Inspiron 1520 Vista prem got screen shading red/fuzzin

Hey,.

I just got a new laptop today and it's a Dell Inspiron 1520. I am running windows Vista and right away, I noticed that the screen looked a little weird. The image is not sharp, and it seems to be a red shading or fuzz in places. I have checked all the obvious color and gamma etc and I even downloaded the video driver again. Any ideas would be really appreciated

At soon John.C

  • Inspiron 1520 black screen at power on

    Hello, I have a problem with my laptop Inspiron 1520. When I turn it on the screen just stays black. LEDs are flashing and the fan starts. But then nothing happens. No dell logo. No splash screen. I plugged it to an external monitor, but there is also no signal. I did the test screen by pressing D and turning the power on and I can see the colors on the LCD but it is very dark and when it restarts it is completely black. I don't think it's to start completely to windows because I can't activate num or scroll caps. Nothing happens when I press the buttons. I also started with by pressing fn and after a minute or two, I hear as a result of beeps: * chime chime chime * beep-beep-beep-beep - beep beep pause pause and repeat. I got the graphic card replaced not even 2 years warranty and I think it might be broken again? Please tell me if I could try more and what I should do next. Thanks in advance, Ingo

    It seems that the system completes POST but do not start Windows since you are not able to allow caps num or scroll and also while the diagnostics (Fn + power button) you hear the beeps (which suggests the diagnosis was running on the bottom) running.

    But on the LCD BIST test (pressing D and power) you see the color screens (but dark) LCD screen should be fine and it could be a problem with the video card. I'm afraid that without the screen, that we will not be able to check further and you may need to check the installation by a local technician.

  • Inspiron 1520 boots only by pressing D + start button / stop

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1520, who has an unusual problem. If I press the power button, the drive light hard turns on then turns off and turns on the led Verr Num. The screen is blank. However, if I press the D button and power at the same time button, the screen turns on and goes through a color test, then it goes to a start page where I can start windows normally. It starts windows and is very well. I am also able to press power button together and function to perform an evaluation of the system prior to initialization, which takes place at the moment.

    Any ideas? Why is he not start normally with just the power button? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi stncald,

    Share the results of the evaluation of the system of pre-launch.

    Connect an external monitor to the system and press the power button to see if there is any display on the external monitor only.

    Updated the BIOS OF THE system from the link http://dell.to/1bDPDqb , then check if the system boots normally.

    You can check the link http://dell.to/176grvH to find out how to upgrade the BIOS.

    Keep me informed of the results. I'll be happy to help you further.

Any type of headphones I plug in it (from a Phillips for a high-end Sennheiser headphones), it has the sound of static/buzzing low very inconvenient in the background, even if the sound works.

  • Inspiron 1520

    System: Dell Inspiron 1520

    OS: Vista Premium

    Network: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN

    Hello

    I see a lot of posts here unanswered so I really hope someone has a solution to my problem. Seen on my information above, I have an Inspiron 1520 and my problem to connect to my wireless network. I also have an Inspiron 9300 (XP) and it has absolutely no problems to connect to the same network. The 1520 is a connection very very slow. It may take up to 10 minutes sometimes, sometimes not at all so I have to keep turning on and off switch wifi on the side of the laptop until it can't find the network. I downloaded the latest drivers for the card, I even installed Vista (Recovery Disk) a couple of times. I have the latest version of windows updates installed, even Vista Service Pack 1.

    If someone has any suggestions please let me know and greatly appreciated.

    Thank you


  • Inspiron 1520 w / 1395 mini-map wireless connection problem

    I just got a new laptop Inspiron 1520 with a 1395 802. 11 g Mini Card. We have a cable broadband connection and there is an office with a wireless router. I don't know whether or not it is a 'network'. The new computer found the wireless connection but not connecting not (cannot find server). The status shows "absorbent address." I tried to copy the same ISP that my old laptop had, but this doesn't seem to help. Also if it is a network, I need a network key password - make up or what? The wireless router is about 2 years old and I think it's a Belkin. I'm lost. Thanks for all the ideas.


  • Backlight of the Inspiron 1520 is recently malfunction

    I have searched these forums and have come to the such that a defective backlight may require a new inverter Board or a new lamp. I had my laptop (inspiron) 1520 less than a year (and I myself only the standard warranty 1 year) so it's me angry a lot and I hope that there is another difficulty. I know that the LCD works cause I can see the screen faintly. Another thing is that I can "throw" the backlight by closing the display close then open cover it, but this does not work all the time and never lasts. The backlight going awhile, I noticed a few initial flickers and dies again. What should I do? Are there qualified technicians who can do other than Dell inverter/bulb replacement?


  • Qosmio X 870 - the screen turns red

    My laptop is still under warranty.

    The problem I have now is that in the middle of something, the screen goes red, and even if the power light is on, nothing seems to work. I tried Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but it does not work. I have to then hold the power button until the laptop turns off, but this means I lost my unsaved work.

    In addition, when I turn on the laptop again, I have to select to start Windows normally, as I have not done a clean shutdown. I also noticed that there is darker than the usual black spots on the screen (as if the pixels are burned).

    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Sounds like the display or graphics card problems.
    The same black spots are visible on the 2nd external monitor?
    You will need to connect an external monitor to check it out.
    If the same would be seen on 2nd screen, the graphics card is affected.
    If not, then probably only screen domestic is defective, but from your description, it could be a GPU problem.

    You can also try to update the graphic card driver just to test if this isn't software (driver) related problem

  • Half of the Satellite A200 screen has red pixels

    Hello

    I plug in a toshiba Satellite A200 1 years.
    Today, I had a problem with pixels.
    Half of my screen has red pixels.
    A lot of black color becomes red.

    I have no idea on this problem and why it's happening.
    What should I do now?

    I would like to get in touch with my dealer? or is there a solution to this issue?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should contact the Toshiba ASP.
    Usually after registration for laptop, the guarantee must be valid for 2 years and all part replacements must be covered there warranty.

    My recommendation is; make a call to the ASP and ask for assistance and handling of the Fryer

    Good luck

  • Now 23-d044 - installed MXM video card - HP Envy screen flashes red green blue black

    Hello

    I'm a 23-d044 I wanted to do the update/install video card instead of using the integrated graphics card.  I tried two different cards, a nVidia GeForce GT 540 m 2 GB and a part of HP AMD card #707804-002.  In each case the applied heat sink was part HP #694456-001. In each case, whenever I go back to the PC and it works, the screen flashes red, green, blue, black, white to infinity. I have read these and other forums indicating that this is a fault with the GPU, but I find that is unlikely given that I tried two different cards. I thought that maybe the MXM connection on the motherboard, but on the original motherboard power connector was defective, I have since replaced the motherboard (about 2 weeks ago) with the same part number. I downloaded both the AMD and nVidia drivers the most recent for each card (while running the integrated graphics card), but not joy.  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks in advance for the help!

    Sean

    Sean, I had the same problem too.  I finally thought to it.  Just above where the grafics card go is two connectors and one of them has a plug in there.  above the connectors, said uma_lvds, the other says MXM_LVDS.  Swap the power cord of the uma_lvds to the mxm_lvds.  This will fix the problem and you will be running.

    It is the manufacturer of the equipment, not Microsoft, to write
    and make available to download these drivers. Especially if your
    equipment is older, it is quite possible that the manufacturer decides
    that he is not worth his time and effort to develop drivers for
    equipment he sells is no longer.
    Check with the manufacturer to see if they will provide a driver, but
    Be aware that they may not yet have the answer for you.

    or should I reintall windows7 in my system.

    In my opinion, unless you have a spare computer to install it, and
    enjoy software testing and reports bugs to Microsoft,
    install the software before it was dismissed is looking for trouble.
    Yes, you can install the test version, but for almost everyone I
    strongly advise against cela and wait until it is
    out.
