• Inspiron i5559 - three Questions

  I bought a Dell i5559-3347SLV. It's a laptop 15.6 "Inspiron, illustrated here: officedepot.com/.../Dell-Inspiron-15-Laptop-156- screen / I've had it for a week, and I almost like him for what it for what I use it for. I looked at the manual time and the maintenance manual, but I have still three questions:

  (1) when I close the lid, I noticed that it does not completely close flower on the left side and partial left front. There is a 3/16 "to 1/4" gap (credit nearly two cards can keep out), while the right side closes quite SHORT. If I run my hand (not a lot of pressure) from the back to the front of the left side of the cover when it is 'closed', the gap goes and lid together is nice and SHORT. I don't know if it is an exchange value for another laptop of the same model or not. I think that the left hinge is just a little more tight than necessary. Any opinions?

  (2) the machine will start with the number lock off the coast. I didn't go into the BIOS to see if I can change the value by default, yet. However, when I press the NumLock key to activate the numeric keypad, I see no Fn key light up to indicate that it is. The only thing that indicates that it is is in the area of hidden icons, for which you must click to enlarge, and then if the NUMLOCK is turned on, it contains a square box with the number "9". Who wants to have to go through that to see if NUMLOCK is turned on?

  (3) should the power button, which is round with a translucent vertical stripe, dividing it into two, light when when it is powered on, or turn in dormant or mode orange screen saver?

  TIA

  If #1 is annoying, have the system replaced - in particular if the hinge shows a sign of liaison.

  #2 and #3, there is no LED to indicate the State of num lock, nor is it a light power button - the only LED on these is on the front edge of the system (indicates the State of charge).  It has no HDD LED on them, either.

  #1, not binding, but think I'll exchange due to cosmetics

  #2, thank you for all that

  #3, found the BIOS was set ON NumLock as a default, however, I turned off and then back ON, but still no luck. I will focus

  Thanks again.

  I exchanged for another laptop (same model) yesterday.  It closes perfectly FLUSH.  I can say about this news that the hinge (s) was too tight on the first.  On this new one, when I close the lid, it is steep until the last inch or more, and then he shut the rest of the way by himself.  With the first, I had to push it shut all the way and then some.

  It's my laptop 13 years (9 Dells), and they all closed RAS.  I wonder why I even asked for it.

  NumLock on this second laptop seems to work (remains enabled throughout of MESSAGES).

  Thanks for the reply.

• Dell Inspiron One HDMI question

  I have an Inspiron One 2320.  I tried to connect a TV as a second monitor.  To my surprise, the computer's HDMI port is a HDMI input port.  Am I reading correctly?  Can someone please help me and confirm that I can't use the HDMI port to connect to the TV?

  If it is in fact a HDMI input, what is - this really for?  What devices that require an HDMI port to send the signal to the computer.

  I am so confuse with it, and why even do a HDMI input and not a HDMI output?

  Thanks in advance

  I have an Inspiron One 2330 Touch.

  Other features include an HDMI port... A HDMI-IN port. It would be something like a Blu - Ray player, cable box or DVR amp HDMI out, Tablet... something like that... like the Inspiron is a simple monitor or HDTV.

  I was also surprised that the video output was only a VGA 15 pins. Maybe the next model will have a DVI output. At least this way, either natively or with a converter inexpensive... you can drive DVI, VGA or HDMI even (with no sound). DisplayPort is a versatile alternative.

  In your case... If your template does not output a VGA (or your second monitor is not a VGA input)... you should be able to get a "USB video card.

• DELL INSPIRON N4010 WEBCAM QUESTIONS: PLEASE HELP... DELL CUSTOMER... AND ANYONE WHO HAS KNOWLEDGE REGARDING MY PROBLEMS...

  I have a Dell Inspiron N4010. Configuration: 1st generation i5 processor with windows 7 home basic 64-bit.

  3 months after the purchase of my laptop, I have updated my Dell webcam central through the applications update service... Shortly after the update, my integrated webcam has started to show problems.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:

  Shortly after the update of my installed factory Dell webcam central, my integrated webcam has begun to show the problem. webcam was able to start with any application such as Skype or dell central webcam himself. Instead, webcam LED flashes for flicker of a second, and then goes away without any streaming video.  Trying to open it, an error message is displayed: "your webcam can be used by another application. Close the application to launch streaming video".» Initially, the problem was temporary, that is occasionally the webcam began video streaming without any problem, but as the time passed, webcam stopped working almost completely.

  TRIED SOLUTIONS:

  I tried all the solutions mentioned below:

  • I uninstalled the Dell webcam software and reinstalled with the version installed in the factory, supplied on CD with laptop. Uninstalled the webcam via the Device Manager and reinstalled, but without success.
  • I heard that there is a conflict between the Dell face recognition software and dell webcam central. So, I uninstalled the dell face recognition software. After that, the webcam worked for a few days, and there still rebooted problem.
  • I went through various forums online, dell community, customer service, etc. and everything suggested tried but without success. I heard several times that this is not a hardware fault but driver error. Even in a few forums, its says that Creative Technology Limited have not been able to supply webcam drivers compatible with windows 7 64-bit.
  • I even did factory restore my laptop twice, but could not do my webcam works.
  • Then, I decided to format my system and installed windows7 again with the disc that came with my laptop. During this process, I have kept the recovery drive and the untouched OEM disk untouched. I have reinstalled all the drivers in such order as advised by Dell. Despite puts everything in order, I couldn't do my built-in webcam work. More... now I can't even access the Dell factory restore option despite the fact that my recovery disk is intact and it is to have all the files into it!
  • I tried the utility dell online Diagnostics. He could not detect any error webcam!
  • Few days back, I used the dell startup screen diagnostic utility and scanned the built-in webcam to find errors, and my webcam failed in all tests! Here are the screenshots of the tests:

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  I GUESS I GAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH MY DELL INTEGRATED WEBCAM... I ASKED DELL CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HELP ME SOLVE MY PROBLEM OF WEBCAM... AND ALSO THE FACTORY RESTORE INACCESSIBILITY PROBLEM... PLEASE HELP ME...

  AFTER AN ENTIRE WEEK OF UNINSTALLING - REINSTALLING VARIOUS DRIVERS & SOFTWARE FOUND IN THESE FORUMS, SUGGESTIONS INCLUDING REINSTALLING WINDOWS FROM DELL DATA SECURE BACKUP.  THIS IS WHAT I LEARNED.

  My problem was. No supported webcam not connected when I ran dell webcam central. No program could access the webcam. Device Manager showed SPECIFIC DEVICE. Camera suddenly stopped working! I had a little more hair when this problem started.

  I have Inspiron N4010 windows 7 Home premium. Are the drivers for the webcam in windows 7, there is no separate drivers available anywhere. with the exception of some XPS models.

  A post in these forums suggests to abolish the plastic around the display bezel. It's simple. Just carefully go around and remove. It is clipped without screws on my system. This gives access to the webcam hardware. I got dell webcam central on-board. (showing no supported webcam connected!). Gently, I tried to disconnect the connector of the webcam. My intention was to disconnect and reconnect. I barely touched and the fire came and windows immediately started to install device drivers. A beep and an icon in the notification bar popped up. A few minutes, I saw my beautiful mug on the screen to my absolute delight.

  Guys, if you have a problem where Device Manager does not recognize your webcam for most probably, this is a hardware problem. The small rectangular plate on which is mounted the webcam is not properly secured by DEll. It is a DESIGN PROBLEM. The Board is located in place on two small round plastic holders without any screws. It can move easily. The bezel plastic when it is installed itself that holds it in place, but not very effective. When you open and close the lid of the screen, especially if you are taking in the middle where the camera you finally loose connector. That's why some messages will tell you what they camera has stopped working suddenly and then started working by himself all of a sudden. When I put the bezel plastic, it snaps into place, I was able to move the camera, and it stopped working again. A little gentle jiggle got running again and its been since.

  It does not matter what version of central webcam you have in windows 7. It runs on windows Vista service pack 2 compatibility mode. (Find WEBCAMDELL2. EXE file under programs x 86-dellwebcam-dellwebcam Central-dell webcam central. Right-click on the file name. Select Properties. Select the Compatibility tab and run this program in compatibility select windows vista service pack 2).

  If in your case even though there might be a software problem. always try this simple 2 minute solution b4 safe spending frustrating days find the drivers and software. Hope this post helps someone. May work on other systems too! Good luck! and thank you to the guy who led me down this path and misery!

  Hello

  Recently, I had a bad car accident (I'm ok now: D) I had my laptop inside the car. After a few days, when I tried to power on my laptop, it started having a few problems.

  First code 9 sound indicated a failure screen. After trying to connect to an external monitor via the vga 15 output pins, I noticed several vertical lines red transparencies (about 8 and about 5cm thick) when windows is loaded. When Windows starts Finally, these lines have disappeared and became the (transparent) red dots across the screen.

  Any thoughts? What is a vga problem?

  Thank you

  Yes, this sounds like a graphics card problem, especially if it occurs in external monitors. You will need to replace it.

  You do not need to unmount the file system, make sure that all services are declining. If you have stopped the service, you can remove and then go up and then take the backup (before brining back the services).

• Help with Creative Suites question please

  Hello

  I've been searching all of these Adobe products and got pretty excited so, WHERE should I start with all this? I love this product here (see link: http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/creativesuite/mastercollection/ ), but is this a good product first? What video tutorials for learning? Any idea help me a lot. Thank you very much for your time.

  Brian

  As Michael says, Master Collection is VERY expensive. Frighteningly so for most of the people! It would be better to understand what you want to do, what you want to accomplish and what you can afford!

  Spend some time browsing bookstore and flip through books on Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc to get a glimpse of what they can do. In addition, download versions test the apps you're more likley to use. Otherwise, Master Collection might be overkill for your needs.

  I think that this application uses VB, I've already replaced the dll via a MS tool after you rename the

  not all of the machines and is machine specific, not specific to the application user.

  I have a DELL Inspiron with NO QUESTIONS through Win 7 the same router.

  The troubleshooter for WINDOWS currently deducted "your modem broadband has connectivity problems. Reset your broadband.

  On other occasions, troubleshooting has solved the problem.  This happens probably once a day.

  Seems illogical that the modem would only allow a computer through the router?

  Of course, I rebooted.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks for your swift suggestion.  During this time, I did a restore to a point several weeks ago.  Then I got an error message that NORTON was corrupt. So I did an UNINSTALL of NORTON (need to go to their Web site - could not just use Uninstall WIN from the control panel settings). Then a reinstall.

  My connection is OK today. I'll see how long I can go without problem before returning to your suggestion on the pilot.

  Since you are using Oracle 9.2, if you do not have something that follows updates (i.e. a column LAST_UPDATED_TIME in the table, an audit trail, etc.), you're probably out of luck. Oracle track this information.

  If you are really desperate and your database is in ARCHIVELOG mode and you have all the log files archived since the days where the change could be made, you can potentially use LogMiner to read through the logs to redo the research of changes of interest. It would be very slow and probably very manual so it would not be appropriate to do it from an application. But it could be done if you are trying to track down a one-time problem.

  Published by: Justin Cave on June 29, 2011 16:32

  Note that your subject line refers to the DOF, but the text of your question seems to relate to the DML changes. I assumed that the last (DML) was the real goal. If you are tracking DDL, which is followed at the level of the table in the LAST_DDL_TIME column in DBA_OBJECTS, but not at the level of the spine. Again, you can use LogMiner to look for this sort of thing if you do not audit the change, but it would be a lot of work.
