I noticed a couple days ago the system time on my laptop did not adjust for daylight savings time. I have not changed any settings. I have been having problems with WiFi connection but that should affect the system time.
I have Dell Inspiron 15 3543. It's less than a year old.
Since Dell REFUSES to address other concerns I have, via PM on this forum, public posts on this forum, emails and calls to support... this will be the start of a lawsuit and I am hoping for maybe a Class Action.
I ordered and paid for a M4600 with the 1920x1080 premium color IPS display. I have documentation saying I paid for this from dell.
When I ordered my M4500 - I also paid for the premium RGB display and got screwed out of that..
on the M4600 - every single diagnostic program I run shows I have a TFT 6-bit color display when I paid for a IPS 10-bit color display...
DELL - what are we going to do to resolve this issue, as well as the engineering issues I have on both my M4500 and M4600??
While I did not buy these machines when they were new/current - I did order them directly from Dell as clearance items and paid dell directly for them. My employer also orders $400,000+ per year from dell and we are considering moving to HP this year... I have some say as to how that will go.. not 100% control but enough to at least delay the purchasing pending resolution of all the issues I posted about my machines as well as business machines...
I have an DELL INSPIRON 15 3521 laptop. In laptop specification it has integrated {intel hd graphics 3000} and discrete {amd radeon 7670m} graphics But on dell website only integrated intel graphics driver available. Also the AMD AUTO DETECT UTILITY not detecting any amd graphics hardware.
also in past there are drivers for amd graphics in dell webste.
can anyone help me
I have recently purchased the USB-C Adapter to connect to my office displays which support VGA and HDMI.
I installed the supported drivers for the adapter and noticed that the VGA connection works, but the HDMI input does not.
Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, what can I do to resolve this?
Just installed this key board and can't get the backlit to turn on. Have tried everything. Or did I get sent the wrong keyboard.
I have an inspiron 7559. I installed an m.2 850 samsung evo to use for my OS. Whenever I try to install an OS, whether it's windows 10 or windows 8.1, it would freeze on the windows logo screen and the dots going in circles indefinitely. I've had it go on for about 12 hours before with no progress so I'm assuming going longer wouldn't be productive.
My Inspiron 5523 laptop will not boot normally after I tried to dual boot Linux.
Symptoms:
Computer will not cold boot (or boot after hibernation). I mean that the screen is completely black, the Dell splash screen does not show up, and none of the keys (F2, F8, F12, Fn) will go to their appropriate screens. The lights turn on then go off, and I can hear the fan and processor working for 5 seconds then stop. There is no POST beep.
Occasionally after I do some combination of unplug CMOS battery, unplug battery and holding power button, unplug a ram, and hitting the reset button on the bottom of my computer, the computer boots normally and everything works completely fine. Restarting is fine, only cold boot won't work.
What I've tried:
Observations:
I'm completely out of ideas at this point, and my suspicion is UEFI needs a reflash, any ideas? Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks so much!
hi guys,
i had problems with my dell laptop DELL INSPIRON 15 7000 SERIES . It has has been 19 months since i bought the laptop.
I had faced problems with the wifi on the day i received the laptop. I could not able to connect my home network and after a lot trouble shooting and asking dell for help they did update the driver. The day my warranty has been completed, i faced a lot of problems with my laptop.It suddenly stops in the middle off the work or It would not charge or it makes a noise , It starts rarely and then stops in the middle and i called up for service they said it costs about $200 and could able to find the root cause of it. I already showed up in the repair shop.They told that every thing is fine and there is a anti virus problem and then i checked up. there is nothing like that.
Now what should i do .Please kindly reply ur opinions
Thanks in advance
I'm planning on upgrading my RAM on my computer, and according to the owner's manual in the
"Before you start" section, it talks about how to ground your system. It says that after your computer is shut down, unplugged from the outlet, and all attached devices are removed, to press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to ground the system board. However, when I press and hold the power button, the computer just boots up normally. I've tried several times and I'm unsure of what the solution is.
Here are all 5 steps in the "Before you boot" section:
1. Save and close all open files and exit all programs.
2. Follow the instructions to shut down your computer based on the operating system installed on your computer (Windows 10 for me)
3. Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets.
4. Disconnect all telephone cables, network cables, and attached devices from your computer.
5. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, after the computer is unplugged, to ground the system board.
Removing the RAM is very simple, with a panel on the back that's easily removed to switch it out. However, removing the battery is significantly more complicated, involving taking off the whole back panel, so that isn't really an option for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
well guys . i bought my inspiron 1564 7 years back. i was also encountering the heating issues and beeping sound. at first i thought of some hardware issue behind beeping. but one day i switched my os from windows7 to ubuntu. the moment i installed ubuntu the beeping sound was gone. i have been using it for 6 months now without beeping sound and my lappy has also become fast. but the heating issue still exists. hope u find it helping
Hi,
I have a Dell Inspiron 7000, 15.6" i7 8gb ram that isn't powering up. I press the power button, the button lights up and keyboard backlight lights, then the power button fades out and continues this light up fade out process on it's own indefinitely. The screen does not turn on, the fan does not turn on, and there is no beeping.
I've tried:
Now, when I power it on with the RAM stick removed, the fan turns on, the screen backlight comes on(but doesn't display anything) and I hear beeping. Also, I installed a 2gb stick from a friends laptop and get the same symptoms as with no RAM installed.
Anyone have any other ideas they could throw at me?
Thanks!
I bought a XPS 13 9350 and the thunder bolt docking station.
I installed Ubuntu (15). I have not been able to get the docking station to work on Ubuntu. Is it not possible? The light on the front of the laptop lights up when I plug it in, so I assume it's plugging in correctly. Though, the light on the thunderbolt cord itself does not light up (it was went I tired it on Windows).

I received an M6500 second hand and it still has an ownership tag from the previous owner. The ownership tag is the text above the Dell logo during POST. It cannot be changed with Dell CCTK. It also cannot be changed from the BIOS. The PlatformTags_4.006_ZPE.exe software does not support the M6500. Does anyone have a version that does? Is there another way to do so?
I have a Dell Precision M4800 laptop which uses the massive 195W power supply that has the 3 hole (mickey mouse - C8) style plug. I'm traveling internationally and have a laptop power cord kit that has multiple A/C plug heads but it's back end is the 2 hole (figure-8 - C5) style. can i use that if i get a C8 to C5 adapter?
the third hole in the C8 is just for the ground wire. is it that critical for the power supply to be grounded?
and just to confirm, all Dell power supplies (at least the 195W one) can handle both 110v and 220v, right? i don't need a transformer, just the right size A/C plug
Thanks

I recently purchased a TB15 under the direction of dell sales that it would work with the new alienware 17 laptop. After several call and scouring the internet for some kind of information on trying to get these to work it has yielded nothing. the only thing that I cannot seem to get right is the firmware for the dock to install. The dock does show up in the device manager as an Intel 3.1 usb hub.
I bought this laptop (Inspiron 15 5547 model) exactly on 2014 December. For the last few months I was hearing a click sound whenever I open the laptop. And today also I heard the click sound but while
closing the laptop I found the right corner edge is popped open. Because delicate screws and delicate panel.
I contacted Dell Support for this issue and explained them what happened. They told me that this is a damage happened on the laptop and I was not covered by accidental damage coverage. So I have to pay for this one to be fixed.
I explained them that I’m using this laptop as everyone else does like opening a laptop to work on it and closing it when am done with my work. But no use, I was told this is beyond warranty I have to pay $160 and wait at least 12 working days to get it fixed.
I don’t understand, opening and closing is one of the basic functionalities of any laptop. Doing so has broken a screw which is beyond my control and that led to weird opening at the bottom. Because delicate screws and delicate panel
Can someone please suggest me what are my options?
I click on 'contact us' in the support page for my XPS15 and I have three choices - email, phone and chat.
Each link goes to a German lanuage page.
How can I get an English language page? I don't know any German!
Or is there another way to contact Dell UK Tech Support?
Thanks!
