OptiPlex 7040 Micro screws missing and clips for WiFi card

We have just purchased four Optiplex 7040 Micro computers and open one open to see how they can get to everything in a small box.  By doing this, I noticed that the WiFi card has not been pressed by what it is.  It doesn't look good for me, so I opened the rest.

One of them had a clear plastic retainer clip, with a screw now with card Wifi supported firmly in place.  The others had a screw, but not clips.

Since then, I spoke with technical support and support enforcement.  They tell me that they cannot just send screws and Staples, only completely new computers.  Looks like a complete waste for me.

Does anyone else have this problem?

It's normal.

The newer chipsets have a sink of heat and the Z bar.

  • OptiPlex 7040 Micro missing heatsink heat from the chipset - is this normal?

    I bought an OptiPlex 7040 Micro system about two weeks ago. After the opening of the system, I noticed that the heatsink for the chipset (Q 170 Skylake) is missing. You can see in the image below.

    Photos of the user, in fact downloaded manual from Dell, you can find the image with a heat sink as usually installed on motherboards.

    Because the German Customer Service isn't really a help for me, they always send me different pictures of the other motherboards than mine, sometimes of the previous Micro 9020, my question is this:

    Really missing heatsink (accidentally forgot to install at the factory) or is it planed out of the system for reasons?

    Because I don't want to let change possibly latest main map by an elder of the customer service to the Germany, it would be good if someone relay knowing that the facts could answer.

    There is no heater on this chipset on the 7040 M.

    I checked the internal images of the motherboard, and they show no heatsink during this particular chip.

    Also on your image of the motherboard in your system, you will notice that there are 2 positions on the motherboard where the clip holders would be located (circled in white) and real clips are not soldered to the motherboard showing that the radiator and the following clips are not needed

  • Satellite P300 - stuttering with new BIOS and drivers for sound card

    I have Toshiba laptop Satellite P300 (PSPCCE) with Vista and the latest patches installed.
    Everything was working ok until I installed the last set of patches, has been the Tempro alert about them. I installed the new BIOS (3.40) and card drivers his (Conexant 4.83.1.0) and now all the minutes I see spike high CPU spike freezing enemy of system one or two seconds.

    I see in Process Explorer these spikes are caused by the system and that usually means drivers.
    Anyone else noticed something similar since the last update?

    BTW. There are 2 audio drivers to download site, 4.36.10.0 the 25.05.2009. but the file is named 20081201122001 sounds. ZIP and 4.83.1.0 as of the 07.05.2009. named sound - 20090507143928.zip but with a date more recent AI apparently from 2008.

    > btw. There are 2 audio drivers to download site, 4.36.10.0 the 25.05.2009. but the file is named 20081201122001 sounds. ZIP and 4.83.1.0 as of the 07.05.2009. named sound - 20090507143928.zip but with a date more recent AI apparently from 2008.
    I think that you should use the most recent version and it s a v4.83.1.0. It seems that the v4.36.10.0 was published also, but in this case, it s always recommended to take a newer version.

    With regard to the system of freezing for a second or two:
    I think that this might be related to some background processes. Perhaps a process that runs in the context of the Vista operating system causes this tiny interruptions.

    Of my knowledge tool Tempro runs in the background and scans the system and HARD drive.
    You can check the processes in MSCONFIG and if necessary may disable some of the trials.

  • Satellite P100-437: cannot find modem and drivers for sound card for XP

    I can not find modem and audio drivers for windows XP. Help, please.
    Thanx

    Hello

    Satellite P100 - 437 (PSPAGE) shipped with Vista. Am I wrong?
    I think this is a reason why this series is not listed on the page of the Toshiba driver at the moment.

    Have you tested the drivers from another P100 series? Some devices come with the same material specifications and possibly other drivers will run.

    Maybe an additional info about the card and the modem will help you;
    It s a good Conexant chip and modem Conexant. Therefore you must find the Conexant audio drivers and driver Conexant modem software in the net.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 6c51ea: upgrade of the dv6 6c51ea ssd and ram wifi card

    Hello
    As of late I thought the upgrade or replace my laptop, but I have a few questions to help me decide.
    First ram cited the speed of the processor is listed as 1066/1333 hz, however I can not check it on the site of hp and the crucial site recommend ddr3 at 1600 hz, the site hp also says is that 8 GB however apparently due to the fact that it was released on Windows 7 However the processor can support 16 GB max memory support and since upgrading to win 10 my system would be doing, is this correct?

    What kind of improvements I see by installing an ssd (Samsung evo 850) 500 GB?

    And finally the wifi card could be readily available and upgraded to the new ac wifi to use the router to HQ and speeds mon is provides and I pay!

    So basically will be the ssd, 2 x 8 GB 1600 mhz sodimm ram, and a wifi amd card equipped for the £300 it cost would he give me the jump in performance for his money as the cpu and gpu are rather dated now (i5 2450 m and radeon 7470 m) when a new system with an i5 4th gen with 1 GB graphics , 500 GB and 16 GB of ram, ssd would cost about £900 what would be the main benefits

    Thank you very much

    Shott

    I stand well partially corrected. The 8 gig RAM max was on the technical page of HP and the maintenance manual says maximum 16 concerts. As you note, it will run at 1333 mhz, but yes you can install 16 gigs and upgrade to Windows 10 made no difference there. You may installed 16 concerts with all 64-bit operating systems.

    Here is the Manual:

  • Missing notification icon for wireless keyboard and mouse in the systray area.

    Missing notification icon for wireless keyboard and mouse in the systray area. Was working before the hard disk crash. Had to reload Windows Vista 64 bit OS. Have computer model gateway GT5678.

    Chances are good the software to include these icons in notification tray cam pre-installed on the bridge.  If you still all original gateway software, try to see if something in the menu start / all programs of the gateway seems as it can contain controls for these settings and run the program to check and see if it does.  If none of the gateway software help (assuming that all this is still installed) and re-installing the drivers did not work and there is no controls at the keyboard or the mouse, so I know what else to think.  These icons are not available with Vista - they were installed by a third-party device or software driver.

    I'm sorry that gateway could not help you.  They are those that you need to do to solve this problem, because it is something that they installed with the original computer which is not re-installled after you change hard drives.  They should know what software for it and power point yoo to a download site, or you send a disk with this software.  We can't really do anything else to help you.

    Good luck!

  • MS Server 2008 R2 on Optiplex 7040 (USB 3.0 ONLY) can make it work, even with all the dism and patch stuff...

    Trying to install Win Server 2008 R2 on an Optiplex witch is so all USB 3.0 by using the legacy startup it will launch the installer and does NOT freeze to the main screen.  But when it comes to screen readers it says it needs a driver, but nothing does not recognize because he needs a driver to recognize the HD and needs a driver to recognize that anything that is connected to the USB 3.0 ports.

    I spent 2 solid days watching and trying different things, including the patcher software dell (who uses powershell).  It works very well.  Broadcasts usb 3.0 drivers in the build of the server, but when I boot it ti freezes at the home page because he removed the pilots using the mouse and keyboard.

    Is there anything else I can try to get this to work?  I use the wrong driver?  I tried the drivers that came with the driver update utility.  I tried the drivers from the website of intel.  Cause the main screen to be locked up with no mouse/keyboard.

    I tried inserting manual usb 3.0 (same result).

    Another way I can get it work?

    I can use 2012 R2 server (who has 3.0 drivers and hard disk drivers and see the HARD disc immediately, but I prefer to use the Server 2008)

    Thank you

    I've found a workaround. (mine)...

    If I install the 2012R2 server, it gives me a platform of USB 3.0.  from 2012, I installed 2008R2, and it worked.

    I had to use 2012 once more in repair/back window because I forgot to shoot all the drivers in 2008.

    I did once I was able to delete windows.old and now I have a fully functional 2008R2 on an Optiplex 7040.

    Of course, has been easier than all this stuff of dism.
