Dell XPS 13 9350 severe bug and battery drainage issue !!!

0
0

Hi,

This is my second post regarding my XPS 13 9350 in one week, as it seems to be having lot of issues ! I was previously facing issue with sleep mode, it wasnt going to sleep at all. But after updating BIOS to 1.2.3, it sort of recovered from that problem.

Now, yesterday night I closed the lid with 65% battery life, expecting it to go to sleep(Set to go to sleep when lid off). In morning, when I reached the bag, I felt like the laptop was literally burning !!! It was so hot to touch, and the led light in front was giving orange/yellow in color !! When I opened the lid, the lock screen appeared, which shouldnt be the case as it should have been in hibernation,which indicates the machine was not off at all !! The battery life was indicating 7% !! From 65% to 7%, that too when was put to be off !

This are some serious concerns for a premium product like XPS 13 9350. I am expecting a proper solution to this malfunction issue of the product.

 

XPS13 Display driver stops and recovers too frequently

0
0

I have had this XPS13 for about 2 months and almost since day 1 it has occasionally shown (about 4 times a day) a brief message saying the display driver stopped and recovered. This is usually after a brief pause when I cannot select anything.

I have updated the display driver myself but nothing has changed.

Can anyone help me?

XPS 13 some apps show in micro size!

0
0

Whilst the most apps show correctly in full screen. Some apps and their associated prompts appear in a 'micro' format such that I can't read the text or even use them!

After a recent WIN10 auto update the latest 'casualty' is Yahoo Messenger which now appears, fixed in one position, but about the size of two postage stamps! I cannot move it or make it readable.

Can anyone help me

XPS13 trackpad stops accepting taps

0
0

I can use the trackpad for selecting (double clicking) and dragging. But occasionally it stops accepting double clicks especially on the right side. Though it seems I can still drag from that side!

If I double click on another part of the track pad and then try and again on the right side it is working again.

It seems it goes 'deaf' to my taps on the right side until I tap it else where

Can anyone help me

Precision M4600 not powering up

0
0

Dear Dell community,

yesterday my M4600 just went off during work, and since then I cannot power it back on.

What I have tried:

  • AC only,
  • battery only,
  • AC + battery;

In all three combinations:

  • push power button,
  • hold Fn key + push power button,
  • hold D key + push power button;

all with no positive feedback. Laptop stays off. Usually, there is a white LED on the left side, and directly after pushing the power button, the fan should do a few turns. Nothing happens.

Now I have removed the CMOS battery and re-tried the steps outlined above; again: nothing.

When AC is connected, I read 5 V at the battery connections; AC adapter works fine with other laptops.

Any further suggestions?
Thanks in advance – osti42.

Touchpad issues with windows 10

I have a Latitude 3340 that I have upgraded to windows 10 last week and as a result I have lost the one finger scrolling on the touchpad.  Also the touchpad is very erratic.  I have downloaded the latest driver and it made no difference.  Does anyone know if Dell has a fix for this yet?  I am ready to shelve this computer until a fix is found.

Color display problem

Every time I plug/unplug or close the lid on my laptop the colors/saturation change and it's becoming annoying, mainly because I do drawings and have no clue which colors are accurate. I've checked through many things (power settings, advanced power settings, Intel graphics settings) but nothing works... Using 2009 Dell Windows 7.

So i've had this laptop since the beginning of January. Not to long ago. I've noticed that my screen freezes whenever im away from my laptop for not even an hour. The only way for me to restart my laptop is by holding down the power button. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem too.

Dell N5110 overheating and shutting down when unplugged

Hello 

I have a Dell N5110, i7 which is overheating, even though I bought a separate cooler for it.

I re-installed Windows 7 on it (with license), but the battery won't last more than 30 minutes since the reinstallment, the laptop shut dows immediately after I unplugg the power source and the overheating problem still persists. 

Is there anything I can do to solve these problems? 

Thank you for your answers.

Connecting to a LAN

0

I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 running 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium that I am attempting to connect to my satellite modem. However, when I click on the Network and Sharing Center and then click on Manage Network Connections, the only option it displays is a Wireless Network Connection; no option to connect to a LAN. However, the computer does have a LAN port and when I connect the Ethernet cable from the satellite modem to the LAN port, an orange light does appear. Also, according to the owner’s manual for this computer, when setting up a satellite modem, I am supposed to choose Broadband Connection and then enter a user name and password but, technical support at Hughes.net says that there is no user name or password and instead, whenever I plug the Ethernet cable into the LAN port, it should automatically detect the settings and provide me with the option to connect to the Internet via the LAN. So, why does my computer not display an LAN connection in the Network and Sharing Center/ Manage Network Connections?
