Closed laptop lid and wifi

0
0

Hi hoping someone can help.

I want to be able to access my new dell13xps via teamviewer or similar and I want to do this with the lid shut.

This works fine (when lid closed do nothing etc) and I can log on from another PC.

Obviously if i lose the wifi signal i have lost the connection; however if the signal then comes back it does not auto connect to it, which it does with the lid open and i can no longer remotely access it.

Have noticed that although i have specified do nothing when closing the lid, it does actually seem to switch off the monitor when it gets to say within 2 inches of closing.

I need true do nothing when closing the lid as it would then pick up the wifi once available

If anyone can help would appreciate it


Unable to Upgrade RAM Vostro 3560

I went ahead and purchased 2x4GB RAM for my Vostro 3560 from Dell. I'm running Windows10 and am having difficulty to upgrade the PC with the RAM. Both the slots on the motherboard are OK as they are accepting 4gb (keeping the other slot empty). Together as well, in the system it's still showing 4gb. Pls help. I've also upgraded the BIOS.

Dell Update showing that I need to update the bios--message won't go away.

Dell Update is showing that I need to update the bios. I have updated and MSCONFIG shows that I have the latest bios (A09 from 8/29/16). If I go to the system configuration page on Dell.com it shows that the current bios is A04 from May 2015. If I go to the drivers and downloads page on Dell.com it offers to let me download version A07 from 11/2015). Why is Dell so confused and how do I get Dell update to stop bugging me?

Will this series work without a battery plugged in? One of the options to reset the Bios is to remove the battery, plug in the AC while holding down the Control Escape Keys. Without the battery the laptop never turns on.

Can anyone advise?

Thank you

Dell Inspiron 15 7000U Series Cracked Screen

0

Hi.

I have got a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series Laptop and recently my screen got cracked, I purchased it in March from Dells official eBay store and I have still got warranty on the laptop till March 2017.

The laptop has a big slash on the screen and starting from the left bottom of the screen to top middle of the screen. I can still see like 30%-40% of the screen well. But the rest I have colourful lines going on on the screen.

I contacted Dell customer support and they told me that they do NOT cover such damage and I have to pay for the repair. I tried to escalate this issue to the complaint department but I have been rejected. Long story short they sent me a quote of;

$891.00 for the parts needed and,

$165.00 for the repair, which makes it the total of $1065 in Australian Dollars.

I find that ridiculously expensive and am not willing to pay for it. The total cost of the laptop was $1,119.20.

I was wondering if anyone ha had the same issue before and if they did how they ended up resolving this issue. 

Can anyone also recommend me a solution?

Any help I appreciate it.

My laptops screen is 15.6" and 1920 X 1080 Full HD

Have to click in order to get back to the active window

Hi everybody J


I’m basically forced to click after several seconds in order to continue actively in the window that I was in. Let’s say for example, right now I’m writing in this forum, and after a few seconds is like I’m automatically out of the window and I can’t write on it. I can obviously if I click on it, but then again it happens every 30 seconds or so and it’s quite annoying.

I'm on a dell XPS 13

Thanks a lot!

Dell precision 5510 display driver issue while laptop runs without mains (battery powered)

0
0

My Dell precision 5510's display driver stops responding and getting recovered if I run any graphic intense programs in it. It happens only when I run it without the charger connected, it works fine if charger is connected.

It says display driver stopped responding and recovered by itself, but I am not able to resume whatever I was doing. It makes me rerun the program, after a while, some 2 minutes, the loop repeats(display driver stops working and getting recovered again). This makes me not able to use my laptop at all without charger connected.

I dont see any issue with less graphic intense programs like browsing etc., This happens only during games for me, I hope it will be the case with other graphic intense programs also.

Thanks in advance,

Any help wiil be much appreciated,

Kumaresan.

Dell XPS 15 9550 - DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION blue screen BSOD

0

Hi there,


I used big old friend google many times, but to no avail. I have no cluehow to fix this error.
At irreguar moments (often simply while I have a Skype call, but not only then) my new Dell XPS 15 9550 would freeze and then a blue screen appears, saying DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, we are now gathering information before we restart your PC. But the counter stays at 0%.

So I have to manually restart.

Nevertheless this happens about 1-2 times per week and it is pretty annoying. But nothing I found online would give me a clue of what to do....

Anybody knows the issue and how to solve it?

Upgrade for Laptop

Hi
I own a Dell Inspiron 17334 laptop. The model has actually been discontinued by the manufacturer
It has a 4GB RAM and 500GB Harddrive. I wish to know if it is possible to upgrade my laptop. I know I can actually replace the RAM and Harddrive but is there a way to know beforehand whether the motherboard can handle it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
