• Dell XPS 14 brightness will not change / "Painting as" Image

  I just got a Dell XPS 14 Core i5 and the GeForce 630 M. I found that the brightness of the display does not change even if pressing the keys on the keyboard or adjust the slider on the screen the toggle to retouch the brightness comes. Thus, the keys work. I have updated the drivers for the 630M, chipset and Intel 4000 card. Also, I flashed the BIOS with the latest version. The Dell representative I talked to said that updating the drivers may solve the problem - it didn t. Then, through remote connection it did for me. No luck. So, what's the problem? Also, I have a weird and potentially related problem. All the images on the screen (bottom of screen, images in the browser, photo gallery, YouTube, etc.) have a look "painted" their. The videos are unstable and the images are very washed-out. Once again, after update, the problem persists. For me it is a hardware problem. Help someone!

  Thank you

  Type of system: XPS 14 L421X detailed description of the problem:

  The display is of poor quality with graphs, images, videos and texts appearing pixelated and grainy. The problem is particularly notable for graphics online / on the internet. The contrast is also apparently, make images appear as less detailed, almost like a screen 256 older colors. The problem persists when the video output is connected to an external monitor via a HDMI cable.

  The issue is subtle and may not be obvious to new users; Is why it can easily be neglected if not carefully read. I would recommend comparing the simultaneous side-by-side display of the same image on your computer and another computer files. In addition, display images at actual size of 100% in the comparison will help identify the problem. You should be able to see obvious color with gradients almost "oil painting" as artifact.

  After months of wasted effort with XPS support replace the LCD screen, install a new copy of Windows and video drivers, shipping my computer for the installation of Dell for 'analysis of expert' and even replaced all of the device, the problem has not been solved.

  A few days after updating my Windows to 8.1, I found the problem. Here is the solution: right click on the new button start click on "Mobility Center", under 'Color of the default' select generic color instead of splendid color. This will fix the problem.

• Can I download drivers for Dell XPS 420 girl (windows xp) on my computer (Dell Studio 17 Windows 7) on a cd instead of install on my computer?

  I done a clean install on Dell XPS 420 after a crash.  Windows XP works fine, but it continues to ask that drivers can be installed before I can get on my internet which is At & T DSL with external modem.  When I try to go on the internet, it gives me the error of pilots.  I had what I thought, it was the disk drivers that came with the computer, but when I installed and then it is still asking for the correct drivers.  I called At & t for their support and they said I needed drivers.  That's why I came to Microsoft to download the drivers on my Dell Studio 17 on a cd, so I can load them onto the computer Dell XPS 420.  I was afraid to install on my computer because my Windows 7 running.

  I don't know if I can load my Windows 7 and its drivers on the dell Xps 420.  It was a solution, I thought, but I'm not that computer from common sense to see if that might spoil the Dell XPS 420.   Any help would be appreciated.

  Using another computer, go to the Dell support website and search the Windows XP drivers for your specific model number. Using your Dell's Service tag number is the fastest way to get the correct drivers.
  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=Gen

  If there is then Windows XP Download drivers into a folder (with subfolders named "Chipset", "LAN", "Audio", etc) on your hard drive and burn all files on a CD driver.

  Then, insert the CD into the computer XPS 420 and install all of the driver files, starting with the mother/chipset, SATA, Firewire card drivers (1394), LAN, Audio, etc, and so on.

  For the problems of graphics card check download site of the manufacture of the graphics card for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your card.

• Keyboard output incorrect characters after the re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

  Original title: some of the keys on the keyboard messed up after re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

  Hey guys,.

  I have recently reinstalled windows because last year I picked up a few errors that I couldn't fix it easily and I wanted a clean slate.

  I have install all the drivers etc, but I noticed on my keyboard, if I try and make a "sign it comes up with a sign @ and vice versa." There are also others like that, so I guess that my keyboard readers need to update? Although I have no idea why they would need updating as they were before.

  Anyway, I went here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=XPS_M1530&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid= and I tried to find the driver I need, but could not find them.

  So, overall, my question is should I update the drivers? If so, how?

  And if not, how can I fix?

  Thank you. :)

  Hi cripple.

  Thank you for your message.

  Was is happening until you have reinstalled Windows?

  How do you reinstall Vista, what steps did you take?

  What is a wireless keyboard?

  If this is the case, check the batteries and make sure that the keyboard is very close to the receiver (a few inches) to see if the problem resolves.

  I suggest updating your anti-virus definitions and run a fun system scan.

  You can connect another keyboard to your computer to see if it might be the fault of the keyboard?

• Backup impossible - Vista Ultimate, Dell XPS 420, WD 320 external (eSATA) drive - error 0 x 81000006 and 0 x 81000014

  Hello, I've had this problem for some time now, and it's very frustrating.  I can't save the disk correctly - there have been times that I've been able to do a full backup, but subsequent backups then failed, and other times, I can't yet do a full backup.

  I have a DELL XPS 420 PC, running Vista Ultimate.  I also have a 320 GB Western Digital external hard drive connected via eSATA.

  I had problems with backup from the beginning.  Previous suggestions have been to ensure that the drive is formatted in NTFS (it is) and to make sure that I am able to see the drive from the computer and access (I can).

  I got two different types of error messages:

  ================================
  Error message:

  The backup location cannot be found or is not valid. Check your backup settings and check your hardware configuration. (0 x 81000006)

  Backup time: 12-09-2009 01:05

  The backup location: My Book (z :))

  Error message:
  
  There is not enough space on your Windows drive to prepare for the backup of your files. At least 400 MB of free space is required to continue. (0 x 81000014)

  Backup time: 05/01/2010 18:38
  The backup location: My Book (z :))

  [Start over] [Settings] [Close]

  ==============================

  What could be the problem? What I might try?  Please let me know if I can provide any other information that might help.

  THANKS IN ADVANCE!

  Hey, Ronna,.

  Sorry I didn't saw this post earlier - I hope you were able to solve your problem.

  Here's what I figured out around miner (on mine - after hours and hours of research):

  The message 'no space' was more a message "no memory" for me - I understand that if I have a large number of open programs, that is causing the error.

  The other mistake, I was getting, it was simply that the external HD had stopped spinning - now, whenever it says backup failed because he could not find the hard drive I press the power button on the back of the drive (I have a MyBook Western Digital external hard drive 320), run it, and then it works fine.

  I hope this helps someone else.

• Dell XPS 420 with Vista Home Premium, replaced the hard drive, download now blue screen errors

  My girlfriend has a desktop Dell XPS 420 quit working a year or 2 ago. A computer technician told me that it sounded as if the hard drive was bad, recently I purchased from Dell, a Seagate 1 TB hard drive (the original is a Western Digital 320 GB).

  I bought also, once again from Dell, a copy of its installation discs for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

  I installed the new hard drive, correctly, as far as I can tell, but I tried several times over the past days to install Vista and a few times I got errors (BSoD) STOP and a few other times, Windows Installer errors.

  What's wrong?

  I run Dell diagnostics that took almost a whole day, but I don't think anything. I have not partitioned the hard drive, it's like 931 GB.

  I think that may be something related to the RAM, but I'm not sure.

  Thanks for any help.

  Activate by phone

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html
  Please note this step #9

  If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista. The operator will give you all the numbers to ID of Confirmation if they accept that your copy of Vista is legitimate.
  NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Vista on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

• Dell XPS 420 not go, bright, flashing orange light orange on the motherboard, flashing green light behind USB on motherboard

  I am running Windows 7 on my XPS 420, I had updated the power supply two years back and installed extra ram and an SSD, a few months ago.

  I quit the PC last night, normally

  This morning, it is not booting, the light was blinking orange, including the connected mouse was blinking also.

  I decided to open it and check all connections; everything went well on the inside.  Before you open the PC, I unplugged all the extras connected like mouse, etc.

  The computer has actually started up normally and when I plugged the monitor it looked ordinary, he had reached the Windows login screen.

  HOWEVER, when I plugged the first rear USB component, the computer off and started to blink.

  I'm not sure what the problem is here.  My motherboard is fried?  I don't think it's the power supply from the computer DID resume after I noticed the blinking yellow light.  I wonder if the flashing of the earlier mouse and/or the flashing green on the back (inside the PC) of USB port average something else.

  Any advice is greatly appreciated

  First check that all the cables for power and data are correctly connected, including the cables on the front panel.

  No difference and if you're comfortable working around computers, you can try the following:

  Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.

  Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 24-pin motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, plug in the power cord and the power of the system, if the PSU, case fans and disk hard drive performance then the power supply can be good.

  Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

  Extract supply and the system still does not work, yet once remove the power cord, hold button power in a few seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 24 pin to the motherboard.

  Remove any PCI video card [as appropriate], memory cards, all the devices, unplug data cables and power to all readers, check that the cable from the front panel is connected to the motherboard, without anything else connected to the system, reconnect the power cable and power the system on.

  If there is no difference in the diagnostic lights, of "Beep" codes and/or the indication of the LED on the power button, it would seem that the motherboard is dead and/or the processor and the only method I know to check a processor is perhaps install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

• New Dell XPS 420 Disk Partition/Division

  Hi all

  I just received my new Dell XPS 420 with 500 GB drive.  Default disk configuration is 1 BIG partion (unless of course another partition for the recovery disc).

  I need my drive partitioned at least 2 or 3 scores, however there is no option to specify your wishes for the disk partitioning when you order from Dell Online (I hope they have this option in the future).

  I was thinking two things to work around this problem:

  (1) use the Windows Vista 'Shrink the Volume' feature to shrink the C drive in the smallest size and create a new volume for my data.

  2) restore from "Restore the Image" but I don't know if you can specify the partition of drive during the restoration of the image.

  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  
  

• Graphics card does not not on Dell XPS 420

  Hello

  Recently, a problem has arisen. My graphics card has given me some very strange situations, when I run a game (in this case, Medal of Honor Airborne) the color palette goes nuts and everything pink and green and the tris. Now, if it wont start even upward normally, it looks almost exactly like this picture I found on the web (the picture is below. mine alternated between points and lines). Still I can't understand what is wrong with it. My Dell XPS 420 also works very well with my other card which I believe is the AMD Radeon 2400 pro. The card is the Nvidia GeForce 8600 Gts.

  Any help would be appreciated thanks -Microvolt

  

  Both the 8600 GTS and HD 2400 Pro are old cards so that they may or may not last forever.  The 8600 GTS is a best performance card, so I can understand that want to use it against the HD 2400 Pro.  You can try to uninstall and reinstall a new driver for it in case it is damaged.  If this does not work, it can only have gone wrong for a new purchase would be in order, unless you can live with the AMD card.  There will be a range of cards video today that would be better than the 8600 GTS and they cost no more.  HD 6570, HD 6670 or the TG 640 would all consider inexpensive cards.
