Inspiron 11 3000 3147 Problems

Couple of problems with my Inspiron 11

1) Space key non responsive, have to tap key with extra force to apply space to my documents, This happened straight out of the box

2) While working on computer it will runaway i.e. starbursts occur in upper right corner of the screen i.e. sometimes screen will switch to other screens, when I try to go to "restart" to reboot I can take the cursor to the spot to restart but will default to the upper right corner of the screen making it difficult to control cursor to do anything on the screen. Cursor issue happens when using touch pad and external mouse.

Any suggestion out there for solution?

Where does one take their Dell for warranty repair in Ontario?

Thanks

Latitude E6410 Hard Drive Replacement

$

0

I am getting a "critical hard drive failure" alert when running diagnostics on my Latitude E6410 laptop, so I purchased a new hard drive via the Dell website.  The site shows that the drive I purchased is compatible with my computer but when I attempt to install it using the disks that came with my computer, I keep getting errors and the installation cannot be completed.

The hard drive on this computer has had problems in the past, and I did successfully reinstall everything using these disks in the past.  I'm not sure why they are not working with the new hard drive.

The new drive is Dell 7200 RPM FIPS Self Encrypting Serial ATA 3 Hard Drive - 500 GB.

Any suggestions as to why this is happening and what I need to do to successfully install the new hard drive?

No warranty on swap XPS 13. It should be under ProSupport NDB until 15//5/17

The service tag is <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>. This is an XPS 13 9350 swap to replace a faulty XPS 13 9333 service tag <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>. I have a hardware issue. A cluster of three stuck green pixels right in the centre. I have been trying for SEVEN WEEKS to get DellCares on Twitter to register my new XPS 13 as under warranty. They have said that they have passed it onto the relevant team at least 5 or 6 times. But nothing has happened. I need a replacement screen. If I  call ProSupport I get sent to the out of warranty department because the warranty hasn't been applied to this service tag/PC.

I have a copy of all the messages sent between the DellCares account and myself. In case a Dell manager wants to see how their business fails to assist customers with simple issues. This is a Kafkaesque nightmare. 

Has anybody tried my suggestion?

Has anybody tried my suggestion?

Mine had stopped working for many months. I bought a brand new battery and still did not work until one day as I was shutting down the computer down, my friend pulled the plug out of the mains socket and it started running off the battery. Try this on yours and it might work. I had this problem over two years ago and has not come back since.

Dell Precision 7510 - ASSORTED PROBLEMS

$
0
0

I paid a small fortune for the Precision 7510 and assorted peripherals, and considering how new the model and all it's constituent parts are, I did not expect a "flawless" product. I expected bugs from time to time, and updates to fix them. I made allowances for that.

HOWEVER: some things are not clear, I can't find any solutions for it... and my Dell warranty (despite me paying for the full package), doesn't really cover software faults like this. The "Dell Diagnostics" are incapable of producing results for any of the problems I've had, and windows troublshooting is useless too. 

Firstly: where precisely is the best place to report "bugs"? I'd expect a "bug report" section somewhere or other, to streamline feedback on the performance of any new laptop like the Precision 7510 or 7710. I can't find such a place, so I'm doing it here.


Secondly: the bugs I have been encountering:

1. I get 30mbps wireless internet on my laptop, but when I plug it into my docking station (E Port Advanced Plus)... this drops to 2mbps or less. I do not have a network cable plugged into the docking station. This is all wireless, yet when I insert the laptop into the dock... the speed drops.

2. I have not generally had other problems connecting to wireless networks at home or in public places. I've not tried connecting at work. But when I tried connecting at university... it will connect to the network after I successfuly log in... but will not load any pages. I spoke with the university IT department, and they did what they could to help, which wasn't much. The theory so far is that the Precision's 7510 network adapters or drivers "can't compute" WPA-2 enterprise security. I know very little about these sorts of things though.

3. The Nvidia Quadro M2000M driver appears to crash. What happens, is video playback slows by about 10 times, and there is no sound. Usually putting the laptop into "hybernate", and switching it back on, fixes the problem... which to me lends the impression that it is a faulty driver problem. This affects online videos, as well as ones played from the hard disk through windows media player, VLC, quicktime, etc. Also... putting the laptop into "hybernate" and restarting it that way... seems to fix the wireless problem I described in point 1.

4. The operating system/software has trouble recognising certain peripherals plugged into the docking station. Sometimes it really takes it's time to connect to my external monitor (via DisplayPort). Speakers plugged into the docking station, just don't work, and often plugging them directly into the laptop itself will "confuse" it when I dock it at the same time. I've not tested this much though. USB devices generally work fine so far... but I haven't tested these either much. I know my mouse and external DVD writer work fine. My printer and scanner haven't worked for months (different problem).

5. Occasional blue screen errors (two or three times). I took photos of these. The problem is not repetitive, and happens rarely... so I've somewhat ignored it. Everything described above though, is persistent.

6. Sometimes, external hard drives plugged in to the USB ports of the laptop, will be recognised, but won't show in "My Computer". I've found a way to fix that, by going into "Start", then right-clicking "Computer", then left clicking on "Manage", selecting "Disk Management"... and manually allocating a drive letter for the external hard drive. I have no idea if this is a problem specific to the Precision 7510, although I have never had this problem on any other computer.

7. On two occasions, removing the laptop from the dock at the same time as closing the lid, would "freeze" it somehow, with a black screen, and both fans working at full speed. I fixed the problem by taking the battery out, because the power button wouldn't respond. After re-inserting the battery, the laptop just started up from "hybernate" normally without any problems.

Wake on Lan on a Precision M3800

Hi,
I have a Dell Precision M3800 mobile workstation. Mostly I use it with 2 external displays, keyboard and mouse attached to a D3100 docking station. During an average working day the lid remains closed except in the morning when I need to open it just to push the power button.
Do you have any solution to start up the system without opening the lid? Does the BIOS support Wake On Lan feature? I am not interested in any solutions connected to sleep/hibernate modes I prefer to fully switch off the computer in the evening.

New Latitude 14 3000 Series - CPU question

$

Hi,

I've question about correctness of the information provided on dell page in relation to the CPU type installed in new Latitude laptops.

According to the page the CPU is "Intel i3-6100" which I think might not be fully correct as this CPU is not mobile type of processor, I think the correct information would be "Intel i3-6100U" (letter "U" at the end of the processor name) please see bellow link:


Also same issue applies to another new Latitude laptop, the page says "Intel i5-6200" but there is even no such processor, I think the correct information should be "Intel i5-6200U" (also here letter "U" at the end of the processor name), please see details bellow:

Regards,

Adam.

Inspiron 7437 laptop - boot issue

Following a hard drive failure, I installed a Samsung SSD.  On starting or re-starting the laptop now goes from Dell screen to "no bootable device" message. The laptop then only boots after I

hit F2 (set-up)

hit F10 (save settings and exit)

confirm Y

then laptop boots as normal

next re-start same thing - need to hit F2 etc. ..

Note that I do not make any changes after hitting F2.  I just go straight to F10.  Have tried F9 - restore default settings - made no difference.

Secure boot is enabled.

Laptop is running Windows 10

Grateful for any help or suggestions to fix this
