Dell (All in One) Studio One 1909/19 power start mystery

A friend asked me to look at Studio One 1909 sister who does not illuminate.  She brought to Best Buy for repair and was told it was the motherboard and don't bother fixing.  When the computer is connected for the first time in the CD eject light doesn't light up for a short period and then goes out, no. fans no beeps... nothing.

I tried a few things to get started, unplugged power wedge, CMOS battery check button to delete all connections etc... but he seemed dead and I was coming to the same conclusion that the technician at best buy, maybe bad power supply or motherboard dead.

I called my friend and gave him the bad news and then he told me that he had the computer running after that he brought home from his sister's House.  He said all started and went very well and he left him when he went to sleep and when he woke up the next day it would not start no matter what he tried. He asked how the motherboard could be dead if he was running so well for 1 day.  I decided to give another glance to the computer.  I removed the power button checked, checked all the connections of power once more and did not find any obvious problems.  I plugged the computer while I had it put on the table, face down and left for a period of time before I went back to it.  I stood the computer up and to my astonishment started computer and everything went perfectly.  I was curious about what I touched to start.  My excitement lasted only until the next morning, when the computer will not turn on.  I came to the conclusion that the face of the computer down was the thing that allowed me to start the computer.

I worked with the computer for a few days and understood that he would in a kind of "Eve" from 1 to 02:00 and to restart I have let face down for about 1/2 hour before starting the system.  I tried different things every night, unplug overnight, leaving to run, stop and leave it plugged in, and the results were the same every morning, regardless of how I left the computer the night before, he would not be running.  Last night after I left the computer face down and this morning I put it up and it starts right now.

My theory is that some sort of pressure is put on the touchscreen sensors placing it face down and he wakes up the computer.  I tried many things before I discovered this trick.  I went to the CMOS settings, the first day I was able to start the computer and the only problem I noticed was that the date was wrong, so I fixed that and all reset the default settings.  I put the power options in windows to never go in mode "sleep" but I don't think that the operating system is in any way related to this problem as it would go in this hibernation even when unplugged.  I still think it's a motherboard problem, but do not know what could be the cause.

I tried to update the BIOS A04 Version but I read in the forums about the systems in brick after the BIOS flash and I don't want to risk it with someone elses computer.

Anyone have any ideas on what could be the problem?

Dell Studio One 1909

BIOS Version A04

Pentium (R) Dual - Core [email protected]

Memory 4 GB 800 MHz

Windows Vista Edition Home Premium 64-bit

I SOLVED it! My RESOLUTION was to buy a new power supply from DELL! Part # M117J. As soon as I gave up and connected the wires... I was able to press on the button / stop and HOP! He lit. Now, I'm going to fit everything back together... but I am sure that the Power Supply swap is the right way to go for the wrong unit we all! See you soon!

  • What should I buy to re - install my printer Dell all-in-One A960 Windows 8 after Windows XP?

    My printer Dell all-in-One (purchases. 2004) has stopped working.  When you try to use, sign popped up "print spooler service does not work? This has happened a month after that I switched to Windows 8.  Dell said there is no software for this printer be re-installed Windows 8 and suggested that I buy a different printer.

    I don't think that Dell should have the last word.  Any advice?  Can I buy drivers, other software?

    Thanks for your information.

    I suggest to try this:

    (1) unplug the printer from the power point

    (2) connect one end of the USB cable to the printer (if it is not already connected)

    (3) connect the other end to the machine using any free USB port

    (4) turn the printer by plugging the power plug

    (5) look at the screen to see if Windows indicates all compatible drivers

    If this does not work then try to look for Windows7 or even Windows Vista drivers and then install. However, make sure that these drivers are from the DELL website if possible)

    Good luck and hope it works.

  • How can I get the device driver for Dell all-in-one 944

    I got a new PC and don't have the information to use my printer.  How to get the driver from Dell for this printer info

    ... How to get the driver from Dell for this printer info

    I have moved your post in the comments to the Windows, hardware and drivers section section, but have no idea which version of Windows that you are operating on. If your printer is compatible with the version of Windows you are using, you can download the drivers and support the Dell 944 all-in-one printer from Dell heresite software.
                                                   
    You mentioned that you have a new PC, so it is likely that you use one of the Windows 7 64-bit editions. If you want to check the hardware compatibility with Windows 7, you should try the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

    Edit: If you try to work around a problem of incompatibility of Windows 7, there's a solution posted in the following thread,

  • My Dell all-in-one 962 stopped printing all of a sudden. The error messages are that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.

    My Dell 962 All In One Printer suddenly stopped to print. I get an error message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. The error message suggests that I unplug and plug back the power plug and the USB cable to the printer and make sure that there are no restrictions of firewall to the printer. I did what was suggested and still no printing. I have resinstaled the printer from the CD software, I got with the computer and also installed the latest driver using the software of the software upgrade wizard.

    and also installed the latest driver by using the Software Update Wizard software.

    That would not have been the best idea... but it is unlikely that the cause of your immediate problem.

    The next thread does not make much sense to me, but it describes a situation similar to what you described and the proposed solution is supposed to have worked.  Try it and see--> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/t/19483019

    I suspect that what really happens is that the driver has become corrupted.  In many cases, simply reinstall the driver is not fix things; you have to clean the old corrupt driver before installing the new.  Thus, it is more likely that the part "Uninstall" the related response is what is helping rather than playing with services... but go ahead and follow these directions, just in case.  In fact, I suggest that you run under first antimalware scanners before following the tips in the above link.

    If I had not found the link above, that's what I would have suggested (whichrequires that you have Windows XP):

    Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs.

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware

    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions  Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.

    Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan will take a while.  Start one and go do a non-it chore.  Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.

    Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both.  If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.

    Uninstall all software from Dell to control panel > Add / Remove programs

    Download Microsoft Fixit 50126 impression: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9662904

    Close all running applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    Run the Fixit routine.  Note: The routine Fixit has two modes, light and complete.  It will run in full mode when you check the box "Reset the spooler to print on values."  This will remove all printers, so if you have any other printer installed, I recommend running the Fixit in full mode.  If you have other printers and you do not (necessarily) want to reinstall them, run the Fixit in light mode (box unchecked).  This may work anyway.  You must restart the computer after you run in full mode; you need not restart after the Chase mode.

    After the Fixit has executed and you have restarted if necessary, make sure that the printer is disconnected from the computer and run the installation software.  You will be asked to connect the printer to a suitable place.  You can use the CD that came with the computer or download the software here (which is relatively hard to find, the claims of the main page of the 962 product support it cannot find the drivers)--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R89490

  • (Redirected) 2710 XPS Dell all-in-one

    Two years ago I bought direct Dell Computer XPS two 2710 in a computers within six months of each other.  When I bought the original unit is the upper part of the new line all in one computer and since I bought not less than twelve computers Dell directly from Dell in the past seven years for my business at home and gifts and have always been very satisfied with products I started using the unit of Service tag 8GNLBQ1.  There are about six months or 18 months after the purchase, I started to notice that both sides of the screen were becoming dimmer.   I decided to call a reputable technician who works regularly on my computers.   When he ran a diagnostic on the device, he said the monitor was going on and he also checked some rear lights that have a history of failing.   After looking at the unit, he said that I had to contact Dell and he felt that I don't want to run them on this machine as he is an all-in-one device for monitor and tower are combined into a single device that has a nice design, but can be difficult to work on.  About how to contact Dell and after talking to six people in customer service I was said the machine, which is two years old is obsolete and that they do not stock parts or they will try to obtain parts or service.  So basically I asked my last service rep what I do and he said I could get in touch with Geek Squad, they may be able to get the part.  Maybe, but probably not.  So I asked the Dell could attempt to get the replacement part and service?  No, he said, that the model is at the end of life.  END OF LIFE.  Two years old and I have a weight of three thousand dollars.  Everyone I spoke with, in the premises of Dell Customer Service was in India, everyone I spoke with basically told Dell really do not care a good customer who has more than one of these machines.  The company line is a two year old computer that just introduced one year previously, it was end of LIFE.  Another words computer Dell manufactured these units and they have design flaws that are deadly, and they are not behind their products.  The screen on normal computers can be replaced easily just buy a new, but with these machines, you can not replace the monitor because it is All In One.  Beautiful as it is that it's a pretty expensive paper weight.  Sad, that Dell doesn't care on the client or its reputation in this case just run faster that you can from a faulty design.

    Hi there @Pep3,

    I hope you find your experience of positive Support Forum!  It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, HP experts and other support staff.  I understand that your computer starts correctly.  I'm happy to help you with this.

    I can certainly understand your frustration with the situation, and I'll do what I can to help you through this. However, I have some information.  Please send the complete product number and check the operating system on your computer. Check out the following, if you need assistance with this information.  HP desktop PC - how can I find my model number, serial number or product? Computers HP - how to find the Windows Edition and the Version on your computer.  For now, I'll go on the assumption that you are using Windows 10.  

    The system always begins with the same message of self-healing, you saw the first time?

    When you were on with a cat person they suggest trying a system restore or recovery of the plant?  If your system is shipped with Windows 10 or regardless of the version of Windows was preinstalled, there should be a recovery partition, you can use, provided that the hard drive is not defective. In this case, try this document: HP - computers perform a recovery of the system (Windows 10) HP. That your computer does not start successfully, use the section titled "recovery when Windows 10 does not start correctly.  This will restore the original image, even assuming that the recovery partition is intact. The downside to this is any data you have stored will be gone after the factory recovery image, unless you have previously supported some of them up to an external drive or device.

    You may also want to consider some of the suggestions in this thread: Windows 10 repair restart buckles - windows10forums.com. There are several suggestions offered by some users who helped to solve this problem for others. There are also links to download an iso of Windows 10 to make an if necessary boot disk.

    Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.
