Bug inside of the screen.

$

0

Hello,

I have a XPS 13 9333 and there is a bug inside of the screen which is annoying me a lot.

I would like to know if someone has had this problem before and what  the best solution was?

I am planning to sell this laptop and this bug will depreciate the total value of the laptop.

Below are a few screenshots with the bug. The warranty finished in January 2015, should I expand it to remove this bug? Please tell me your opinion?

Regards

Renato M.


My Dell Inspiron 13 7347 can go crazy....

$

So, sometimes my laptop will randomly "spaz out" and the right side will have an epileptic seizure. Like, it's essentially what it would look like if I were to use all 10 fingers (I know, 8 and 2 thumbs) by touching rapidly up and down the right side of my screen. It will randomly do this, closing the first tab of whatever I was working on and most of the time opening the calendar/clock and spam-flipping through the months list. I tried to record the problem but it's either too inconspicuous or it doesn't do it. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Dell XPS13 2016 Ubuntu support

Hi,

in an email today, Dell Hong Kong assured me that the new XPS13 2016 supports Ubuntu 15.04.

How can that be? The Skylake architecture will gain proper support in the near-future 4.3 kernel release. The DW1820A chipset seems to be either Qualcom or Broadcom.

I really want to buy this laptop now, but there is no documentation yet on this claim.


Can I trust this?

Battery problem

My battery will not charge past 7%. Yet according to all diagnostics and the Dell battery health meter, it is working perfectly. I have tried taking it out and replacing it, plugging the laptop into another outlet and lots of other suggestions I have read, but none of them have made any difference at all. The status remains "7% available, plugged in and charging". It will not go beyond that. I would be very grateful for any help and suggestions.

How to acquire original OS/Recovery Media?

I attempted to re-allocate some of HDD space yesterday to make room for a Windows 10 upgrade.  After re-starting I get a dos screen saying bootmgr.exe cannot be found.  I've tried F2 and F12 options to access the recovery partition to fix, but cannot access it.  I'm trying to acquire original Windows media to access the recovery options, but am not having any luck finding a download and my system didn't come with a disk.  Windows 7 Home Premium.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Chris

Dell Studio 1537 Display black but diagnosic showing up colors

Hey,

my dell studio 1537 boots with a black display. I had a display problem once before (1 year ago), and back then the inverter connection were loss.

The laptop boots (i here a lot of hdd access but i see no dell logo or something else). I also strted my laptop with PowerOn+FN but the media bar doesnt show any error codes so everything seams to be clear with video card ...

So i thought the display or display cable could be faulty. The strange thing (and thats the reason why i post something here), is that the display shows up color if i start the laptop with PowerOn+D. That shortcut opens the Display Diagnostic.

So my question is: Why does the laptop start with black screen; but with screen diagnosic the screen seems to work well?

I have Vostro 3450. My lcd screen hinging and back cover had broken. The cover will not stayed closed. Now I connect it to external monitor through VGA port and removed lcd screen and back cover. It works well. The problem is I have to reconnect lcd screen to the motherboard every time in order to boot to windows. Otherwise, it will continues beeping (8 beeps sound) and refuse to boot to the window. I know it was looking for lcd screen. My question is: how can I have computer continue to boot with only external monitor (no lcd screen)? Thanks.

Latitude E7240 with LiteOn 128G mSata SSD, device not found

$

My Latitude E7240 can't find the hard drive and won't boot.    This happened before after 6 months of use,  and the Dell cure was to upgrade the BIOS to A15 and re-install.    It has been working for the last 4 months,   and now won't boot again.

I ran diagnostics and the hard drive passed twice.    It also shows up in the BIOS.  The hard drive is a Liteon 128G SSD,  which I assume is the LMH-128V2M mSata model.

There is no firmware update listed for the Liteon.   The only way I could get it to boot is goto F12 and select the hard drive.   However,   I get the windows logo and it sits there forever.    I'm running Windows repair mode,  but it has been going for 4 hours and looks like nothing is happening,  even though the storage light is constantly flashing.

Any ideas on what else I could try?

Inspiron 11 3147 KEYBOARD problem

$

I have a XPS 3000 11 2 in 1 for about 2 months. Upgraded it to W10 on my 1st week.

I am facing some temporary fails on ALL KEYS ON THE LEFT SIDE of the keyboard: 1qaz, ` tab capslock, shift, fn an ctrl. Windows key also. From keys 2wsx on, including these, everything works fine.

So, not sure if it is a HW or a SW problem. It seems SW... Fail is temporary, and sometimes related to a boot session. I mean, it starts at windows lock screen... after insisting for a while, I can type the affected letter and after I sign in, it seems the keys and the hole left side come back to life, although it sometimes fail even when logged. Now I am typing normally with no fails.

Any ideia?

Thks in advance, Alex.
