System Inspiron 3847 fan failure

Bought there are a little over 2 months of Best Buy. Geek Squad blew the dust out and messages stopped for a week. Geek Squad will charge me $100 to run diagnostics on it and told me it will cost me a lot to go to Dell to help them. Ran the Dell Diagnostics on it hardware and it says that everything is working. The fans are running. What should I do?

Verify that the processor and chassis fans are working and connected to the motherboard and they are clean of any accumulation of dust upward, also check that the fins of the heatsink to the CPU are also clean.

Check that the air inlets located behind the front panel are also clean of dust and dirt.

Have you tried to contact Dell technical support, because if you bought a new computer two months ago, surely you must always have a guarantee of the manufacturer in this regard, in general, that for a year, unless you have purchased an extended warranty.

  • Compaq SR1901WM system fan failure

    I have a Compaq SR1901WM, running Windows XP, SP3, and I had to replace the motherboard. I replaced it with the exact same model, and it works very well. The only problem is, when I first put it, I get a warning that says: attention! The system fan failure! The PC to avoid damaging service please! I checked and the CPU fan is running, and there was no other fan in this case. Maybe I need to get a box for her cooling fan? I replaced the motherboard with the exact same model that was already in it. Any help would be really appreciated, thanks a lot.

    I fixed it, bought a case fan, installed, connected to the decision-making system fan and no more warnings. Thanks for your help, guys, I really appreciate it a lot.

  • Inspiron 3847, no audio, Windows 8.1

    The computer is new, came with Windows 8.1, but has no sound because it was out of the box.

    I reinstalled the Realtek sound card drivers, but there is no sound. The CPU connects to the monitor Dell 24 - S2440L monitor via a VGA cable.

    Check in the sounds option in Control Panel of speakers shows are necessary.  In my view, there is a message in his icon in the lower right that no speakers or headphones are connected.

    Looked at the Dell manual at ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products-Infodev/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/inspiron-3847-desktop_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.pdf
    and page 11, it seems they have a connector audio front panel

    Run the Windows troubleshooting utility that did not help.

    In Device Manager, I see peripheral Bluetooth Audio, audio from Intel, Realtek High Definition that have all the correct drivers Audio display.

    Dell support think if I change the OS to Windows 7, I can get sound, but I have to buy the Windows 7 operating system

    I was thinking more PC today come with an integrated sound card and external speakers are additional.

    What could be the cause of the lack of audio? The volume is not set to mute.

    I went to REALTEK website and downloaded a new driver yesterday.

    It seems to work.

  • Updated Inspiron 3847 of Win 7 Pro to Win Pro 8.1

    Thank you very much!

    No, you can upgrade.  Put in the disc and choose the upgrade path (not customized) to do an upgrade of Windows 8.  You can do a clean install of Windows 8 on top of Windows 7, but you don't have to.  You can consider running Windows 8 analysis tool to find out if you will need additional drivers after installation or if your installed software may or may not have known problems with it.

  • Second hard drive Dell Inspiron 3847

    Can someone direct me for information on the installation of a second hard drive for Inspiron 3847 computer for the purpose of the image upwards using the Acronis True Image Home software upward? There is room for an optical drive, which is totally alien to me, but nothing is said nowhere in the hardware in the user manual on the addition of second hard drive that seems to be a pretty normal material adding. No sense in this matter. First time forum thank you poster

    toplap

    Dell has not released the procedures to install an additional SATA hard drive, the Inspiron 3847 has a 3.5 Bay ", one for the second hard drive next to the main hard drive, there should be a set of rails located in the Bay, two 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws are required to secure the Rails.

    Procedures on pages 26 to 28 of the owners manual should give you an idea of what is required for installation.

    http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-3847-desktop_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.PDF

    You will need a SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

    After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.

    For Windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted.

    Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.

  • Inspiron 3847 Office HDMI not wake up monitor

    Just bought a desktop computer Inspiron 3847 with integrated graphics to assess if we bring to our society.  Connected to an ASUS HDMI monitor and have no video.  Could not understand what was going on so connected via VGA instead and it worked as expected.  Ultimately determined that the Inspiron does not send a signal of alarm for the monitor.  Tried the monitor on a different model computer and it worked correctly.  Tried another cable with the monitor and the Inspiron HDMI but no change.  So, it means using a HDMI on the Inspiron 3847 monitor to turn on the monitor after starting the computer for it to connect via HDMI.  Checked to see if there was a BIOS update, but I have the version 2, which was recently published.  Any suggestions on how to make the Inspiron wake up the monitor when the system is powered or exit the mode 'sleep'?

    I had the same problem, but fortunately got better help Dell Cathaleen did.  I just bought an Inspiron 3847 of Dell desktop computer and also bought a new monitor ASUS from amazon.  Worked well with the VGA cable, but did not work with the HDMI cable.  The solution is simple, just do it once and you'll be ready to go. Basically, you need turn on the input screen while it is on the VGA HDMI cable. Then remove the VGA cable and install the HDMI cable.  Here's how: 1. hang your desktop on the screen with the VGA cable. 2. press "menu" on the monitor ASUS Punch.  3 scroll to 'Input Select' with the 'Down' button on the screen (just to the left of the menu button). 4 drill the menu button to switch to the list of the 5 cables.  Scroll down to select HDMI. 5. remove the VGA cable and install the HDMI cable.

  • Noise of Dell Studio XPS 9100 CPU fan failure CPU fan

    My Dell Studio XPS 9100 did a loud intermittent noise for a few months and then last week I got a CPU fan fault message while booting. I blew all the dust from the fan and I always get the CPU fan failure message. I finally got the system starts by placing a small fan blowing air into the funnel will CPU/processor fan.

    Alas, my warranty expired 2 weeks ago. I'm kicking myself contacting technical support a few months ago, when the problem started.

    I need to replace the fan. What parts need me, and where can I get them?

    Thanks much for the reply.

    Thank you. After being tossed a little I transferred to the sales and ordered a new CPU fan for a cost total which includes shipping and taxes of $42.25. Too bad it wasn't 2 weeks ago, then she would have been free.

    The seller said that I would not need thermal paste. Is this correct?

  • CPU fan failure: Dell inspects the expedient to the customer before computers the they?

    After waiting 11 days which includes I believe a week in the production of my Tower, 17/11/2015 I finally received my new Inspiron Desktop Edition Gamer (Intel). I turned on the computer and guess what I saw on the screen "CPU Fan Failure".  So now, I have to return the tower to a Dell for a tech to fix the problem with the fan.

    Here's my question. Fact or not Dell inspect their product before they will deliver to their customers? Well, Dell has not delivered the product if a "CPU Fan Failure" had existed before shipment.

    Unfortunately things can occur in vessels too...

    Before send back you, open the case and check if the cable is correctly connected to the motherboard. The cable may have jumped out of the motherboard.

    Just unplug it and plug it back to the motherboard. If it's totally off the Board, you can go to the Support page for this exact model and look for the link at the top of this page for the manual. Most service manuals show a diagram of components/connectors on motherboard and CPU fan connector must be checked.

    If everything's fine, which solves the problem, so you won't have to send again.

  • Envy 17: Keyboard Flex, the keys not working not properly, a fan failure

    I bought my computer laptop last January 2014 to JB HiFi, I already noticed that the keyboard flexes, but they told me that it is normal and the keys work well anyway.

    Move to the last month, I noticed that the bottom surface of my laptop keeps splitting open whenever I have fold to the top of my screen to turn it on. If it can be repaired by pressing gently to close again, it seems to have caused the laptop to ask a fan failure notice every time that I turn it on, asking me to press the Enter key to continue or wait 15 seconds so it will turn off.

    I searched on youtube on how to solve this problem and I discovered that blowing fan can solve this problem quickly. I tried several times the breath of the fan before turning on the laptop but it does not always work for me. Fan failure screen always displays at startup. I could not work long hours because I noticed that my laptop has been overheating a lot, probably because of the failure of the fan. I had to turn off for a few minutes let cool and start to work again, thus breaking any momentum of work I.

    Then, five days ago I realized that Fan failure screen is not displayed, but things just got worse. Left keys do not work correctly more for example. If I press 'e', it will enter "qe", "2" will enter the '13' and so on. Now this made me suspect that the space in which the keyboard flexes a lot and the fan failure overheating left hand side of the laptop were the cause of the keys with a malfunction, maybe condensation or so.

    Please help me out here, I use my laptop for my studies and I can't afford to buy a new.

    Kind regards

    Hi K N R K,.

    I tried your method three times, but the keys are still faulty. This is the current behavior I get:

    F5 - turn on the backlight with ' + '.
    F7 – lowers the volume with ' - '.
    F8 - increases volume with ' / '.
    2. does not show '2', but active random dialog boxes (depends on the active window)
    NumLock - types "5 [---].
    w active entry
    Shift + w - paste from Clipboard
    Enter - 'L';
    4 entries "14".
    5 entries "25".
    6 - entries '+ 6'
    -entries + '+ 6'
    x - entries 'x 25 '.
    1 entries "14".
    2 entries "25".
    3 entries '3 '.
    CTRL + v - entered "s".
    FN - inputs + 6
    SPACEBAR - entered '25 4. / »
    Up - entries '.on '.
    -Scrolling and entries "14".
    0 - entered "0" and enter
    . -entries '.» 3. "

    If ever the keyboard will work properly again, you have any recommendation with the intrados cleavage whenever I have bend toward the top of the screen to turn on the laptop.

    Kind regards
