• Dell XPS 13 9333 screen brightness problem

  Hello

  Another problem with my new Dell XPS 13 (model 9333) - for any reason, during loading or no, changes in brightness screen without saying me things to do (she just made right now by writing this sentence!).

  Any ideas on why this is happening? It's kinda like a light automatic on a smartphone but much more random thing! It really starts to wreck really my head.

  Any help appreciated no matter how silly it sounds!

  See you soon,.

  I found a setting called "enable adaptive brightness" which seems to turn off this nonsense.  On Win8.1, it is:

  Power options > change Plan settings > change advanced power settings > display > enable adaptive brightness

• Interference/Dell XPS 13 display screen flicker problem

  Hello

  I bought my laptop Dell XPS 13 (L321X) in December of 2012.  Starting in mid-2013, I began to experience my screen suddenly blur. I enclose a picture of what's going on. I don't think nothing of it at first, and honestly it would happen maybe once a month.  I thought that it was maybe that I had the laptop on my lap and it was be overheated.  In any case, I don't think a lot of it

  Since the beginning of this year, I saw that it started doing it more frequently.  Last month, it happened more frequently, to the point that it disrupts my use of the laptop.  I LOVE the laptop, except for this issue.  Can someone please help me understand what seems to be the problem with the display problem?

  I haven't tried the connection to the laptop to an external monitor to see if the problem is with my video player or a screen.  It's just hard to tie it to an external monitor at the time where the problem starts, because the interference goes away in 20-30 seconds.

  Hi all, I posted this message a few months ago.  I never received any positive suggestions or solving the problem, so I did what I do naturally when I'm out of options.  I reformatted my entire hard drive and re-installed windows and all the drivers from scratch.

  Pouf!  Problem gone!  Didn't happen for several months.  I guess that there is a bug in the version of the BIOS or display drivers.  I recommend others try this - it worked for me and I am in love with the XPS.

  Good luck!

• Dell XPS 13 flickering screen

  Hi, I've had my laptop for a few days now and I've noticed a few problems with the screen. It still flashes so slightly at random. Sounds like the screen slightly wearing off random times and is quite noticeable. It happens more when the captain is not plugged. I contacted technical support without help on the issue at all. The room sensor is off, as is the room sensor the worst I have ever dealt. The brightness is at 100%. The screen seems not bright enough at the same time. Any ideas? I reinstalled windows 8 two times already and still the same problem.

  UPDATE *.

  The user that says change the setting "Enable adaptive brightness" to OFF, is good for some people. This will work for some.

  IF this does not work... the ONLY solution I found, dealing with this during more than a year, is to change the projector and back to the LCD screen output. That ALWAYS works for me; However, once you restart, sometimes, it will return to the light but by changing Adaptive brightness allow OFF, the duality of these operations seem to be a sufficient remedy.

  Press Fn button, and then press F1, four times until the output of the projector setting is selected, then let go. The screen will turn black, of course, because the laptop think you use a projector. Then, simply press ENTER, and it will return to the LCD screen. The flicker should have disappeared... until, perhaps after a reboot.

  SO, this is very frustrating since this is supposed to be their flagship mobile product.

  I hope this helps.

• Dell XPS 17 702 X flicker of the screen

  I read everything I could the varrious formums and installed the drivers as much as I could, Nvida dell old and new, ancient and new, video intel old and new.  Nothing prevents the screen flickering on the battery power.

  I had the screen replaced by a dell technician, continues to blink.  The entire computer replaced and it still flashes!

  Someone at - it suggestions?  Seems that the pilots have no effect.  The only thing that works is to plug in the power adapter.  On battery, it sparkles.  I also have Nvidia to be all the time as well as the intel integrated video card without change. Technicians dell always change the power setting.  They seem obsessed with setting the screen for maximum performance on the intel integrated and the nvidea with no effect.

  Dell wants to send a new motherboard and screen.  I'm getting sick this.  The screen cannot be bad because it works on the current!  When you demand a refund?

  I like to keep it if it gets fixed I like it.

  I had the same problem of flickering on battery with my Dell XPS 702 X. After installing a new copy of Windows 7 on a new SDS drive with AG Full-HD 1080 p screen, I've updated all my drivers and use the bios A06.  That's when I saw the same problem you are having.  Since I don't see it on the old version, I searched the difference. My solution was to do a right click on the desktop and go to graphic properties and select the Advanced Mode. Click on the power tab, and then select Maximum Performance for both sector and battery.     Given that you have tried this and it did not fix the problem, you can have a bad screen.

• Upgrade of the screen for Dell xps 13

  Hello

  I own Dell xps 13 l322x (2014 model) and I consider that the upgrade of the screen.

  My screen current resolution 768 * 1366, not touch, and I wonder whether it is possible to upgrade for screen resolution superior touchscreen or both :)

  My current screen connector tag is D13 LVDS, and from what I've seen so far, the higher resolution connector tag is D13B.

  Thank you!

  Hi Tzion,

  It's all full LCD screen I mentioned which has the same physical dimensions as your existing screen. If there are questions most kindly send the serial number of the system via private message so that we can check the specifications of the system.

• Dell XPS 2710 all-in-One will not start, the totally blank screen

  Hello. This is my first post on the forums and I hope someone can help me.

  The Dell XPS 2710 all-in-one I bought for my 10 year old 15 months ago (Yes, that means that the guarantee is expired) will not start. No no post, no beeps, nothing. Just a brief spark of light on the screen, no words, nothing. The machine gets occasional use, and there is nothing to indicate what could have caused the problem. I have not upgraded the BIOS recently, is not as if it was a bad BIOS update, or whatever it is. I tried to hit the F1, F2, F12 keys delete during startup. No results.

  The video works. I know because I can connect my laptop to the HDMI-in port and I can see the desktop of my laptop very well. So the question is NOT the video. My son uses this machine for occasional movies and homework in his room. I want to fix the computer, if I can. I am handy with computers and built several machines from the outset in the past.

  I believe that the most likely scenario is that the motherboard has went wrong; There are several posts around the internet about motherboards 2710 AIO being unreliable. I saw an ad on the forums of Dell from a guy who said Dell Tech Support replaced its motherboard 2710 five times. I see that some of these motherboards are selling on eBay for around $200. I'm toying with the idea of getting a. I watched the service manual for the 2710 and I'm pretty confident that I could replace the Board of Directors.

  Someone had experience with permutation on their motherboard on a 2710 AIO? Or someone has any ideas on what could be the problem with my son's computer? I appreciate all the advice/help anyone could offer.

  OK, I have removed all the RAM from the motherboard (there were two sticks) and unplug the connector on the SATA hard drive. Then I turned on the machine and got two beeps very strong, but still no video on the screen indicating any form of activity of the POST. The sound signals have been first sounds I've ever heard during the procedure of boot on this machine. I put the RAM back in and re-connected the SATA cable. The way he has been, no video, no post, no beeps. I'm a bit at a loss for what I've decided, this means that the motherboard works technically and that another device on the machine is at the origin of the problem? Have I reason to assume that if I hear two beeps, then I should have the certainty that the motherboard was bad? Given that this a sound signal, the solution becomes cloudy, I guess. I can't help but feel that somehow the BIOS on the computer is damaged. Don't quite know how that could happen, however, because I have not updated the BIOS in over a year. I don't remember what BIOS version I have, but he had been working well for a year with no problems. Thanks for any other help/suggestions you can provide.

• Laptop Dell XPS 13 L322X: 8 beeps start after replacing the screen

  Hi all

  I have laptop computer Dell XPS 13 L322X (serial number: CC2YVW1).  I use an external monitor because the screen is flickering with vertical lines and ghosts of the colors. I've updated the Bios and the driver video and tried the diagnostic mode (power and the D - key... and) without success.

  I just bought a new replacement compatible screen but the I cannot start using the new form and meeting the 8 beeps are heard. I tried to start with the external monitor and using power on the laptop with the D key, the new screen of the laptop began to switch colors four times and return the sound signal.

  I tried to disconnect the battery and the AC power and maintain the power to drain the left stored energy from capacitors without success.

  Thanks in advance for your help,

  Sala

  In this case, return the set of sieves of replacement - it's probably the cable is bad (but since it is an integral part of the screen, the set should be replaced.

• Activate the touch screen capabilities fresh Windows 8.1 Install - Dell XPS 15 9530

  So, I had one that I puzzled. I just got a new Dell computer yesterday and as I did the last 10 + years, I install a copy fresh retail because, like most people, hate dealing with their additional software and prefer a clean install, so I don't just not deal with uninstallation, etc.. It turns out that that may have been a bad idea. After that the installation has been made, touch no longer works on the screen. I installed the drivers from the Dell site without success. The Device Manager has no missing material and all windows updates are up-to-date. Intel recognition system stylus and touchscreen capability there. I also checked the settings Pen and Touch on the contact tab and everything seems to be OK (everything I compare these parameters on is a Dell coming Pro 8, but they are the same). My suspicion and I might be away on this, is that I use a copy rather than the OEM of Windows 8.1 copy retail. I got tired of a Pro and a regular retail (Yes, two legal copies) and none worked. I don't know that new computers have the key embedded in the uefi (bios). I tried to install with or without the embedded key substitution. But it's the only thing I can think of and I hope you guys had a few ideas or someone else has had this problem and can help me to solve the problems. Model: Dell XPS 15 9530 with QHD touchscreen monitor +. Update: I discarded retail vs oem fresh installs. I tried an installation using backup/restore of Dell disks. Same deal. It is to be some sort of setting or driver who is not on their site.

  I cannot yet understand what has gone wrong, but Dell pulled out and swapped the screen out and it works perfectly. I swear it worked out of the box, so I have no idea how the material do not so fast, but the good news is that it is fixed!

• Screen color problems with Dell XPS 15 on battery!

  1 week bought a new Dell XPS 15 laptop, rear.

  Config: Intel Core i5, Nvidia GeForece GT 540 M (Optimus) with Intel HD graphics embedded, 8 GB of RAM

  The problem is that the color of the screen looks unreal, the color of the icons fade and look like whitish and 256 bits and faded color mode.

  The main point is that the problem only occurs when the system is running on battery. Is the problem with the Optimus technology?

  I have the latest drivers, it would be my course of action now?

  Hello

  I bought the brand new XPS 15 1 month back and I had same problem

  My features are Core i7 Nvidia GeForece GT 540 M (Optimus) with Intel HD graphics embedded, 8 GB of RAM.

  But I disable the functions of conservation of energy which is shown in the below photo attached and after that I didn't meet with this problem. U should also try and give me feed back to this topic.

• 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.

• Dell XPS Duo 12, can't reinstall factory.

  Hello!  I have a Dell XPS 12 duo running Windows 8 that no longer starts.  When it starts, I get a blue screen that says that the computer must be repaired and hit f2, f8 or f12.  When I hit F8, it returns to the same screen.  So it does not start in the recovery strategy.

  I can access installation.  All reports very well and I ran the diagnostics.   I got a USB stick recovery for this computer, so I can't try it, alas.ff

  Using a BartPe USB, I was able to start the computer and check the hard disk.  The recovery partition is still there and seems to be intact.

  So, it looks sort of startup files have been corrupted, and therefore recovery Dell cannot start.

  Anyone know if there is a way to manually create a recovery USB key or do a manual reinstall from the recovery partition using the command line?

  Thank you!

  Walt.

  Walt Hey, how you doing?

  Essentially to manually reinstall your original image, we will need 2 things:

  • ImageX 64-bit
  • Be able to start in a command prompt

  As you say you have a BarPE, I guess we're good with the second element.

  Let's get started :)

  First of all, download imagex from here and unpack it on a USB Flash drive.

  Then, start in recovery media (it can be Win 7/8 or BartPE. (Not sure about this one).

  Now, with the command prompt, start with these:

  • DiskPart
  • the list of flight
  • Select the flight X (where X is the number corresponding to your recovery partition, commonly called as ACB)
  • Assign

  In this way, you only give this volume one letter, so we can get on this.

  Now, type list flight and check what letter has been given to this partition.

  Then we will copy our file imagex.exe in the right place, so...:

  • Type your letter of USB flash drive, and then press enter (example: E: ( )
  • copy imagex.exe X:\Dell\Image (X = your recovery partition)
  • CD X:\Dell\Image
  • ImageX/apply X: banker \Dell\Image\Install.swm X: 1 Y \Dell\Image\Install*.swm
  • Volume ACB letter X:
  • Y: your letter of volume O.S

  Now, let's just wait until the process ends :)

  If you have any problems in doing that, please, let me know ok?

• Dell XPS M1330-

  Hi all! I am working on a Dell XPS M1330 computer for a friend. When I got it, it was equipped with Windows Vista at a very slow pace and was inflated with the PUPPY and malware. He had a few strange bugs too, as the fact that he made a high-pitched buzzing sound when he ran not related to the hard drive (I've heard of computers Dell XPS 13 done this before, so I wasn't worried) and the Control Panel does not open on one of the accounts. I decided to reset the machine, which was quick and easy. Then a problem arose. This morning, I had propped it against my laptop bag and I was in search, but I push the XPS in the process (he was on the floor), and he fell on my toe (OE). After that, I checked to see if she was okay, (seemed like a small fall), but the computer froze. I hard reset it and it had some serious trouble starting. I realized it was just because of low battery, so I plugged it in and it seemed to work fine. Then, 30 minutes later when it was installing updates and other it blue screened apparently without reason and says error: Memory_Management. I tried to restart, but he again projected blue. I ran the diagnostic in F12 menu, and he passed all the tests until the memory March test B, where Bank A failed. I tried to open the machine and change the RAM slots to see if one of the banks has went wrong, (the age or the slight decline earlier in the day), but on trying to start again, he would similarly refuse to start. He just lies empty and flashing the caps lock button. I ran the diagnostic LCD tapping powerbutton - D and who has worked, but all the rest fails. I even changed the RAM to the original banks, but he is still unable to do anything else. I broke it! Is it RAM, age, ESD, motherboard or what? Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

  The error memory is the likely cause of blue screen - and the hard drive could have been damaged in the fall.  the system starts with the hard drive removed?  If so, you could have found a flaw.  Try the memory modules one by one until the bad module or the Jack has been isolated.

  The other big problem with this, is that if the system has a nVidia GPU - these are well known for not having.  If the GPU is nVidia, it is amazing that the system still works at this point - most of them will have failed for a long time.

• Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

  I apologize in advance for the long post...

  Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

  I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

  When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

  I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

  What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

  Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

  Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

  Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

  Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

  The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

  For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

  1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

  2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

  3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

  4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

  5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

  6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

  These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

  I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!
