there is no need for the fan? I believe I need to reduce the CPU usage, since it is only a problem when the CPU usage is high. I have already put it to power saving mode, but that is not enough. I think I need to adjust the power saver settings or else maybe it is impossible. I was hoping that with no moving parts, I could get a totally quiet computer. I don't mind my computer's CPU performance being sacrificed in the name of quietness.

 

Thanks.  Paul.

HELP!! Laptop will not boot!! HELP!!

Hello Chaps,

3-4 days ago I was on my laptop, it was working fine, I left it on the side to grab some lunch and came back to it and it had turned itself off. The laptop had become overheated (which has happened in the past but not for a while). I went to turn it back on but the only light that appears is the power on (the first of the three lights at the bottom left of the laptop itself). Nothing else happens, the fan heats up a little, not too much and the screen stays blank. There are no beeps or anything like that.

What I have done to troubleshoot the issue (I AM NOT A TECHY - wish i was!)

  • Connect HDMI cable to TV to make sure it is not a laptop issue but my TV cant pick up a signal - this makes me think its a 'boot' issue.
  • Take battery out plug in power hold power of button put battery back in - i have tried a few combinations here but nothing has worke

It terms of the tech spec its a dell insprion 1564, 3 years old (ex warranty) core i-5 processor, 4gb ram, 500gb hard drive, windows 7 64 bit OS, no hardware modifications from initial purchase.

I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do - i have a hunch it maybe a faulty motherboard, but as i say i am no techy. Other thoughts could be the overheating could have melted something - it was hot but not that hot - as I say i am no techy and at a real loss here so any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

XPS !2 (Haswell) Wont Wake From Sleep

I just bought the latest Dell XPS 12 (Haswell) and really love it. The only problem I'm having is that when I leave it in sleep mode for more than 2 hours, it wont wake from sleep: the keyboard illuminates but the screen remains black. Pressing any key will not turn on the screen. I am forced to hold the power button until the keyboard lights turn off and then turn the laptop on as usual. I'm afraid that this will wear out the power button slider. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

 Unfortunately, I just realised that I lost the cd of windows (windows 7 Home premium) of my laptop (INSPIRON Q15R). The problem is that I bought this laptop 2 years ago in Greece but now I am in Germany, so I do not know in which regional office I need to refer to in order to replace my lost cd (I hope that this is possible).  I have all the necessary documents ( receipt etc.). Thank you in advance for your time.

Studio 1537 Will not power on. All 3 volume buttons blink in unison

$

Laptop will not power on. Studio 1537. Will not even load LCD diagnostic or the pre boot self assessment or bios. Removed and replaced ram when the laptop wouldn't start. Found the monitor cable loose and when I replaced that and tried to boot that's when the lights started. Other places I have looked for information said that with all three volume lights blinking in unison it means a motherboard component is faulty. The fix is replacing the motherboard. Isn't that like replacing your car because you don't know which tire has a flat? Would replacing the LCD screen fix it or is it definitely the motherboard. I just wanted to get clarification before I ventured out to attempting the replace anything.
