  The error code indicates disk hard does not or fails and must be replaced, and then reinstalling Windows, drivers, and all applications.

  If you want to back up your files and folders, see if you can save up to other media, for example, an external USB hard disk or flash drive.

  If you have a warranty from Dell, contact Dell Technical Support to replace the hard drive.

  No warranty, then you must buy the replacement and install it yourself.

• Drive hard short self-test failure and how to recover my data if HD packages in, also how 2 recovery to win 8.

  I have a computer dell laptop vostro 2520 it is the only 2mths old, already I'm short self-test failiers whenever I have an HD test!. It still works very well, but im worried he's going at any time!  The diagnostic test via (f12) after start-up also breaks down the hard drive but all the rest! I have the windows 8 support of recovery disk os only, comes with the cd of the laptop, the resources and the media and have backup on a given traveller! I'm not very good when it comes to pc but im learning! can I use discs that I have to re - install win 8? or if I do an image of the original system which allows? any help with these would be awesome! im not that familiar with computers as ive already said how do I a more thorough test to find out exactly what is causing the problem? Thank you for taking the time to read this and give me your comments. Dee.

  The hard disk will fail for sure either sooner or later, but it is a good idea to take a new hard drive and replace it with the old.

  You can use the Windows 8 installation CD/DVD to reinstall Windows 8 in the future. If the system breaks down suddenly and you have not taken any backup of important files, creating full system image is always recommended.

  Good luck!!

• XPS12 SMART short self-test fail WHD16 LY6

  "When you run the Dell ' Checkup" utility on the SSD drive, the drive will fail with:

  SMART short self-test fails WHD16 LY6

  The remaining tests are ignored. The suggestion is to update the firmware. However, my drive is:

  LITEONIT LMT-256M6M 256GB mSATA

  and I can only find firmware on the Dell site for both LITEONIT SSD 256 GB drives, or precisely what mine are. (Only LITEONIT LCS-256M6S 2.5 256 GB and LITEONIT LMT-256M3M MSATA 256Go are listed).

  I have the latest drivers for the disk (9Q23_Storage_Driver_X6KKJ_WN_11.5.0.1207_A01. (EXE)

  Are there available firmware, and if so where is it please? Otherwise, what is the next step?

  Thank you.

  Thanks, EJN - F12 diagnostics appear clean. I guess that I'm worried about this then.

• Dell Inspiron 17R will not start

  Hey,.

  My Dell Inspiron 17R laptop 5720 was working fine until today, she won't start now. I had a virus, but Avira seemed to clean it properly, so I thought everything is ok now, but after restarting my laptop I didn't even have the "Dell" screen more. I've been Googling this topic for hours, but no one seems to have this kind of problem. Most of the users get stuck after the POST screen, but I don't yet get there. I just press the power button and that's it - laptop starts, but doesn't show anything. 1 out of 10 times, I managed to start and it works perfectly, even restart Windows it works then, but once disable us it probably will start again for the next 7-8 attempts.

  Things I've tried:

  -Remove the battery, hold the power button / stop for 60 seconds

  -In the course of running Dell Diagnostics (regular and thorough mode) test - it detects no error

  -Commissioning with or without battery

  -Flashing of BIOS (A14)

  -Reinstalling Windows, even tried Linux

  -Remove the strips of memory, trying to start with one stick (I had 2 x 4 GB) - will not change anything

  It looks like a problem that does occur from time to time. It is a hardware or a software problem? Is there anything else I should try before sending it for repair?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi randomthings,

  I appreciate for all stages of misjudged shootings.

  I recommend you to disconnect all external devices. Turn on the system and check if there are codes of beeps at startup.

  Given that the system turns after several attempts, it may be due to poor nutrition or inadequate food, bad drive HARD or other hardware problem.

  A poor, distressed or inadequate diet is often the cause of this problem. If the hard disk does not have enough power during the first time the computer starts, it will not be able to spin the platters of hard drive fast enough to start the computer. However, if you restart the computer, two, three, or four times, because the platters spin already, he is able to get the drive to speed and able to boot from the disc. Try with an AC adapter / CC known good and control; If the problem continues, I suspect it is a HDD failure.

  Please, remove the HARD drive and turn on the system and check the status.

• failure of the targeted reading test and smart short self-test

  I have over problems with my computer is - it related to software or hardware?

  Please advice

  • The purpose of S.M.A.R.T. is to warn a user of imminent drive failure while there is still time to take action, such as copying the data to a replacement unit.

  The above is an excerpt from the article below:

  S.M.A.R.T.
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

  The thread below from Windows SevenForums describes possible solutions:

  Windows 7 - SMART short self-test fail
   http://www.SevenForums.com/hardware-devices/148900-smart-short-self-test-fail.html

  I strongly suggest you to immediately perform a backup of all your personal files, data, and anything else that is important for you to external media (an external IMO is better but you can also use CD/DVD or a USB flash drive) until the hard drive breaks down.

  Kind regards

• Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 does not work with the charger. Charger is not recognized. No problem with charger.

  My Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 does not recognize charger. And unfortunately my warranty expired 2 months ago.
  It was plugged and work in the morning, but then in the afternoon I noticed he was running on battery only. It does not start without battery (charger just plugged).

  1 this is what I did to debug. Me and my brother, we bought the same computers Dell laptops at the same time a year and a bit ago. That's why a debugging purposes, it was good.
  I took my charger and plugged into his computer. And it works. Certainly not the charger problem I guess. And when I plug the charger my computer, green light is still on the charger. And I have the original charger provided with the laptop.

  2. now, laptop is running on battery only, so that means that this motherboard works. I think so.

  3. the next thing I did was charger disconnected and removed the battery from the laptop. Then I pushed and hold the "Power" button for 45 seconds to pay a royalty to the flea market. Charger plugged in but laptop will not start.

  4. then I booted the laptop on battery, went to the BIOS and check if the charger is recognized in the BIOS. No, it does not recognize charger. So, if this isn't a charger so what else can we?

  5 laptop has no strange smells so I don't know if something happened with the motherboard, but I guess that motherboard is ok because it works battery.

  6. I was thinking of updating the BIOS, but I can't do it, because it will be not be updated then the laptop runs on the battery, it needs to be plugged.

  Now I'm stuck. I don't know what I can do. I'm willing to spend a little more money on it to try to fix.

  If someone had such a problem in the past please let me know what you have done and if it fixed it.
  Or if anyone has any other ideas, I will be happy and appreciated the help.

  Hello and sorry for this late post. Just had this problem... If there is nothing wrong with the AC adapter, it's a software problem.

  Close the laptop... Unplug the AC adapter / CC... Remove the battery... Plug the power adapter... Start the laptop... Go to the control panel... Find and select the Device Manager... Batteries, left click... Uninstall Microsoft AC Adapter, uninstall Microsoft ACPI compatible with battery control method... In fact, uninstall all you can under the batteries, but that should be all there is. It will be re - install when starting... Stop cell phone... Remove the AC adapter / CC... Replace the battery... Plug the power adapter... Start the laptop... Now, everything should be good.

• Dell Inspiron 17R laptop computer stand

  Help!  I have trouble finding a laptop computer support who will properly hold my Dell Inspiron 17R, especially at the front.  Recommendations, please?  I would be * extremely * grateful.

  There are different types of laptop stands. As you can see on this Ebay page.

  I looked for cooling stands for a portable 18 inches. They have a fan that helps keep the laptop cooler. I think it's closer to what you are looking for. If you do not want the fan on you don't have to plug.

  Hello

  I had a problem when you try to restore my Dell Inspiron 17R in a factory reset of the it comes with Windows 7. I try factory reset or restore a picture made to an earlier point in time, I encounter the error '0x400110020000100A' in just a few steps, and the system restarts again. I don't mind losing all the data and am completely at my wits end I don't mind to do a clean install either. How should I proceed?

  Thank you.

• Special Edition of Dell inspiron 17r

  Hello, I just bought a dell inspiron 17r special edition, with a NVIDIA geforce gt 650 m, but when I run the NVIDIA card Board, I am not able to use it with display of how can I put the NVIDIA card to work?

  It should be used by the application.  What you are trying to do (the nVidia chip by default) cannot be done - the GPU from Intel, by design, is always the default.
