Hi,

I have DELL INSPIRON N4010 laptop which works fine.

Yesterday I using it with AC adaptor on and suddenly it turns off.   

Now when I press the power button with or without AC adaptor it won't give any response and no LED is turn on.

When I connect AC adaptor the charging LED is glow for 4 to 5 sec. and turns off. 

I also tried to hold the power button for 30-40 sec. by removing battery and AC adaptor and then reconnect battery but still, I face the same issue. 

Please, could you tell me  possible issues?

Thanks and regards,

XPS 13 9360 (Kaby Lake) Feedback

$

0

I received my XPS13 9360 with i5 KabyLake processor, 8Gb of RAM, and 256Gb SSD configuration  today and I'm impressed with it so far. I ordered a 9350 model with the (i5 SkyLake) last month but returned it to Dell for a refund due to the infamous 'noise' issue, sub-par network card performance, and intermittent speaker distortion. I really like the XPS 13 and dreaded have to send it back; I just couldn't accept the shortcomings and deficiencies considering the amount of money spent. Well, it is obviously too soon to say that there aren't any gremlins hiding and lurking in the 9360 version but I can certainly say that this particular system is working flawlessly--perfect. As far as noticeable differences in processor performance, I really can't say (or care)--I only had the 9350 for a couple of days so I have no basis to compare.  I'm not into hair-splitting or super-sonic performance and could care less about the nanosecond differences in the SkyLake and KabyLake processors. I would have been quite happy with the 9350 had it not been for the gremlins I noted. I'm not the into gamer stuff anyway--the i5 processor is quite suitable for my purposes. However, the little bugger is super fast-scary fast! I am very impressed with the new Killer network card, too. Man, the thing is truly awesome; it is very stable with excellent range (throughout our two-story home). Lastly, the laptop shipped to me is dead quite--except for very subtle fan noise when the processor is under load. The bottom line is that I am quite pleased so far. This is all the feedback I have on day one and will post a follow-up later, whether good or bad. Just thought I would share my thoughts with interested parties. I hope everything goes well because I really like this little laptop.

I have a fairly new laptop and the cover is peeling from the casing.  Is this covered by the warranty as I would have thought this should not be happening so soon.  The service tag is CJY4J72 and the laptop is less than a year old.

Resolution issues with Windows 8.1

I just switched my HDD to an SSD and re-downloaded Windows 8.1 and I am having issues with my resolution.

It only gives me 2 options for resolution, 3200 x 1800 and 1024 x 768 (which it says is recommended). When I switch it to 3200 x 1800, everything is tiny.

Where did my (3840 x 2160) resolution go? Why isnt' that an option? Any ideas on how to fix this?

I am looking for the hard drive screws (not the caddy screws) that hold the caddy+hdd assembly securely with the chasis. I ordered from Ebay a couple of times and they send me everything but the 3 hard drive screws that I need. Where can I find them? What is the part name/number? Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Dell XPS 13 L22X not charging

$

Hi all,

I've had a Dell XPS 13 L22X for around 6 months now. I bought it second hand off eBay and it has worked fine for the last few months. Today however, I got the plugged in, not charging problem. I've tried the most common fixes, such as deleting and reinstalling the Driver, checking the BIOS etc but all to no avail. I took it to a local IT shop who tried a different charger, non-official one and it worked fine with it, charged the laptop up as usual. My question is could it have been just the charger not working correctly and therefore not charging? It doesn't show any signs of wear and tear, there's no cuts etc. and the brick seems fine on the outside. Does anyone know whether the charger has reached the end of its life and is therefore in need of a replacement, or is this just a temporary fix and I'll need more substantial repairs at some point in the future?

Thanks.

Hi,

I received a Dell Inspiron 2in1 laptop that can also be a tablet and I'm looking for the best option for a stylus. I have a regular one, but I am at college and would really like to be able to take notes on it so I am looking for a fine point pen stylus that works with the touchscreen on my laptop. Do you know which one would be the best option for me? Please let me know.

New Alienware 15 Laptops description incorrect???

$

Hi,


Not sure where to send this but I was just reviewing your Alienware 15 systems to purchase a new system for myself here

http://www.dell.com/p/alienware-15-laptop/pd.aspx?c=ie&cs=iedhs1&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn

and noticed typos for the 1st two systems regarding the graphics cards, it states "NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 with 8GB GDDR5X", they are in fact only 6GB and should not have the "X" in GDDR5X. Just thought I would bring this to your attention as it was causing me great confusion and much time researching when shopping for a new system and will need to be updated/changed. Also while I have you could you advise me if Dell has a loyalty program available?

Cheers,
Graeme


Dell battery not detected in BIOS, meter shows 100% charged

My Inspiron 17R just had a Windows 10 update.  Immediately afterward (by coincidence or ??), the battery would not function.  If I do not have the adapter connected, it is dead.  According to the BIOS, it is not a Dell battery.  Well, yes it is, original to the machine.  Meanwhile, the battery meter shows at 100% and plugged in.

Any ideas?

New Laptop

Just bought a new Dell Laptop, not a refurbished laptop a new one. The day I opened the box and turned it on it had serious problems. After talking to the service people they said I should send it in for "repair". Shouldn't I get a new laptop if the new one I just purchased and paid $800. for stops working? I am not purchasing a repaired laptop I am buying a new laptop.

XPS 14 (L421x) Qualcom Killer wireless misery....

$

Had to do a reformat and Win7 64 bit reinstall.  Everything fine but the wireless.  Seems like when I first got this there issues with the Qualcomm Killer wireless.  From my specific downloads page for my system I downloaded the 2 network drivers:

Qualcomm Killer 1202 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver

 View details     File Name: Network_Driver_HXG7Y_WN_1.0.35.1064_A02.EXE

Realtek RTL8111F Ethernet Controller Driver

 View details  File Name: Network_Driver_26MJ5_WN_7.049.0927.2011_A01.EXE
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/servicetag/31T6TZ1/drivers
Here is what I got:
  1. With both drivers successfully installed I have the 4 network items in device manager with no yellow exclamation marks: Bluetooth (PAN), Bluetooth (RFCOMM), Atheros Quallcom Wifi 1202, and Realtek Lan.

  2. Wireless networks appear, none will connect.

  3. Plug in LAN cable and the wireless icon in system tray never switches over the the LAN icon.  Lan seems disabled.  Also shows LAN red x in Netowrk Sharing.

  4. Using the Fn+Wifi turns off Bluetooth, removes both BT from Device manager, but doesnt affect wifi.

Way messed up drivers....  all thoughts welcome.
