After updating to BIOS A15, the keys to my Dell Latitude E5440 get "stuck" again with Linux. This has been a problem for many frustrating months back when I originally bought it, then solved by a BIOS update eventually, and now back again with A15. A14 worked fine.

Inspiron 15R SE continious beep sound startup

$

Hello,

I would like to present my problem with my Inspiron 15R SE laptop, bought in september of 2013.

This last week, I've regularly been experiencing a beeping sound at the startup of my laptop. When I turn the laptop on, three buttons light up and turn off again, and the laptop screen remains black. A soon as that happens, the beeping sound occurs. The beeping sound is continiously and indefinitely untill I decide to turn the laptop off forcefully by pressing the power button for 3 seconds.

I haven't downloaded any software in the last three months, nore have I installed any hardware on my computer.

Today I did start the ePSA procedure at the startup. I selected the quick test and the thorough tests. My system passed them all. No fails, no system errors.

I don't have the patience to go through the complete history of this community board for usefull suggestions and tips. That's why I want to ask what sollutions there could be for this problem. I can send the Service Tag of my system if that's necessary.

I'm eagerly looking forward to your responses.

Kind regards,

Kaazi

[Inspiron 14z] How may I disable my keyboard?

$
0
0

I'm using a Inspiron 14z 5423. After a crash, the keyboard started malfunctioning and typing things itself. Although it still has some reaction while pressing some of the keys, it's completely unusable.

I tried disabling it through device manager but uninstalling the driver gave no effect. Trying to install an incompatible driver also didn't work since it didn't give me an option to choose a driver when I pressed updating it. I tried to find its driver(i8042prt.sys) and delete it but it refused. I tried using PNPutil.exe and devcon.exe in cmd to disable it but also didn't do anything.

I tried to open up the notebook but the nail was unable to be removed. Seems that the crash damaged some parts that maybe responsible for the issue.

Are there any more options for me to disable the keyboard?Maybe through BIOS?  The other parts are working normally except for the touchpad which I don't bother to use.

repeated BSODs after each Windows 10 update preventing me to work

This is really annoying, I own a Dell Latitude laptop since last year  and most of the times after a windows update it goes in BSOD or fails to start completely at random, mostly when  I am teaching  or I am on a train and need to work on  my laptop.

The laptop works one day and then the next it does not

Dell support has changed hard drive, RAMs, AC cord and device, to no avail. The computer passes all the  tests,

I am at loss. I need to have a reliable machine for work and I think Dell should put more effort in  supporting  their clients

I have  put my minidumps and reports here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0qibbcf9rd1p99e/AAAHmMYbZdSgTUUW3esuvg1ha?dl=0

 I hope you can give relevant and final advice. Failing that, you will hear from my *** because the amount of work hours I am losing because of this is seriously damaging.

I look forward to hearing from you soon  with a reliable solution, as I am not the only one  having these  recurring problems.

Alienware 17 R4 (2017 model), multiple Monitors / pcie question

$

Hi Guys,

Right, after looking at various models, i've decided upon an Alienware 17 to replace my trusty M14r2.

Can anyone answer the following questions though please..

a) can it run 2 external monitors and the internal panel at the same time? 

b) If it does, can it do thsi on the integrated intel chipset, or does it need to use the Discrete Graphics

c) is there a huge difference between the AMD and nVidia options? I'm not really going to play games on it, its mainly for web development - I know I could get a Dell as its not really for gaming, but I just like the Alienware brand.

d) how many channels the does the PCI-E SSD use?

e) I'm interested in teh 1TB PCIE SSD option, is it a Samsung 961 based drive?


Heat Issues 2016 m15r3

During normal usage - browsing the internet, watching videos, browsing forums etc, i see temps around 55-65. 

In BF1, CPU will sit around 85-90 in a cool 75 degree room. If i don't use a cooling pad, the computer will shut down due to overheating (spiking). all software based hardware tests pass (system support), but it's a bit annoying to have to use a full blown cooling pad. I understand this is a very demanding game.

Is this normal for this machine? my previous i7-6700 laptop ran significantly cooler. I'm wondering if it's worth my time to open it up and check the thermal paste. All fans are also clear of dust and debris, it's a brand new machine. 

Dell Inspiron 15 3558, changed boot mode to Legacy and back again, now it can't find the OS

As per the title, I changed this laptop's boot mode from "UEFI - Secure Boot" to "Legacy" in order to do a boot-time virus scan from USB (with ESET - it didn't find anything fwiw).

However, when I changed boot mode back to "UEFI - Secure Boot", it says it can no longer find any OS.

When I use a Win10 disc to boot into rescue mode, if I go into the command prompt and use dir, I can see that all the files are still there, so the drive hasn't been wiped (thank god) or anything.

I've tried using Win10's default "Startup Repair" option, which doesn't appear to work. I've tried using bootrec /fixmbr and /fixboot, and even /rebuildbcd, none of which are helping it find the OS.

Any thoughts?

Dell XPS 9343 Consistent Blue Screen Problems

So I get two sort of blue screen errors: Memory management, and bcmwl. This has been happening on and off since last year and I'm not sure what is going on. I worked with support last year and all we did was just update all of my drivers - problem went away for a few months but then the blue screening starts coming back. I can't identify an actual pattern on what causes this, tried going through event viewer to find some sort of trigger I am really just not sure. I have the latest wifi driver given from Dell's driver website - and I believe after running the "Identify drivers" search engine off of Dell's drivers website, it recently just pointed me to update my graphics driver as well as install some applications (Which I haven't done as of yet). 

Ran system file checker as well as Window's memory diagnostic showing no problems found on both ends, please help - really tired of getting these blue screens

Inspiron 15 5578 (Core i7 7th Gen) Screen Issue

$

Hello, everyone

I have a brand new Inspiron 5578 and for some reason I've been experiencing some screen scrambling. Sometimes it happens on the whole screen or just covers some part of it on the right side.

I tried to solve this problem by updating my Intel HD Graphics driver and BIOS. That didn't help, unfortunately.

I also ran the LCD BIST a couple of times, couldn't find any problem with the screen.

Maybe, somebody else here have experienced the same problem? What can you suggest here?

Edit: I forgot to mention that the screen starts flickering under load, and the flickering in not constant. In other cases display works perfectly. I usually fix it by closing and opening the lid, but it's a temporary workaround.
