Inspiron 7378 won't boot into Windows 10 Safe Mode

$

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?


Dell Inspiron 5000 - external monitor

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!

Missing On Screen Display (OSD) for volume and brightness adjustments with Fn keys

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?

Green light off

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


XPS 15 (9550)

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

No WiFi auto-connect on XPS 13 9360 / Windows 10 Insider 14986

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.

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.

Backlit Keyboard on Latitude E6410

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.
