Dell XPS 14: Computer not bringing me to login screen

Mon, 12 Jun 2017 13:08:49 -0700

Hello, I have recently been using a Dell Laptop and It has had no problems since I got it. When I was using it, it shut down on its own, and when I turned it back on, it brought me to a weird looking white screen with an error message, and it scans for an issue, but when it is scanning, it shuts off on its own and doesn't turn on again. When I turned it back on, I ran a Diagnostic test to see what the problem was, and it turned my screen into a bunch of lines that were different colors, and shortly after, it asked me if I saw all different colors, and I answered yes. It then started to scan for the issue, then started to beep really loudly every 4-5 seconds, and it beeped about 3 times before I closed the computer because the beeping was super loud and obnoxious. I sent it to the Dell company to figure out what the problem was, and it went on a little trip back and forth to get fixed, and it turns out there was something wrong with the hard drive, and once we got it back, it was working fine. However, a few days after I started using it again, it went went back to this issue.

I don't want to send this laptop back to the Dell company and pay even more money to get it fixed AGAIN and have it break again, and have to do this process once again.

Please help!

Dell xps 13 9333: Identify motherboard type for replacement/upgrade

Thu, 30 Mar 2017 16:32:20 -0700

(-- tradution en Français à la suite -- )

Hi,

I have the dell XPS13 9333 (060A) without touchscreen.

I want to upgrade my dell xps 13 9333 motherboard (0CVGH9) .

I know that there is compatible motherboard with better caracteristic (i7 and 8Go ram) so my question is how can I identify compatible motherboard ?

Or any dell xps 13 9333 motherboard will fit (I'm really concern about the screen conector) ?

Thanks for your answers !

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonjour,

je possède un dell xps 13 9333 (060A) sans écran tactile.

Je voudrais changer la carte mère (0CVGH9).

Je sais qu'il existe des cartes mères compatible avec de meilleurs caractéristiques (i7 & 8Go ram) ... donc je me demande comment je peux identifier de telles cartes ? Ou au contraire si n’importe-quelle carte mère pour dell xps 9333 fera l'affaire ?

(je suis notamment inquiet à propos de la compatibilité avec l'écran).

Merci pour vos réponses !

Dell XPS 13: Cursor behaves erratically after Spill.

Sun, 26 Feb 2017 08:02:44 -0700

Dell XPS 13 (9350)

I have spilled some soup on my keyboard but I suspect that when I drained it by placeing it upside down that some of the liquid got into the trackpad as well. So after I rinsed everything down (after taking out motherboard battery and main battery) with distilled water and isopropyl alcohol and waited I day everything is now working fine except every once in a while the cursor stops responding and occasionally moves erratically on it's own. Pretty freaky.

Is my trackpad toast? Where can I buy a replacement part

Or is there hope? What do you recommend me doing?

Dell XPS 15 9550: Why are my fans squeaking?

Thu, 02 Feb 2017 02:05:16 -0700

My fans used to just sound like fans--like grey noise but now, along with the regular fans noise, there is a high pitched squeaking noise, almost like a whine. Its very, very annoying, especially when the fan runs hot. I already tried a little compressed air, and it did nothing. All help is appreciated. Thanks!

Dell XPS 15-L502X: Audio is cracking and not loud as it used to be.

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:35:23 -0700

Hi,

I have Dell XPS 15-L502X, recently the speakers have started to crack when playing audio. mostly the bottom sub woofer creates the cracking sound but the top ones are also not performing as they used to. this cracking increases when increase in volume and all you can hear is screeching sound.

Any fix for it ..??

Another problem I have is, getting "Plugged in Not Charging message". the battery is not charging and laptop can only be used when AC is plugged in.

Whenever using the touchscreen or touchpad to scroll I can hear terrible buzzing, screeching coil whine coming from somewhere under the middle of the keyboard.

Dell XPS 15 9530: Touchscreen not working, touch screen wire burnt

Mon, 16 May 2016 14:09:55 -0700

Hi, my XPS 15 9530 touch screen is not working anymore. The wire for the touch screen which emanates from the display panel and goes into the motherboard seems to have burnt at a point. (pic: https://goo.gl/photos/5Y9NfXnqpM5zYWpP9) I am not sure why it burnt suddenly.

Is there way I can change this wire without replacing the whole display unit?

Any help or suggestion is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

(ps: I asked the Dell support and they told that the whole display assembly would have to be changed. TBH I don't trust Dell tech support much)
