Dell :: Screen Scrambled. Is There Hope For Salvaging My Laptop?

Apr 20, 2010

My 5 and half year old Dell 600m is facing its biggest problem right now, and it has had many problems over the year..

Last week, I put the computer into safe mode to scan for viruses, and left it for an hour before logging in. When I came to log in, the computer screen is all scrambled..

I thought it could be a temporary problem or it may be overheating, so I restarted it a while later. However, the screen is still scrambled. Here is what it looks like..

Dell :: Laptop Fried, Is There Any Hope?

Sep 6, 2009

I've had a Dell Latitude D600 for about a year now, but its been in my car for a few months, up until a week ago.

I just couldn't do anything with it because I was so busy, and didn't have anywhere to go that I could connect to Wi-Fi. So I finally got it out of my car and started tinkering with it (reinstalling MicroXP and Ubuntu 9.04).

I messed around with it for a whole week and didn't have any problems. Tonight, while I was watching the Alabama/VA Tech game (go bama) at my brother's house, I was on my laptop, and the battery was getting low.

I didn't want to plug in my power brick to charge it up, because the plug was behind the couch, and my sister in law's cord was already plugged in, so I figured I'd just use it (hers is a newer latitude .....

Dell :: Spilled Soda On My Laptop, Any Hope?

Apr 21, 2009

I knocked some soda onto my computer while doing homework, it was on the top right hand corner of the keyboard. Its an e1505 from a litte over 2&1/2 years ago (warranty is out).

I let it dry under a fan for an hour, then left it another hour. It worked fine, but 1 speaker didn't work.

I turned it off, but I tried to turn it back on to print something about an hour later and it wouldn't turn on. It said "no bootable device". It would run a dell diagnostic though

Dell :: Laptop Screen Not Plugged In Properlyred Lines / Screen Distorted

Jan 24, 2009

when i first got this laptop i noticed that the screen was distorted and there was red lines everywhere and the screen was shaking abit. so i contacted dell and they sent me a repair guy to fix it. he fixed it in about 15min by pulling apart the laptop and replugging in the screen. but now its happening again. so i think the thing that plugs in is loose or somethin. so what do u think i should do out of the following options.

1. open it myself and replug it (im a noob and will try remember best what he did)

2. get techinician to come in again (bothersome as i have school)

3. ask dell for a replacement laptop.

im using m1530

Sony :: Parts Of The Screen Have Low Screen Resolution One Brand New Laptop

Apr 18, 2010

I just bought a brand new Sony Vaio VPCF11M1E and I have the following problem:

Because in normal stand the screen is very small, I enlarged it to x150%. Everything becomes bigger, but the following parts are blurry and absolutely not sharp:

-Pop ups, of programs and of windows itself (like advanced settings of something and then a new windows pops up, that one is then totally blurry; you can read it, but it is not the good resolution)

-Google chrome (and with that, all the internet pages)

-The google chrome on the desktop is also very blurry, while all the others, are still sharp (after the enlargement by 150%)

I have tried everything (32 bits colours is on, cleartype is on). I also did a system restore to the first days I bought the laptop and then it was on 100% so the resolution was excellent, but then I put it on 150% and again, the parts I mentioned above, were blurry.

Dell :: Laptop Screen Flickering And Burning

Apr 8, 2009

I have a 4 year old Dell Inspiron 6000 that has recently been giving me a number of problems. For the past two days the laptop has been flickering between the display and a black screen, with it becoming somewhat more frequent as time went on.

I had read that it may be a loose wire and I had planned on opening it up and attempting to fix it myself (the warranty is over and I'd rather attempt to fix it myself first before paying to have it fixed at extremely high prices).

However, the lower right corner of the screen has recently started to become incredibly hot and noticeable smoke and burning has begun to occur. I immediately shut off and unplugged the computer and have not used it since .....

Dell Inspiron 15 :: Laptop Screen Dims When Unplugged

Dec 29, 2014

Whenever I unplug my laptop from external power, the screen considerably dims and the taskbar turns white over it's usual blueish black. I've gone into the power settings and changed them so that brightness is 100% when unplugged, but to no avail. According to my computer it's at maximum brightness when unplugged but it's obviously not. Trying to increase the brightness by the sun key or pressing Fn up doesn't work either. Tried to go into BIOS via F2 but couldn't find a video or brightness option.

In Windows 8.1, the on-screen keyboard pops up whenever I select a text input field, even when I am using it in laptop mode.  This is becoming quite a nuisance.  It wasn't a problem before I 'upgraded' from Windows 8.

Dell Inspiron 15 :: Laptop Screen All Symbols - Cannot Get Into Account?

Nov 21, 2014

I've had this Dell Inspiron 15 for all of about 3 hours, and when I'm on the internet, it randomly shuts off, turns back on, and displays this:

[URL].....

This computer has Windows 8 and when I type in my password in the box I suspect is the login screen, it just comes up with more symbols.

Can't get into computer. Computer is covered in symbols and gibberish. Is there a way to factory reset this computer without actually being able to get in? Or should I just send it back?

Dell Latitude E6410 :: How To Awake Laptop After Screen Goes Black

Jul 15, 2014

This  Latitude E6410 is my 4th dell laptop, (3 desktops too) so I thought I was familiar with their behaviour.  Nevertheless a new issue has arisen, when idle for some time the screen goes blank, similar to my other machines.  Usually I  press enter, they wake up and I carry on with my work..  The E6410's screen goes blank and will not display again.  All the activity is revived as I can hear the sounds my spreadsheets and accounting and tax software make, except for the screen display. A reboot is necessary.

Dell Studio 1537 :: Laptop Screen Goes Blank After Restart

Jul 8, 2010

I've had my Studio 1537 for about a year and once in awhile my laptop screen goesblank after my computer restarts or if I turn my laptop on. This happened to be about 10 times (the first time I spent about 3 days on the phone with a technian) already and I always have to reinstall Windows Vista to get my laptop working again. Today I found out that whenever my computer updates my video drive my screen will go blank, is this normal? What I can do to prevent this from happening again? My screen also goes blank when I install a video driver from the dell CD, but when I uninstalled it in safe mode and restart my laptop my screen is no longer blank.

Jan 19, 2015

Have Inspiron 3520 with W8 - daughter has infected it via Minecraft update.  Original issue was dark screen and beeping, 8 at a time.  Put on a external monitor and am going through the long process of digging out the bugs with anti-virus and malware removal programs.

Question is this - how can I stop the infernal beeping?  It starts up if I insert the power cord or disconnect/connect the external monitor.  Is there any way to silence it?

Dell Studio 1558 :: Laptop Won't Boot Up / No BIOS Screen

Dec 3, 2014

I have a Studio 1558 laptop, about 3 years old and a couple of weeks ago it stopped working.

When I press the power button (both on battery and on mains supply) the power button lights up white and stays white and my backlit keyboard lights up.  I can hear the fan whirring but thats all that happens. It will stay like this for ever until I press the power button and it then shuts down instantly.  There is no BIOS screen and I get no POST beeps.

I've tried plugging it into my TV as an alternative monitor but there's still nothing.  I've checked the hard drive and swapped it for a new one but it still makes no difference.  I've checked the memory and that's fine.  If i try to boot up with the memory removed I do get two beeps.
