I own a Dell Inspiron 3521, and I'd been having an issue with apps not opening and closing when I do try. I went to fix this error. That's when I made a grave mistake. Somewhere along the line of me trying to fix it, I messed with something I shouldn't have and when I finished with my task, I was told to restart the computer to activate the settings. After I turned it back on it seemed normal up to the point after I saw the dell logo. It went black. At first I made the assumption that since I changed settings that it was still trying to configure them. But soon after, I saw my mouse and a little signal flash in the bottom left of my screen. So I checked around and found out that I needed to reinstall windows with disc or USB. But I don't have access to either of those.

One time I got to the safe mode screen by hitting F8 but now that is not engaging either. I removed the RAM and cleaned them well. I also tried removing any left over power static by pressing power for about a minute. I do not have any cds for this machine since it was given to me used and it has worked fine for months until i recently removed a virus called DOS....

I think it's problem with LCD cable, but warranty period has timed out.
I lost the screws that hold the door of the memory compartment. Do you guys know where I can buy them? I'm a perfectionist. I prefer the same kind/colour of screws that Dell uses. Can I buy them from any hardware stores?

Thus, I guess that the technicial forgot to connect the camera cable on my mtherboard. Does anybody know how I can connect it? Owner's manual doesn't mention anything about the camera...
I have tried to install the drivers and the support software but then when I run Dell Webcam Center I get the message "No supported webcamera detected. Please plug in to continue..."
I have not been able to exceed 100mbps speeds even with DIR-655 and DIR-825 on my M1330 with Intel 4965.
Opening the laptop I notice I do NOT have a gray wire!
I have 1 Black, 1 White, 1 Black/Gray Strip, 1 White/Gray Strip and one BLUE...
I checked the M1330 Manual there is no mention of a BLUE wire anywhere...
1) Anyone know what this blue wire is for? and Why I dont have a gray wire?
2) Should I move the 4965 (blue wire too short) and connect blue where in the gray wire is suppose to go?
I have an LED Screen ....
I have a Dell XPS M1330 laptop I use extensively. Its been reliable and quick. Im receiving blue screens twice per day and have had drivers reinstalled by a support company to no avail. Ive run basics diagnostics with no issues. How can I troubleshoot this?

it will hang there for 40 seconds then a blue screen will appear saying..
I formatted and did a fresh install of windows 7 RC x64. All devices were discovered.
I was having issues with the touchpad not responding after every other reboot so I installed the vista x64 driver from dell website. That resolved that issue.
Now I have been having constant blue screen 9f bccode crashes while the laptop is sleeping. When I open the lid I need to power on and it says windows shutdown unexpectedly
i sometimes connect my notebook to the tv and watch films while doing something else at the same time. I tried Nvidias Dualview and Presentation Mode through the Fn+F8 key. But every time i want to watch just the tv and i close the lid - the dualview function turns off and the tv becomes the primary screen. But it gets worse - when i open the lid, the TV is still primary and the laptop lcd becomes the extended desktop.
I have E1705 and I use the 169.04 drivers and I ask you for help - is there any way to make the close lid event only turn off the backlight, without messing up the whole screen settings?
I have used the search, and this is the same issue as many others have described, and only provided an answer for Nvidia drivers.
I have an e1505 with XP pro installed. The video cardis ati mobility x1400. I have all but the trackpad drivers installed. Quickset is installed as well. The problem is when I close the lid of the laptop. The screen seems to resize and keep the icons at a lower resolution position. If I restart the computer, the icons loose the position and go into a standard grid on the left side of the screen. I can manually restart explorer through task manager. If I do this before i restart, the icons go back to a normal, non changed position. After restart, there is no change.
This issue only started after I plugged in an external monitor for the first time.
I have turned off quickset, and reinstalled the ATI drivers.
I have a new Dell Studio 1737.
When I close the top down and open it later,
usually the unlock screen appears and I can go back to doing whatever I was doing.
Sometimes there is only a blank screen and I can't do anything but unplug it and remove the battery so it'll start up again.
Should I be closing the top down or not?
And why doesn't it always start back up when I open it?
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................................................
I am trying to see what might be wrong with the Dell Latitude 2110. When I close the lid power shuts off. You can not turn it back on unless you take out the batter and power supply then plug it back in. The power settings in windows xp are all to never shut off. I also replaced the power jack and it did not change. I did a dell test and it gave me a error 2000-0412 auxilary lcd cable not detected error 0412 and error 0411 lcd board not detected error code 2000-0411. I have a display and everything just have the power problem when shutting the lid.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I need to take my laptop to class, I always close the lid of the laptop, wait for the fans to turn off, unplug the magsafe and put in in my backpack.
When i get my laptop from my bag, the computer is vibrating (its on) and its burning.
how can I change the notebook's settings so when I close the lid it does not hibernate or sleep or whatnot? Is there a way to make it so it just turns off the screen and leaves everything else on?
View 10 Replies View RelatedOnly way to restart is to press down the power button.
I've already tried several things (BIOS, video driver replacement) unsuccessfully.
My Dell N5110 has started not stutting down completely although it looks like it has shut down the power light is still on and I have to press the power light for about 10 sec to get it to go off. Also if I am working on the laptop and just shut the lid it won't wake up when I open the lid Have tried pushing every button but nothing happens Have to press the power button to shut down and then restart. I have changed all the power settings many times but nothing fixes the problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to repair a G6 model due to heat issues. The laptop is approx. 1 year old. From what I could read from the internet, It's due to dust build up mainly. 've completely cleaned the fan (incl. unmounting the fan cover), and change thermal paste on the CPU. The issue persists. With the program Speccy I read starting temps. for CPU of 90 degrees celsius. It's very different when the laptop shuts down. Sometimes it happens quick, other times it can run for hours. Even if the CPU is completely cold, it can shut down before windows even starts properly up. I manage to see temperatures over 150 degrees celsius which should be alarming high. Even 90 degrees seems VERY high to me. The air blown out from the fan doesn't seem hot. It's only mildly warm and the fan speed adjusts in accordance to the temperature. It starts to go up when going over 100 degrees. At 90-99 degrees it runs fairly slow.
If I try going to the BIOS, I only have seconds in there before the laptop shut down.
From my point of view, it must me either temperature sensors not working properly, or handling of the temperature sensors that's misinterpret, or simply the cooling system that's defect. I'm not sure how the cooling system works. The seating has a cobber pipe the leads to the radiator and fan. Does the pipe contain a fluid? Could the fluid somehow have vaporized?
I've had the cooling system dismounted? I haven't tried updating the BIOS, since I'm afraid I'll brick the laptop, if it shut down during the process.
Where is the temperature sensors placed on the board? Is the sensor for the CPU built in or is it placed besides/under it?
the empty hole next to the clip where i clips the screen when you close it. To my guess is a 5-1 reader because i also have a modem port . My question is , is it normal that there is an empty hole with no casing inside? I mean there isn't a casing like for sd card or something , just an empty hole . What can i use it for since there is no casing for sd card? This is a picture i found from google.URL....

I am using Dell inspiron 15R laptop. Suddenly my DVD drive is not opening. I have inserted a DVD which I think got corrupted and from then on my DVD drive is not opening. Unfortunately, I am not able to even eject the DVD out. Whenever I right-click on Drive (E) for ejecting it is taking a lot of time and system is getting struck. I wonder this laptop has got an eject button on the DVD drive, as I never got an opportunity to try that way.

When using any program in desktop mode (first noticed it on Chrome, then Quicken, but really applies to any use), the cursor will randomly jump across the screen, usually to the upper right, and then without clicking, will close the window I'm working on, often losing my work. Sometimes I'll get random right-click menus without clicking the mouse buttons. I am using the track-point primarily, so thinking it might be inadvertent contact with the touchpad, I disabled all touch-pad functionality, but the problem persists.
I ran Norton Internet security, AdAware, and Malwarebytes to look for viruses but didn't find any problems. Just ran Lenovo update, and downloaded the most recent Ultra-Nav Driver. Now both touch-pad and track-point are using default settings, but the problem still persists.
I'm wondering if this a hardware or driver problem, or a windows 8.1 problem?
My brand new XPS15 9530 has been having the same problem since I received it. Randomly (but usually after several hours of being closed) the notebook does not wake up when I open the lid.
I have removed the Intel wifi and bluetooth drivers, but the issue remains.
I have reset the power profile and the issue remains
