Latitude E7440 and K09A E-port Dock, Left USB Ports Do Not Work

0
0

The left USB ports on my E-port K09A do not work when docked with my Latitude E7440.  I have not found an update for Windows 10 for the Synaptics VMM2320.  I have read elsewhere that this is a common issue with Latitudes and E-port docks, but I have not found a solution to my issue.  All other ports are working properly.  Any help would be appreciated.

Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop - CD/DVD Drive loud noise

0
0

I have a problem with my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop.

When I put a CD in the drive, it makes a loud noise and the laptop vibrates. However, this only happens when I put a CD-RW disc in the drive. When I put another CD in, such as an audio CD, it doesn't make this noise.

Does this suggest the CD/DVD drive needs replacing?

XPS 13 matte screen - heat development / brightness adjustment

0
0

I'm considering the XPS13 with a matte screen. However, all reviews I find mention that it's not possible to adjust the brightness with the matte display. Is this still the case? If so then quite honestly, a Dell is not the right one for me as my eyes have special needs, which require custom brightness and a matte display.

What about the temperature development at the bottom? I'd be using the notebook exclusively on my lap and I would not want to carry around a heat protection mat.

Thanks a lot :)

Multimedia keys not functioning properly

0
0

Some of my multimedia keys specifically f4-f6 are not functioning as previous song, play/pause, and skip song accordingly. Other multimedia keys such as f1-f3 work fine which are mute, volume down, and volume up. I have found that when I press [atl]+[f5] the play/pause works and [alt]+[f6]  skips to the next song, and [atg]+[f4] closes whichever window I am currently in.

I have a Inspiron 7548 that is running windows 10.0.14393 build 15393 any ideas on how to fix those 3 keys functionality?

Dell Inspiron 15 7568 Keeps Randomly Freezing

0
0

I purchased the Dell Inspiron 2 in 1 touch screen a couple weeks ago and I have been having issues with it ever since. The computer works fine for several hours and then it just freezes up. The keyboard and touchscreen are both frozen, so there is no possibly way to troubleshoot anything. Each time it happens I am forced to manually restart the computer. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing, when it malfunctions. I cant even CTRL-ATL-DELETE to close anything down. Every report I runs says nothing is wrong.  Any idea how I can prevent this from happening? It's occurring several times a day and just  happened today while I was working on research for my dissertation. This unknown glitch is causing my work to suffer. . It occurs about twice a day now, so its getting to be very problematic. Its running on Windows 10 if that helps.  I welcome all suggestions!!


Inspiron 15 7569 - Memory

0
0

There was a recent BIOS update for my Inspiron 15 7569 (01.05.00, A05) that listed this enhancement:

- Enhanced memory module compatibility

I also noticed that the new 7569 configuration with the 7th generation i7 comes with 16GB in one memory slot.  I was wondering if this new BIOS would accept a 16GB module in both slots for a total of 32GB?

Thanks,

John

Trackpad Issues

Hello all,

Recently I have been having problems with the trackpad on my laptop. The trackpad will freeze every five minutes for a few seconds. Once my trackpad freezes for the first time after startup I am no longer able to scroll. I have tried to update my drivers but I am unsure if I was succesful. Maybe I should try to uninstall and reinstall the rivers. Any help with this problem would be much appreciated, it is very annoying.

Thank you!

Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 Ram Compatibility

I just recently picked up a Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 w/ an 3rd gen i5 3210M and a HM77, A19 Bios....I was wondering if anyone can help find the max supported ram and Cas Latency it could take? Specs say I cant go past 8GB but I read the i5/HM77 can go up to 32GB? They also say to use DDR3L-1600 but when I go on crucial or new egg they say I can use DDR3L-1866?

It currently has just an 8GB DDR3L-1600, dude before me was running the max 8GB on one slot and a 4GB on the other for some reason so I want to pick up a pair to utilize the dual channel. It recognized the 12GB he had in it so I figured the 16GB might work

Any insight would be great

Thanks

whenever I boot my laptop it shows that the function key F2 is on and the laptop straight way goes to Bios screen. After pressing the Esc key the bios screen goes, then the laptop boots to windows. I have formatted the c drive updated the drivers but the problem remained unsolved. I have taken out the battery and pressed the start switch for sometime to drain the static power but nothing happened. You are requested to help me out from this problem.

Can't install OS on clean hard drive

My PC is a Dell E6420 Latitude

The HDD crashed,so I bought a brand new one.Also bought a new copy of Win 7 professional.

I switched out HDD, turned on my laptop and saw this:

Intel boot agent GE v1.3.72

Initializing and establishing link

PXE-E61 ; Media test failure check cable

PXE-M0F;Exiting Intel boot agent

No Boot Device Found. Press any key to reboot the machine.  

So I restarted,pressed F12, went to BIOS and selected cd/dvd drive to run first  so I could install win 7 on the new HDD ,and I see this

No Boot Device Found.Press any key to reboot the machine.

I've installed OS on desktops before,but not a laptop.

I'm assuming that since both HDD and OS cd  are brand new that the fault lies with me.

Thanks in advance. 


Latitude E5550 custom battery charge thresholds not respected when connecting to AC power

0
0

I'm having an issue where custom battery charge thresholds aren't being respected on my E5550 when I plug my laptop into AC power.

Steps to replicate:

Using Dell Command | Power Manager, set custom battery settings such that the battery will start charging at 80% and stop charging at 90%.

Unplug from AC power.

Discharge the battery to anywhere below 90% but not below 80%.

Plug-in to AC power.

Result:

The battery will charge when the laptop is connected to AC power despite the battery charge state being above the custom 'start charge' point of 80%.

Desired outcome:

The battery should not charge unless it is is below the custom 'start charge' point.

Using V 2.1.1 of Power Manager and the A13 (latest) BIOS.

This looks like a bug in the battery charger firmware to me. Anyone else?
