Dell XPS 12 Mini DisplayPort seems to have stopped working

Hello

My Mini DisplayPort seems to have stopped working. I can connect on the same monitor of the ultrabook even through the USB port. However, because I'm a geek of database I need up to 3 screens. So when I try and connect to my Mini DisplayPort monitor the screen resolution tab in the Control Panel recognizes the display. However, the actual display is empty. Mini DisplayPort has worked well for the last 8 months or so, but stopped working tonight.

The external monitor is; -Samsung; SyncMaster 941BW/940BW\199BW, SyncMaster Magic CX915BW (Digital)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Kieran.

I replaced the cable and now it seems to work.

Thank you

Kieran.

  • Satellite L755-11j - cooling fan seems to have stopped working

    Hello

    I have the model Satellite L755-11j and I'm really happy with it, strong, fast and reliable, I have only one problem: my cooling fan seems to have stopped working.

    I don't know if it's a hardware or software (BIOS is set to dynamic switch, and in the power management is set to 'Active') delivers, because I come from Croatia, diagnostic PC is incredibly overpriced here and I can replace the fan on my own.

    I want to just make sure I don't buy new cooling fan and my problem persists. Install speedfan and Toshiba PC health monitor only confirmed what I suspected, my laptop gets hot.

    I bought the external cooling fan to help keep the temperature of my laptop down, but with the coming of the summer that I really want to solve this problem.

    To be honest, it is not easy to help you with this. Is that cooling fan works automatically and there is not a special option where you can control. Only thing you can change is the cooling method option that you can find in the advanced power options > Toshiba power saver.

    Check it please what option is set to on. Of course on this virtual path, it is not easy to tell if the cooling fan is defective or not.
    It works or not? Can you notice hot air flow when you put your hand on the cooling grill placed on the left side of your laptop?

  • Is the new, focused on the Haswell, Dell XPS 27 Adobe RGB Quad HD have a built-in TV tuner?

    I am looking to buy a new base Haswell, Dell XPS 27 Adobe RGB Quad HD with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M graphics card. She will replace television in my den; I'll use two watching television as well as my home computer when I work at home. All (or at least most) comments I read mentions a TV tuner and remote control with the desktop computer, but I realize that they are all for the previous edition of the Dell XPS 27. My question is, does the current basic Haswell, Dell XPS 27 Adobe RGB Quad HD have a built-in TV tuner?

    Also, suite on it, am a Subscriber Uverse, AT & T and would obviously like to plug my new Dell XPS 27 with my AT & T Uverse TV subscription. With this, it would be ideal if I have good get my AT & T Uverse remote control to 'learn' the Dell remote codes to control TV and DVD/Bluray playback. Is this possible and, if so, how to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, it's the new Haswell basic XPS 2720.  Slot looks exactly like the mSATA to the right location.  See attached picture.

  • What is the best way to preserve my having iPhoto library merge my pictures of girls with mine that his iMac had stopped working.

    What is the best way to preserve my iPhoto library had fusion - UN-intentionally - pictures of girls with mine as its iMac had stopped working. Some how I have about 48 000 pictures now where before I was about 11 000

    The iMac's hard drive has been deleted in tact and two weeks ago, she bought a new iMac 27' which has only the "Photos" application, but in trying to restore his iPhoto library, it gets about 24% then stops with a po - up window saying "cannot continue due to inconsistancies", that these are we don't know.

    I think using his old h/drive connected via usb to my iMac, I managed to save his library.

    On an external drive, I would like to make my backups that are up to date for a few days so that my photos need to be secured.

    1. Can I remove my iPhoto library and then re - import of my external hard drive?

    2. Can I give my daughter a copy of the "iPhoto app" and install on its new iMac and then re - import photos into iPhoto?

    More popular tips.

    Alan

    I copy the library from the back to the top first before deleting anything, in case something goes wrong. You can choose which library to open hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch of iPhoto. In the menu that appears, select "Choose Library"

    No. but you can give him the iphoto library and she can open it with Photos.

  • Assassin's Creed and Hitman have stopped working, is there a solution?

    I have Creed of Assassin's I, II and brotherhood, Hitman: Silent Assassin, Hitman:Blood Money, Hitman:Contracts and the original 47 Hitman:Codename.  Now one of the seven will load and read, but it's the only program, the only one that does not appear on the list of installed programs, being the Codename 47.

    These games, used to work just fine until Ubisoft has improved the Game launcher to 2.x software and now all my games that are installed have stopped working and fail to finish loading.  They claim that the pitcher throws other programs on the PC outside their software.  Now none of them work, including other games that are not Ubisoft.  I tried CCleaner, uninstall, then reinstall, etc. anything.  They seem to have changed some of the files base within the Pro Win7 OS I use.  It of very frustrating and lost more time to try to nail down trying to find the changes that have been made.  Short of a new Win7Pro facility, which would empty all the software that I installed and if I do that I can as well wipe the entire hard drive, and then start over again, I really don't want to do.  I'm afraid that if I buy a new game that uses graphics to high-end of my CPU and GPU capabilities, it does not work either and it will just be wasting my money and time as well.  Is there any real help to this other question that the stars from scratch?

    I built my own off the shelf components, is a system of Wintel ASUS mother board and video card (ATI 1 GB), Intel processor i7 quad core 950 3.07 GHz, Win7Pro, 6 GB of DDR3 RAM, etc.  just a notch below extreme, built when the 950 had just been out for a month or 2.  It was and is still, works very well.  Somehow the OS files seem to have been changed.  All other software such as AutoCAD and other rendering software, works very well.

    So I think a Ubisoft launcher feature is supposed to prevent you from having to be online when you play the games?
    All of these downloads of steam games or are they a mix of disk and download?

    Have you tried disabling your Virus Ainti?

    I still don't think that the "launcher" mess with Windows is just a buggy application and is may be in conflict with something else.
    You can try running through clean boot to see if there are conflicts.

    If there is no joy in the light of the foregoing, and the game specific forums (I see there are a lot of entries when you perform a search on the web about the Ubisoft Launcher) do not always provide a fix, I'd be inclined to do a system restore and to uninstall the game and return as it is or wait until Ubisoft unravel the 'Launcher '.

    "Ubisoft and Steam do not have the Hitman series.
    Quite right - EIDOS

    "They really need to regroup."
    You're not wrong. Beginning with a focus on customer satisfaction and service rather than deal with the honest customers like the enemy, but unfortunately, Ubisoft is not alone in this attitude, it is pervasive throughout the "industry" of the game.
    Another reason for the bad attitude of the suppliers of computer software is the people

    Here in Oz, we can return a store bought game that wreaks havoc on
    remove the machine as this game is made to your (not offering is not an alternative to not install the Launcher is an abrogation of our rights), as something that does not work as intended or designed is deemed defective, but dealing with one online
    provider as the steam is a minefield with little protection by the law of sustainable consumption.

    Games Steam can be a problem. What I hated on steam before getting broadband services (only on 18mos ago) was having to update the game before you play. Even offline.
    I was unable to play (purchased on disk) FEAR2 for nine months because of the huge (a little less than 2 GB) patch. When HL2 is released, it took, I don't even remember how long, to be able to play the game for the same reason.
    I should have returned FEAR2 (HL2 came with a gpu) but I new that I have to get broadband in the end.  so I don't bother.
    Steam is fortunately fairly well adjusted these days. As long as you have
    Broadband and let the steam do as he wishes on the Steam Client and updates when you start Steam line, and then play games
    of steam offline is no problem.
    The new kids on the block are still going but one, ' to make the consumer a
    Beta-test of Guinea pig while we try to imitate the steam ' phase.
    GFWL (not exactly new) is always a big fight that I would be a little further
    (in my dreams).
    Come EA from what I've read is not much fun for some either.

  • My default metro apps have stopped working on one of my accounts (1).

    My default metro apps have stopped working on one of my accounts (1). This is a new computer with pre-installed software, and I don't want to do a system restore. I tried troubleshooting app now prevail, my norton antivirus was recently deleted, reinstalled and updated Norton. It seems that the only applications that open are those who go to the old UI (32-bit) screen. I can't call same pdf because an application is used to open it. Simply, it opens and closes almost immediately. I got an error "the remote procedure call failed." ??? It's nice, but what I do about it? All my searches on google did not a solution. I could like windows 8, if I could every get this works for me instead of working me for her. The account that does not work is the first story that I created on the machine, so it was created as a default Administrator account. I created a new account admin can I now change the name of the 'standard' account on the old account and then delete it? (I know I have to move some files first). I had a local account for my wife, and when that happened, I simply deleted and made an account of microsoft for it and all its apps still work. Internet solutions has suggested that it might be something "group policy". I have no idea what that means, I'm not a person I.T.. I'm really sorry, I bought this HP machine with windows 8. It seems that I have spend more time trying to understand how to solve what I do to use it. I paid a lot of money for it and thought I was getting a machine of high quality with the latest and greatest software solution and would be able to stay in place through technology. Would be nice if it actually worked.

    Because I've had my laptop cleaned and reloaded I try not to use this machine much more simply because my account has problems of application. It's pretty sad. Microsoft please do the right thing and find this bug and send an update of windows to make it is transparent to the user, if you want us to continue to keep our faith in the Microsoft solution. Not everyone is a computer expert.

    Thanks for any help you can provide (I got this computer since December).

    Delete the account completely and reconfigure the account with the same e-mail address. This is how I fixed my problem.

    All the apps work properly now.

  • Bookmarks have stopped working in Firefox 41.0.1

    Bookmarks have stopped working (i.e. I can't create new ones) in Fx 41.0.1. My old favorites are still there and they still work as expected. In the past, when I created a bookmark (' bookmarks > Bookmark this page') I would get a dialog box so that I could determine whenre the bookmark has been going. Now I get nothing, and I can't find any new bookmark.

    I don't know exactly when Fx itself 41.0.1 upgrade, but I first noticed this problem 2-3 days ago.

    Hi, it is possible that the update has interfered with one of your extensions - a number you need! So, try Firefox Mode safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    If it's OK in Mode without failure, you will need to temporarily disable all of your extensions one by one until you find the culprit.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
