XPS 13 2015 - SD Card Reader Not Working

0
0

I just got a brand new XPS 13 with Infinity Display. The laptop won't recognise any SD cards and the card reader does not show up under Devices and Drivers. The problem is not the cards as they work on all my other devices.


I've updated and reinstalled the device driver multiple times to no avail. Any ideas? This laptop comes with Windows 8.1 64 bit.

My laptop's screen doesn't operate when I turn it on. The power light shines but the hard-drive and battery light doesn't operate as-well. The screen just stays black. The only way of getting the screen to come on is to take the battery out, hold the power button down for 20 seconds and then attach the power lead with no battery. I have to do this each time for it to work. Is there any solution and does anybody know the problem? 

Dell Inspiron 1545 - Print Spooler Errors

0
0

Hi,

I have bought a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop in 2009 which it previously had Windows 7 and everything worked fine until this print spooler problem occurs just happened in mid-2011 and until now with Windows 8.1 upgraded which I have done yesterday.

Everytime I go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Add a printer the problem occurs that the print spooler service is not running, this is what would Microsoft call it "Windows can't open Add Printer (Paragraph line) The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine."
I have tried this by going in to Services and Start the spooler service, but somehow another error message which come up saying "Windows could not start the Spooler service on Local Computer. (Paragraph line) Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."

Is there a way to solve this issue?
Please reply back if you want pictures showing error messages instead of written text just to make it easier, please reply back.

Thanks!

Yours Sincerely,

I have a number of problems with my XPS

0
0

So i have the XPS 15 l521x and I am furious from the lack of updates for this pc 

specially intel graphics; One can always update through intel's releases, but there is a catch. If I do so, I will loose brightness controls. I tried reinstalling the command center thingy (i cannot recall its name :/)  with no use.

I recently upgraded the main HDD to a 7.2k RPM one. It should run on SATA 3, which this laptop chipset supports. well, it is running on SATA 2. On some forum, a guy rolled back his bios to A11, and he claims SATA3 is operational there. I will not do that, however. 

the last update this laptop received was a little over a year ago, and it is anything but needless of updates.

Is there any workaround/solution for the aforementioned issues?

this is my 3rd dell, i really like dell's offerings but we need some love here,,,, drivers plz

I am attempting to dualboot Ubuntu on my 

New Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 Special Edition Laptop

Inspiron 13 (7352, Early 2015)

The system recognizes this card as being an Intel Wireless 7265 (iwlwifi-7265), but no drivers are present. I  have tried loading the 

firmware:       iwlwifi-7265-9.ucode

Unfortunately, when I run sudo modprobe iwlwifi, I get a couple

"DIrect firmware load failed with error -2" responses

and finally "no suitable firmware found."

Anyone else encounter this problem?

Dell Inspiron 7537 after restart (or switching on) keyboard is not working

0
0

Hello!

I've got Dell Inspiron 7537. Fresh install of Windows 8.1. All drivers and BIOS updates installed form Dell's site.

After I restart (or switch on) my laptop, sometimes keyboard is not working. Only special buttons like keyboard illumination or airplane mode are working. All other - letters, numbers, win-key etc are not working.

Issue is completely random and not possible to recreate on purpose. Can be one week without this problem, or can happen tomorrow.

What I've already tried:

1. Reinstalling Windows

2. Deleting and reinstalling default keyboard driver form Microsoft in Device manager.

3. Updating BIOS

4. Running built-in Dell Diagnose utility (passed)

5. Disabling Quickset from startup and enabling it back.

I have a strong feeling, that it is a software problem. 

For the moment issue is still there. Can anyone give me an advice please?

Is "break" gone?

On my new Inspiron 7000 I don't see a "break" function.  As in CTRL+ break to stop runaway programs. Has this gone the way of  "C:\"? Is there a key combination for it?

Code 28 on PCI bus ACPI\SMO8800

Hi i have  an unknown device in my device manager. in propertis it shows this message - "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" i cannot update the driver windows cannot find the driver.  Under the details tab property is: hardware Ids  value ACPI\SMO8800 and *SMO8800.

I have found out that this is an accelerometer, a device that detects when your laptop may be falling and instantly stops the hard disk so it isn’t damaged on impact.

The dell has a link to the driver on for the freefall sensor but it is not compatible with my xps  or is it?

Will that driver update my (xps L702X windows 7 x64) unknown device?

Hi,

I had bought this  DELL Inspiron15 3521 laptop sometime back and I'm facing an issue with the audio. I experienced it while I'm using earphones only. The audio on my right earphone fluctuate very much and sometimes works  only on left side. I initially thought it was an issue with my earphone but i tried with multiple earphones and still I experienced the same problem. But the laptop speakers works fine. Could it be an issue with the audio port? Can someone help me on this.

im using windows 8 OS 

Thank you,

Vostro 3500 - Video Driver Crashes Windows (Switchable Video)

0
0

Hi,

Reason for this post :

I am unable to connect a external monitor and 'Extend' my desktop to it.

Problem Identified :

I am unable to install a 'Working' video driver onto this laptop.

Problem Resolutions Attempted :

- I have attempted all video drivers from the Dell support page (and some older / newer ones available for similar laptops on Dell's website)

- I have dual boot Windows 7 32 and 64 bit so have tried many variations. 

- Drivers directly from Nvidia and Intel do not yeild results.  Intel drivers do not find any video hardware, some Nvidia driver versions install but crash on Windows load.

- Auto-Detect Nvidia service (Verde drivers) does not detect any Nvidia hardware.

 

Basically this laptop claims to be a 'Switchable' Intel video (built into the i5 processor) and the Nvidia 310M card internally.  From reading on the net, there is a supply issue regarding this video card combination and 'Hybrid Graphics', or 'Switchable' video drivers are not officially supported by the manufacturers of the devices, but are officially supported by Dell...  So my two months of hair pulling has lead me to this forum.

 

 

Wish me luck

 

Damian

 

 

 

Lets just say Im 3 months out of warranty so we are looking at a 15 month old machine.


Venue 10 Pro Ghost Touches

Hi,

I've been having issues with my Venue 10 Pro 5055. While docked to the keyboard with the screen closed the device will wake itself up and repeatedly register touches on the screen.

This seems to happen randomly, sometimes almost immediately after closing the screen - walking to another room to find everything on the taskbar open/tabs opened or closed in browser, etc.

The only thing that gets logged by windows is a Kernal-Power event:

The system is exiting connected standby

Reason: User Input.

From what I could find, this issue also occurred and was eventually fixed in older devices. I am hoping a solution is available.

Inspirion 13 7000 (7348): No or slow internet when laptop closed or in tablet mode

0
0

When I use my laptop in closed state (using external monitor true HDMI) or in tablet mode (folded 360 degrees) my internet connection gets really slow or to a level where there is no internet at all.
The website or internet doesn't show the page or it throttles really bad. The connection bars show full connection.

When i lift the screen only a couple of degrees it will immediately restore and connects great. I think it could have something to do with the software blocking the keyboard and touchpad but not sure.

Is there anybody having the same issues? (I'm on the newest Windows 10 technical preview)

Or knows a fix?

I have an Alienware 18. The power cord continuously slips out while I am gaming. The power cord attachment to the laptop needs to be better secured so that it will not slip out during laptop use.
