I'm having an issue getting this Inspiron 7378 to into Windows 10 Safe Mode.
After navigation into Advanced Repair Settings and telling the system to reboot into Safe Mode, the laptop gets stuck on the Dell logo and will not complete its POST operations. My only fix is to unplug the power adapter, drain the battery, and then boot back up.
Any idea why the laptop won't boot into Safe Mode?
Hi - I've just gotten my Inspiron 5000 i5(7th gen) with HD Graphics 620 displayad. The laptop has a HDMI port and I wondered if I can connect it to an external monitor and have my display on both? I've tried a HDMI to VGA connector but that only seems to allow either or - I thought it might be the adaptor but is it actually that the laptop doesn't support dual monitors? And if it does - can anyone give me any pointers on what needs to be configured to allow the double display?
Thanks!

I have had a dell xps 13 for about 2 months and yesterday my battery stopped charging, now i run through the diagnostic thing and it says that my battery is at the end of its life?? whats up with that. Is there anyway that this can be fixed without buying a new battery or will i have to buy a brand new battery to replace my brand new battery?

I have a Dell Precision 5510 laptop issued by my work. They have installed some custom software and and I seem to have lost the OSD showing the little bars indicating adjustments to Volume and Brightness when you use the Fn keys to adjust them. A search of previous threads indicated this function was previously managed by a program called Dell Quickset or Dell ControlPoint System Manager, but these were from posts several years old and neither of those programs seems to be applicable to my current laptop. Any idea what program or drivers need to be installed to restore this functionality?
Hi,
Im having problem to connect Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24” to Dell Precision m4700 with Intell HG graphics 4000 via Display port. Only works with VGA cable but does not offer resolution 1920 x 1200.

I am not sure which subject this comes under but here goes. I got a Del inspiron 7720 that came loaded with windows 8. I replaced the hard drive last year with a solid state and installed windows and then before the free upgrade to windows 10 stopped I put windows 10 on it.
The green led light was working for months to tell me to hit the FN+F3 key to turn off the touch pad.
Yesterday I noticed that no longer works.
Nothing I tried has got the green light back on so I can use this function .
No errors in device manager.
I ran the hardware thing when booting by hitting the f12 key but it said no problems found.
Any idea on why this green led light went off ? and I am no longer able to turn the touch pad off and on. I would like to just disable it as I never use it but I see no way in system BIOS to do that. Any tip appreciated. Tom
Hi,
I have this model, this is the second time I have had a failure of this type on this laptop. What happens is the unit goes into hibernation, then on subsequent attempts to power it on the power light illuminates for about 10 seconds, nothing else happens, no splash screen, num/caps lock has no effect. It does it both on power and battery.
The motherboard has been replaced once, it's being replaced again tomorrow, is this a failure other people have seen? It's running Windows 10 with all bios and driver updates installed.
Thanks
Whenever I try to install a game, in this case, GTA V, the download speed starts at ~10 Mb/s but then it slowly goes down until it hits 0 and then I have to wait a couple minutes and it goes back to ~5 Mb/s and repeats this, I've had this laptop for around 6 months now.
Help please.
I have been trying to install Windows 10 Professional via USB and for some reason I cannot get the laptop to see the USB boot device. Any tips would be greatly appreciated,. F12 has not gotten me anywhere.
My new XPS 13 9360 will not auto-connect to any WiFi access points.
I am fully up-to-date on BIOS and all drivers from Dell; currently I see this on Windows 10 Build 14986 (which is the latest slow ring insider build) - but I _may_ have seen this on the latest Windows 10 stable edition as well.
I have tried recreating access points, reinstalling drivers, all to no avail.
The access points in question auto-connect perfectly with another laptop. Generally, once (manually) connected, WiFi works very well.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions on how to make auto-connect work reliably.
Hi
as the title reads, does anybody have the ubuntu distro that fully supports the inspiron 11 3000? ive tried downloading ubuntu from their website, but things such as the network card dont work at all. Im asking this because it's a factory supported operating system, yet i cant find it at all.
Thanks
I bought a Inspiron 7378. The website says in can charge via the USB-C port. Other than docking stations what charger is needed? Can I use any charger that meets certain specs/amps? Dell is very unclear on this.
Hi, I purchased a Samsung 250GB SSD for a Latitude D820, but the try isn't recognized when I try to install Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. Any advice on how to make this work?
Thank you.
I just turned on my laptop and as it finished booting up I got a BSOD with the message system_service_exception. I cant turn it on now but the first time I booted it up I managed to run a systems diagnostics. I got an error message saying,"Error Code: 2000-0114 Validation Code: 112740 cpu Cache integrity test discrepancy. CPU 0[ID 0x0] data error at address 0x966B00E0. Expected FFD4FF1F but found FF94FF1F". Also I think the hard drive might have some issues.

Client has a E7470 and WLD15. The Network connection with the WLD15 will work for a few minutes and then stops working. Using the laptop wireless or wired connection works. I've updated all the drivers and even had the wd15 swapped out. I need some advise.

Hi
Can some one tell me how to activate the media switched on my Del xps 1640. When I try to eject a cd/dvd the light gets brighter but it doesnt eject. Also the play stop etc dont seem to work either but the wifi one does.
Bought my machine used, so it didn't come with a warranty. Was strapped for cash after my HP fried, and wanted something to use. Anyway, the backlight on the keyboard won't stay constantly on, like I'm used to. BTW..very disgusted with HP for 3 years. Voiced my opinion to my pc-savy son, and he said that Dell is the step child of pc's. So, naturally I expected tech support, out of warranty like I had in the past with my other machines. Nope! No such animal. was told umpre-emptily that they cannot help me. I'm like ***?
Hope you can help. Right now, said backliight is on, but don't know for how long. Thanks.
