Dell Inspiron One HDMI question

I have an Inspiron One 2320.  I tried to connect a TV as a second monitor.  To my surprise, the computer's HDMI port is a HDMI input port.  Am I reading correctly?  Can someone please help me and confirm that I can't use the HDMI port to connect to the TV?

If it is in fact a HDMI input, what is - this really for?  What devices that require an HDMI port to send the signal to the computer.

I am so confuse with it, and why even do a HDMI input and not a HDMI output?

Thanks in advance

I have an Inspiron One 2330 Touch.

Other features include an HDMI port... A HDMI-IN port. It would be something like a Blu - Ray player, cable box or DVR amp HDMI out, Tablet... something like that... like the Inspiron is a simple monitor or HDTV.

I was also surprised that the video output was only a VGA 15 pins. Maybe the next model will have a DVI output. At least this way, either natively or with a converter inexpensive... you can drive DVI, VGA or HDMI even (with no sound). DisplayPort is a versatile alternative.

In your case... If your template does not output a VGA (or your second monitor is not a VGA input)... you should be able to get a "USB video card.

  • Dell inspiron one a HDMI input with output usb audio

    Hi, I recently bought a dell inspiron one 2330 and some of my blu - ray high-fidelity discs do not work very well at all. :(un peu déçu car c'était la principale raison que je l'ai acheté.)

    So I tried my blu - ray player in the HDMI port, but now it only uses the computer speakers not my B & W Zeppelin air via the USB input.

    If advice how to fix the blu - ray glitch player that seems to start and stop on most of my records or produce audio output to HDMI input to the USB port would be much appreciated

    Thanks in advance.

    Which seems to indicate a problem with your video card. The cooling works may not properly. I would contact Dell on the replacement of it. This may explain the poor video performance.

  • Dell Inspiron One 2320 Nvidia GeForce GT 525 m overheating?

    Hello. I have a Dell Inspiron One 2320 I think has problems with the graphics card GeForce GT525m of overheating. 5 minutes of a game, even on the detail settings low, the temperature reached quickly 90 + degrees Celsius. The max I've seen is 96 degrees. This occurred on the first day with the computer and I rarely used it to this problem. I know there is no problems with fans and vents being dirty because I checked all and as I mentioned before the machine ran hot on the first day. Airflow behind the appliance is wide open, so I know that there is no obstruction to the air flow.

    My wife has a laptop (Inspiron 17R) with an Nvidia GeForce GT525m I've tested the same edition of the games and benchmarks on the, with even more detail settings and it reaches a temperature of about 70 ° c max.

    It seems strange to me that a GPU reaches a high temperature in such a short period of time. I have other machines (portable and desktop computers) ever approaching 90 degrees.

    Here is some relevant information on the PC in question.

    Model: Inspiron One 2320

    CPU: Intel Core i5 2400 s

    GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT525m DDR3

    RAM: 6 GB

    BIOS version: A10

    NVIDIA drivers: Tested several Versions Dell 8.17.12.7073 & Nvidia Version 306.97 not changes of temperature between the pilots, all are about 90 degrees Celsius.

    If anyone has experiences similar to this or has a solution I would be very happy. Thank you!

    Overheating was a problem with mine, I made a drastic decision. To fit 120mm fans for the back cover. Check the youtube videos on these mods.

    The cooling is normally a problem on these with many users complaining of the black screens and restart one of the videos shows how to mount the fans/vents aft to increase cooling.

    I therefore a 2320 Dell with i5 2500K (Non-Dell) quad core CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 2 TB HDD, DVD burner standard still in use via USB and mounted back cover driving fans cooling the GPU and CPU.

    Games played at max settings use to heat the motherboard to 97 degrees with the fan in place, he fell to-22 degrees to 75 c, which means that the machine not only better performance but last much longer due to the additional cooling.

    I'm using Core Temp to monitor the temperature and OCCT to the stress test.

In theory the HDMI can carry video and audio signals, so I don't know what the problem was. But the video part worked fine.

  • DELL INSPIRON N4010 WEBCAM QUESTIONS: PLEASE HELP... DELL CUSTOMER... AND ANYONE WHO HAS KNOWLEDGE REGARDING MY PROBLEMS...

    I have a Dell Inspiron N4010. Configuration: 1st generation i5 processor with windows 7 home basic 64-bit.

    3 months after the purchase of my laptop, I have updated my Dell webcam central through the applications update service... Shortly after the update, my integrated webcam has started to show problems.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:

    Shortly after the update of my installed factory Dell webcam central, my integrated webcam has begun to show the problem. webcam was able to start with any application such as Skype or dell central webcam himself. Instead, webcam LED flashes for flicker of a second, and then goes away without any streaming video.  Trying to open it, an error message is displayed: "your webcam can be used by another application. Close the application to launch streaming video".» Initially, the problem was temporary, that is occasionally the webcam began video streaming without any problem, but as the time passed, webcam stopped working almost completely.

    TRIED SOLUTIONS:

    I tried all the solutions mentioned below:

    • I uninstalled the Dell webcam software and reinstalled with the version installed in the factory, supplied on CD with laptop. Uninstalled the webcam via the Device Manager and reinstalled, but without success.
    • I heard that there is a conflict between the Dell face recognition software and dell webcam central. So, I uninstalled the dell face recognition software. After that, the webcam worked for a few days, and there still rebooted problem.
    • I went through various forums online, dell community, customer service, etc. and everything suggested tried but without success. I heard several times that this is not a hardware fault but driver error. Even in a few forums, its says that Creative Technology Limited have not been able to supply webcam drivers compatible with windows 7 64-bit.
    • I even did factory restore my laptop twice, but could not do my webcam works.
    • Then, I decided to format my system and installed windows7 again with the disc that came with my laptop. During this process, I have kept the recovery drive and the untouched OEM disk untouched. I have reinstalled all the drivers in such order as advised by Dell. Despite puts everything in order, I couldn't do my built-in webcam work. More... now I can't even access the Dell factory restore option despite the fact that my recovery disk is intact and it is to have all the files into it!
    • I tried the utility dell online Diagnostics. He could not detect any error webcam!
    • Few days back, I used the dell startup screen diagnostic utility and scanned the built-in webcam to find errors, and my webcam failed in all tests! Here are the screenshots of the tests:

    I GUESS I GAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH MY DELL INTEGRATED WEBCAM... I ASKED DELL CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HELP ME SOLVE MY PROBLEM OF WEBCAM... AND ALSO THE FACTORY RESTORE INACCESSIBILITY PROBLEM... PLEASE HELP ME...

    AFTER AN ENTIRE WEEK OF UNINSTALLING - REINSTALLING VARIOUS DRIVERS & SOFTWARE FOUND IN THESE FORUMS, SUGGESTIONS INCLUDING REINSTALLING WINDOWS FROM DELL DATA SECURE BACKUP.  THIS IS WHAT I LEARNED.

    My problem was. No supported webcam not connected when I ran dell webcam central. No program could access the webcam. Device Manager showed SPECIFIC DEVICE. Camera suddenly stopped working! I had a little more hair when this problem started.

    I have Inspiron N4010 windows 7 Home premium. Are the drivers for the webcam in windows 7, there is no separate drivers available anywhere. with the exception of some XPS models.

    A post in these forums suggests to abolish the plastic around the display bezel. It's simple. Just carefully go around and remove. It is clipped without screws on my system. This gives access to the webcam hardware. I got dell webcam central on-board. (showing no supported webcam connected!). Gently, I tried to disconnect the connector of the webcam. My intention was to disconnect and reconnect. I barely touched and the fire came and windows immediately started to install device drivers. A beep and an icon in the notification bar popped up. A few minutes, I saw my beautiful mug on the screen to my absolute delight.

    Guys, if you have a problem where Device Manager does not recognize your webcam for most probably, this is a hardware problem. The small rectangular plate on which is mounted the webcam is not properly secured by DEll. It is a DESIGN PROBLEM. The Board is located in place on two small round plastic holders without any screws. It can move easily. The bezel plastic when it is installed itself that holds it in place, but not very effective. When you open and close the lid of the screen, especially if you are taking in the middle where the camera you finally loose connector. That's why some messages will tell you what they camera has stopped working suddenly and then started working by himself all of a sudden. When I put the bezel plastic, it snaps into place, I was able to move the camera, and it stopped working again. A little gentle jiggle got running again and its been since.

    It does not matter what version of central webcam you have in windows 7. It runs on windows Vista service pack 2 compatibility mode. (Find WEBCAMDELL2. EXE file under programs x 86-dellwebcam-dellwebcam Central-dell webcam central. Right-click on the file name. Select Properties. Select the Compatibility tab and run this program in compatibility select windows vista service pack 2).

    If in your case even though there might be a software problem. always try this simple 2 minute solution b4 safe spending frustrating days find the drivers and software. Hope this post helps someone. May work on other systems too! Good luck! and thank you to the guy who led me down this path and misery!

  • Power supply problem with Dell Inspiron One 2310

    Hello

    I have a problem with my computer Dell 2310, as far as I can see that the power supply burned out or something similar. Blue bright lighting supply cable indicates that power delivery is correct, but the power light on the power button does not respond.

    I suspect that the power supply is blown and needs to be replaced, I hope that a replacement is available on the list of spare parts and hits on how to properly check if my preliminary diagnosis is correct. I see no reason to suspect problems with the other componentts such as motherboard, memory, disk HARD etc.

    Grateful for advice on how to check my diagnose some material.

    Kind regards

  • Dell Inspiron One 2330 AIO won't boot screen logo

    I tested new construction Insider look at window 10.  Everything worked and then Explorer froze and did not. I did a CTRL + ALT + DELETE and started the Task Manager to start Explorer.exe. But no reaction from the system in response to strikes. I was force to manually power off the machine.

    After that, now when I turn on the 2330 it turn on the fan internal and looking for the DVD player and goes to the screen of the Dell Logo just stays there. Stuck at the Logo screen. Start button / stop remains white. No matter what I'm doing, F2 and F12 while turning the power on, the computer does not respond. If I press the bar space a progress line comes under the logo and F12 will appear in the upper right. If I press F12 during this time, he doesn't think I'm for the start menu.  He's right there with the Dell Logo and it will stay like this for more than 24 hours or more, never a response.

    I unplugged the power cord and you press the power button for two minutes to discharge static electricity. It made no difference.

    It happened a day after my extended warranty expired. Last year I had this same problem and Dell sent a guy in my house with a new motherboard, which fixed the problem. Now a year later, my motherboard is dead again. And ideally for Dell, my warranty has elapsed the previous day, what is the problem with these motherboards? Why they keep breaking on me?

    Yes, it was the motherboard.  Dell tech came out and put a new in and everything works as it was before the MB has failed. Thank you rep Dell Rishi.
