  Thanks for the reply! The problem was a crooked PIN. Once I straightened the PIN and reused thermal paste the laptop worked perfectly. I don't know if I did it, but I didn't have the old motherboard to see.

  Thank you!

• Studio XPS 8100 Wifi not recognize connections

  Hello, I recently moved to College with my Dell Studio XPS 8100. The school offers wifi, which I can connect to a bit on my laptop, telephones and even consoles. However, my computer tower in the same exact place can't save even that wifi connections exist.

  While the school wifi does not seem to use some sort of proxy, I can locate and connect to it fine on my laptop Dell Inspiron positioned at the same place as my turn, so I don't think there is a problem with the routers or the school wifi connection. There are also other close connections (my roommate printer, wifi from a neighbor) that are independent of the school which are also not be picked up by my computer. Only, he has a red X over the wifi symbol and said that no connection is available.

  While at home, I had no problem and the unit has not changed since then. I don't think there is a wifi external change, so I don't think I fell anything during the move. (But if I'm wrong, please let me know).

  As far as I can tell, I've checked the Device Manager, all the drivers seem to be activated and functioning. I tried a system restore to the week last to see if an update may have changed something, but it had no effect. I also went to the Dell drivers & downloads and downloaded and installed the latest network driver (1525 Wireless Atheros WLAN Mini Card Desktops, v.8.0.0.376, A02) which was available for my model. It also did not help.

  System information:

  Network Card(s):           3 NIC(s) Installed.                           [01]: Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet                                 Connection Name: Local Area Connection                                 Status:          Media disconnected                           [02]: DW1525 (802.11n) WLAN PCIe Card                                 Connection Name: Wireless Network Connection                                 Status:          Media disconnected                           [03]: Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter                                 Connection Name: Wireless Network Connection 2                                 Status:          Media disconnected
  

  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, a computer without wifi does me no good so I'm banging my head on the wall trying to figure this one out.
  

  Well, I must say that I am a little disappointed that I have not received a response from the help here. Way to go Dell. Really feel the 'support '.

  I love how a problem one sentence posted a few days later got more than 100 responses. Maybe next time I not giving all the details of the sentence and just say "my wifi is not working help me please?

  Anyway, pretty passive aggressive. For anyone who comes across this post with the same problem, here is how I fixed it:

  I jumped open the computer because I was sure it was a hardware problem, and of course, there was a layer of dust on my ethernet card and connection strips but seemed dull and did not make a good connection. Carefully, I removed the card and cleaned, replace it. I also made sure my antenna that comes with the computer has been fully connected (believe me, this tour can not pick up wifi at all without them, to ensure that the antenna is in!)

  A few reboots later and he remained in service.

• Dell Studio XPS 435mt does not - light light orange card mother

  I had my Studio XPS 435mt for recent years and love it! Normally I leave my machine on almost every day all day so I can access it remotely. Well, today my power went out (the product is connected to a good surge protector) and now it won't turn back on.

  When I plug it in there is a green light to the rear of the machine and internally, there is a orange light, which lights up. When I press the power button nothing happens, not even try to power on. I read a few forums that suggest all of a new power supply, a new motherboard and even a job to 'put your motherboard in the oven' random.

  So my question is can I do anything to check what the problem is? Also, if it of a motherboard problem and needs to be replaced, where is the best place to get a motherboard? Reference Dell sells to them directly or I have to go to a 3rd party to track down?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  A type of power surge Strip does nothing to protect the PC during a power failure.  You need a 'UPS' unit to protect the PC during short power outages (most).

  As he ran, anything could have happened to the power supply to the motherboard to a component on the motherboard.

  As you have the power to 'keep' alive on the card mother, indicated by orange LED, power supply works somewhat.  Unplug the power connector 24 pins on the motherboard.  Then the rider GREEN wire to a BLACK wire and see if the power turns on (fan running).  If it does, it does not say the PSU is good (only replace it with a known good power is the only true test for a power supply), but it does not say the rotation of the problem is not in the power.  If it does not start, food is the likely problem.

  If the power supply lights the other most likely problem is the motherboard.  Reinstall (unplug and plug back in) the prior panel connector on the motherboard and then give it a try. If it still does not respond, the motherboard is suspect.  The power switch, itself, would be a very remote problem.

  Dell is a source for a replacement motherboard.  There are sites that sell Dell used/given to nine motherboards and ends up with a google search.  Only another mother of exact replacement fit and work.

  Finally, regardless of the tests do or anything that seems as it isolates a certain part, unfortunately only to replace the part really tell you if it's bad.  To avoid buying something you don't need you can make to a PC repair center renamed to what is really wrong.

• Dell XPS-8900 does not start

  Worked well to date, 01/01/2016 - Happy New Year, NO!

  Change power cable, use a different outlet (other items such as router and network printer can very well). Computer still does not start.

  When I plug it in the computer power light turns on light and then turns off (this seemed normal before). So if I push the power button computer does not start.

  I don't seem to get an orange light sequence of 2-1 after trying to turn it on - and continues. Maybe some sort of signal POST?

  I can turn the computer (not my first choice) after our journey ahead. But I'd rather get it upward and now running. Have work to do.

  Phil

  More information. I had four USB3 external drives attached, whose two propulsion and two disks Seagate Wireless - which is recharged through its USB port.

  Removing only the second Seagate drive allows the machine starts. So the question can be too much of a drain on the USB card current.

  Once started, the system seems to work very well with that wireless Seagate drive attached, and it restarts with it attached - just not boot from a condition of Shut Down.

  Not sure really, I understand that, but I can live with that.

  If someone seems something more insidious in this behavior, please notify; bought the XPS-8900 at COSTCO and still about 55 days return if it is defective!

• XPS 8300 does not start

  I put my pc in sleep mode after you have finished with him and he's going to return to what it was when I push the power button. But this morning when I press the button, it does not start. All I can see is the cpu fan began to turn for 1 second and stopped and this process repeated subsequently. I unplugged my PC and I tried to reboot, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

  clockwork_orange

  I ordered the new mobo and also some thermal paste and cleaning an antistatic wristband. I also have an anti-static bag ready for wireless card should be stored in. I also have the service manual ready to guide me through the process. Are there other boards or pieces of advice that you can say about replacement like for like the mobo and all the other parts? I've never done this before so although I'm confident enough to try it, I'm still a little nervous that I could make a stupid mistake for example, short to the Council before I even turn on. After installing everything what can I expect to turn on my PC and it will boot as if nothing had happened? -C' i.e. will my files and descktop always look the same? do I have to enter the bios at startup in the first, so yes it what could I do?

  Thanks for any help, you can suggest!

  Rebecca

  Everyone has a first time, just take your time, read the instructions carefully and keep them perhaps practice as a reference.

  A clue, as there no way of knowing at what age the MoBo, is, it is better to replace the battery, a 3V CR2032 Lithium coin battery is required, they are cheap to buy and it is easy to replace before the MoBo is installed.

  After installing everything what can I expect to turn on my PC and it will boot as if nothing had happened?

  If everything of fine, Yes, but there is always the factor X [aka unknown].
  

  IE will be my folders and office always look the same?

  It should be.

  what I have to enter the bios at startup from the first to the top.

• Tecra 8100 does not start.

  Hello. I have this Tecra 8100 I think sell for parts, because I am crazy about her. But before that, I ask you here as a last.

  It seems the section "power" of the laptop works very well: if I plug the power, the 'dc in' and 'battery' LED will light, and the "battery" led even go from orange to green when the battery is charged.

  If I press the button "power on", "power" lights up. The hard disk starts to spin. The fan does nothing, and no "beep" is heard at all. In addition, the screen does not display anything. External VGA output or output TV shows nothing, too. I repeat, that no. a BEEP is heard, until...

  I close the lid. A long beep is heard when I close the lid, but no trace of the image on the screen.

  I have changed or upgraded nothing notebook: memory, CPU, etc.

  I opened and took every piece of it: internal battery, motherboard, sound card, leds and buttons edge... and I tried to connect our case so t may be a short circuit with no luck at all.

  What is a BIOS problem?

  The BIOS can be reflashed in this State, as the AWARD BIOS?

  Are there keys or buttons I could press to enter a kind of mode to diagnose or service?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The Tecra 8100 doesn t supports no internal memory. Two memory slots are available, and it depends on the unit memory has been installed.
  Always is it that you can improve it to max 512 MB (2 x 256 MB)

  Now to you deliver; It sounds like a hardware problem, but no one could be able to provide a diagnosis exactly what we can do is speculate on the fault.
  I think that it s a motherboard problem

  See you soon

• Tecra 8100 - does not start and no activity on the screen

  Hello

  My Tecra 8100 not start or take me to the BIOS Setup. It lights up, swirls the hard drive, but there is no activity on the display. The only way I can get something on the screen is turning with the F12 key when I get the 'ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update diskette in the drive "... message. So I tried the traditional method of updating the BIOS, found on the Toshiba site, but nothing helped. The machine seems to read the disk (that contains the downloaded BIOS) but does nothing. It is just there for centuries, with the disk light.

  The last two days I have trawled thro much views and even took the whole machine goes to check the connections loose, but I found no answer yet.

  Can someone out there please help?

  Thank you very much

  Hello Rory

  I did the BIOS to be updated several times, but I've never seen this message at startup upward.

• XPS 8700 does not start after the upgrade memory RAM

  Dear members of the Forum.

  I have a XPS 8700 with the following specifications:

  Core i7 4770 k

  2 TB HARD DRIVE

  16 GB of Ram (4 x 4 GB)

  NVidia GTX 660 (1.5 GB)

  BIOS version A10 (later).

  RAM sticks in my current system are all Micron Tech (here) 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s.

  I had two RAM modules of tech Micron (here) 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s so that I can move on to a total of 24 GB.

  After the discussion here and here, I installed the modules in slots 1 & 2 (both white) so that the system is not able to start. Not even got the bios screen. I also tried 3 & 4 configuration (both black) I ran my computer with the two 8 GB sticks only, with the same unfortunate results.

  I also saw that it is a normal problem of compatibility problems between the types of ram, but I consider that this is not the case. In addition, bad positioning of the modules is not also the case because if I put my old ram glue the computer starts normally.

  I used tape you will static isolation.

  Is the problem, a problem of compatibility between my computer and the RAM modules?

  If the RAM is damaged does these effects (do not start)?

  How can I check if the RAM modules are damaged?

  What would be your suggestions?

  I thank very you much in advance!

  Mauricio

  Hmm, I'd say you two bad sticks of RAM.  If the system POST even with them, I would swap them if you can.  We know that the RAM slots work because you have 4 x 4 sticks without any problem and your computer can take up to 32 GB of RAM.  Your admission that you bought the right kind of RAM, voltage, and speed, etc., so that shouldn't be a problem.  I would say as bad RAM.  When you do not install, just check that you make pairs in each of the colored slots, for example. matching pairs in the slot of white and black.

• External port eSATA Studio XPS 9100 does not

  Hi all

  I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100and external eSATA port does not work or it is not detected. I have a Seagate FreeAgent external drive and it can't detected, and it is NOT power up when I plug it into the eSATA port. The FreeAgent drive works fine as it is detected on my laptop Dell Studio XPS 1645eSATA port. The drive is detected on the 9100 when I use the USB cable to the drive (plugged into a USB port, of course).

  I tried to do some research online and some suggestions were to activate via the BIOS eSATA port, but the eSATA port is enabled in the BIOS. The wrong driver is installed on the device? I see the Intel ICH10 Family 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller-3 has 22 in the Device Manager. Is this the right driver to recognize the external eSATA port or is there something else wrong with the 9100?

  Does anyone think that the external eSATA port requires an external drive with its own power supply? The 9100 is a 2010 model year environment, but I think it should not require a player with an external power supply.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hi all

  I grabbed an eSATA disk that has its own power supply (AC adapter) and trendy source on eSATA back port and he recognized the car.

  It seems that the Dell Studio XPS 9100 has of an old eSATA port requiring a drive eSATA that she is clean in order to be energy source active on its external eSATA port. If you try to use a disk without its own power supply eSATA it won't work because the former eSATA ports enabling the way as the USB ports and the new USB ports hybrid eSATA . My laptop Dell Studio XPS 1645 a hybrid one of these ports so apparently it is why my Seagate FreeAgent working on it and NOT on the 9100 desktop. You can't plug a USB cable in the 9100 eSATA port certainly isn't a hybrid eSATA port.

  I guess I solved my own question.

• Dell XPS 8500 does not start after the interruption of system restore

  It was one thing to do, but I turned off my PC during the restoration of the system because he took time to complete the process.  The next day I couldn't boot into windows.  I tried the automatic repair feature, but it does not work.  I tried to repair windows using the orignal installation disk, but it does not work.  I tried to install Windows 8 all over again, but I got an error message - media pilot is missing.  I opened the box uninstall the RAM, videocard unplugged and both drives and reinstall, but without success.  I noticed that there is an orange/orange light on the motherboard.  I thought it was the hard drive at the beginning, but now I hope that this is not the motherboard.  Any help will be appreciated.

  You have damaged the image beyond repair.  You need to reinstall from scratch.  Windows to say that an optical drive driver is missing, bad copy of DVD-RW, DVD + R or DVD - R media that was not burned at 1 X 2 X or 4 X, so is not readable.  This is why USB Flash Drive 16 GB or more is recommended rather than the DVD player to the installation media.

  Why doesn't my CD or DVD drive?

• Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

  I apologize in advance for the long post...

  Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

  I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

  When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

  I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

  What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

  Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

  Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

  Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

  Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

  The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

  For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

  1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

  2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

  3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

  4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

  5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

  6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

  These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

  I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!

• XPS 8700 - new mSata does not start unless...

  I had my 8700 for a little more than a year and from the beginning, I put a 256 gb 2.5 SSD and everything has been good... unfortunately I ran out of room so I'm a 512 GB mSata and installed with the normal hiccups (bios setting, etc.) and for the most part, it works fine... installed win7 - all my programs games, media and all that. Well, now that I have everything there I was trying to format the original 1 TB hdd which served the initial boot (later converted to my games drive) drive and it refuses to format 'windows cannot format the system disk partition' I went into the BIOS and noticed his 1st listed in the order of the boot sequence. OK... so I put the mSata as first on the boot sequence and people with other disabilities 2 boot sequence HARD drives... Unfortunately, after that it does not start, say no boot device available. I tried other settings and the only way I can get my OS to load is if I put it on AHCI - legacy - then set my empty 1 TB (manually remove games) under the 1st boot device and set my msata #2. I want to use the 1 TB in a different computer and I want all my available bays opened for larger storage players when I need... but most of all I want to solve it because he needs to solve... Someone has an idea what I am doing wrong? any help is appreciated.

  Specifications:

  XPS 8700

  I7-4770

  BIOS A10

  M550 crucial mSata

  OS was initially earn 8.1... I upgraded to win 7 home

  The boot sequence is dynamic, so it does not matter if change you it in the bios. Each listed item will be sought for the boot files according to what is currently installed. Because your startup files are not on the ssd, it will never start to this player. Windows must be installed on the ssd from scratch, so you lose everything and have to reinstall everything. If you have now works well, leave it alone and save yourself a lot of trouble. Startup files are still on the original drive.

• Windows does not start - XPS 8300

  I have a XPS8300 (2010) who does not successfully start windows.  System Restore does not resolve the problem.  Especially when I try to start it, the HARD drive runs very fast, Windows does not start, the screen turns off, but the machine does not stop automatically.  A few times I was able to press F8 and load it to the ' last known good state ", but this does not work normally.  When it works (like now) the function of machine reasonably well and I can access the files.  So I think that the HARD drive may be OK.

  I ran the ePST - he tried repeatedly - and he never performs the test.  No error code.  The screen turns off and then sometimes it just hangs. But earlier it gave me a code of "beep".  It's "1 - 2 - 3.

  Tried to run the Dell diagnostic online, but it's pretty slow, I can't tell if it has "hooked", or if it is still ongoing.

  Would appreciate recommendation on next steps.

  A flaky power supply can cause these problems, and they are quite common.
