Hello,
So recently, I've been having some issues with Google Chrome on my Windows 10. It just doesn't load up so I had decided to uninstall it via control panel and then reinstall it.
Every time I attempt to install it now; it just gives me the downloading box without any updates for several hours and doesn't download.
So I'm not exactly sure on what to do now.
I tried to install 2 new RAM modules, but keep getting stuck in the restart loop. The new RAM is Kingston HyperX Impact 8GB kit (2 x 4GB modules) HX316LS9IBK2/8. I have upgraded BIOS to A16, but still not working.
From a reply by ejn63 I found out that I CAN charge my new Inspiron 13 7000 via the USB-C port, which happens to be a USB 3.0 connector (ejn63 said 'Yes, the USB-C can be used to charge the system.').
So before I burn the motherboard of the new laptop I have the following questions:
Question 1: Can I charge the laptop's battery connecting a standard USB charger for mobile phones (240V to 5V, 2A) via a USB Type A to USB Type C cable?
Question 2: Can I charge the laptop's battery connecting the same cable to a power bank 10,000 mAh, 5V 2A
Hello,
I see permanent high cpu load caused by 'interrupts' - about 20%. This is Windows 7. Deactivating the I217 NIC reduces that load to about 3%. Driver version is 12.12.50.7205.
What would you recommend to do?
Thanks, Jeff

Hello,
The laptop works normally using battery , but neither the adapter nor the docking station is able to charge the battery.
I removed the battery and tried to power on using the adapter or the docking station, but it doesn't work.
Switching between Fn + F2 and Fn + F3 had no effect
I did the procedure of draining the static charge and also no difference.
One final observation, is when i press the power button, it lights on for a second and then it goes off immediately without booting.
Thanks
I've owned this laptop for quite a while and had been using Webcam Central to control the Integrated Webcam on my Alienware M17x R4. I never had any issues using Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or even Windows 10 until my system updated on 8/20/2016 with a scheduled Windows 10 update.
After the windows 10 update my system restarted and the next time I went to use my webcam I noticed that I couldn't control the pan / zoom / or tilt or alter any of the settings in webcam central. If I attempt to change anything it automatically changes back instantly. For example of I move the slider to zoom, or attempt to change the pan, it auto goes back to where it was and will not allow me to change the settings.
I also notice that my mouse pointer flickers over the webcam central GUI, meaning, there seems to be some issue with the GUI after the windows 10 update, I assume is also whats causing the settings not to be changed.
I have tried uninstalling both the drivers and software and reinstalling to no avail, same problem is present after reinstallation of both drivers and the webcam central software.
Wondering if anyone else has run into this and whether there was some type of resolution.
I was able to get the pan / zoom / tilt working with 3rd party webcam software, however I would prefer to go back to using webcam central.
Inspiron N7110 running Windows 10
Boot up the laptop and it gets stuck at the Login screen but no password field appears. Instead I have the buffering circles rather than the input field for my password. As a result, I cannot log on to my laptop. Just started happening yesterday. Can anyone help?
Thanks

The Inspiron Duo beeps 4 times then pauses and beeps another 4 times, when you turn it on. Also, there is just a blank screen nothing pops on. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?
Hello, my XPS 9350 is having issues with notifications freezing on start up and sound not being recorded or played, as well as videos not starting.
I had the same issue on a 9550 but disabling the NVIDIA backend on start up fixed my issue.
The 9350s notifications freeze on start up, I have to restarted Windows Explorer several times.
Sound does not get picked up from the USB mic only on this laptop. Drivers have been updated uninstall, installed again same issue.
Videos like on youtube are not able to play, it states an error has occurred.
Also when hooking it up to the WD15 dock I believe is the name, the mouse and keyboard stop working after a while, as well as the video does work on the monitor but breaks on the laptop. It shows black for maybe 70% of the screen while the whole desktop shows in the other 30%
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I cannot do a fresh install on this I would lose more than I would gain unfortunately even if I back up.
I purchased a Inspiron 7559 from the Dell Outlet in February and somehow 3 keys have come off my keyboard at different times since then. I do not abuse my laptop in any way and nobody else uses it but me. The keys that have come off got hard to press and I would try to see if I could press them down so they'd go back to normal but that didn't end up happening.
I sent an email to Technical Support through Dell's website and received a response telling me the issue was due to the regular wear and tear of the system. I was then told that Dell has a specialized authorized department that takes care of the cases which involve physical/accidental damage, Cosmetic wear and tear or where the parts need to be replaced when there is no Complete Care Cover active on the system. I was then directed to the "Out of Warranty" department?!?
As I said before I haven't abused or damaged my laptop and a keyboard should last longer then a few months? I was always under the impression that a keyboard was an integral part of a laptop or desktop's operation? I've never had issues in the past getting a keyboard replacement when any Dell laptop I've had was still under warranty.
Hi,
I have an XPS L701X with Windows 7 x64.
My WIFI card is an Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6250 AGN with the original drivers that came with the laptop, both are from 2010, v.13.1.1.1
According to Dell Download Page:
Intel Intel (R) WiMAX Link 6250, v.tic TRFXW0115MUP, A06-1
Intel Intel (R) WiFi Link 6250, v.tic: TRWFW1127D, A03
According to Intel Drive Utility Update, the latest driver for this card is v.15.11.0.7.
Should I update the original Dell driver to this Intel driver or not? Or should I update to the latest Intel driver v.19.1.0

Hi am vijay using Dell inspiron 15 3000 series AMD A6 : it's Not turn on when I press power button and I tried removing battery and AC adapter n hold on for 60seconds and again replace the battery tried also it's not turning on.. So plz suggest regarding this to solve the problem.
So, just under a year ago I had bought a Dell Inspiron 15-3552 laptop and it has mostly been a reliable and durable computer. However, I've had an issue with the charger (or charger jack) twice now. The first time was pretty straightforward. It was an issue with the jack (had to plug the charger in at a certain position, computer lagged with it in, "plugged in, not charging", etc.) and I got it repaired relatively quickly. But this time around, I had an identical problem (except now the charger has stopped working entirely) but the place that I usually go to for this kinda stuff was persistent about this being a charger issue.
So like anyone would, I went to best buy and bought a charger. Despite the fact that the moron said that it would work with my computer, it didn't (and the dude didn't even allow me to return it). After that whole thing, I decided that I'd just look on the dell website for a compatible charger. However, as shown by this ( image.prntscr.com/image/2ab2913161c0448b9d186f2a33b61243.png ), there was no option for an Inspiron 15 3552, leaving me very confused.
TLDR, I need two answers.
1) Is this an issue with the charger itself, or the charger jack?
2) If it's the former, is there any way I can get a list of chargers compatible with this computer?
Hi!
I own a Dell XPS 15 (Skylake) and I´ve noticed that the screen flashes now and then.
It doesnt get all pitch black, it´s more like it dims/flickers for a second...
I´ve tried to restore the computer and installed the most recent intel&nvidia drivers.
Best regards
Hello there,
My name is Khang, I bought a laptop Dell Inspiron 7348 (Service tag 4GWSB32) when I was in Seattle for business in May last year.
Just about recent weeks, my laptop shutdown unattended after few minutes or 20-30 minutes depend on what I am opening.
I ran F12 check or Support Assist tool, but they seem not showing anything wrong. I doubt this situation is related to CPU over heat at 70 C degree.
After shutting down about 10minutes, laptop automatic turn on, but when I use it, it will turn off after a while.
From discussing in Dell’s forum, I see instruction about disabled Intel speedstep may fix this, but I don’t have code for unlock setup.
Please show me how to fix this.
Thank you,
Khang
Hi everyone,
I want to exchange the HDD in my Inspiron 7559 with a normal SATA SSD (I have a Crucial MX300 750 GB).
I did that, and when I'm starting the PC now, the screen stays black, although the light on the power button turns on. To clarify, I can't enter the BIOS, I don't see the DELL logo, the screen just turns, and stays, black. After switching back to the original HDD, the system behaves normally.
First I figured that the laptop required some files on the HDD to start, so I reinstalled the original HDD and cloned it via the Crucial cloning software. That didn't help, the screen still stays perfectly black.
I tried detaching power-adapter and all USB devices, to no avail.
What can I do here? I don't want to keep using the original HDD until Amazon finally has my M.2 SSD in stock. I already updated the BIOS to 1.1.8, after which I was able to boot from the SSD ONCE, after the next reboot the problem was back.
I'd appreciate your help!
I have an issue with my computer in which when I connect two different pair of beats, one being powerbeat wireless and my other beats which are beats solos. When I pair the devices through Bluetooth, 1 minute into a song or just after pairing the sound cuts off. When I go into playback devices, the sound bar moves up and down signalizing that there is sound playing but nothing is heard through the headphones. I believe there is a connectivity issue between any Bluetooth devices and my computer. I have tried updating the drivers and repairing the devices but with no luck.
