Inspiron 15 7537 beep HDD

I have a new Inspiron 15 7000 (7537), and from time to time as some taps on the keyboard, I type cause a beep that creaks coming from the area of the HARD drive. I'm not alone, there is a video to youtube of the exact symptoms here:

cs_setInnerHtml ('video_df98d153-46de-4e66-a130-12c9cd9370a7', ");

For me, it is sporadic (sometimes for a few hours while typing and then is silent for a few hours - it can be whenever I use the laptop that I move between each use)

It's the least extremely irritating, in the worst worrying cases.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any ideas what could be the cause of this? My new HDD is about to fail? A sign very worrying laptop otherwise quite nice...

Thanks for any help,

Jason

I think I followed the problem down to the driver from Dell free fall Data Protection . This is supposed to park your hard drive instantly head to avoid any loss of data if you drop the laptop, but it seems I have a duff accelerometer that triggers this behavior of parking if the case is tapped lightly.

I uninstalled it (Control Panel > programs > electronic accelerometer ST) 2 days ago and the noise has not appeared since then, so it seems likely that this is the solution.

(I'm not worried about dropping my laptop. I have never dropped one, I have a good backup, and I'll be happy to get rid of this uber-slow HARD and drop in an SSD - so for me the free fall is unpleasant in any case)

  • Inspiron 15R 7537 does not connect to the mini speakers Bose SoudLink Bluetooth

    I can't connect my mini speaker Bose Bluetooth for my Inspiron 15R 7537. It does not appear in the list of available Bluetooth devices so that my cell phone, so I know that Bluetooth is turned on. -I placed the speaker Bose directly next to the Inspiron 15R and tried to add it, but no luck. I am running Windows 8 on this laptop. In the Device Manager, I right click the Bluetooth of Dell and Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator (whatever it is) and selected 'update software of the reader' but the message came up saying to my drivers are up to date. -I have 2 other Dell computers that work well with this speaker - a desktop computer XPS 8700 running Windows 7 and a Tablet Dell coming 11 Pro running Windows 8.1, so I know that the speaker works. I was able to pair and connect the Bose speakers for them and they play very well. The problem seems to be with the Inspiron 15R. I would like suggestions. Thank you.

    Hello. Try to ask questions about the problem of connection on the Network wireless Internet card.

  • 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.

  • Inspiron N5110 - 8 beeps at startup

    I have a Dell Inspiron N5110 that when turned on beeps 8 times.

    The LCD lights up and the power light but no screen startup Dell or something. Only 8 beeps over and over and over until I turn it off.

    I tried to boot the laptop with and without the battery, with a different power converter, I tried to put back the RAM sticks and none of it works.

    I tried to boot into Diagnostics with F12, but the departure of beeps before I had the chance.

    Anyone has ideas or know what 8 beeps means on this laptop model?

    Hi IntecIT,

    The Dell Inspiron N5110 might emit a series of beeps at startup if the LCD monitor cannot display errors or problems. The beeps 8 on this model indicates an LCD failure. However, I suggest you try to plug a well known external monitor and check if it works (if available).

    Do not respond with your findings.

  • Inspiron 3520 - 7 beeps at startup

    Inspiron 3520 - just out of warranty. Black screen on startup, with 7 beeps, repeated.

    I understand that that beep code means a mother card/CPU error - a reinstallation of the CPU worked for those who have this error or do not need to do?

    Inspiron 3520 - just out of warranty. Black screen on startup, with 7 beeps, repeated.

    I understand that that beep code means a mother card/CPU error - a reinstallation of the CPU worked for those who have this error or do not need to do?

    No, reinstalling the CPU does not work because the problem is to solder on the motherboard and requires reinvest the solder on the affected chip or replace the motherboard, that will cost more than a 3520 off-warranty is worth it.

    This is caused by a manufacturing defect, so I think you have some recourse under the Sale of Goods Act, if you are in the United Kingdom, even if it is out of warranty.

  • Dell inspiron duo 7 beep codes on startup!

    Hi, if someone could help me would be great! I get this code 7beep in the mother board, whenever I try to start my inspiron duo 1090, nothing on the screen just a code 7 beep not as 3-2-2 or 3-4 or something is a 1-1-1-1-1-1-1. I saw on the net that this is common and is just a false alarm from the motherboard, and that dell support told ppl for just the FN key when starting and that circumvents the P.O.S.T. and boots to nothing once again, some say ppl just left they are computer he tried like 2 weeks later and started as usual. I tried the FN button to work around the P.O.S.T. but nothing happened and my Duet is out of warranty and I don't want to pay for a false code or something please someone help me =)

    I found an American site showing how to solve this problem in half an hour. At first I thought is was crazy. I was desperate, so I tried.

    With the laptop on and beep far wrap it up tightly in a towel and place under the duvet. Leave it for 1/2 hour, then roll out and turn off. Let cool and then turn it on. I write on a computer laptop dell which had 7 beeps and the above treatment.

    It works!

  • Dell Inspiron N5010 8 beeps on start up

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 and it fell out of my bed, since, then it stopped working. Whenever I try turn it on it beeps 8 times in the series.

    I went through various discussions in dell community in this regard and have done the following tests.

    Test of LCD (D + market) : this test runs fine, able to see the colors strong and when restarted, it gives again 8 beeps

    FN + market : it does not work. I have seen in discussions, this should run a diagnostic test. But in my case, nothing happens, 8 beeps continues.

    A few posts proposed to remove the CMOS battery for a while and place it again. Who did too much work.

    Reconnect the cable to the LCD screen and try, problem still exists.

    Can anyone suggest me what might have gone wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    Then to do is replace the video cable - if this does not resolve the problem, it's probably that the motherboard has been damaged in the fall.

  • Inspiron 546 double beep, orange, no video, flashing continues with the new ram

    Hello

    A few years ago my girlfriend's dog struck his computer on the ground. It is that big of a fall, but ever since, while the computer will not start.

    I have described the events here-> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120322170711AAmNz9o a few years ago. Never, I solved the problem.

    I finally had time to purchase new ram that matches the specifications (DDR2 / 800 mhz) and I'm still having the same problem.

    • AFTER two beeps repeating and flashing lights
    • CPU fan comes on
    • No video

    I bought new RAM, tried the individual stick in each housing always without success, tried a new monitor, new vga cable.

    I am all of these ideas. Would it be possible, it's a motherboard problem? I do not see how, given that the motherboard seems operational with all LEDS work and fans. Maybe the slots where the ram is going have been damaged? I don't know, it doesn't seem likely, because the fall was not that big of a drop of water.

    Thanks for any help in advance

    -Nick

    Hi Nick,

    The diagnosis could be executed if the memory is not the issue, and after emptying the residual power, you are able to get the display; However, in the case of a failure of memory, you get to any screen.

    As known good memory sticks give the same results, it could be the memory slots on the motherboard does not detect not memory modules.

    The motherboard has 4 connectors of memory, and you can try to connect the memory to a location at once to see if one of the ports work if not yet tried.

    Please do not hesitate to answer for any further assistance. I'll be happy to help you further.

  • Inspiron 14 3000 - 3452 HDD

    I just got my inspiron 14 3000 - 3452.  It is equipped with 32Gb eMCC.  Before that I bought it, I learned by the Dell Agent's cat that I could change/upgrade the HARD drive in the future if necessary.

    When I looked in the background, it does not appear change the MEM (64 GB) or add a HARD drive.

    The service manual for the 3452 provides a procedure to replace the HARD drive, but?

    Different model 32 GB of mem, perhaps is a subset of the 3452?

    I picked it up partly because of the removable battery.  The 500 GB HARD drive model reported having a non replaceable battery.

    Thank you

    Joe

    I think that if you check, it has developed a couple of times now, and that systems that are provided with the embedded SSD are not have the connector on the motherboard to hard drive - in other words, the system has the MEM in car, OR a hard workout - there is no way to install both.
