Latitude E6420 - won't boot, "missing operating system" error

0

I am sure the hard drive has crashed and I would like to install a new one but I don't have the disks to install and I can't seem to get the any sort of recovery partition on the crashed hard drive. 

Any suggestions or places I can down load an iso of the original disks? I think it was originally Win8 on the computer but it is my son's so I am not certain.

There is no service tag or other identifier on the computer so I'm having a little trouble identifying what I need exactly. 

Dell studio 1535 display not coming while laptop is getting switched on

Hello everyone,Hopefully some one will help me out to resolve my issue.

My studio 1535 display is not coming when i am switching it on. Only three led(volume up,mute,volume down) at keyboards are blinking and i could not see anything.

I tried it again by discharging the static energy but unfortunately the result is same.

I have also tried the LCD BIST test by pressing D while switching on my laptop.

Result of the test was, i could see the different color flashing one by one and then it restarted.

I have also tried complete diagnosis test by pressing fn key while switching it on.

During this test only same type of beep sound was repeating in an interval of 30 secs or so as i could not see anything on screen,so i am not aware of the reason.At last after 5 minutes, i forcefully switched off the laptop by pressing the power button and holding to 10-20 sec.

Pls help me out to resolve the issue.

Also, i would like to know few things:-

I am from India but last month only i have moved to Japan.

My warranty got expired can i contact dell customer care here for the repair?

If yes, can anyone provide me the contact number, email id for the same.

Thank you in a advance for any tips or solution.

I have the above computer running the latest Windows 10 release. Sometimes when I open This PC and right click on Music or Documents, the computer freezes. I solve this problem by doing a system restore. My question is "Are there any other steps to take besides doing system restore?" Thanks.

XPS 1702 recovery to windows 7 from windows 10

0
0

I had 'upgraded' to windows 10 a little while ago, it seemed ok. Switched on the other day and various errors occurred in the event log, none of which I could find any info about.

So I thought I would restore it back to windows 7

Reboot, F8, goes to the windows 10 version of recovery, but tells me there is no recovery available...

I checked in disk management, the partition is still there,

Anyone have any idea if there's a way to resolve this?

To cap it all, the dvd drive decides it wont read a disk as well... hardly ever used it! thought maybe I could use a windows 7 pro dvd I have to flatten it.. but not to be.

Cheers

XPS 9550 duel monitor issues, please help. Thank you so much!!

Dear friends,

I just bought xps 9550. 1080p screen, i7 6gen, 960m, 8Gb. 2nd monitor is 28 inch samsung 4k. 
everything looks fine if I only use the original screen.
However, once I use the plugin the 2nd monitor, some issues pop out, please help me here. thank you so much.

1. If I do gaming on 2nd monitor(not using 4k, just still 1080p), the game is noticeable lag than original one, I already update the driver, and even uninstalled the geforce experience, the problem is still here. Gaming on 2nd monitor is laggy! 

2. Someone I want to play game on 2nd monitor, and watch youtube on 1st monitor(the monitor of laptop), it won't work. What happen is that the all windows on 1st monitor will be minimized. I tried to re open them, but they all minimize again right after I go back to game. 

3. There are sometimes, the 2nd monitor will not wake up after I wake up the laptop. The 1st screen is fine, laptop is working. I have to unplug it and plug in again to solve the problem.

Dear friends, I hope I described my issues clear enough. thank you so much for your help. I will reply here very often.

I opened the bottom of my PC and that was it. My wireless connectivity was gone, I can't even see the wireless Card on my PC again, the BIOS is not even recognizing the hardware. Please anyone there with a similar problem or a solution? I will really appreciate a solution, am living in Nigeria and getting a Dell technician here will be more difficult if not impossible. Thank you in advance.

Can I no longer truly customize a laptop before purchasing?

0
0

I've purchased quite a few laptops over the years from Dell, and one reason is I've always been able to customize the laptop to pretty much exactly what I want/need, in terms of memory, CPU, GPU, storage options, etc. I need to purchase a new laptop for my video editing, and was going to purchase an XPS 15.

However, it appears I have no option on the graphic card, very limited options on memory and combinations of HDD/SSD, etc. Is that just the way Dell sells these days? If so, I'll be forced to purchase from someone else who can deliver exactly what I need. Some things, like memory, I can easily upgrade (if they leave a couple of empty slots, otherwise I'll be paying for memory I'm replacing) but, for example, the graphic card is not one of those.

Inspiron 15Z 5523 RAM Beep Code after shutdown. Will very occasionally boot; it restarts fine.

0
0

My laptop, Dell Inspiron 15Z 5523 is going on 2.5-3 years old.  I hear two short beeps at boot (RAM Error).  All the parts are stock and there haven't been any major software changes before the issue started.

I have 2 sticks of stock RAM, 2GB and 4GB, I have tried all 6 possible configurations of the RAM with no success. I have made sure all the contacts are clear and the RAM sticks are securely in place.

I can, however, get the computer to boot normally very occasionally after multiple trial-and-erroring by moving the RAM sticks about.  It usually takes 10 minutes of reseating the RAM and even then I have to be very lucky for it to boot.  

Once running, it can restart perfectly but not shut down or lose power without the beep code returning.  The full 6GB RAM is shown in working order and I ran a memtest with 0 errors.  This leads me to believe it is not the RAM as I have tried both sticks individually and they work perfectly once running.  I have kept the laptop running for multiple days plugged in without issue although this is obviously not practical.

Any ideas?  I am starting to believe it's the motherboard which would be a huge let down as the laptop isn't that old yet.  I'd be willing to buy new RAM if it still sounds like an issue with the sticks themselves but from the symptoms I have my doubts about that.

I am running Windows 10 (since launch without issues).

Thank you!
