It's been over a month since I purchased my unit from Dell Malaysia and just yesterday I faced this very unusual problem with my keyboard. Keys 6 7 y u h j n m were not functioning. Did any of you experienced the same problem?
I am currently here in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and in case any of you knows how I can manage to avail Dell's warranty service from he I would love to hear from you.
I recently ordered a Dell Studio XPS 1645. By default it came with the 9 cell battery. I also ordered an additional 6 cell battery for it.
Is it ok to use the 6 cell battery with this laptop? Obviously the battery won't last as long, but will the laptop run ok? I'm asking because my laptop is going to be plugged in on my desk most of the time and the 6 cell keeps the laptop flat.
I have a Dell Latitude E6430 laptop running windows 7 64-bit. When I try to use it with a docking station, the USB ports on the docking station do not work. When I try to use a USB mouse with it, it only works with one of the USB ports. When I try using my printer (HP laserjet 1320) through the USB ports, it doesn't work (it did previously with a Dell latitude E6430 running windows 7 64-bit).
I've installed the latest BIOS upgrade, updated the USB and intel chipset drivers. How do I get these working?
I have Dell Inspiron 5521 Laptop Purchased in Apr 2013. It is now out of warranty. I am facing one problem in right arrow key on Keyboard. it not functioning .

From where i can get it repaired?
I recently bought an Inspiron 14z and I rebooted it for the first time the other day after properly plugging it in and starting to set it up. It froze on the Dell logo and for some reason I can't use f2, f1, f8, or f12 at all to get to the boot menu to fix it!
I have Inspiron 15R 5520 running windows 7 .,. In this model i have 3 hotkeys one for settings the 2nd for multimedia the 3rd is for apps i guess only the setting buttons is working what should i do ?
Has anyone had an issue where the ALS suddenly stops working under Windows 7? I've checked BIOS settings, tried seemingly every combination of driver uninstalls/reinstalls, confirmed that both the Dell and Microsoft ambient light sensor services are enabled and running (and tried disabling, one, the other, and both) and have not had any luck. Unlike some other posts I found on here with the same-body Lattitude models, I can control the backlight manually with both the keyboard and software - it is only the ambient sensor that does not work.
I have the Dell Studio 1537 and I have two issues :
1. Since I bought the laptop, the media (light) buttons aren't functioning properly. The media player-button isn't working at all, and after I upgraded to Windows 8.1 only the Eject-button does work. Earlier I tried some Registry tweaks, but they did not do the job..
2. The scroll line on the touch pad doesn't work, even when the driver for it is installed properly. How I can bring it to usefulness again?
I have an INSPIRON E1505 with Windows XP. The McAfee protection was not working properly, so I contacted customer service. They checked my computer and said that I should contact the computer manufacturer because I have errors on CHKDSK. I've done some research on this website, but have not been able to find a solution yet.
I ran the full Dell PC diagnostics, and everything passed except my battery.
I used this page [URL].... to guide me through chkdsk, running it from "my computer" and choosing "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors." Phase 2 appeared to be nearly down when I received the prompt, "Windows was unable to complete the disk check."
I'm not sure if this matters, but the computer was not used for 2 years from 2009-2011, as I was out of the country. After I got it running again and ran updates, it seemed to be working just fine until I recently discovered this issue with McAfee.
I bought my HP envy 15 about a month ago and originally simplepass was unresponsive it worked perfectly until I installed software (Solidworks). Now the fingerprint scanner lights up on login etc but doesn't recognise the swipe. When I try to open simplepass itself, I press 'Get started' and it starts to load drivers but then disappears. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but my pc had a fit when I restarted and repeatedly restarted for about half an hour saying something went wrong. Eventually I had to take the battery out and the computer gave me to option to reset. Now I'm afraid to change any software myself incase anything goes wrong.
I'm using aspire E1-510. I run two windows os on my system; win 8.1 and win 7. When I'm running win 7, my USB ports dont work. That's, if I plug my flash drive or any external device, it doesn't work. But when I run win 8.1, they all work well. What do I do so that my USB ports can as well work on win 7?
Secondly, is it safe to install Norton Internet Security on both OS?
I've downgraded from pre-installed Windows 8.1 64-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, but Ethernet/Wireless not functioning, and no drivers for some devices.I tried the Realtek driver installer from HP website (SP65599.exe), but no go.
I'm experiencing problems with a Lenovo Laptop. I cannot log into Windows because the keyboard is not functioning as normal. The 'H' button is operating as a backspace for example and because I cannot see what I'm typing in the password bar, I don't know which keys are what. Only some keys produce characters and when typing other keys the system just beeps. I had this problem yesterday and I fixed it by holding the FN button and F4 or F7, I think it was F7 but now the same combination isn't working.
Trying to figure out if this is a warrenty issue or some wacky setting that I have somehow turned on.
When I hit the spacebar, it is always preceded with the a press of the right arrow. When I press the right arrow, it is followed by a spacebar. Thus I get a kinda cool effect when I edit put the cursor in the middle of a string and hold down space bar such as: "And in the mi d d l e I w i l l s p a c e ."
My wife just updated her G580 with the Windows 8.1 update. Afterwards, the keyboard does not function - no keys respond when trying to sign into the computer, the touch pad does not work (USB mouse does), even the Onekey Rescue System button does not work. The only thing that seems to work is the power button.
I restarted the computer and held down the F2 key and was able to get into the Setup Utility where the keys did function (arrow keys, F1, F2, esc, enter). I didn't see anything obvious to me that might work. Exiting the utility and back at the sign on screen the keys don't function again.
what might be the cause or a way to recover the keyboard?
Running in extended desktop mode with my external monitor as the primary, the touch works as input on the laptop but the pen does not. When I put the pen to the screen of the tablet the pen icon appears on the external monitor screen only. I have gone to the Tablet PC Settings Setup to set up the pen (and hit "Enter" to change the screen for the input) but touching the pen to the Lenovo screen does nothing to set this option.
I feel if the touch screen will work in extended desktop mode, then the pen should and that I'm just missing something.I'm upgrading from the X60 and the workaround that I used for that tablet was to have two presets - one for extended desktop for the external monitor for everyday use and one for the laptop screen only for when I needed to use the tablet function while docked. That was a good workaround (although I would see the BSoD on a fairly regular basis) but I was hoping for more with the X220.

i upgraded from Windows 7 Home premium to Windows 8 pro . Eversince, my AMD radeon HD 7400M series graphic card is not functioning. Further , bluetooth is also not functioning .
I have Acer Aspire 5810TZ-4433 (Model MS2272) laptop unit. The HDMI connection to my TV functioned correctly until yesterday when it will no longer show the desktop icons or live internet connections on my TV screen. I have wallpaper which shows (The MS wolf theme that is included in the Win 7 Pro OS) just fine but no desktop icon overlays nor will it show the live internet windows.
The laptop itself appears to be functioning normally. For some reason the HDMI cable is not carrying the other digital data to my TV screen.
In summary: Laptop screen shows all the icons on the desktop with them overlaying the "wolf" wallpaper background. I have normal functioning of the computer when I click on these icons.
TV screen: Shows only the 'wolf" wallpaper background. No other information is viewable on the TV
I have tried using different HDMI inputs on the TV using several different HDMI cables all without success. To my knowledge there has been no damage to the laptop's HDMI output connector.
