I have a 2 month old outlet E6500, with the wxga+ led screen and nvidia graphics. I opened my laptop today- and the screen won't light! the laptop is running, the screen is on, but there's absoulotly no backlight.
I searched the web, restarted, played with all possible light settings
I recently upgraded the video driver on my m1210 and now when I have the lid closed the lcd will randomly turn on and stay on.
I didn't have this problem before I updated the display driver. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix for it?
I have laptop listed above. For the past 3 days I hasn't not been able to get it in. it sounds like its starting but the screen stays black. Recently installed antivirus on 01/01/2012 because I had some kind of worm/malware. Windows 7 is the OS. Cap lock light is on and "hp combo assistant" light is on constant no blinking. Don't know what to do.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe display on our E6500 fluctuates constantly from bright to dim. This does not happen when we have it in the docking station which has a monitor attached to it.
Does this have anthing to do with the Ambient Light Sensor? I did go into it and changed the brightness a while back to highest setting, and today I went in and turned the Ambient Light Sensor off.
I'm very close to buying a Latitude E6400 or E6500, but I have a few questions before I pull the trigger. I'm hoping that a few E6400 and E6500 users can help me out...
1- Displays- are they all matte finish or ??? If I go with the E6500, I definitely want the WXGA+ (1440x900) LED-backlit option, but I'm thinking WXGA or WXGA+ (LED-backlit) will do on the smaller E6400.
2- Color choices- I know that Regal Red and Regatta Blue are offered in addition the standard Brushed Metal Black finish. Other than the tiny photos shown on the Product Details page as representations of each color, I can't seem to find any larger photos of the Red or Blue models! Is it a glossy or more of a matte/flat finish.....or should I just stick with the Brushed Metal Black?
3- Which size- 14.1" (E6400) or 15.4" (E6500)? The lighter weight and smaller dimensions of the E6400 are very appealing. I'm just wondering if there are any significant benefits that the E6500 would provide over the E6400 (other than the availability of a WUXGA display)?
4- Thermal Management- The reviews I've seen were models with the P8400 processor and integrated graphics. Heat management was very good on those configurations. Does that hold true for models wity T9400/T9600 processsor and the nVIDIA graphics card? Is fan noise ever a problem?
I have an e6500 with an Nvidia graphics card. I'm running Win7 with all current drivers, including the latest graphics card driver.
Today, while doing nothing particularly graphics-intensive--I was just surfing the Web, writing documents--the display repeatedly flashed to black, then went back to normal...........................
My dell e1705 has been having this problem for one year: The screen does not turn on on startup!

Bought a 2nd harddrive caddy /modular bay for my M4400 laptop,installed the SATA seagate harddrive,but Windows Explorer doesn't show the new harddrive.In my task bar it appears as new hardware.

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy 2 year old m1330 no warrenty just 'crashed' two times within 1 hour.
Both times, there are black screen with small boxes (1 x1 ") of like green and grey colors. No vertical lines.
What does this mean?
I just changed hard drives.
would this be a video card failure, hdd failure?
Hitting Fn and the Keyboard back light button will Cycle the settings, Off, Dim, Bright.
But they use to turn off after about a minute of no use. Now they will stay on indefinitely. I wonder what could be causing this since I have not done anything to the system.
When I set the Power options to have the Screen turn off after a Minute the screen dims and turns off, But the Keyboard remains Lit.
I would like to purchase a Z590 which is currently configured with a SSD Raid of 60GBX2
I was hoping I could break the raid configuration and use one SSD for OS and other for data.
But 60gb for data might be less. Can I replace both SSDs with
1 2.5" SSD and 1 250 GB standard SATA notebook hard drive
I have a Studio 1555
I have a core 2 duo processor with 2.4ghz each core.
But for some reason speedstep works correctly and then randomly out of the blue it will throttle down to around 800Mhz and just STAY there, no matter what settings I've put, no matter if it's plugged in or not and no matter if I NEED more power.
Is this by design? I never noticed it before, and I'm wondering if it's always been that way, or if something has recently gone wrong.
I have it set not to go to standby or anything when I close the lid, but it seems like it should still turn the backlight off to conserve battery.
I have a problem with my brand new Dell Inspiron 15R SE, that I bought yesterday.
In the evening I could use it with no problem, other than it unexpectedly disconnected from the wifi once, but otherwise it was OK.
This morning it didn't start at all, when I press power button the Dell logo appears, and it stays like that forever, nothing happens. The power and the Wifi LEDs are on, when the charger is connected, the LED is on too.
Tried to remove battery, but still no joy.
I had to uninstall the current driver. After this it auto installed the old ati driver.
I uninstalled this one as well leaving me with the bare bones driver that comes with windows. After installing the modded driver again and restarting it began to work again................................................
We have a Dell Refurbished Inspiron M5010 for about a year. All of a sudden the battery is recognized but will not charge. It says it's plugged in and charging; but stays at 0%?
View 6 Replies View RelatedNo matter how many times i restart the labtop, it will first go black screen with dell log, then "resuming windows", then goes to the "logging off.." screen and stays there FOREVER. I tried to use both battery or AC power but they are just the same. I can adjust the lightness of screen using my keyboard but I cant see my mouse pointer anywhere on the screen so i cant click on anything.

Recently, my Blackbook has had some troubles when I close the lid. What happens is the light never starts pulsing, and the laptop gets really warm and the fan goes crazy. When I open the lid, the screen stays black. When I reboot it, It shows the grey screen, goes black for a sec, then restarts. I tried reseting the pram, but it didnt help.

View 3 Replies View RelatedLaptop was working fine up until yesterday. Then this happened...
1. Pressed the power button to turn on the laptop
2.the fans run and the computer makes its usual whirring noises as it would normally do whilst booting up.
3.the screen however remains completely inactive. As if the laptop is off.
4. I turned it off and on again several times. Once it came on and worked as normal, I could access all files and backup everything.
5. This morning I turned it back on and it has done the same thing. Makes the sounds as normal but screen is inactive.
I have turned off and on again and connected an HDMI cable to an external screen but there is no signal.
I have an Acer Aspire 5630 and the USB ports do not go off when Windows is shutdown, hibernating or when it goes into slleep (standby) mode. They only go off when I disconnect the AC power. I just bought an external USB drive as my internal is almost full, but I don't want to have the external drive on 24/7. Disconnecting the drive is a bit inconvenient as I use the laptop with an external display and keyboard and keep the laptop itself hidden behind my desk. I updated the BIOS to Ver. 3.60, but I don't see settings in the BIOS for USB ports. Can these ports be turn off programatically. Do I need a special Acer Application or drivers to turn off the USB ports? I removed all the Acer Management bloatware that came with the laptop. Are there any jumpers inside the laptop that need to be changed?

I have tried to download and install drivers from the hp website. NOTHING seems to work. I even tried to download the HP Wireless Assistant Support Wizard, but it doesn't work. It keeps saying that the Wireless Assistant is not compatible with my model.
Every time I troubleshoot, I keep getting the following message "Install a driver for your network adapter"....
