View 16 RepliesHi I am new to this Forum and new to laptops I have just purchased this machine, DELL STUDIO XPS M1640 Core 2 Duo 2.93GHz ,500GB,
4GB I got it new on ebay. It arrived today and everything is fine except it won't eject CD's using the highlighted touch button.
I have to go into computer and eject from there.
The machine is running Vista Ultimate. I have contacted Dell and I have to transfer the machine to my name and extend the warranty before they can help. I thought I would ask here first

But I have a problem with ejecting my ultrabay harddisk using "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject media" icon.
I installed the lastest Intel Rapid storage driver (RST) ver. 12.8.10.1005 from Lenovo download.
Ultrabay harddisk not in the list using Lenovo RST driver!
If I use the native Win7 driver (Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller) it works:
Works fine using native driver.
I assume the Intel RST driver might have some improvement to the native driver.....so I would frefer using that.
This is how it looks like in the Device Manager:
Intel RST driver:
Win7 x64 native driver:
I received my Dell Studio 1737 only a few hours ago and the immediate problem I've found is that Fn+F10 and the eject soft touch button don't eject a CD whilst in Vista. They work fine in the BIOS or Diagnostics Utility but don't work when the machine boots up into Vista.
BIOS is showing as A04 and the latest available on the Dell Drivers website is A02
I recently purchased the studio xps 16 and did a clean install.
Every one of the touch buttons works like the sound buttons, but for some reason the eject button will not respond, and i have to go to my computer to eject a disc every time.
What was also missing was that when i adjusted the volume level, no bar would come up on my screen showing me what level it was at. Although minor problems, I was wondering if it is possibly a driver that i haven't downloaded?
I just bought new laptop Studio 1555 and eject key never works, now if i need to eject the CD i have to goto my computer right click on CD drive and eject,
i try to connect dell support but no luck, why this eject key not working ? is that a hardware issue or something to do with window 7 ?
I had to re-install Windows 7 64bit after forgetting the password and after I installed all of the drivers everything except for the EJECT BUTTON seems to be working. I thought it worked the fist few days after the install but maybe Windows updated something and now it doesn't work. I went to the driver section and tried reinstalling the 7W7T4 driver package and that didn't fix anything. When I tried to follow the Dell "proper order for installing the drivers" page the drivers it says to install first aren't available for my computer. It appears that there are lots of XPS 14z and 15z users that have had issues with the eject function. Fr the time being I'm having to right click on my D: drive and click eject to get the CD/DVD's out.

I have to go into My Computer, and right click ...and then eject it that way. Anyone know of a way to get the eject buttons to work? Should be able to use one of the eject buttons.
Note: I did try the holding the power button if for 30 seconds, and then rebooted. This didn't work for me.
2. Brightness - what FN + ? key adjusts the brightness of the screen? When the AC cord is plugged in, it's bright. When I disconnect it, it dims. I'd like to adjust the brightness to where the screen is the same brightness when it's on either AC or Battery.
I recently updated my OS to Windows 8 but the Eject key on the keyboard doesn't work. I thought the problem would be solved by installing QuickSet but still the same. All other media keys (change display, wifi, battery, brightness, mute, volume etc) are working perfectly except the eject button.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've had my Studio 1555 for awhile now, and all is has been pretty fine. However, I just noticed that my eject button for the disc drive has stopped working. I rarely use it, but I have used it before.
I upgraded my bios today from A06 to A08 and went to install my new bluetooth mouse, and the eject button just does not respond at all. I can eject the disc from my computer > right clicking the drive and selecting "eject" so it's definitely the button.
I'm not sure if this is related to the bios upgrade or something else.. Computer spec's are in my signature and I'm running Windows 7 Professional, clean install.
My problem is that when you turn on the laptop. My monitor shows no signs nor there is activity on the hard disk. I tried to remove the ram,hdd,bios battery,connect it to a tv with hdmi and still no sign of life.
I think it may be corrupt bios. Steps?
I'm thinking on using my MBA as my main computer, therefore I'm considering buying the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and the Mighty Mouse and hooking up to my HP Monitor for when I'm at my desk for long periods.
It's very easy to hook up ... this MBA seems quick enough and a usb hub can be added if need be ... why not use it as a main pc?
Further, the only windows app I'm really going to miss is Publisher, I'm thinking on being daring and installing Vista on the Mac with Bootcamp and then run Publisher in Windows. If that worked well I could get rid of the T500... (I have a desktop I could use for heavier app's, movie/music downloading) ...
Seems like a lot of work for such a small little machine, lol, can it handle it? Has anyone there done this before with success?
I have an HP Pavilion g6t Select. How do I set up my notebook to run as a basic desktop, i.e. with the cover closed and an external mouse, keyboard, & monitor?

I have a timeline 4810T which has worked lovely since September, but now I have a weird problem with it: The keyboard won't work until the operating system is loaded. I can't access the bios (press the F2 key but nothing happens), neither select my OS on the Grub menu as the arrow keys doesn't work, all I can do is wait for the 10 seconds timer, then Ubuntu launches, then I can login without problems and all the keys work perfectly.
To give more details, maybe some keys do actually work before the os boot, because when I'm on the grub menu, some keys manage to stop the timer, but unfortunately I can't change the OS or accept the selection, then I have to reboot and wait for the timer to go back to 0 for itself and ubuntu loads.
I'm running the newest BIOS, updated some days ago but didn't had the problem since today.
I have a Dell Latitude E6530 and when I plugged in my monitor and keyboard into the docking station, they were not recognized. But I can plug them into the laptop while docked and they are recognized.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got my new Z, burned the recovery disk, did a clean install of retail W7, and now wanted to go back to original factory setting. So I popped my recovery disk back in, selected "Restore Complete System", went through all the default options. Then I got "An error occurred while executing an application." at 17% into recovery, and the recovery stopped.
Did I screwed up on the recovery disk? My recovery disk is 7.90GB.
I just bought a Lenovo G500s touch and the touch-screen initially worked though I had rebooted a few times after the screen appeared to freeze. Now you cannot use the touch-screen at all...
View 9 Replies View RelatedInspiron 1300, been plugging an external monitor in & using function F8 for years but it just failed. The monitor isn't recieving the signal anymore. Tried another monitor as well. My laptop screen is lit up as always, and I can see some movement when I cntrl alt delete, but I can't read anything to see what's wrong.Is it my video card? Is that the thing I plug my VGA cord for the monitor into?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt would be easiest if I just had a camera to take a picture of it, but, alas, I do not.
I have an Acer 22" monitor that I attach via mini display --> VGA to my 13" MBP, but for some reason it isn't aligning correctly. The external monitor is set up to the right of the laptop. The native resolution of the monitor is 1680x1050, which is displaying correctly, but the entire image isn't showing up on the screen. I moved the horizontal position all the way to the 100 mark, but there is just a 1.5-2" black line going down the right side of the monitor. Also, normally if you drag an app between the laptop monitor and the external monitor it is "seamless," but right now you have to drag a little further until it shifts onto the next monitor... if that makes sense. Essentially, the whole image on the external monitor is shifted to the left about 1.5-2". The monitor seems to be fine... when I make the resolution lower, the image fills the entire screen (it's just all out of proportion and hurts my eyes).
I have tried reconnecting all the connections and resetting all the settings, but nothing is working. It's still workable right now, but it's annoying as heck.
I have hp g61 for a while, i have been maintaining really good till recent my screen went BLACK.. it was acting funny before as it stays ON after i turn of the laptop... and now it is all back cant see nothing ... the laptop works fine when i connect to external monitor..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use the Displaylink dock to connect to an external monitor, but it has suddenly stopped working. The error message said "check connections". I have done so - replaced the digital video cable between dock and monitor with a new one, cycled both dock and monitor on and off several times, but windows can not find an external display.
The Lenovo settings app has been giving me an "updating... " message for 3 days (I have raised a query on that elsewhere) so I can't use that to check out the display problem. I should say the display problem started today, and the "updating.."
I tried multiple different setting in BIOS, and am currently on
(1) Boot display device - Thinkpad LCD
(2) Graphics device - Discrete graphics
(3) OS detection for nVidia Optimus - Disabled
Shown in the screenshot is where things are wierd. With my Asus VG248HE connected via mDP to DP cable, the W530 detects the monitor, but will not allow me to enable it. When I click the white box to enable the monitor, it just thinks for a few seconds and does nothing. After the first time of thinking, it does not do anything when clicked.
can i make the partition for hard disk without formatting the disk . Laptop model is dell Inspiron N5110.
