Studio 540 s, powers but no ports before or aft is working, no video, problem solved

I have a Dell Studio 540 s of desktop slim which had an unusual problem. Turn on the computer, but there is no video. The video card or onboard video worked. I tried different cables, different monitors. The monitor could not detect a signal. I went on the memory sticks because the faulty memory sticks can cause loss of the video. This isn't that. I checked the correct voltage on the power supply using a multimeter.  I reinstalled the CPU, put new thermal grease on it and then cleaned the whole inside the computer to include fans and their power. Still without success on the video. Then I noticed that not only the video has not worked, but none of the ports on the motherboard worked it didn't detect either the keyboard or the mouse. So I figured simple, the motherboard and since I found one on ebay for $35 it was worth buying. Replaced the motherboard and still no video and no motherboard port working. It is the motherboard. I talked to a Dell technician who came to my place of work. He said to pass on the i/o panel until he had seen that cause problems if it goes wrong. I was skeptical because I had never heard of this being a solution. I have since found a new Panel of e/s on ebay for less than $10. I thought it was worth a try, and I just had to know. I replaced before i/o Panel and wahlah video came and all the ports are working properly.

Thanks for posting the fix!

    Hi tonyf,.

    Greetings!

    Each device is compatible with a minimum version of camera raw.

    Here is the complete list: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

    Please check if you have this version of the camera installed which include your raw files.

    It would also be that your photoshop will not have to install this version of camera raw as its very old.

    In this case, you can convert your raw files to DNG and can use it.

    To convert the files to DNG, you must download and install the DNG Converter.

  • Laptop built in camera is not working... problem solved earlier but I forgot how to fix

    I contacted Lenovo support about a month ago as the camera of my laptop did not work. A member of the team had access/remote of my laptop and solved the problem by disabling a certain privacy setting. After that, my camera worked.

    However, I think I'm having the same problem again but do not know how to change the setting. My drivers are up to date, so this isn't the issue. Someone has an idea what setting he has changed and how to get there? Thank you!!

  • Dell Studio 540 no speakers or headphones Sound - win 10

    My Dell Studio 540 lost out to attached speakers.  I can't tell if the problem is caused by the upgrade to win 10 or if I experienced a motherboard failure a coincidence.  I tried a number of bugs that include uininstalling pilots, roll back drivers and even install Vista drivers original I have original system disks.  Nothing works.

    I see, looking at the acoustic, Panel output HDMI seems to work because I can see where it says sound when playing music.  However, I can't the speakers or headphones of entry to work.  Even if I try the speaker plugs into one of the entrances, the acoustic Panel still shows the headphones or speakers are not connected.

    So, how can I get the systΦme can recognize that speakers have been connected?  Is there another driver I can use.  So far, I've tried several driver Realtek and configurations, does not

    Apologies for the lack of your post. The Studio 540 has never been validated for Windows 10.

    My advice is to disable the Realtek HD audio integrated into Bios - Advanced - Integrated Peripherals. Then install a current PCIe x 1 sound card in a PCIe x 1 on the motherboard slots. His current card will provide 10 Windows drivers.

  • I have a dell studio 540 with graphics card geforce 9800gt, realtek audio, no sound on HD TV

    I have a dell studio 540 with geforce 9800gt graphics card. When I connect the hdmi sometimes I hear, but after awhile, the sound does not work. Now I have no sound at all. When I hooked the HDMI first, I found a realtek window asking me to activate the sound via hdmi. I find it anymore this window. I can't get the sound to work at all now.  I even tried to use 3.5 mm with hdmi and got nothing. 3.5 worked when I plugged in the vga to tv cable, but the picture quality was awful. How will I know if my card grphx carries sound?

  • Backup drive is not detected by USB-3 ports before the computer

    * Original title: 3 USB ports do not recognize the 3 TB drive; USB-2 ports do.

    3 USB ports do not recognize the 3 TB drive; USB-2 ports do.

    After working for about 1 year, my Seagate 3 TB backup drive is no longer recognized by the operating system.

    The drive is connected to a USB port "SS" (i.e. USB3) port on the front of the computer.

    During the boot UEFI confirms the existence of the impulse, but Win 7 (64) does not work.

    When it is attached to a USB-2 port the drive works perfectly, but takes forever to my backup system.

    I went through the procedure to connect to other ports 'SS', but the OS will still not

    recognize the drive.

    I would appreciate any advice.

  • Dell Studio 540 Windows 7 X 64 install

    G ' Day,.

    I recently bought a Dell Studio 540 second hand, in private.  I am trying to install Windows 7 64 bit, for which I have a license, but have lost the installation media.  There was no media installation with the Dell printer.  I downloaded an ISO of digital river, the DVD burned, shot to the top of the installation on the PC.  But he asks a driver CD and not proceed with the windows installation.

    Where can I find this driver?  I searched on the section of downloads for serial number and nothing that seems to do the trick there.

    99/100 times there is no such driver.  This message indicates that your media is bad... try downloading, check the hash or use a download manager to ensure the integrity of the download. try to use different software, blank DVD, engravers to create the DVD... you can also try the installation via USB after re-downloaded ISO.  Once successful with this DVD, you will need to activate by phone from Microsoft (not Dell).

    Or you can ask a real installation of Dell DVD by (United States only):

  • Studio 540 to windows 8.1 update

    Hello

    Advice would be welcome.

    I tired going round in circles, trying to figure out if my Studio 540 can be upgraded to windows 8.1.

    The Dell support site does not list all models Studio.

    Kind regards

    Azzedine

    Read this subject of audit of issues that you need to install Win 8.1.

    Here is the Studio D540, if that's what you mean.

    Remember, you will need to purchase a license to win 8 (8.1). You can download the iso file to install it and probably not use it for 30 days, but then you will need a license (product key) to activate it.

  • Windows media player; I have a mpeg file played ok before the download Flash Player to move to another place; but now the audio wont play even if the video is very good

    I have a mpeg file played ok before the download Flash Player to move to another place; but now the audio wont play even if the video plays very well.  The mpeg file may was converted from another format mpeg before do me.

    Hello

    1. are you able to play the other mpegs successfully?
    2. what version of Windows Media Player do you use?

    I suspect that the file is corrupted.

    Method 1.
    Check if you can play the same video in a different media player.

    Method 2.
    You may need to check if the codecs work very well to play the file. Check if you have installed third party codecs. Uninstall them and re - install and then check.

    I hope this helps.
