Dell Inspiron 15Z :: Touchscreen Works Intermittently

Apr 7, 2013

My 15Z touchscreen works intermittently.  It will be working just fine, then it starts to take a second to respond.  Then it stops responding at all.  Then it starts working again.  I cannot identify any pattern to it.

Dell Inspiron 15 5000 :: Touchscreen Freezes For 3-10 Seconds At A Time Intermittently

Sep 27, 2014

I just received my Inspiron 15 5547 computer 2 days ago and one thing I noticed is that intermittently the touchscreen freezes for 3-10 seconds at a time, when this happens the computer is not frozen, I can still move the cursor with the touch pad or with a Bluetooth mouse.

I have contacted tech support and they advised to give it a few days to see if it continues to happen and confirm that the computer in fact does not freeze. I am wondering if this is normal for this model? Or if this is an actual hardware issue with my computer.

I also am wondering about getting a stylus to use on the screen for drawing. If I get one like the Adonit Jot or one like used for a Samsung Galaxy Note III would that work? Would it cause any damage to the screen?

Dell Latitude E6400 :: ATG Mouse Pad Works Intermittently

Nov 28, 2012

Dell Latitude E6400 ATG mouse pad works intermittently.  It will work then stop and I have to use the keyboard nub.  Then it will work.  Then it will not work and it will drift to one corner.  If I press on either side of the mousepad wrist rest area it will drift faster. 

This is why I think it is a hardware issue.

I have updated with the most recent driver several times and it does not correct the problem.  Driver is dated 1/13/2011

Lenovo B / G Series :: Audio Intermittently Works On G500 Running Windows 8 64 Bit

Jul 16, 2014

I have been having issues with audio on my G500. One moment it works and the next it doesn't. I don't quite know what can be the issue. I have tried multiple browsers to see if that is the issue and it has not made a difference. I am running Windows 8.0, 64 bit operating system if that makes a difference. This laptop is not even a year old.

Dell Inspiron 15R 5521 :: Intermittently Restarts At Various Times?

Nov 27, 2014

I have an Inspiron 15R 5521 that intermittently restarts at various times.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I am working in an MS Office Application or Firefox, IE, Chrome at least as far as noticing a pattern.  

I have tried to run the diagnostic tests on the Dell Support site numerous times and keep getting the message "A problem has been detected, please try again" at the third step in the Diagnostic test process, 'Installing my Dell client'.

Dell :: Inspiron 5100 Intermittently Stops Charging Battery...

Apr 20, 2009

I know about the DC Jack problem the 5150 has and I don't think this has that it works great with the AC adapter plugged in.

I have already tryed another battery and same results. I ordered a new AC adapter and I am (albeit impatiently) waiting for the arrival. So in the meanwhile I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any ideas (And if the AC adapter doesn't work)????

I have already done a search and the only relevant item I found was something about the LVC14A chip issue and was wondering if it could be that?

Dell Inspiron 7347 :: Mouse On Touchpad Hangs Up Intermittently

Jan 5, 2015

I have had my Inspiron 7347 for a few days.  When operating on the battery, the touchpad exhibits some quirks that make this P:C extremely hard to use as a portable laptop.

The mouse on the touchpad hangs up intermittently, sometimes for several seconds.  This erratic behavior makes using the mouse terribly difficult.

When scrolling using the mouse on a vertical scroll bar, the right click menu for the desktop keeps popping up.  I must move the mouse away from the scroll bar, left click to get rid of the right click menu, and return the mouse to the scroll bar.  Sometimes this behavior is constant when scrolling through a long page, making it impossible to use the mouse to scroll.

Dell Inspiron 3137 :: TouchScreen Does Not Work?

Dec 1, 2014

I have an Inspirion 3137 with a clean install of Windows 8.  My touch screen does not work at all.  So far I have:

 - installed all available driver updates from Dell

 - installed all available Windows updates

 - updated to windows 8.1

 - installed all original software from Dell backup image

I tried following troubleshooting to calibrate the touchscreen and the calibration options are not available in the control panel.

I have found that the touchscreen is not listed in the device manager under human interface devices.  I found an updated chipset that claims to fix this issue but it is apparently not compatible with this computer.

Dell Inspiron 7737 :: Touchscreen And USB Root Hub Gone?

Jul 9, 2014

After the latest Windows update my machine restarted to no USB mouse activity. I checked Device Manager and could see that the USB root hub was not functioning so I then proceeded to reuse Windows update and it told me there was an update available for Intel USB hub so I ran this and after another restart and some fiddling (it tried to make me install a USB keyboard driver which I had to uncheck as it kept failing and preventing the mouse driver installing) I got my mouse working again.

However I now have no touchscreen functionality) this is shown as non fuctioning in the device drivers, it also says the transciever for the mouse isn't recognised but as the mouse works I don't really care about this).

In answer to the suspected responses, yes I do have a touchscreen (or rather did have!), yes I do have the latest BIOS, I've run the Dell update and touchsceen doesn't appear as an option for device drivers, no this is 99.999% not a hardware issue unless its unbelievably coincidental with Windows Update and no it did not give me an option to rollback my drivers for any of the devices that stopped working.

How do I get my touchscreen functioning again?

Dell Inspiron 15z 5523 :: Intermittently Make A Repeated Series Of 5 Loud Beeps

Jan 24, 2015

I have a DELL Inspiron 15z 5523 which intermittently make a repeated series of 5 loud beeps. The support site seems to suggest a problem with the CMOS/Bios coin cell battery. So I presume I need to replace this. Does this sound right?

I have the user manual that shows how to replace this battery (after taking everything apart!) which looks do-able. But I can't find out what kind of coin cell battery I need to buy for replacement.

Dell Inspiron 3521 :: Touchscreen Stopped Working?

Aug 27, 2013

I recently purchased a stock-standard Inspiron 3521 Touch running windows 8.

The touchscreen worked for the first few days but has subsequently stopped working which I suspect is due to windows/other software updates.

The system is not showing/recognising any Tablet and Pen hardware/drivers.

Dell Inspiron 17 7737 :: Touchscreen Not Recognized After Updated To Windows 8.1

Jun 23, 2014

Brand new laptop 3 days old - model 7737. Came with Win8 and touchscreen was working fine

Have updated to 8.1 and installed other software like office, etc and touchscreen is now not recognised. System says "no pen or touch device"

Device manager also shows an unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed)
Device manager also keeps refreshing (like every few seconds) - sometimes the USB device disappears completely then comes back again as unknown.

I'm sure this must be a driver issue but have tried all those I can find.

Dell Inspiron 14R 5437 :: Touchscreen Stopped Working After Update

Dell Inspiron 15Z 5523 :: Windows 8 - Ghost Clicks On Touchscreen

Mar 17, 2013

I've recently bought an Inspiron 15Z 5523 (Win 8) and started experiencing ghost clicks on the touch screen (primarily on the left side of the screen). Once it starts happening, it pretty much makes it impossible to use the laptop since it starts to click/zoom/scroll randomly continuously. Leaving it alone wont fix it. I have to turn off the laptop via the power button and the problem fixes itself sometimes after turning it back on, but at other times, have to leave it off for longer. I have also tried wiping the screen clean, but doesn't work either.

How can I disable the touch screen temporarily?

Dell Inspiron 17 7000 :: Google Chrome Doesn't React To Touchpad Only To Touchscreen

Jan 3, 2015

I got Dell Inspiron 17 7000 Series touchscreen laptop, and When I use Google Chrome browser, everything's okay from the start but sometimes it just stops responding to my mouse clicks and responds only to taps on touchscreen. Sometimes cursor dissapears when I try to move it from touchpad in Chrome. It appears when its positioned in lower Windows menu but dissapears as moved onto browser screen. Sometimes it doesn't disappear and I can move it, just can't click anything. Maybe there would be a point to reinstall Chrome?

It never happens for my DJing programs or other stuff. Oh and one more. For example, in some games and DJing program where I need to move equalizers and so, when using touchscreen I can't swipe, pull things, the whole window swipes away. Is it because of Windows 8 possibility to swipe in apps from left corner or just a glitch?

An exact example is Candy Crush (oh,dont be too harsh on me for playing such silly stuff) :D but I can't swipe candies with touchscreen, I can just tap on one and then tap on next one to make them change places. Though it wasn't like that 2 days ago,I was able to swipe those dumb candies. Have I pushed some button or something? I got Classic Shell program that converts all the menus pretty much to Windows 7 look, maybe the problem is connected with that..?

Dell Inspiron 11 3147 :: Touchscreen Doesn't Work Correctly On Battery Power

Dec 9, 2014

I got an inspiron 11 on Friday.  I started noticing that sometimes the touchscreen wouldn't work correctly.  Sometimes It takes a few taps to register a touch, other times it just quits working for a  few seconds. This makes it hard to do anything, and makes it completely impossible to play any touchscreen games.

After a couple days, I finally figured out that It was on battery power that  I had the problems.  When plugged in the touchscreen works perfectly.

I have downloaded all the dell upgrades, and windows upgrades. I've also tried to turn off all the battery saving options I could find.  Under power options advanced screen I changed every option to the same for plugged in and on battery. I turned off the option for dells power saving features. In device manager I took away windows ability to put usb hub asleep.  There Is probably more I'm forgetting. Basically everywhere I seen a difference between battery and plugged in, i changed.

It passes all the hardware checks, both through dell software, and on the bootup hardware check.

I use this in tablet mode 90% of the time.  And returning it to laptop mode to use touchpad/keyboard just isn't acceptable

Dell :: Inspiron 1420 Only Works On External Monitor

Nov 2, 2009

i have an inspiron 1420, and want to bring it around school, i usually use it as a desktop at home using an external monitor(FN + F8), for some reason my laptop only works when plugged with a monitor, the laptop monitor is blank but you can see light at least, but no images whatsoever. I got it to work after reformatting the second time but not the 3rd 4th or 5th time.

I've noticed something strange though when formatting with xp, the letters were both gray and red, and when it gets to the page with the estimation(usually about 30 minutes) the picture quality was crap like 4bit.

I've noticed that when i successfully got the laptop monitor working the picture quality ran at a full 32bit

Dell Inspiron 15R N5110 :: Only Works When Plugged In Otherwise Just Shut Down

Dec 1, 2014

My laptop just shut down on me out of nowhere. The battery wasn't low, in fact it had just finished charging. It wouldn't turn back on until I plugged it back in and tried. The battery is at 86%, not charging. The battery indicator light flashes red 4 times, then white then off.

It can now only run when it is plugged in. I can start my laptop and it runs fine while plugged in but as soon as it is unplugged, it shuts off.

I assume this is a hardware issue and what caused it. Nonetheless, I used the diagnostic tools provided and found no issue and tried a system restore to no avail.

My laptop is a few weeks out of warranty (classic)...
