Latest Wireless/Bluetooth Drivers for XPS 15 9550

0
0

I looked at the info for the latest drivers released for Bluetooth (v12.0.1.750, A04) and Wireless (v1.566.0.0, A05) for the XPS 15 9550. What's going on? Those versions were released and I have installed them a long time ago although the Axx version is different. The v1.566.0.0 wireless driver was released in early April although it was assigned A04. What am I to believe? Has the incorrect version number been posted?

Battery problem

0
0

Hi,

My laptop ran out of battery while the system actualizations were made. Next day I tried to turn on my laptop and the Dell logo appeared and within 5 seconds the laptop turned off. I plugged the charger but the light (white light) didn't appear, so I assume the laptop isn't charging.

The charger works, because it has the green light and I plugged other charger into my laptop but it didn't work.

Please, help

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 14, 3000 series.

SD card slot not working on Windows 10 - Inspiron 3542

0
0

I've seen this problem reported for other Dell machines for a year now, since Windows 10 came out, but not for my model.

Since installing Windows 10, I can't use my SD card slot to write to, format, etc. a microSD card with adaptor. I can see the drive, read the card, and transfer files from it, but when I try to write I get an error message that the disk is write protected. It isn't. The exact same cards and adaptors work fine in my son's computer, and the cards work fine in my phone.

I just updated all my drivers and it still isn't working. When will Dell finally provide a fix for this? I can't even find any indication that they're working on it.

Hello Experts

On my dell Latitude E7440, the keyboard's CAPS LOCK key doesn't turn on the indicator light when the key is pressed.

Therefore I want to know, as a workaround, where is the setting to display the CAPS LOCK status on screen whenever it is On/Off.

Thanks for your help.

Inspiron P24T - Factory Reset Interrupted; how to recover?

0
0

My niece attempted to do a factory reset on her Inspiron, but forgot to keep it plugged in and the battery died mid-attempt. Now when we turn it on we get an error about the Windows installation being unable to proceed and needing to restart the installation. I do have access to F2 Bios and F12 Boot manager. But F8 Advanced Boot Options doesn't seem to work. F12 doesn't have a Repair or Recovery option.

Any thoughts? Options? Friendly and helpful advice?

Inspiron 15 3542 Touchpad replacement

The left touchpad button no longer works. I am trying to find the part number and where to order it from Dell.

I have found M214V (touchpad and palm rest) and this 460.00H0N.0002 for the touchpad by itself. But apparently only ebay, amazon, and every other repair store on the internet sell them. Where can I find the correct parts from Dell?  

Can you correctly color calibrate the Dell XPS 15 (9550) 4k?

0
0

I'm looking to buy the Dell XPS 15 (9550) 4k to replace the XPS 15 I have owned for 5 years. This one really looks intriguing with the 4k monitor, but I'm reading blogs and forum posts all over the place with people saying they are having problems with the color, correct white and black settings, etc. with this monitor. I am an enthusiast photographer and print quite a bit. I mainly use Lightroom and PhotoNinja for processing my photos. I would really like to have a laptop with a color correctable display. I have an X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter. Has anyone tried to calibrate this monitor with the i1Display Pro? And if so, is anyone having any success? Or, is anyone having any success calibrating this monitor using any other method? Thanks guys, and really look forward to getting some good and positive answers.

Precision 7510 with latest 1.06.06 BIOS 

Problem: After having shutdown Windows 10 the machine will fail to boot up to Windows 10 and the spinning Windows loading graphic does not appear.

Workaround: Shutdown machine by holding power button down and immediately start it up again. This then boots to Windows 10.

Any suggestions on what might be causing this ?

Motherboard Administrative Lock?

I recently purchased a new Motherboard off of Ebay, it is a Genuine Motherboard with the Service code BP42FV1

The BIOS is administratively locked, I have no way passed this, but I would really like to get this fixed. Do I need to resend the Motherboard back to the seller or can I get this password unlocked? 


Screen or graphics problem on Precision M4400?

0
0

I have a M4400 with a number of weird problems with the screen.

On start up after the Dell logo the screen goes black and just stays black the entire time.

The keyboard lights are on and you can hear the HDD loading everything but cannot see anything.

If I attach an external monitor then I can only see the screen on that, the laptop screen stays black.

Other times when I start up instead a black screen, everything can be seen fine except everything has a deep blue filter over it which will suddenly turn to a bright pink filter then turn normal. After a few minutes it will turn blue then pink again in a cycle. Sometimes after the pink it will have a black filter so the screen is only just visible and very dark.

I have tried resetting the laptop, updating nvidia drivers and trying a Linux Live CD but I still have the same problem. What makes it worse is that when I take it back to where I bought it the problem doesn't happen and they can't see the problem to fix it.

I am not sure if this is a screen or graphics card problem, can anyone advice what it could be and how to solve it?

Thanks
