Discoloration spots on the monitor of Inspiron 4100

I just took an Inspiron 4100 with 128 MB of RAM, 16 MB video card ATI.  He appears to have been very little used.  I wanted to strip down to the minimum because there very little RAM right now so I tried to reformat and reinstall Windows XP Pro.  It came with the original OEM and COA disc.  The disc has never been opened.  I also updated the BIOS to A13.

At some point, something must have gone wrong, and I can't understand how to fix.  When the "Welcome" screen is in place there is a large pink ring on blue background.  When I log on the screen background (desktop Windows XP background with clouds and the green hill) has some pink spots scattered across the clouds.  The best I can describe it is it is it looks like the video is not done its display and the rose appears where another color should be.

He did not have this problem until I started with the new facility.  In fact, all started during one of the updates later I was doing and began to show all the time I was doing a few optional upgrades, KB925876 Remote Desktop Connection Terminal Services Client 6.0 and KB920342 update for Windows XP.  I don't think that he had nothing to do with updates, but it's strange how it happened for them.  I tried to reformat and reinstall, but the problem continues.

Thanks for any help.

  • Need help to connect the monitor to Dell Inspiron Dell

    I recently bought a laptop computer Inspiron 17R in order to reduce the use of my laptop Precision M6600. A Dell U2312HM monitor has been used precisely as a second monitor and I want to use with the Inspiron system newly acquired as a second monitor. The different video ports on both of these computers and I failed to get the monitor to work with the Inspiron. While the accuracy using an older VGA connection, the new Inspiron using a HDMI connection. To further complicate the issue, the monitor has several ports to connect to a source of video output, which includes the DisplayPort, DVI, VGA and ports for USB connections upstream and downstream, but not including HDMI. I used a DisplayPort to HDMI Cable adapter trying to to connect the Inspiron to the monitor, but could not produce an image on the screen of the monitor. This continuous monitor to answer correctly when it is attached to the precision via the VGA cable & port so I'm confused as to why I had no luck by attaching the monitor to the new system with the adapter DisplayPort to HDMI.

  • A dark spot in the x 200 Tablet monitor

    Recently, I found that my x200t was a dark spot on the upper right corner and decide to send it to Lenovo for repair.

    A few days ago they told me that the dark spot is damaged pressure and I have to pay to replace the LCD for $750.

    It's so ridiculous. I spent $300 more to have this fancy dual-touch LCD. How the LCD may be damaged in normal use of the touch screen?

    I use my tablet a few hours a day, but I'm not a user of touch screen heavy. And I just got my x200t last Oct. Half year of normal use, my LCD was then damaged by the 'PRESSURE '?

    If I hit my LCD screen with something, the touchscreen should be cracked first. This does not create a dark spot of the LCD.

    The only reason that I can think of is the poor quality of the LCD that can not handle half year to use touchscreen.

    Someone at - it had similar problems?

    After a month of fighting, I finally found my X200t and fixed.

    Note to self, be very careful about the touch screen.  They are fragile and expensive.

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all, you should tell us which laptop computer and operating system you have.

    I put t know what the reason is for this, but first you must simply determine if it s a question of internal or not display. Therefore, you must connect an external monitor to your laptop and check the top image.
    If you n t have the same question it s a problem of display internal and I think that it should be replaced.

  • The monitor resolution

    I just bought a very good 24 "LCD monitor. The ideal resolution for that is 1920 x 1080, but my old Dell Inspiron 630 m resolution only goes to 1400 x 1050. Do I need a new player or a change in the parameters of the monitor to get the resolution that I need or it is not possible to get it on this old laptop?

    You can only get a resolution that is supported by your graphics driver, so if the lates Dell graphics driver does not add this resolution will not happen

  • Insect caught in the monitor u2414Hb and support is a disaster. No service tag

    First of all the question I seek to solve. A small insect, probably a fly has managed to make its way into my monitor in any way. It became lodged between the Panel and an outer layer or in the Panel and quickly dies. And has been stuck in place for more than a month. Attempts to dislodge without disassembling the monitor failed.

    Now, AFAIK disassemble the monitor to clear it will void the warranty and risk of damage to the screen so I prefer to avoid. I decided to contact the Department of support or guarantee dell to see if we could do something on this end.

    The monitor was purchased new from NewEgg.com on 01/01/15, with an indicated 3 years manufacturer's warranty. So, it should always be in the manufacturers warranty period.

    Although none where Dells website, or via their telephone system you can contact the technical support or departments without a number of warranty service. My monitor does not have a serial number, and Dells own materials state clearly that stand-alone monitors sold prior to 2016 (like this one, in 2015, has bought manufactured 2014) do not always have a service key.

    I tried every number on my monitor and its box, both online and telephone assistance. A number search as a service on the Web site key (but not with the telephone assistance) and appears as a system of office since 1997.

    Telephone service has been terrible. Repeatedly asking a service key, even when I explained that I don't have not one. Repeatedly ask me about Dell computer system I bought it, despite my clear statement that my problem was equipped with a screen of stand-alone and that I was not the owner of a dell computer system. Repeatedly asking me a Dell order number, despite my stating clearly it was not purchased from Dell, but bought new from newegg.com. Repeatedly telling me to contact the seller (newegg) to some how get help as a guarantee of the manufacturer. They told me a serial number was unnecessary because millions of people had bought monitors with this serial number. As if this makes no sense at all. I was told that a product model could be used to find what product I was calling about. I was told no numbers appearing on my device, or on its original packaging (that I kept) could be found in any system. I was transferred to several operators in several services all followed the same scenario and giving the same spiel on the * service tag. Before an operator involved, I've been dishonest and has asked for my phone number. All this despite the pages of Dell support stating clearly that some of their products do not have a key support.

    It does not appear to be process at all to deal with Dell products manufactured and sold without this little number that supposedly so critical. Dell apparently cannot do anything with the model # and # series uses all manufacturers in the world.

    . Exactly how to make contact with the service the customer without a service key.

    And can do something about the dead bug that introduced itself in the center of my screen as a brown spot little? Or am I stuck risking the destruction of my monitor with a canceled warranty? It doesn't make sense that a bug should be frankly worm its way between the layers of the screen.

  • white spots on the screen of the touchpad

    I just got a 32 GB touchpad. I noticed that there are some white spots on the screen. One of them near the top left of the screen is very notciable but only on a clear background as white and light gray. The special white spot appears brighter than the background (slightly bluish). It is about 2-3mm in the Center and extends the region approximately 10 mm. Also, anyone notice the same thing?

    I would not bother to repair unless the white spots get more over time. I wonder if this is a sign of failure. Thank you.

    P.S. shapes of white spots appear similar to these well-known yellow spots on ipad 2.

    OK, answered my own question. After some Internet research, I am convinced the white spots (or stains specifically) are "pressure damage. It could have happened during the Assembly process. Some have said that this kind of problem could get worse with time (as one of my LCD monitors). In any case, I discuss with CS and they will repair screen touchpad for me.

  • Inspiron 4100 compatibility with SSD

    Hello

    I wonder if the disc KingSpec PATA IDE (44Pin) 2.5 64 GB MLC SSD KSD - PA25.6 - 064MS is compatible with the Dell Inspiron 4100. Runing Windows XP.

    You will need to check with the manufacturer.  It will connect physically - but with XP, a TRIM utility is necessary for bone (the BONE will be thrash the reader into oblivion in a short time without it), so don't forget that they provide one for XP.

  • External monitors Dell Inspiron 15 (7537) with Nvidia GT750M.

    I am literally pulling my hair!  I can't find specs tell me what types of resolutions and refresh of the monitor are supported.

    The laptop has only a HDMI port (no DisplayPort - I did not notice it before placing my order mid-2014) and now I'm stuck with HDMI.

    This weekend I tried hang my laptop to a 4 K TV - it made the TV - but only if the internal display was given - and, even in this case, the refresh rate was really bad... I'm only a casual viewer video - but I found the jerks of unacceptable frame rates.  This suggests strongly that the laptop is not HDMI 2.0. I know now that I must look at lower resolutions 3840 x 2160

    I want to know... If I buy a WQHD monitor and connect it to HDMI, it displays in 2560 x 1440 while also driving the internal 1080 p monitor... or what I have to go down up to 1920 x 1200?

    All this is * very * frustrating.  I hope someone can tell me what my laptop will support (to the native resolution and native refresh rate.)

    I am pleased to announce that... Fortunately for me... the post above to 1920 x 1200 being the maximum external resolution is flat.

    I read the response a few minutes after I had placed an order (after carefully checking the return policy) for a monitor Samsung WQHD (a S27D850T).  I have it plugged into my Dell Inspiron 15 7537 (with graphics GeForce GT750M and weird HDMI Intel connection as the only option for an external monitor) it ensures * BRILLIANTLY *-no configuration issues; 60 Hz refresh rate; 2560 x 1440 resolution.  It extends from my internal display.  Perfect performance, as far as I can tell!  No quality no questions at all.

    I can also confirm that my Dell Inspiron 7537 * may * lead a 4 K TV over HDMI... I tested this weekend... It is not clear if it's the fault of the TV 4 K, the Dell or a combination of both... but only, I could get 30 Hz refresh and the rendering of images in movement at UHD resolution was not acceptable - it felt 10-15 fps.  I tried 3 different sets of 4K (because I could not find all the monitors 4K!) Two does not have an image to 4 K - the third, only when I turned off the clean laptop screen.  Perhaps I might have gotten a 4K screen work... but I am very happy with my purchase WQHD.

    I can recommend the WQHD Samsung S27D850T for the Dell 15 7537 port HDMI Intel with chipset Nvidia GeForce GT750M.  I can not, however, recommend Dell on its documentation, or support.

  • How can I turn off the monitor (e.g., "standby") via the command line at the push of a button (or any other shortcut need not additional software)?

    Hello

    I don't like it when, after a break from work on my PC, the screen turns off as set up through "Power Options" in the control panel. That's why I put the relatively high threshold.
    However, when I know that I will not need the computer for a while, I want to save energy and wish the mode "sleep" could be activated immediately. Turn off the screen is not an option, because it has a USB hub built-in - off completely would be to unplug any connected device. Usually, if the computer has always works and might need the resources connected.

    Ideally, by pressing a button (or start a program or something), the screen would immediately go in mode 'sleep'.

    On systems prior to Vista and 7, IIRC, running a command in the sense of:
    Rundll32.exe user32.dll, SendMessage (HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, 2);
    would do the trick. The dll should run the command to set the monitor to sleep. We could create a shortcut or even integrate the command in a batch file, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on Vista or 7.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to do it on Windows 7?

    I would strongly try to avoid having to install any additional software to help me. (There is quite a little all about, even free applications that promise to do exactly that, but I want to avoid them if possible.) "And I can't believe that this basic that could be done on XP cannot act more on 7!).

    Thank you for your help,
    NicApicella

    Hello

    Sleep is one thing and switching Off the Display is quite another.

    I found a way to turn off the screen in case you don't have a hardware switch or a keyboard shortcut as in my Dell Inspiron laptop (Windows 7).

    Create a batch with the following script file:

    echo off

    C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe-changer - monitor-timeout-dc 1
    C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe-changer - monitor-timeout-ac 1

    START/min/Wait C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr s

    C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe-changer - monitor-timeout-dc m1
    C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe-changer - monitor-timeout-ac m2

    with the idle time to turn off your screen set in the Control Panel, replace m1 and m2.

    Control Panel > Power Options > any 'Active' diet Plan > change Plan settings > disable the display setting (minutes).

    For example, in my computer laptop m1 = m2 = 30 and 10.

    Now create a shortcut to the batch file and optionally assign a keyboard shortcut and an icon.

    Explanation of the script:

    The first two commands sets the idle time Display Off for the minimum possible setting of 1 Minute for the AC and DC (battery) power. The third command put the system mode blank screen saver 'instantly' and / Wait for the screensaver to terminate application. After 1 minute of inactivity, the monitor turns off power completely.
    The Saver screen/Wait is over by the event of the reactivation of a movement of the mouse button, the last two lines of code will come back the idle time-out settings of origin defined in the Panel view. This to ensure that after waking up, the display does not Turn off all 1 minute of inactivity expire.

  • 2007FP driver monitor, desktop Inspiron 530, Windows 7

Is it possible to obtain a new driver from DELL that will work with my system?

  • App for free weights and the monitoring of sleep

    I'm new to Apple Watch and would like suggestions on application of lifting weight, and also for the monitoring of sleep.

    I had very mixed results with 'sleep followed' apps for the  watch. I landed on an application for the phone called sleep Cycle that uses the microphone on your phone, sitting on the nightstand next to you to track sleep instead. Don't ask me how it works, but it does. He also knows that my wife is using the application itself across the bed and that is not what we do mixed.
