External port eSATA Studio XPS 9100 does not

Hi all

I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100and external eSATA port does not work or it is not detected. I have a Seagate FreeAgent external drive and it can't detected, and it is NOT power up when I plug it into the eSATA port. The FreeAgent drive works fine as it is detected on my laptop Dell Studio XPS 1645eSATA port. The drive is detected on the 9100 when I use the USB cable to the drive (plugged into a USB port, of course).

I tried to do some research online and some suggestions were to activate via the BIOS eSATA port, but the eSATA port is enabled in the BIOS. The wrong driver is installed on the device? I see the Intel ICH10 Family 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller-3 has 22 in the Device Manager. Is this the right driver to recognize the external eSATA port or is there something else wrong with the 9100?

Does anyone think that the external eSATA port requires an external drive with its own power supply? The 9100 is a 2010 model year environment, but I think it should not require a player with an external power supply.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi all

I grabbed an eSATA disk that has its own power supply (AC adapter) and trendy source on eSATA back port and he recognized the car.

It seems that the Dell Studio XPS 9100 has of an old eSATA port requiring a drive eSATA that she is clean in order to be energy source active on its external eSATA port. If you try to use a disk without its own power supply eSATA it won't work because the former eSATA ports enabling the way as the USB ports and the new USB ports hybrid eSATA . My laptop Dell Studio XPS 1645 a hybrid one of these ports so apparently it is why my Seagate FreeAgent working on it and NOT on the 9100 desktop. You can't plug a USB cable in the 9100 eSATA port certainly isn't a hybrid eSATA port.

I guess I solved my own question.

  • Studio XPS 8100 does not start

    Hello!  I have a 2010 studio xps 8100 (Intel (r) Core i7 CPU 860 to 2.80 GHz, 8 GB ram) and it's great when it works.  Last week, I was out of town and when I came back it would not start upward.  I can turn it on and start the fans, but it does not pass the POST and therefore does not start.  I tested the ram and it seemed ok (two beeps when trying to boot without ram, no beeps when ram is correctly placed).  The original of the graphics card died last year and I had it replaced with an EVGA Geforce GTX 750, I chose because it was one of the few cards that could work with the power supply 350w provided with your computer.  I thought that maybe the PSU was then replaced by a 500w PSU, but the problem persists.  I then read somewhere that if you SNYC date/time problems (which I was when the computer would turn on) that you need to replace the battery on the motherboard, so I did and still does not start.  I don't know what I can do, is the dead motherboard?  I tried the drain the power thing (release the button so that disconnected power for 30 seconds) and that didn't work either.

    Yes, but I'm sure that the battery is not the issue.  If it was I'd get stack codes error beep (5 beeps).

    Not necessarily...

    It does not pass the POST because it does not start...

    If the video card is faulty, the PC can still start but you just do nothing appears on the monitor, so I don't know that you can actually say that it does not pass POST.

    When you have tested the monitor with your laptop, did you use the same cable and video port on the monitor that you use with desktop? If you have used another port on the screen with the laptop with the office, this is not a fair test.

    Have you tried reinstalling the video card into its slot and check the connections of the video cable at both ends?

    This system has onboard video and Pluggable software component video card. So, you can remove the add-in card and switch the monitor to the onboard video port. According to the specifications, the onboard video has HDMI and DVI outputs, so assuming that your monitor supports either people, you have an easy way to test more.

    NOTE: The embedded video ports are DISABLED unless you physically remove the video card. If you cannot move just the video cable to a built-in port while the video card is installed.

  • Dell Studio XPS 435mt does not - light light orange card mother

    I had my Studio XPS 435mt for recent years and love it! Normally I leave my machine on almost every day all day so I can access it remotely. Well, today my power went out (the product is connected to a good surge protector) and now it won't turn back on.

    When I plug it in there is a green light to the rear of the machine and internally, there is a orange light, which lights up. When I press the power button nothing happens, not even try to power on. I read a few forums that suggest all of a new power supply, a new motherboard and even a job to 'put your motherboard in the oven' random.

    So my question is can I do anything to check what the problem is? Also, if it of a motherboard problem and needs to be replaced, where is the best place to get a motherboard? Reference Dell sells to them directly or I have to go to a 3rd party to track down?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    A type of power surge Strip does nothing to protect the PC during a power failure.  You need a 'UPS' unit to protect the PC during short power outages (most).

    As he ran, anything could have happened to the power supply to the motherboard to a component on the motherboard.

    As you have the power to 'keep' alive on the card mother, indicated by orange LED, power supply works somewhat.  Unplug the power connector 24 pins on the motherboard.  Then the rider GREEN wire to a BLACK wire and see if the power turns on (fan running).  If it does, it does not say the PSU is good (only replace it with a known good power is the only true test for a power supply), but it does not say the rotation of the problem is not in the power.  If it does not start, food is the likely problem.

    If the power supply lights the other most likely problem is the motherboard.  Reinstall (unplug and plug back in) the prior panel connector on the motherboard and then give it a try. If it still does not respond, the motherboard is suspect.  The power switch, itself, would be a very remote problem.

    Dell is a source for a replacement motherboard.  There are sites that sell Dell used/given to nine motherboards and ends up with a google search.  Only another mother of exact replacement fit and work.

    Finally, regardless of the tests do or anything that seems as it isolates a certain part, unfortunately only to replace the part really tell you if it's bad.  To avoid buying something you don't need you can make to a PC repair center renamed to what is really wrong.

  • Studio XPS 1640 does not start. No bios, no control of fan. Volume + / illuminate, flashes of silent light...

    The cooling fan is not test, or do anything else. Nothing on the screen or the other.

    I have re-seated ram to check it was OK

    A Google search is supposed to replace the motherboard. I did this and the problem persists.

    Someone at - it tricks, tips or advice please?

    Thanks for the reply! The problem was a crooked PIN. Once I straightened the PIN and reused thermal paste the laptop worked perfectly. I don't know if I did it, but I didn't have the old motherboard to see.

    I want to use my PC without having to rely on my graphics card. The studio XPS 9100 has an integrated video processing system? If so, how can I connect to that?

    I am aware that the Studio XPS 9100 is not an integrated video connector, and I have to use the connector available on the video card in the expansion slot to connect to my monitor.

  • Form factor card mother Studio XPS 9100 / size?

    I'd like to see if I can move at my Studio XPS 9100 motherboard to a smaller form factor case, but I don't know the size of the Board of Directors. Looks like it came in a full tower case. Does anyone know what the smallest case, is that it will fit inside? Maybe Micro ATX?

    Studio XPS 9100 manual shows all connectors of the motherboard and their functions for wiring. The question is whether or not the jury it self is mounting holes are identical to a standard size ATX motherboard. If this is the case, then it should fit in an ATX mid tower size.

  • Studio XPS 9100 video card update

    Hello

    I currently own a Studio XPS 9100, I am looking to update my video to a Nvidia GTX 660 card. My first choice of the map would be the GIGABYTE GV-N660OC-2GD, but I am concerned about cooling in my case, since it's a map outdoors. The card that's in there now is the Radeon HD 5770 standard with a closed around the map case. I know the case of XPS 9100 doesn't have a lot of fans and I wonder if I'd be better off getting a card with a case like the one that is there now, those who are better for internal cooling cases or are the two models of cards very well to use this system without modification?

    This card should work, but as you said would be throwing air hot back on the case and may not be the best for a stock case, unless you upgraded your fans or have a power supply that can compensate for the extra heat.  Should work well.   If you keep your machine in a well-ventilated vs in a Cabinet, you should be ok.

    If not, opt for one of these reference maps which has the shroud designed to channel air on the back of the card,

  • Noise of Dell Studio XPS 9100 CPU fan failure CPU fan

    My Dell Studio XPS 9100 did a loud intermittent noise for a few months and then last week I got a CPU fan fault message while booting. I blew all the dust from the fan and I always get the CPU fan failure message. I finally got the system starts by placing a small fan blowing air into the funnel will CPU/processor fan.

    Alas, my warranty expired 2 weeks ago. I'm kicking myself contacting technical support a few months ago, when the problem started.

    I need to replace the fan. What parts need me, and where can I get them?

    Thanks much for the reply.

    Thank you. After being tossed a little I transferred to the sales and ordered a new CPU fan for a cost total which includes shipping and taxes of $42.25. Too bad it wasn't 2 weeks ago, then she would have been free.

    The seller said that I would not need thermal paste. Is this correct?

    The most disturbing aspect is always the drivers: I find the Dell Drivers page very confusing because even when I let the Dell software detects my system, it gives me many more options that I think I need, including multiple versions of the same driver.

  • External USB 3.0 HARD drive does not work on USB 3.0 port

    Hello guys,.

    I have a problem with my external HARD drive and the problem is that it is USB 3.0 feature does not work in my computer.

    The curious thing is that it works very well in the SATA port or a normal USB 2.0 port.

    Y at - it a failure with the HARD drive or is there something wrong with my motherboard (M5A99 fx pro r2.0)?

    Thanks in advance.

    From my point of view of the few is not HARD drive problem because the HARD drive operates in a USB 2.0 port.

    I m wondering if you tried to update the USB 3.0 driver.
    Have you tried this HARD disk in another computer / USB 3.0 ports?
    I think that its worth a check.

    Also, I read on some problems of USB 3.0 controller from different manufacturers.
    Sometimes, it might be possible that some problems of compatibility between different devices may arise.
