XPS 15 9530 keypad backlight settings

I clicked on start, Control Panel, windows Mobility Center, but didn't see an option to set my backlit keyboard settings. How can I change how long the keyboard stays on?

Hi jpurvin,

Download and install DFE - http://dell.to/1IojRzC - from this link. Then go to control panel-> you should find the Dell keyboard backlight settings or you could open the keyboard settings-> backlight tab - you can find options to set the backlight time.

Keep us updated.

  • Dell XPS 15 9530 Boot stuck at the logo

    Hello

    I have a Dell XPS 15 9530 with only 10 of Windows installed. After a simple reboot that I noticed that the boot process has started taking a long time (> 5 minutes), but in the end, Windows starts correctly and evertything worked well. I run the diagnostic test and no error is returned.

    Then I tried to restore the BIOS to defaults setting and now the trunk seems to take more time, I'm still waiting for 30 minutes ago.

    The boot process stuck at the point where the Dell logo is visible (I think until all treated windows starts). It's the same thing if I try to enter the parameters of WOOD, so for now I'm not able to access the settings. I don't really know what to do.

    If you have any suggestions, help me a lot :)

    Start by pressing F12 at startup until a start menu appears - start the Dell diagnostics and run a test lying on the system, in particular the disk of hard/SS.

  • Activate the touch screen capabilities fresh Windows 8.1 Install - Dell XPS 15 9530

    So, I had one that I puzzled. I just got a new Dell computer yesterday and as I did the last 10 + years, I install a copy fresh retail because, like most people, hate dealing with their additional software and prefer a clean install, so I don't just not deal with uninstallation, etc.. It turns out that that may have been a bad idea. After that the installation has been made, touch no longer works on the screen. I installed the drivers from the Dell site without success. The Device Manager has no missing material and all windows updates are up-to-date. Intel recognition system stylus and touchscreen capability there. I also checked the settings Pen and Touch on the contact tab and everything seems to be OK (everything I compare these parameters on is a Dell coming Pro 8, but they are the same). My suspicion and I might be away on this, is that I use a copy rather than the OEM of Windows 8.1 copy retail. I got tired of a Pro and a regular retail (Yes, two legal copies) and none worked. I don't know that new computers have the key embedded in the uefi (bios). I tried to install with or without the embedded key substitution. But it's the only thing I can think of and I hope you guys had a few ideas or someone else has had this problem and can help me to solve the problems. Model: Dell XPS 15 9530 with QHD touchscreen monitor +. Update: I discarded retail vs oem fresh installs. I tried an installation using backup/restore of Dell disks. Same deal. It is to be some sort of setting or driver who is not on their site.

    I cannot yet understand what has gone wrong, but Dell pulled out and swapped the screen out and it works perfectly. I swear it worked out of the box, so I have no idea how the material do not so fast, but the good news is that it is fixed!

    Hello

    I got the XPS 15 (9530, end 2013) a few days earlier with widnows 8.1 installed on it and since day 1 I'm running into a weird problem. All my USB devices keeps disconnecting. If its my phone (HTC a M8) or my portable hard drives. I tried several cables and the result is the same.

    I tried to connect all the devices on the different laptops and they work very well except for my laptop. One thing that I know you guys is that if I have my phone connected with the laptop, it charges great however, I am unable to navigate any file on my phone because it keeps disconnecting.

    Any help?

    I could solve my 9530 Dell USB connection/disconnection problem with this combo.

  • Dell XPS 15 (9530) Flawed mSATA Setup

    I've had my new XPS 15 4 days now, and overall, it's a very impressive machine. I got the middle range (with 1 TB of HARD drive). However, I wish to inform the community on certain issues I'm having, and to publicly display this particular machine is available with a wrong setting.

    My model comes with 16 GB of memory system. It has a 32 GB mSATA player intended to be used to start fast Intel and Intel Rapid Storage. The mSATA is partitioned with 8 GB for Intel Rapid Start, and 22 GB for Intel Rapid Storage. However, Intel clearly documents that you need a score equal to the size of the system memory for Intel Quick start working. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CDIQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.intel.com%2Fsupport%2Fmotherboards%2Fdesktop%2Fsb%2Frapid_start_technology_user_guide_for_uefi1.pdf&ei=m1OHUpzGAdPpkAfE8YGIDg&usg=AFQjCNH7Rh6iQN6hSR0Ry3oBF6kGmxgjaA&sig2=e--yKMT7hoApFUI_7kMyEA This makes sense because what he does is write an image of the system for the SSD memory.

    Therefore, Intel Rapid Start does not work on the XPS 15 9530 midrange... I noticed this because it starts slower than my old laptop Inspiron 15 with its Crucial SSD.

    Unfortunately, we can not solve this problem to repartition the mSATA. If you dedicate 16 GB on the mSATA to start fast Intel, only 14GB remain to Intel Rapid Storage, which requires a minimum of 18.6 GB at work.

    Dell needs to ship this model with a larger mSATA for both technologies work.

    Now I have really no better personally, my intention was to recycle my 512 GB Crucial M4 as boot drive by performing a Windows Installer Cleanup on it. This would allow me to devote the entire mSATA to Intel Quick start. Unfortunately, this system is not delivered with Windows Installer records. And I can't order one like Dell system does not recognize my Service tag. I tried to use the resettlement factory disks I did to reinstall on my SSD, but they won't let me not reinstall it to a smaller drive. I could destroy the partition of 6.96 final recovery, reduce the primary partition, and then clone the disk with Clonezilla, but my intention was to maintain the original drive as backup and the SSD would not align correctly.

    Another issue I had was the McAfee Firewall which is preinstalled prevented me from affecting a second private network. I uninstalled it after failing to find a solution. Windows Defender appears to be adequate antivirus and its much easier to the value of the 2nd private network with Windows Firewall.

    Overall I am very happy with my new computer, but I don't think I'll be really happy until I can go to the SSD. I can solve this problem by ordering a 1 EVO to Samsung of TB, but makes me the high XPS 15 9530 until the price, and I didn't go. And I would always have the alignment problem, if I clone the drive. So I hope that my service tag will be recognized soon allowing me to order the disks to reinstall Windows.

    Well, it took a while, but I solved this problem. And I did it without having to reinstall Windows!

    (1) I disabled caching in the Intel RST utility. I then removed the HARD drive, he and an SSD on a desktop connected and Clonezilla to clone the SSD drive.

    Put the SSD in the XPS 15; boots fine and fast.

    2) switch to AHCI mode (necessary to optimize SSDS and remove Intel RST):

    Open a command prompt and run the following command to enable safe mode start:
    bcdedit/set {current} minimum safeboot
    Restart the computer and start the system BIOS.
    Change the setting from Intel Rapid Storage (RAID) in Mode AHCI ATA drive
    Click Yes to the warning on the change of mode detected on the ATA embedded controller.
    Normally, the system starts in safe mode.
    Open a command prompt and run the following command to remove the safe mode startup option:
    bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
    Restart the computer and boot up normally. You will notice mSATA is not recognized at all.

    (3) recognising the mSATA

    Windows I, open Control Panel, hardware, Device Manager
    Select the IDE controller, controller SATA Intel, update driver software
    Let me pick from a list of device on my computer drivers
    Select the 2nd driver - the Microsoft Intel (r) 8 Series SATA AHCI Controller - 8 03
    Reset. Upon restart, the mSATA will recognize.

    (4) repartition mSATA
    Windows key, diskmgmt.msc. You can now see and delete the Intel Rapid Storage cache partition.
    Windows key, cmd, open as administrator
    DiskPart
    Select disk 1
    Create partition efi size = 16384
    the game ID = D3BFE2DE-3DAF-11DF-BA40-E3A556D89593
    to exit
    Windows key, diskmgmt.msc. You can now partition the remaining space on mSATA if you wish.

    Now you can completely uninstall Intel Rapid Storage (unnecessary with SSD).
    You can put a bigger mSATA in system and use it for storage. He can probably set up for dual

  • Tap the wire of the damaged Panel: Dell XPS 15 9530

    Hi, my XPS 15 9530 touch screen no longer works. The thread for the touchscreen that emanates from the display panel and goes into the motherboard seems to have burned to a point. I don't know why it burns all of a sudden. Is there a way I can change this thread without replacing the whole display unit?

    Any help or suggestion is appreciated...

    Thank you

    (ps: I m out of warranty)

    Unfortunately, no - Assembly is melted and the adhesive.  It is very unlikely, you would be able to remove the glass without breaking, and even less likely you will end up with an Assembly of work when you re - assemble.

    There are two possible causes - a wire shorted out of being crimped together is one.  A second would be a fault of power with the motherboard that has sent too much power through the cable and fact it is overheating.  You can consult the repair to a professional so that they can determine what happened before spending hundreds of dollars on a screen only to find out that you need to spend as much or more on a replacement of the motherboard as well.

  • Re: Where can I find the backlight settings?

    I found nothing about changing the settings for the keyboard backlight in the manual.
    Are possibillities there?

    For example:
    Can I set the time of his lit.an I turned it on all the time?
    Then I turned it on only when its dark autour? (Evening/night)

    I would check manuals but don t know which model of laptop you have and what operating system you use.
    If you use Win7 http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD2603CL0000R01.htm check (check also FN + Z)
    The options you can also find if you open Toshiba Assist > Optimize > HWsetup. You'll find options that you need.

    If you use open Win8 Toshiba Assist Office > function key and you will find these settings. Using FN + Z, you can switch between ON / OFF and timer mode.

  • XPS 13 9350 uneven backlight

    Hi all

    I'm really happy with my new XPS 13, however, there is a problem that drives me crazy. This problem is backlight uneven. Although it can be seen well on black background and in a dark room only, I encounter whenever I'm watching a movie.

    I did a picture of this problem:
    www.dropbox.com/.../Backlighting.jpg

    Only the marked spot is very noticeable. Other spots are invisible to the naked eye, so they don't bother me.

    My questions are:
    1. is this a defect that can be repaired?
    2. If so, what is the Dell policy on repairs in Russia? Can I have a replacement while my laptop is in the service center?
    3. someone else has the same problem?

    This is a result of the FHD display... It is really sensitive to the pressure. Of course it is repairable, but your problem seems fairly minor - but if it bothers you then contact support. I would try to adjust the pressure if you're paying attention (maybe try to lift the area of the screen a little at this place).
