I am working on a friend's Dell Latitude E6410. We are trying to refurbish it for her to give to her 9 year old daughter for Christmas. The plan is to first install Win 7, and then make an image, and then try to upgrade to Win 10.

[XPS 15 9550]Flashing horizontal lines on screen
XPS 15 9550 Microsoft Signature edition, 4K resolution
First one - Grabbed the i5 version of XPS 15 9550 last weekend from our local MS store. When booting it for the first time, I started to see flashing horizontal lines popping up like crazy during both BIOS booting time and after booted into Windows. Returned it immediately and exchanged for a new one.
Second one - It worked well in the past 2 days, however, after some 3 hours of using last night, I noticed some flashing horizontal lines again!!!
Do you guys know any similar issues in this family of device in the past?
I really love this machine, it could have been the perfect laptop if without these issues. I personally have never had this kind of experiences in buying a computer, hitting same issues with two new machines.
I'd like to give it some last shot before I returning this one again...
Dell Inspiron 5748 - can't turn on and off
Hello, everyone!
When I turn off my laptop it takes really to much time, up to 10 minutes from the moment the display is off till everything inside the laptop becomes silent. It doesn't happen always but very often. Each time after it happens I can't turn on the laptop. In order to turn it over I have to keep the on/off button pressed for about 10 seconds and then press it again.
What do you think is wrong and how I can fix it?
Battery Test for Latitude E6410
I "think" I need to purchase a new battery, but after reading several Posts, I'm not sure that is my only problem.
I don't want to spend the money on a battery (off of the web) and not fix my problem. So, I would like a "TEST" for the existing battery and suggested steps I can take to insure myself that when I spend my money on a battery it will solve my problem.
Is 128 GB SSD large enough
Hi,
I'm considering purchasing an Inspiron 15 3000 laptop with 128GB SSD. I want an SSD for the speed and battery life. Apparently Dell doesn't offer a 256GB configuration.
Is the 128 GB size with Windows 10 large enough for most people? My current laptop is Windows 8 and has about 200GB stored, but I think I have a lot of files I can delete or move to the cloud.
Thanks,
Allan

XPS 13 (9350) 1.0.4 BIOS Fail
I tried loading the updated BIOS version and upon restart, it appears the update failed so it tried to downgrade according to what was displayed. This failed with a blue screen into Windows. After that, it somehow downgraded back to 1.0.0.
Is the 1.0.4 BIOS faulty or is my laptop having issues with trying to perform the update? If so, is there any way to fix this as I would like to update due to the improvements it mentions for NVMe.
Thanks for any help!
AC Adapter Error on Inspiron N5110
Without any warning, when I plugged in my Inspiron N5110, it told me that my AC adapter (which is the original Dell item) was not recognized, and would not charge the battery. I upgraded the BIOS from A03 to A11, but with no change in status. I plugged in my Targus 90W adapter (used proper cable tip) and I got the same error. Is there any software fix, or is this a plug/socket or motherboard issue? The battery tests fine using SupportAssist.

Battery is 'Plugged In, Not Charging'
Hello, I have an Alienware M14x r2 Dell laptop. I seem to be having some charging problems. It is plugged in and says that it has '6% available (plugged in, not charging)'. This seems to only have started in the past few days and I am unsure of how to proceed.
I am currently going to college and can't have my laptop going down for the count right before finals.
Anybody got any tips or suggestions or ways that I can isolate the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hardware Damage
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCEPTABLE!
I was speaking to a customer care person regarding an issue i was facing with my laptop.Instead of explaining about the procedure to handle it, a complete disregard for the issue was shown and the chat session was ended abruptly without any questions being answered.This isn't the kind of service A loyal customer needs to receive. I have a transcript of the chat and i would like to get in touch with an authority as soon as I can about this issue.
SO, I had called earlier also regarding a cracking noise happening near my right hinge.At that time i was asked to a run a diagnostics test to check if everything was ok. But now the cracking is persistent and a crack is developing on the edge.There has been no damage from my end.A similar issue is being faced by a friend of mine.The plastic case on the right end is cracking and every time I open or shut the lid, The noise happens.
I need to talk to a person as soon as I can about this issue.(Please visit the site to view this file)
E7440 SD card reader no longer working after W10 update of 12 november
Since the latest update of Windows 10 that came out the 12th of November the SD card reader in my Dell E7440 is no longer working. I already tried different drivers but when I look into the details it shows the following:
Device PCI\VEN_1217&DEV_8520&SUBSYS_05CB1028&REV_01\4&32c44212&0&00E4 had a problem starting.
Driver Name: oem4.inf
Class Guid: {4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Service: O2FJ2RDR
Lower Filters:
Upper Filters:
Problem: 0x15
Problem Status: 0x0
It simply doesn't show the SD card and even when I remove all drivers, reboot and install it again it doesn't work. Is this a known issue? Is there a solution already? Windows 10 was working fine in combination with the SD card reader until this update.
