My USBs ports don't work properly with Windows 10

0
0

Hi,

My PC is: XPS 15 9530

Actually, after the Windows 10 upgrade, and especially when I try to connect any of my phone's to it, in any port, USB 2.0 or USB 3.0, the phone keeps appearing and disappearing, and giving that sound of when you insert a usb, then the sound of ejecting it, and keeps doing that....

I have uninstalled the usb drivers and install again, and it didn't work, 

I really need to connect my Samsung phone's to my PC to transfer things asap,

Thanks,


Keyboard and other programs randomly not working

0
0

Hello everyone

I have a dell xps l702x laptop and since 10 days I have an annoying reoccuring problem with my laptop. when I boot my computer my keyboard is not responding when I try to type a word or letter, often is typing automatically some random letters like (bnbnbbbbbb22 always the same letters in fact)

At the same time, my speakers often go crazy and go from mute to unmute and also weblinks open in a new tab (which it normally not does). Strangely enough after some time, this depends from 10minutes to sometime more than 1hour, the problems solves and everything works back normally.

On some days I can work for hours on my laptop without these problems reoccuring, on other days these problems reoccur during the day. I have scanned my laptop on virus and malware, I have tried system restore, but without any success. Two times I have boot my laptop in safe mode, with the problem also occuring one time in safe mode...

anyone know a solution to solve this annoying problem?

Inspiron 14R won't start

0

Hello: I hope someone can help me resolve this.

My laptop was working fine and I decided to increase my Memory from 4MB to 8MB, I removed the battery and opened the case. I added the additional 4MB, replaced the battery and tried to start the laptop.  The power light (far left) came on for a few seconds and then turned off. I removed the battery and tried with just the power supply and the behavior was the same.

I then removed the added memory and tried the same steps as above and the results were the same. I tried removing and re-seating the original 4MB card. Same problem exists.

I welcome any suggestions I can try before bringing to a repair shop. The laptop has been working fine since I bought a few years ago . I recently upgraded it to Windows 10 with no problems.

Thanks,

Frank

Is the LCD backlight supposed to go off when the lid is closed?

If it is, what would cause it not to go off?

Dell Inspiron N7110 not powering on.

My computer was working fine yesterday and it won't turn on today.

Here is what's going on:

-Doesn't respond if I try to turn it on with only the AC cord (no battery). Nothing happens.

- With the battery and no AC cord it briefly turns on, goes through the lights, and turns off after about two seconds. Same thing with both the AC and the battery connected.

- I have tried to remove the static by pressing the power button while the battery is removed but still not powering on.

-I know the battery is bad because it only last for about 20 minutes. But does this matter? Shouldn't the computer turn on with just the AC and no battery?

Thanks for the help!

XPS 13 9343 - Track pad randomly turns off

0
0

Hi guys I bought the 9343 in august and ever since i opened it, the track pad has issues. The most notable one is that it randomly turns off and I can't move the cursor at all (works if mouse is plugged in). I love the laptop so far but this issue has been incredibly annoying. I can temporarily fix it by a complete reboot, but it also sometimes fixes itself if I leave the laptop running for awhile which has me really confused

I installed the latest track pad drivers and flashed the track pad firmware update but it hasn't helped at all.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Touchpad gesture not available/working (synaptics)

0

When I bought this laptop in 2010. My touchpad has this gesture enable where you could use two finger to scroll down. After I reformatted my laptop. The driver for the touchpad on the site is not available. So since I remembered the name (synaptics), I proceed to their website to download the driver. After downloading it. The gestures are still not working. It says installed but nowhere to be found in my computer. My other laptop are able to detect the software but not on this laptop. Browsing has been painfully slow. Having to move the cursor to the side to scroll down. Additional note : the button to disable the touchpad is not working too but other function button is working... What should I do?

XPS 13 crackling sound

0
0

Hello,

On my fairly new XPS 13 2015, I hear a faint but near constant high pitched crackling noise, especially while using it (launching apps etc.) This is noticable when the fan is off, and particularly on my Windows 10 install, altough one can still hear it under Ubuntu. It seems that putting my fingers on the touchpad can increase the noise.

Is someone else experiencing this? Should I contact the support about it? Thanks.

Computer will not turn off Dell Inspiron

I have had my laptop for about one year and installed windows 10 a few months ago.  My computer will not shut down anymore as of 2 weeks ago.  When I shut down from the start menu the screen shows that it is shutting down and then about 10 seconds later it automatically goes back to my password page.  Even if I shut it down with the power button, the next day as soon as I lift the screen, the computer is on.

Laptop was working fine until the next day. Upon starting it up there was a black screen and it would beep 8 times and repeat after a few seconds.Laptop is around 4-5 years old.

Attempted:

Releasing flea power for 2 mins

Holding the D+power button

Connecting external monitor

Connecting it to the tv via hdmi

Taking computer apart and putting it back together

And even when I hold a bright light against the screen nothing shows when its powered on.

Can anyone please help? I know I probably can't save the computer but I need some way to get my important files off of it. :(
