Slow external drive on TB3/USB3.1 port - XPS 15 9550

$

Hello,


i am using an external ssd on my 9550 connected to the TB3 USB-C port with less than 40MB/s throughput. The same case and ssd performs normally on the other USB 3.0 ports with +300MB/s.

Do i have to install a specific driver for the TB-port to use its full potential as USB3.1 port?


cheers,

Andreas

Venue 11 Pro 7130, printer offline

I have a Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130, connected to an HP Deskjet 1050. Suddenly, the printer is listed as 'offline' and I can't change it, even if disconnecting and reconnecting the printer, turning printer on/off, and so on. The Dell does not recognize the printer as connected, so I can not even reinstall the printer driver. It is definitely the Dell Venue that is the issue, as I can print if I connect the printer to another computer via the same USB cable. The only change in the Dell Venue that I can think of is a recent BIOS upgrade.

XPS 12 2in1 USB 3 dock Video disappears periodically

$

This XPS (DELL XPS 12 2 in 1 Ultra touch) was recently upgraded to Windows 10 (from 8). After that I purchased a USB 3 Docking Station (HDMI and DVI, few USB ports) that uses the DisplayLink drivers. I have connected two identical ViewSonic monitors one using HDMI and the other DVI.

Upon first boot both display fine. after few minutes (sometime immediately) the two monitors go blank while the other USB devices continue to operate normally. The display might comeback but in not all the cases. I disconnect the power to the USB docking station and reconnect for the monitors to display anything.  This happens all day. Sometimes it gets stable.

For testing, I have connected another Laptop Vostro V131 to the docking station today. The displays are functioning 100% with no hiccups.

Any help?

SOLVED - Overheating issue

$
0
0

Dell Latitude 6410 here, my sister's laptop.  Was overheating and shutting down, so I purchased a new fan assembly from eBay.

Swapped the fan assembly and had the same issue - system shuts off within a few minutes.

Removed the assembly and cleaned all the old dried up thermal paste on both the CPU (left side) and the GPU (middle area) and replaced it with new Arctic Silver paste.  This helped and the laptop would continue running now for about 15 minutes before overheating and shutting down again.

However, when replacing the assembly I noticed how the middle GPU heatsink seemed rather high.  Was able to verify it wasn't seating well by reviewing the new thermal paste mark and also by being able to push further down on the middle area after the assembly was already screwed down.

This is an issue of poor engineering.  The GPU is overheating because the middle heatsink isn't pressing down hard enough on it to transfer its heat.

The solution I came up with was to use a long nail and anchor it under the plastic area above and to the left of the GPU, go over the GPU heatsink assembly and then bend it down, forcing the heatsink down on the GPU hard and then finally replacing the bottom cover of the laptop to keep the nail in place.

Although you may be able to come up with a more elegant solution, this worked for me and the laptop runs perfectly now with no more overheating issues or CPU stepdowns or noisy fan. 

Revision to above solution

My above solution works with the Dell E6410.  I just verified that the E6400 isn't the same design layout, although quite similar.

On the 6420, the fan assembly with dual heatsinks is straight and not U-shaped, so the middle area heatsink stands over the GPU and can be forced down on it.  I don't know if there is a similar issue with the E6400.

Adding 2nd M.2 SSD to Precision 7510

I just purchased a Precision 7510 laptop.  I ordered it with the following primary drive and no secondary drive:

  • 400-AILW 256GB M.2 PCIe High Performance Solid State Drive, MPWS

I'd like to add a second M.2 NVMe drive (perhaps a Samsung 950 Pro) in the 2.5" drive slot.  When ordering the laptop, it was an option to get a high performance M.2 NVMe drive with "Interposer". Does anybody know the part number for this "Interposer"? Are there any other parts that I'll need to make this work?

Thanks!

Can the standard 1366x768 LCD Panel on an E7450 Latitude be replaced with the FHD 1080 Panel (non-touch)?

 Hello,

I have an e7450 Latitude with the standard HD LCD panel -

P27PR     14.0inch Non-Touch HD (1366x768) Anti-Glare WLED LCD

Can this be replaced with the FHD 1920x1080 panel? ( I think it would be the AUO B140HAN)

Or is there a difference in the cable or other hardware in the laptop itself which would prevent the higher resolution panel from working?

Thanks!

I have a 250Gb mSATA drive in the WLAN connector inside my Precision M4700.

I want to move it to the new Precision 7510. The M4700 manual explicitly allows an mSATA drive in the WLAN connector, but there is no mention of this in the 7510 manual.

Can I insert an mSATA drive inside the Precision 7510?
