Ghost touch problem

$
0
0

I have the Inspiron 13 7000 series 2-in-1 for almost a year and i also have the ghost touch issue. I called dell for the issue and they tried to see me 300 dollar software and hardware warranty. The tech i was talking to was trying very hard to convince me to get the warranty that she went to a point where it sounded like dell makes a very bad laptop and buying extended warranty is a must  hahahah. I said i still have some time before my 1 yr factory warranty expire. I like the features in this laptop I'll use it as much as i can and move to buying mac after this. Not coming back to dell again after this. 

I personally feel that this product is a factory defect and should have a recall for the product. Dell should also acknowledge the issue and fix through recall rather than trying to see warranty for the issue.

Hi, my name is Kevin and please assist my problem below:

I'm and Indonesian and I just joined with an Indian Company and be given an inventory (second hand from my superior) of Dell Latitude E5430. The OS is Win 7 Pro 32 Bit. This laptop originally came from India and i'm not sure whether they can do the repairing in here in Indonesia.

There are 2 problems with this laptop:

1. The battery life is terrible and i need to charge it everytime i want to use it. I noticed that this can be fixed just by buying a new battery and i'm sure it'll work. So no problem.

2. The laptop cannot be shut down at all. The system just run the shut down loading process no matter how long did i wait. I actually wait from night till the morning and it keeps doing the loading process. Can you please advise what should i do to this laptop? Because every time I finish my work here, i need to save my laptop to the Sleep Mode. Of course its not convenient and it's not good at all for my laptop.

Please advise. Thank you so much.

Regards, Kevin

My windows 10 OS would not load. Ive run system restore, diagnostics from safe boot, an OS repair option and now Instant Restore, none fixing the problem. Obviously something wrong with windows 10 but instant restore says it "may take several minutes but has been going for over 2 hours. Is this normal for it to take this long or has it frozen? Any other suggestions to try? The laptop is a Inspiron 3147

E6420 processor upgrade - fastest possible?

$

Hello Dell Forums,

I have a question that I hope one of you can help with ... It is which processor would be the fastest one to upgrade my Dell E6420 with? I'm considering this one:

ark.intel.com/.../Intel-Core-i7-2670QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_10-GHz

however, if possible would like a higher base frequency while retaining the No. of cores and 6 MB cache or higher. Anyone have experience with what is possible - maybe a newer generation i7 fits in and works reliably (which is mandatory)?

Also, is it possible to put in RAM that works at a higher speed than the specified speed (1333 MHz)?

Anyone have experience with this? Thanks for any insights [:)]

Dell XPS 9530 will not turn on

$

I have had a number of problems with my Dell XPS 9530 machine. It is less than a year old.

- The mouse was extremely glitchy. It would work for max 1-2 minutes when I power on the machine. After that the pointer would disappear and the only method for interaction with the machine would be through using the touch screen.

- The power button was also temper mental. Sometimes it would take numerous tries to get the machine to turn on.

Last night I decided to backup my important data (photos, music etc) and when I attempted to power on my machine it would not come on. It was totally unresponsive - no power light, no fan, no keyboard lights etc. I tried a number of times as I was aware of the problems with the power button but to no avail. I also tried plugging into a power source but I have had no luck! 

I'm a software engineer so would consider myself an experienced user. This machine is less than a year old and I have not used it for any programming or anything compute intensive since I purchased.

Please help!

 

Latitude E5450 Ubuntu install errors.

Just got my new E5450 and decided to re-install ubuntu to take advantage of full disk encryption and piece of mind that no bundled packages have been included. Install goes along fine right until the end before I get the error  “[Errno 5] Input/output error” next the installer quits and I have an unbootable disk.

Tried 

- Full dell diagnostics to eliminate hardware fault. 
- USB install 14.04
- USB install 15.10
- USB Live boot then install 14.04
- USB Live boot then install 15.10
- CD install 14.04
- CD install 15.10
- CD Live boot then install 14.04
- CD Live boot then install 15.10

Always the same error.

Hi,

Recently purchased the XPS13 9350  (6th gen intel  i5). Right from the start the  computer had an issue with a flickering screen. Sometimes it doesn't flicker, sometimes it is very bad. I have run the diagnostic tests for video card, motherboard and screen, and it all passes.    I have also opened a dell support ticket and no responses yet.  All the drivers have been upgraded to what is currently available on the dell website.

Any thoughts  would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi guys,

I recently have a very strange trouble. When I'm working with my Laptop, it randomly shuts down with no reason. I think that is a hardware issue, because when I reboot my laptop, it only shutdowns and the no power up again.

Sometimes I need to disconnect the battery connector, push ON button, and then reconnect the battery and the the system powers up normally. I tested the system through F12 but shows no errors.

Anyone with the same issue? Any help about this?

Thanks guys!
