Battery 44-48% not charging even though AC is plugged in

$
0
0

Hi, I found a lot of answers on the topic but unfortunately none resolved it. So it's simple - the charger is not charging beyond 44% and recently it increased to 48%, and it says "not charging". Battery health is good, I updated the bios, reinstalled both battery drivers multiple times in multiple ways. I am using windows 10, desktop and longevity options for battery are disabled. Only thing I didn't try yet is turning off computer, battery out for 2-3h, etc. due to not having clear steps on how to perform it + would like to know if it's needed.

Appreciate the help! Thanks

USB ports and touch screen problems

$

When I turned my Inspiron 11 3168 on today, the touch screen and the two USB ports (USB 2.0) on the right side weren't working. Multiple resets did nothing. when i ran the diagnostics tool on dell's support page, it showed that my mouse and USB key were plugged in to the two USB ports on the right. However, neither devices would actually work unless they were plugged into the left USB port (USB 3.0). i tried a couple different mice and USB keys and encountered the same problem. Also, since the touch screen didn't work, i was forced to fail the tests in the diagnostics tool.

Thanks, N


Battery Issues?

I'm not entirely sure what is wrong, but I plug my computer in and at first its fine. then if i move it the least little bit, my computer stops charging, and then sometimes I have to hold the charger in place it make it charge, or else it just stops. Even when the charger is in the computer sometimes it won't charge. I got it in December of 2015, so im kind of upset that something is already bad. I don't know if its a short in the charger, or if the plug in on the computer is not making good contact with the charger. But something is wrong, has anyone else had these kinds of issues.

m7510 primary SSD RAID to AHCI

Hello!

I have rather fresh m7510 with two SSD's. Primary, where OS was installed is on the factory, came with the system, another 850 EVO was added later. I have installed Samsung Magician to look at my drives. It does recognize the latter, but tell it does not perform optimum because AHCI mode is disabled in BIOS. Yes, I have tried change to 0 the Start value for msahci, iastorv, atapi, no luck.

So question #1, what is right way to get AHCI in this system. OS is Windows 7 64-bit.

The second question is that most of software recognized that primary drive as

MP59 1VNeMS MAUSGN2 65BG

while Intel RST tells it is

PM951 NVMe SAMSUNG 256GB

So I am curious about those character scrambling and interested, how to get it under Samsung Magician control.

Thanks in advance

Dell Inspiron 11 won't boot

$

Hello

I am trying to determine fix a Dell Inspiron 11 (3147) that had a heavy object dropped on it.

It originally came to me with a cracked digitizer. I attempted to turn on the laptop to determine if the LCD was damaged as well but the laptop will not boot.

I do not see any Dell logo, and am unable to access the BIOS. The power LED will turn on, you can hear the hard drive begin to spin, and then a click (from the HDD). I have removed all external media (SD card, USB, etc) and eventually the internal HDD itself.

With all of these removed, I am still unable to get to the BIOS or see any DELL logo on the display.

This is beginning to seem like a possible motherboard issue to me, but I was wondering if anyone else had suggestions on some debugging steps to verify that is/is not the case. I'm a bit stumped because I can't even get to the BIOS, so I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks

I turn it back on, it starts giving me the 7 beep code, I looked it up and it was a CPU Cache test failure. Is there any way I can fix this?

I left it plugged in for half an hour and it just gets hot, but doesn't turn on or anything. Should I risk changing the keyboard? Or did is it something else?
