D520 keeps switching to external screen
I have an old Latitude D520 which I have pulled out of my computer closet to give to someone in need. It booted right up :) and then reminded me why I stopped using it. The laptop monitor actually works fine but something in the boot-up switches it to "external screen only" mode (not monitor and screen), and thereby blanks out the laptop monitor. I have tried switching it back using Fn-F8. The switch works, but then it switches itself back to "external screen only" mode. Any ideas?
Thank you for any assistance. I have an extra screen that I could give them too, but it would be nice to have the thing still be portable.

Unable to reset n5050 to factory settings
Using f8, doesn't give me ability to reset. The partitions are there including recovery but Dell tools do not appear
Did use the recovery disk but problem never went away.
Problem:
After what appeared as a virus intrusion was unable to connect to email. Ran recovery hoping that that would solve problem but it did not. Tried thunderbird, others and no luck. Want to factory reset but am given no opportunity.
Bought at best but but partions are still there so????
Integrated Webcam not being detected!
Hey I have an Inspiron 5748 laptop with a built-in camera and nothing will detect it. This happened a couple months ago after i reformatted my hardrive and since then nothing will detect it(Skype, Yahoo, Any website that uses a webcam, etc) and I even tried downloading webcam central and still doesn't work. I tried going into Device Manager and it says that its working fine with no problems whatsoever. I then went to run a diagnostics test on this site and during the test, a popup window appeared with me on it from my webcam and the test said that it passed. I do however, have 2 downloads listed in my drivers and downloads(Chipset |Intel Management Engine Interface Driver & BIOS |Dell Inspiron 3442,3542,5748 System BIOS). Are any of them required? Or could it be because that i reformatted my hardrive that it will not be detected? Please Help!

How to rescale display without reboot for Dell XPS 13
I have a Dell XPS 13 display driver 20.19.15.4444 (Beta but I also had this issue with all drivers to date)
I have a scaling issue.
- If I boot my machine not connected to a monitor, all apps are scaled correctly within the laptop screen,
- Once I connect it to a Monitor, the scaling for some apps doesn't adjust.
- To resolve, if I want to work with external monitor, I need to to reboot my machine WHILE CONNECTED TO AN EXTERNAL MONITOR to ensure that the scaling of the apps correctly adjusts for the external monitor.
- Same happens if I go back to laptop screen if I unplug the external monitor ie the resolution is far too small in some apps and I have to reboot the laptop to get correct scaling back for apps in laptop screen.
I HATE THAT I HAVE TO REBOOT TO DO THIS. Is there not a way without rebooting to 'reset' scaling for a display. Below image is an example of the scaling issue. IE is scaled poorly and Firefox is properly scaled.

Battery ideas?
I've had my XPS 13 9350 for about a month now and I continue to enjoy it. Except, and this is not new, for the battery life. I have the QHD touchscreen and if I'd have known then what I know now, I'd have gone with the FHD. Touchscreen capabilities are a nicety, not a necessity for me. It is the largest culprit in the destruction of battery usage. So I keep my brightness at 30%, have updated bios and drivers, keep Win10 up to date, and... what. Are there any new ideas about how to stretch a bit more life out of the battery? It's starting to trouble me that I'm absentmindedly reaching for my Chromebook when I know I'll be off the cord. My Chromebook is amazing for what it does, but it's not the tool for most of the work I do. Thankful for any ideas.
Laptop Runs Unusually Hot (Latitude 15 5000)
My company purchased several Latitude 15 5000 machines with the Intel core 5 processors. We changed the OS to ubuntu on all laptops. 1 of the 3 laptops we purchased runs super hot.
I've ran the "top" command and compared the running processes of the 2 "good" machines with the laptop which runs hot, nothing seems to be out of the ordinary.
Any suggestions on what we can check before returning the laptop?
Thank you!
F11 and F12 keys stopped working
Greetings,
And thank you in advance for any possible feedback / help.
Recently (less than a month ago) bought a Dell Inspiron 15 / 5555 (AMD10) with Win 10 installed.
Function keys F11 and F12 (to dim / brighten screen) were working fine. Now they no longer work.
How do I fix this? I made no changes to the laptop.

firewire adapter?
I would like to connect my old video camera to my new laptop XPS15. The laptop is equipped with a USB type-C thunderbolt port to which is possible to connect a DELL adapter to ethernet/hdmi etc. Unfortunately a firewire port is not available on this adapter. Does a similar adapter exist for firewire devices? Where I can find it?
Dell Latitude 7370 Cannot Disable Dynamic Brightness Control
I recently purchased a Dell Latitude 7370 with the QHD panel. I was very surprised to find that the new 7370 line is plagued with the infamous Dynamic Brightness Control "feature" that cannot be disabled, especially when Dell is just now removing DBC from the XPS 15 and XPS 13 QHD models.
Dynamic Brightness Control is a dealbreaker, and I would not have ordered the 7370 had I known it was a supplied feature. Is there any information as to whether or not a patch is in the works to be able to update the display firmware to remove DBC in the near future? Any help or information about how to disable this will be greatly appreciated.
