  • Problem Dell xps 15 L502x charger.

    I have a dell XPS 15.  Before a few days I started getting an error message: charger is plugged in but does not support.  Anyone have any ideas what it is?  Thanks in advance.

    I tried to re install quickset64, but he did not change this problem.

    I ask you all to out get me of this problem.

    I had the same problem and I bought two batteries and always the same, I thought to buy new charger but goanna is to be too much for this stupid laptop. its cost very expensive like MAC but that nothing according to MAC and I got a new TOSHIBA with the same specifications that my i7 Dell XPS 15 L502X stupid, with the price less than $375 and is much more than Dell which never recommended by me to any.

    If Dell respect his client and it is a respectful organization, should be remembered this point in the market and replacement with a new or to pay less. In this way, it will keep its reputation in a top.

    Thank you

  • Dell XPS 15 (L502x) problems with mSATA, it is even compatible?

    Hey all,.

    After you run out of warranty and immediately having HDD, I decided to install an mSATA SSD for faster boot times (with the possibility to keep a large spinning for storage disk). I bought a Liteon M3M 128 GB module and installed in the mini-pci-e slot in the compartment under the laptop.

    After that installation there no change, nothing picked up in the bios, nothing through a live Linux OS, nothing in the installer of windows and nothing in Windows itself (when I gave up and replaced the drive rotating and re-installed).

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS (A12) but this does not make any difference, I just googled and there is mention of a disabling Intel RST, but this option is not available for me in BIOS

    Is there something that I have done is wrong, it is likely that the device is defective, do I need some kind of pilots of special controller for installation of windows 7 or is this model of Dell just simply not compatible with mSTATA?

    See you soon,.

    -Dan

    Hi Dan,.

    XPS L502X supports the devices in the solid state (SSD) of 256 and 512 GB of capacity. However, I'm sorry to inform him that it does not support the mSATA disks. You can replace the hard drive with an SSD in order to improve the performance of the system.

    Please let me know if you need further information.

  • How can I find a copy of windows 7 for dell Xps 15 (L502X)

    Hello evryone...
    I have a dell xps (l502X) lap top... it's operating system (Windows 7 Home peremium) resulted in a mistake... and there is now no thereon oparating system, and I have no backup dist to restore it... My question is: there were can I download my lap top operating system?
    Tanks

    You misunderstood what George wrote.  Dells have a "factory restore Partition" and reinstalling Windows procedure that is described in the manual of your PC.  For example, here is an excerpt from the mine-

    Reference Dell Factory Image Restore [excerpt from manual for Dell Inspiron 1545]
    1. turn on the computer.
    2 when the Dell logo appears, press several times to access the Advanced Boot Options window.
    Note: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop; then, shut down your computer and try again.
    3. Select repair your computer.  The System Recovery Options window appears.
    4. Select a keyboard layout and click Next.
    5. to access the recovery options, log in as a local user. To access the command prompt, type administrator in the user name field, and then click OK.
    6. click on Dell Factory Image Restore. The Dell Factory Image Restore welcome screen appears.
    Note: Depending on your configuration, you may need to select Dell, then Dell Factory Image Restore factory tools.
    7. click on next. Data delete screen is displayed.
    Note: If you do not wish to continue Factory Image Restore, click Cancel.
    8. check the box to confirm that you want to continue reformatting the hard drive and restoring the system software to the factory condition, then click Next.  The restore process begins and may take five or more minutes. A message appears when the operating system and the applications installed in the factory have been restored to the State of the plant.
    9. click Finish to restart the system.

    You can find this information for your model on the Dell support website [through www.dell.com ] If you have thrown the manual of your PC and don't have any pdf copy of it.

    The manual of your PC will also be instructions for creating a set of "Recovery disc" and do this after the factory restore.

    In addition, the backup utility provided with Dells [mine is DataSafe Local, but that may have changed] has the ability to create a USB bootable from the "factory restore Partition" so that you can deal with a hard disk failure in the future.  So do because it is a valuable tool [an insurance against future problems] - they advised me to use a 16 GB USB key, but the image is only 6.2 GB so I could use a 8 GB USB key instead.

    Palcouk is also correct.  All this which may or may not have been provided with your purchase, Dell will provide a floppy disk to install OEM of Windows 7 on demand - the load is small, I think [I think I saw a post about it being $30].

  • The upgrade of hardware Dell XPS 15 (L502X)

    Hello

    I have a dell Inspiron 15R (l502x) bought 4.5 years back. I want to upgrade the laptop in any way possible. Here are my current features: i7 processor, 6 GB RAM, NVidia graphics card 525M, NIC Intel wireless N1030, 500GB HDD (improved to 1 TB).

    What all can update this sheet? HARD drive is already updated, then I'll upgrade the network card, as my system does not support ca 802.11. I intend to improve with Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260.

    What else can be changed? upgrade of the motherboard is needed to improve the system performance? Although the system handles everyday applications with occasional slowdown of the entire system. Yesterday, the idling system to a State where the audio was breaking.

    Please let me know what all can be done.

    Crucial to the States (and, if you purchase through its memory Configurator guaranteed) 16 G.

  • Dell XPS 15 L502X restore Windows 10 to 8 - is not the disks

    A few months, I installed Windows 10 back on my XPS 15 L502X. It seemed OK, but a bit clunky. Now I'm sick of it. It is so much slower, freeze things upwards, the Start button does not work, it takes forever to connect, webcam does not always work etc, etc.

    So, I want to return Windows 8.1. In fact, I grew to love this OS. Problem is that I don't have the installation diskettes. I tried to get some via Dell website but it came to a bit of a dead end and I'm not sure if they will be provided after the expiration of the warranty.

    Also, I don't seem to have an activation code on the case - is a problem.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you

    Chris

    You can get Windows 8.1 by following the instructions here:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-8-1-retail-and-OEM-ISO/

    But the performance woes are likely due to the fact that you have made an initial upgrade installation. They always perform significantly worse. A clean install of Windows 10 TH2 will work much better:

    You can install all internal, SATA, 3.5 ", hard drive 7200 RPM, up to 2 TB in size.

    Best to search hard drives Western Digital and Seagate brands, also check the length of the manufacturer's warranty, plus the better.

  • Reference Dell T620 recognizes only 4 of 8 hard drives installed

    I bought 7 additional 2 TB drives for my Dell PowerEdge T620, delivered with just 1 such disk is almost a year now.  My model has 8 bays of HARD drive in front and after the installation of 7 new disks that I note that only four drives in the top row of the berries are recognized by THE system BIOS.  I'm running Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 and deliverance 'fdisk-l' lists only four disks, as well (sda, b, c, d).  I hope to set up the disks in a RAID 6 configuration if I can get the system to see eight - is it a simple BIOS setting change?  Please tell me that I don't need another controller or similar?  If it can help on the side of the Dell Support of things, my ST is deleted by the privacy policy.  Kind regards

    Mark D.

    In order details, Service number, listed only one RAID controller is the S110 RAID controller onboard.  The S110 is the lower-end controller you can get.  IF you are still using the controller, then the problem is your controller only supports a maximum of 4 disks, AND it does not support RAID 6 (only 0,1,5,10). You should use the H700 for a storage system like that anyway (or the H310 minimum).

    If you actually have a high-end controller, then you are very probably absent the second cable SAS controller to the bottom of basket.

  • Dv6 - 6153cl supports hard drives SATA III?

    I have a problem with my laptop and I think I've narrowed the problem down to the HARD drive. I want to replace and update, but I don't know what drives can I use.

    I would like to know if I can install a SATA III HARD disk in my computer laptop dv6 - 6153cl. From what I can tell, it currently has an installed SATA II HDD. Can I switch from SATA III or am I stuck with SATA II?

    Download the SATA-III. Even if the motherboard supports only SATA-II (not true in your case), you can use the SATA-III drives. SATA is fully backward compatible. But, yet again, your motherboard HM65 chipset that supports support SATA-III. A good rule of thumb is that if it has USB 3.0 is also SATA-III. Not 100% true but terribly close to true.

  • XPS 8300 - steps to install boot hard drive replacement

    So my original Dell hard drive needs to be replaced because it has been send me errors and it is clearly a failure. If I get a new hard drive, I know how to get into the case and fasten the cables. Should I just turn on the computer with the system recovery disk I created previously? Do I need to 'Drivers and Utilties' disc comes with the computer? I've already invited Dell to the Windows 7 disc, but they never sent (4 years ago). I guess the system recovery disk should be sufficient. For any help or suggestion would be appreciated before I take the plunge.

    Hi Nively,

    Using this recovery disk, you will install the image of hard drive Dell of origin on the new hard drive. So, you will have all the drivers and original applications. Of course, you then need to uninstall all software that you don't want, like for example the MacAfee and install all the updates of Windows.

    Make sure the new drive has the same capacity or greater than your original drive.
