HP/Compaq :: Light Area On LCD When Viewed At An Angle

Dec 19, 2009

When I look at my notebook's screen at an angle, an area at the bottom of the screen looks to be visibly lighter than the rest of the screen. There is also a small spot at the bottom of the screen that always looks lighter than the rest. Is this kind of thing considered relatively normal for an LCD?

HP/Compaq :: Is It Possible To Run A DV9500 With The Harddrive In The 2nd Area

Sep 1, 2009

Looking at one drive, in both areas area 1 is always significantly hotter than area 2's. A 15 C increase.

Is it possible to set a single harddrive in the 2nd HDD area (farther away from the CPU and GPU that are causing all the heat), with the 1st area empty?

I tried simply moving it from area 1 to area 2, and it said it couldn't find the OS. Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

HP/Compaq :: Vibration In Wristpad Area OfMini 1030NR

Apr 16, 2009

Just received my HP Mini 1030NR and love the way it looks, size, everything..EXCEPT....that I have noticed a distinct vibration in the wristpad area on both sides.

As I was adding anti-virus and tweaking as I usually do, I noticed this vibration and wonder if this is an issue with SSD-based laptops.

HP Split X2 Lockups :: Adjust Screen To Angle Where Power Button Will Turn It On?

Aug 1, 2014

I bought this HP Split X2 about two months ago.  When I am working on it, if I move and the screen moves ever so slightly back and forth, it will completely shut down.  I have to adjust the screen to a angle where the power button will turn it on.

Dell Precision M6800 :: Screen Blue Tinge Washed Out Bad Viewing Angle

Jul 22, 2014

I own a M6700 and have had a few problems with it so Dell upgraded me to an M6800. Problem is that my M6700 had an IPS screen and this feature is no longer available with the M6800 so I reluctantly opted for the matt 1920x1080. I currently have both machines while I transfer data etc so I did some comparison photos comparing the screen quality.M6800 on the LEFT (matt standard) and the M6700 on the RIGHT (IPS)I am really disappointed with the quality of the M6800 screen (matt 1920 x 1080). I can't believe this standard is acceptable.

I mean this is a high spec laptop and Dell offer a screen this bad? The viewing angle is almost unusable. Left to right angle - not so bad, but up and down is so bad that I have to constantly move my head up and down to get an understanding of the colours on my screen. Everything thing is washed out and lacks vibrancy with a blue tinge through it.

Dell Inspiron 15 N5040 :: Fuzzy Lines Across Screen Like Straight Sunrays At An Angle

Apr 11, 2013

I have an Inspiron 15 Intel N5040 I purchased 10 months ago.  I am noticing that on photographs (like my screensaver background) there are fuzzy lines across the screen kind of like straight sunrays at an angle.  The problem is, my prior Inspiron had the same problem after about 16 months and the end result was an unusable laptop because the screen went out completely.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Switches Sleeping Mode When Opening Angle Greater Than 40 Degrees

Feb 24, 2010

When you open the machine to boot, I must open in the corner from 0-40 degrees. I have to slid hand to press the Power button, the computer boots normally into Windows 7. Then:

- When I open angle greater than 40 degrees (40-180 degrees), the machine switches to sleeping.
- When closed off the screen in less than 40 degree angle, the machine is turned on (switch to normal working mode)

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X201 Display Only Work At Certain Angle Or When Apply Slight Pressure On Certain Part Of Screen

Oct 27, 2014

Okay so i probaly have the weirdest problem ever with this laptop, so the issue started when the display stopped working properly and would only work at a certain angle or when u would apply slight pressure on a certain part of the screen, faulty monitor correct?wrong. When i uninstalled the intel gpu drivers and reverted back to the standard microsoft display adapter all these problems disappeared, screen would work at all angles and the display would have no issues, so that sums out the possibility of the monitor being faulty. The display starts having these issues everytime the intel display drivers are installed, it just blows my mind how this is even a thing. The screen flickers twice and turns off after windows is done booting when the intel drivers are installed and works perfectly without them.

HP Pavilion Dv6 3134nr Recovery :: Caps Light Blinking And Orange Light On Wireless Key

Nov 16, 2014

My first month with this brand new notebook was problems it gave me a blue screen and shut down on me. I thought it was normal being that it was my very first notebook. My hp pavilion notebook is only 3 years old but it now it has a blinking caps light and a orange light on the wireless key. I have tried to hard reset it but nothing works. I was use to it shutting down on me and restarting again but this time it would not come back on. I call Hp tech and now I'm being told this computer is obsolete and can't be fixed.

Model: Dv6-3134nr

Dell Latitude E6510 :: Will Not Start / Power Light Goes On Briefly / Battery Light Flashes

Oct 24, 2011

I have a Latitude E6510 that will not start.  When pressing the power button, the power light goes on for about 5 seconds and then turns off.  I also notice the battery light flashes a few times when re-connecting the AC adapter.

Removed the battery, held in the power button 30 seconds, but still not working.

We have had this laptop about 6 months.  About a month ago, it exhibited this problem.  After talking to Dell Support, they recommended a system board replacement.  The laptop was sent in and the board was replaced.  When I got it back and tried to start it for the first time, it did the same thing.  I then pressed the Latitude "ON" button, and the laptop started.

Now it is doing the same thing, and I find it hard to believe that another system board is bad.  I am suspicious about this "ON" feature, that maybe the laptop is "stuck" or something trying to get into the "ON" mode.  Or maybe it is just trying to get into "ON" mode. 

I am not sure what the "ON" feature does, but I have noticed a few other posts on the internet of users having the exact same problem.  Again--I find it hard to believe a second system board could be bad.

Acer :: Viewing Angle Seems "off" On Aspire 7740

Apr 17, 2010

I just bought an Acer Aspire 7740-5691. I really like it a lot, but the screen appears a little "washed out". The problem is that the screen can only be pushed back to an angle of about 30 degrees. The unit is designed so the screen can't be pushed back any further than that. If I put something underneath the front of the laptop to tilt the whole unit back, the screen looks nice with good color saturation.

My previous laptop (also an Acer) had a screen that would go all the way down to 180 degrees so that the unit would be flat. It was possible to adjust the screen angle to suit anyone.

I don't want to return the unit (14 day return policy at Staples), but this is going to bother me too much if I keep it. I have tried to adjust the color controls, including the gamma, contrast, brightness, but the problem is the angle of the screen.

Are all of them going to be like this, or is this some type of manufacturing defect that might not exist in other units?

Dell :: Area-51 Alienware Desktop Delayed

Feb 11, 2010

So I ordered my Alienware Area-51 with a bunch of upgrades totaling at something like $5000 on January 22nd. It has been in the "In Production" stage for a while and today they sent me an email saying the delivery date was changed to February 23rd. It was initially supposed to be shipped by February 16th.

So I'm wondering if "In Production" means they have actually started building the computer, or if there is a chance they are still processing payment information. Is there any chance they haven't confirmed the payment at this point, I would consider canceling the order.

Secondly, when Dell gives you a delayed ETA, how often do they delay the system from arriving further? I'm worried that a week and a half from now I will get another email saying I won't be getting my system until March.

Dell :: Studio 15 Surface Area To Soft?

Mar 7, 2009

I went to Best Buy to look at a Studio 15 model. I noticed the surface around the mousepad where you rest your wrists....

It was warm and it felt really soft...almost a bit sticky soft. Is that because of the clear finish?

I'd rather have a smooth surface than a soft one that feels like the smushy like varnish hasn't completely dry. Could this have been an anomily or would my model be like this if I bought one?

Dell :: Studio 1555 Touchpad Area Over Getting Too Hot

Apr 25, 2009

I bought DELL Studio 1555 last month.

I immediately noticed after working sometimes the touchpad area,specially the right hand top corner becomes alarmingly hot and I feel burning sensation on my finger tips.

It is the area where WLAN.WPAN,WI-LAN are present.There is also an Intel chipset,perhaps IO controller.

I immediately called DELL technical support and they sent me the DELL engineer.After monitoring the system for sometimes he decided to replace the motherboard,heat sink,fan assembly and thermal pad.

After replacement I am finding the scenario haven't changed and this time along with touchpad the mid area of keyboard is also getting warm.

Dell XPS 15z :: Not Turning On / Battery Light Does Not Light Up

Apr 6, 2013

I have had my xps 15z just nearly two years (out of warranty) an today it won't turn on. The battery light does not light up and neither does the light to indicate if it is charging, when I press the on button nothing at all happens. The green light on the plug transformer is on until you plug it into the laptop when it immediately deilluminates. I am trying to establish if this is an issue with the plug or the laptop hardware, I could not find a solution and I only have my phone to look on now my laptop has died.

Moreover I am very annoyed with the quality of this range topping machine, when it first came the hard drive had to be replaced, the dell rep who fixed it managed to break the battery indicator lights which I had to take it apart to fix. When you consider the wireless issues, the focus losing problems which made it impossible to type until I found which dell programme to uninstall to fix and the crackling speaker issue which I still not found a solution for, this is not good enough.

Dell :: E6500 Flex In Wrist Rest Area?

Mar 21, 2009

I'm currently evaluating a studio 17 which I am considering returning for a E6500 hoping that the business class machine will have a more robust build.

This studio 17 exhibits flex in the keyboard on the right side near the enter key and the number pad, and I am given to understand that the latitude keyboard is much better in that regard.

However, videos like this one depicting flex in the wrist rest and the bezel around the screen are a little discerning.

HP/Compaq :: Dv5t Mute Light

Feb 18, 2010

I've been having this problem ever since I upgraded to Windows 7.

Even when the computer isn't muted, the light is orange, and doesn't change when I touch the button.

I have all the latest updates from the HP website and I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. Its not really a big deal for me, but it's just annoying.

While the computer is booting up, the mute light is white, but after Windows loads, it turns to orange.

1. Has this happened to anybody?
2. Do you think I broke anything?

Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 :: System Get Heating Up Around Touchpad Area

HP/Compaq :: Laptop's Screen Has No Image, But Light Is On

Mar 9, 2009

I broke the hinge of the laptop's lcd. I replace the hinge, there was a cable that was broken, I realize that cable was not related to the lcd since it was connect to the wireless network chip.

I made sure all the lcd cable are plug in the laptop motherboard.

On the back of the lcd, there was white tape and it said do not touch, I accidentally touch this by mistake. I don't know if this is really serious.

Now, the laptop does not have any picture, but the light is on, the lcd has a grayish color, its like its about to load, but no image comes up.

This issue occurred during the hinge breaking.

I hope I didn't break the lcd.

Model is dv2037us.

The laptop is fine if I hook it up to a monitor via vga port.

HP/Compaq :: Hard Drive Light Keeps Flashing

Jun 2, 2009

Anything I do on this machine, the HD lights barley goes out. It just keeps flashing. I think it is what slowing my machine down. When i am playing a game, I get laggy fps and what not and I think it is the HD slowing it downs. Even when the machine is doing nothing the HD light is solid. I ran the HP HD tests and it found no issues. My "File searching index" for vista is turned off. I have enable write chaching and enable advance proformance enabled. Any ideas? I am getting pissed off with this becasue it really laggs my system down. It is a decent system when it works right..

Dell Inspiron N5110 :: Local Internet Area Disconnecting And Reconnecting

Feb 25, 2013

I had this problem with local internet area disconnecting and reconnecting (one second it shows it is enabled, other ethernet cable is unplugged, and that keeps repeating), which was caused by Ubuntu, I highly suspect.So I updated Bios to A11 and it charmingly fixed everything.

However, problem arose again. I've installed Ubuntu again on dual boot and tried updating Nvidia drivers which did not work well and broke Ubuntu again, which caused this internet problem again on windows 7 somehow (yes, this happened for second time . But this time I can't update Bios, or overwrite it's update).

I did not expect that after bios update this would happen again. I tried downloading various drivers from dell driver support. So, is there a way to overwrite same version of Bios, or (downloading some sort of drivers i might have mist, ect.?)
