Dell :: Inspiron N5110 / Getting Stuck On Web Pages And Having To Close Out The Page And Then Open It Up Again

Apr 8, 2013

Frequently have the problem of getting stuck on web pages and having to close out the page and then open it up again.  For example, am selling items on ebay and during the listing process - particularly when loading a photo - page freezes and am unable to navigate up or down or click on anything to move out of the page.  When I attempt to reload the page the laptop seems to make an effort to do this but with no results.  Have been clearing browsing data to see if that works but no luck.  I am running Windows 7.

Dell Inspiron N5050 :: Little Clicking Sound From Laptop Hard Disc

Feb 26, 2013

I have a Dell Inspiron N5050. The hard disc of the laptop makes little clicking sound, which can be heard only in silence or if you keep it close to your ear, but yeah it makes those sounds continuously.  I bought it last year and I noticed this sound after like 4 months. I have the latest firmware update installed and also checked the hard disc for errors, but that isn't making any effect. It working completely fine. I use it moderately, some Ms office works and a sometimes games too, like about 6 hours a day. No hangs, No high temperature and nothing.

But since I've experienced trouble with the hard disc of a PC (which crashed within days after it started making sounds), i am a little tensed about it. Should i take it to a service center? will a hard disc format be useful. The sound is louder when the device is booting.

I am using windows 7 Home basic SP1 x64, the hard disc is ST 9500325AS 500GB, 2GB RAM.

HP/Compaq :: Display Disables When I Close And Open Lid

May 10, 2009

I switched from using a VGA to an HDMI cable to link my external monitor to my laptop.

When I close the lid and open it back up, my laptop has no display and my desktop moves over to the External Display. The only way I get it back on my laptop display is to use the function button which just clones it and I would have to use the ATI Catalyst Control Center to get it back to normal again. I opened up Catalyst and closed the lid and I tried opening it back up. It then shows my Laptop display is disabled. Everytime I close and open the lid, it gets disabled.

Dell Inspiron N5050 :: No Hard Drive Detected

Dec 7, 2014

Dell Inspiron N5050 crashed and upon boot, I got this black screen. Upon seeing this, I did a diagnostics test. I did both a thorough and quick test and got this message showing that the hard drive didn't exist. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this or do I need to replace the hard drive?

Dell Inspiron N5050 :: DVD / CD Drive Doesn't Work

Feb 28, 2013

This computer is 6 months old.  It came with Windows 7, and I did install Windows 8 in October 2012.  I have had problems ever since and neither Dell nor Microsoft can support.  ANYWAY, until today, my DVD/CD player worked just fine.  I used it every few days, but today when I went to use it, the door would not open.  I notice the light next to the Open button is not lit up, but my device manager says it is in working order and the driver is updated. 

I tried Ejecting from the device manager, but it does not work.  When I ran the Dell Diagnostics program, it said that it was unable to run the diagnostics when there is media in the drive or the door is open.  There is a game disc in the drive, and the game works, but I think it is downloaded onto the computer, so maybe does not use the disc during play??  How can the drive work and not the door?  Is there anything I can do??

HP/Compaq :: New Laptop Dv5- Open The Disc Recovery Manager, And The Computer Suddenly Logs Off

Jan 29, 2009

i got my new dv5 last night and ive got a problem. The first time it happened was when i tried to make one of those back up DVD's, i open the disc recovery manager, and the computer suddenly logs off, and im reverted back to the welcome screen where i need to click my name to log back in. Every program that was running simply dissapears. I was like 'crap... i guess i cant make any back up discs'. But then it happened again when i tried to install WinRAR, it was corrupted becuase i copied the files from another computer and after i press ok in the error box it does the same thing.. 3 times i had to re-download a file i was downloading at that time. I guess it only happens when theres an error. I immediatly uninstalled norton and most of the bloatware so it cant be due to that. So now im paranoid about opening any file hoping that it wouldnt log off like that suddenly and lose my work.

I just got my system the other day and I didn't get it with the blu-ray drive. It seems it wasn't even on the configuration menu when I ordered my system.
