Dell Inspiron 5423 :: Fan Noise Even Under Very Regular Operations On UltraBook

Dec 27, 2012

I just bought an Inspiron 5423 laptop which is an Ultrabook. I love everything about this laptop except that a grinding noise comes from the fan even under very regular operations. It comes and go every 10 minutes and last for 30 seconds. Even my wife can hear it from the other side of the room. I'm not sure if something is wrong with this brand new laptop or it is the regular noise for all the Ultrabooks of such brand. It's really annoying and I'm thinking to return it.

Dell XPS 14 :: UltraBook Started To Make Quiet Fast-paced Clicking Noise Inside It

Mar 3, 2013

I've recently purchased the Dell XPS 14 ultrabook and it is probably just about two months old now. Everything was so perfect until just yesterday the laptop started to make a quiet fast-paced clicking noise inside it. I don't know where it is coming from but all I know is that the noise is definitely inside the laptop. It starts usually about 2-3 minutes after turning the laptop on and then lasts for about 1-3 minutes. Is this normal? And is there a way to stop this noise? I know its just something little but I just think it's not normal to have this problem for such a new laptop.

Dell Inspiron 5423 :: Laptop Does Not Power On Normally?

Jan 1, 2015

My Dell Inspiron 5423 laptop does not power on normally; when I press the power button, nothing happens (no lights, no sound). As a result, I have to press the Embedded Controller reset button at the bottom of my laptop for the power button to work. I don't want to have to undergo this procedure every time I turn on my laptop.

Dell Inspiron 14z :: 5423 Won't Start - No Power Light

Dec 7, 2014

Last night I closed my Dell Inspiron 14z - 1523 when it was almost out of power. Later that night I was not able to turn it on again. Power indicator on the AC adapter is on, but when I do the AC adapter in my laptop the power indicator of my laptop stays off (when plugged in the power indicator of the AC adapter is a little less strong four half a second or so).

I read some topics on this forum and discovered the reset button at the back of the laptop. I tried this option, hope it would solve the issue, but the issue remain...

Dell Inspiron 5423 :: Screen Distorted Almost On Every Boot Up

Dec 24, 2014

I have 5423 i3 and recently I started having a problem with which was that on almost every boot the screen would be distorted I.e vertical and horizontal lines would appear rainbow like distorted colours and although anything was barely visible I could make out that the screen ws divided into these four grids like appearance each acting like a separate unit by itself AND along with this the laptop would make 8 beeps on boot until window load screen would appear.

When this problem first started I solved it by holding the laptop screen at an angle then powering it on or sometimes pressing the power button and closing the lid and after I would hear win startup sound I would open it and it would work fine, but now since a day or two ive tried every method amd nothing works...

Dell Inspiron 14Z 5423 :: Will Not Boot - Stuck On Logo Screen

Jan 20, 2013

Been working on my laptop all weekend and took an hour break came back and when the laptop tried to boot up got stuck on the dell screen. The screen it is stuck on has the dell emblem in the middle and has inspiron under that and a progress bar that is completely empty. In the bottom left corner is has F2 Setup and below that has F12 Boot Options.

I have tried to turn it on and press F2 all that happens is the F2 becomes highlighted but nothing seems to happen. I can do the same for the F12. I have tried booting it while plugged into wall and when it's not doesn't seem to change anything. I have left it on for a while now and every few minutes the screen goes blank and makes a few clicking noises and a few of the lights on the top corner of bottom part of laptop flash. It then just gets stuck in the same frozen screen.

The laptop has a weeks worth of very important data I need on it....

Dell Inspiron 14z 5423 :: Slow Wireless Link Speed?

Jan 21, 2013

First of all I have a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen - will be taking this up with Dell tommorrow as its really off putting especially on  brand new laptop.

My second issue is with wireless - did have problems initially with wireless disconnects and genrally slow speeds

Im not entirely sure but removing Mcafee seemed to work with the disconnects at least  - load of rubbish imo

Now my only other major issue is with wireless speeds on the 1703 card

I seem to max out at about 45mb on all broadband speed tests - while on another laptop I get the full speeds of 80mb on the same server at the same location

Im only getting a link speed of 72Mbps in the networking tab of Task Manager and this does seem rather slow - the other laptop gets 450Mbps (better wireless card - to go with my Asus N66U Router)

Anyway my thought process is that the 1703 wireless card is not up to much - I understand that the 1703 card is wireless and bluetooth - with I think 1 antenna for bluetooth and one for wireless connected to the wireless card.

Now I dont use bluetooth much if at all - so does it make sense to buy just a wireless card and connect the two antennas to the card and therefore losing bluetooth connectivity but gaining better wireless connection

I think I have an Intel Centrino WiFi Ultimate N 6300 in the other laptop

Dell Inspiron 5423 14z :: Reboot / Restart But Will Not Shut Down / Sleep Or Hibernate

Nov 9, 2014

I have a Dell Inspiron 14x 5423 that will reboot/restart but will not shut down, sleep, or hibernate.  The screen shows shutting down, the screen and the hard drive turns off, but the power light and fan stay on until the battery dies in the laptop.  I hold the power button and everything shuts off.  When booting, I do not get the windows improperly shut down error the I normally get when I just hold the power button to shut off the computer so I suspect the operating system is shut down!  I have tried updating bios to A13, video drivers, Chipset drivers, and Windows 8.1, The laptop passes all diagnostics.I even tried admin command prompt and "shutdown /s /f /h 0" command with no different results.  Changed all settings in Control Panel to enable sleep and/or hibernate.  I downloaded KB hot-fix which says it is for Windows 7 as another test.

Dell Inspiron 14Z 5423 :: Boot Failure - Fails To Load Setup Screen

Apr 14, 2013

My husband came home from work saying his laptop doesn't work, being the naturally skeptical wife, I tried to boot it up, thinking I'll f10 (Well, f12 - turns out) the problem away.  If that worked, we wouldn't be here.  Anyway.  9_9

The laptop turns on without a problem, and presents me with the Dell loading screen.  The loading bar is present, but nothing is actually 'loading'.  There are two options in the lower right hand corner, "F2 - Setup" and "F12 Boot Options".  If I turn the laptop on and press one of these buttons really quick (within a second), then that option will be highlighted, but nothing more occurs.  I've tried this for both F2 and F12.

I've tried:

-Boot Options - fails to load the options screen
-Setup - fails to load the setup screen
-Turning the power off and holding the button down.
-PSA ...  Pre-startup Analytics...?  Didn't work.  Spent 5 minutes tapping F12 once a second.
-All of the above with and without the AC adapter in.
-Taking the battery out (Oi, that was fun.) and plugging it back in.

None of these yielded different results.

Dell Inspiron 5423 :: Stuck In Startup Screen - Blue Progress Bar Doesn't Show Up

Mar 27, 2013

it's just stuck there, the blue progress bar doesn't show up, I tried pressing f8 but nothing appears. I have also tried draining the battery and recharging then rebooting but nothing happened. It is completely unresponsive. It used to work just fine, just last night I've been playing games and it was working smoothly. But when I woke up and booted up my laptop, nothing was working. By the way, what's the small button underneath the laptop, I think it is the master reset button, because my brother was thinking of pressing it.

Dell :: Inspiron 14z Ultrabook / 3G Modem Configuration

Feb 2, 2013

Got a new Inspiron 14z Ultrabook with Windows 8 64 bit, and I want to connect the Internet through a Huawei EC167 3G modem, running a program called "Mobile Partner". When I first install the modem it works fine, but as soon as I switch off the computer and switch it on again it stops working. The only way I get the modem working again is doing a computer refresh and re-installing the modem, but then it only works until I switch the computer off.

That Huawei modem used to work alright with an Inspiron 11z with Windows 7 64 bit.

Dell Inspiron 14Z :: Ultrabook - Battery Not Recognized For Charging

Dec 5, 2012

Have recently purchased a new 14z. When I turn on the ultrabook, with no power cable plugged in - I get a message telling

me that the Battery is not recognized, and that I should press F1 to continue or F2 to go to the Setup screen. Pressing F1 boots

the ultrabook as normal. It seems a strange message to get. Ultrabook was purchased direct from Dell about 4 weeks ago, and

BIOS is A06 (latest).

Dell Inspiron 15z 5523 Ultrabook :: Not Turning On - No Response

Mar 31, 2013

I had just closed it the other night after charging it. Then there was nothing - no boot, no LED with charger, no fan. I checked and the charger is definitely functioning, so I worry that this is a problem with the motherboard.

Since it's an ultrabook, I haven't been able to remove flea power since the battery is embedded into the laptop.I wonder if it would be possible for a technician to come have a look at it ASAP?

Dell Inspiron 15z :: Ultrabook Lost External Drive Backup Files To Recovery Creation?

Apr 3, 2013

Inspiron 15z Ultrabook, Windows 8, DELL System Recovery.

I have an external Seagate Expansion Drive 2TB and had backup files on it. I created a new partition by shrinking the E: volume and made F: to use for the DELL System Recovery.

I selected the F: partition when asked what drive to use. I was 100% certain E: would never chosen during any steps in the process. After it finished I looked in Computer and found both partitions had been formatted and a DBR_Boot placed in both. Yet E: (where personal files were stored) is basically empty other than what appears to be a boot up capability and F: has the recovery files.

Why has this happened? I need those files. Is there a way to reverse the process or will file recovery software be needed in an attempt to regain those files?

I can't believe this hasn't happened to other people, must be a common occurrence. What I could do to recover lost files.

Apple :: Microsoft Recognizes VM Operations For Windows And Applications

Apr 25, 2009

[url]

I'm not sure if this really needs a separate thread or could go in the VM sticky, but I thought it's pretty important.

It's just been revealed that Windows 7 will have a Virtual Windows XP mode that will basically be running Windows XP in a VM and include integration features like Coherence in VMWare Fusion and Unity in Parallels Desktop. They are doing this to address the remaining software backwards compatibility issues in Windows 7. Of course, Microsoft being Microsoft with their product segmentation, is currently limiting access to Windows XP mode for Professional Edition users and higher, although it is commendable that they are offering it for free.

Why is this significant for Macs? I think this is very useful because future Window operating systems and applications will be written with the expectation that they will be running in VMs in future OS for compatibility. It wouldn't surprise me if Windows 7 (kernel 6.1) and Office 2010 are already being designed in a way so that they can run well in a VM for a future kernel 7.0 based Windows OS. These optimizations would of course benefit Mac users who still have to use Windows application or perhaps even play games. I'm sure it'll also be a compelling transition point to encourage switchers, especially if they are already familiar with virtualization from Windows 7.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p Periodically Freezing During Normal Operations

Aug 16, 2013

I received my laptop a little over a week ago, and ever since I've been using it, the applications/laptop will freeze for a period of time.  Sometimes recovering and moving on, other times I have no choice but to force shut down the laptop.
 
There are times when it will freeze, and only 1 app is frozen, but the sound is running, or I can do other things while it works itself out.  When this happens, sometimes I can open task manager, other times, nothing happened.  Then even if I manage to open the task manager, I can NOT shut the frozen application down.  Either the freezing works itself out, and then it closes down like normal/should when telling it to close this way, or the computer eventually locks up completely.
 
I did remove Macafee, and after reading some, used the total removal program from their site.  However, this has not fixed my issue.  My game still froze, forcing me to restart, and after restarting my web browser still froze for about a minute while trying to get here to make this post.

What if anything can I do to find out what is causing this problem?  I have tried updating my drivers from Lenovo, this hasn't worked.  I thought about using the diagnosics tool from Lenovo, but those do not seem to usable by the IdeaPad series.

Dell :: Memory Speed Affecting Windows Experience (memory Operations)

Oct 13, 2008

A friend just showed me his new Dell Vostro lappy. He has 4 GB of DDR2 800mhz memory on it when compared to my 4 GB of DDR2 667mhz memory on my XPS 1530

However, under his windows experience score - he gets 5.9 score for memory operations while I just get a 5.1. I can't believe that a couple of hundred mhz can result in such a drastic difference.

Is there something optimized for his system but not for mine?
