XPS 15 (L502X) poor color calibration

Similar Questions

• Color calibration has a clean mind (on battery)

  If the system has been a stack in any point of the session, color calibration seems to get dirty on the rise according to what is on the screen. If dark colours dominate the screen, the colors go slowly (but apparently) all weird. When it is contained is mainly white on the screen, he returns to normal.

  I've reviewed some power management settings, and none of them seem to relate to this.

  The system is W520 with FHD screen, Intel 8.15.10.2538 drivers, Nvidia 332.21, Windows 7 drivers.

  This does not work on Ubuntu, or on an external monitor.

• Dell XPS 15 L502X restore Windows 10 to 8 - is not the disks

  A few months, I installed Windows 10 back on my XPS 15 L502X. It seemed OK, but a bit clunky. Now I'm sick of it. It is so much slower, freeze things upwards, the Start button does not work, it takes forever to connect, webcam does not always work etc, etc.

  So, I want to return Windows 8.1. In fact, I grew to love this OS. Problem is that I don't have the installation diskettes. I tried to get some via Dell website but it came to a bit of a dead end and I'm not sure if they will be provided after the expiration of the warranty.

  Also, I don't seem to have an activation code on the case - is a problem.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Chris

  You can get Windows 8.1 by following the instructions here:

  But the performance woes are likely due to the fact that you have made an initial upgrade installation. They always perform significantly worse. A clean install of Windows 10 TH2 will work much better:

• XPS 15 L502X notorious problems

  My L502X, I have spent $2,000 on when it was new (what a huge mistake), warranty ran out last month.  As many people know, this laptop is known for video problem when equipped with an nVidia GT 540 m.  My laptop is no exception (and had its motherboard replaced twice, and it's only because I could go months without playing games, otherwise I had fixed it more often).  So today, I was on the phone to try to get the stupidly high repair costs reduced (my hard drive died too, so I finally had to get my laptop fixed, there has been yet another mother bad for months that I had been turned off of fixation), and two representatives from Dell I spoke said that there is a known problem with this laptop (claiming even check this forum then I was on the phone) and also said that if there is a problem, this Dell engineers remember the laptop and the problem (no, it's what THEY do, not what is actually happening).  I am a computer engineer and do not need to be told that I'm doing a problem; I wouldn't mind at this level for a made-up problem.  When asked for an e-mail address I could send some examples, I was told that Dell does not give e-mail addresses (what?  I used email and phone before).  Dell should have found and corrected this problem in test their product before releasing.  In fact I was offered a L521X at some point (which I didn't because they would give me a weaker system and this laptop is known for problems of limitation due to... surprise!)  heat problems), but I turned down, and I regret it now because I could have sold for more money and got rid of this money and the sucking time of the headache.

  in any case, I'm supposed to talk to the support of higher than Dell's soon, because I can't get an email address, I'll post a large number of examples in one place here on the Dell forums both for my own benefits when I talk to Dell and I hope that as a useful resource to others with this problem.

  First of all, the problem is caused by overheating of the GPU.  If you have a L502X with a GT 540 m and you game on it, it will happen to you eventually.  There are a number of things that people have tried that help contain the problem a bit and make it more manageable (sometimes eliminate), such as undervolting and underclocking the GPU.  This is done by a custom BIOS.  More information (and a lot of people talk about problems of crash of L502X) can be found here (you will see a few other mods as well as disassembly of the dust filter to increase the air flow, adding the heatsinks on voltage regulators, etc.):

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/Dell-XPS-Studio-XPS/635536-L502X-modded-BIOSes-download-GPU-voltages-more.html

  Some examples of video of the problem:

  cs_setInnerHtml ('video_2a530158-3000-48ec-abc3-6c84d620fbc1', ");

  Then, here are a few discussions of the forum with information on the subject:

  I could find more, but you get the idea.

  Finally, just to add insult to injury, since among the people that I talked to said that he could not find any info on this problem in the Dell Community, here's some info on the problem of the Dell Community:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/p/19426371/20022831.aspx (problem claims to be fixed, that is when you get a new motherboard... until this one is too toasted)

  I apologize if I have to come off as a bit rude, but I had to deal with 3 years of headaches of this system and have been refused the compromise I proposed (I asked a 14 Alienware and offered to pay 100% of the difference between the L521X who gave me and the system I wanted to) , and I was already told that I might be able to simply retrieve cash from my system.  That proved to be too much hope.  in any case, I hope that some people find it useful.

  So guys, I got my egpu dock and I am currently using an old geforce 9500gt and it works very well so far. The only problem is that dell has in the white list of the wifi port that should be used with this dock, but I will explain everything with this post.

  If you have received your dock, PSU, GPU and you want to plug it in, follow this guide:

  -Boot up your laptop as usual without hang anything or remove anything.

  -Download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and run it (it would run in safe mode, to do); [this would remove the drivers and files of pilots gtx540m correctly, but take nothing to do with the graphics card intel].

  -Restart your laptop twice (just a backup measure).

  -Once you have restarted and in windows, put the laptop to sleep (Yes to sleep).

  -While the laptop is in sleep, return, cancel coverage to bring up the ram and wifi module.

  -Remove the wifi module (Yes, that's how do you bypass the whitelist of dell).

  -Connect cable mpcie egpu to port wifi and screw him.

  -Do not rewake immediately the laptop.

  -Connect the rest of the components egpu; [the GPU to the wharf, mpcie at the wharf, to the docking station power cable (see the manual to do this and do NOT forget, not to FIX THE 4 PIN CONNECTOR in THE DOCK POWER CABLE I.E. TOGETHER WITH THE 20 PIN ATX CABLE, USE an OTHER 4 PINS, THIS WILL CAUSE A short circuit AND BURN YOUR PSU).]

  -Once everything is connected up the laptop, the laptop screen lights up normally.

  -Go to the Manager of devices and look under graphics cards, you should see some generic driver from microsoft with a yellow exclamation point, do a right click and update (you would need to have an ethernet cable is plugged).

  -Once it ends updates (it takes 5 minutes to 20) it would restart, are not '!

  -Put the laptop to sleep and the mpcie cable out and reseating the wifi module, wake the portable computer and then restart.

  -Once the computer restarts, wait a few minutes so he could properly start and then go to Device Manager

  -In the Device Manager, see the topic "Network adapters" and disable everything below (except for ' Intel Centrino Wireless-N '

  -After, put the laptop to sleep.

  -Once more, replace the wifi with cable mpcie module and then wake up the laptop.

  -You will notice that nothing happens, that's normal.

  -Go to the Manager, devices and look under graphics cards you could observe your GPU is there, but with a yellow exclamation point, you would see the error code is error 12, it's normal and good sign.

  -While in the Device Manager, click on 'view' and 'connection device.

  -Expand "Microsoft ACPI-based x 64 PC" and nested under that be "Microsoft ACPI-Complient system" would expand that as well; nested under it's "PCI Express Root Complex" expand who.

  -You are looking for everything that concerns the old gt540m and turn it off, also find everything about bluetooth and turn off, but not wireless - n. [note, the stuff for the gt 540 m could be nested under its own thing, turn off this whole tree that nests the gt 540 m].

  -Once this is done, close Device Manager, put the laptop in sleep mode then replace the cable mcpie with wifi module and restart.

  -After restart, wait a few minutes and put it to sleep.

  -Replace the wifi with cable mpcie module and wake the portable computer; do nothing at this point, wait a few seconds and your secondary monitor would start to display a screen.

  -At this point you have set up your external GPU.

  Things to note:

  To go between your GPU and your wifi module, you must put your laptop to turn it on and sleep (this is why everything about wireless-N was not disabled). You try to start the laptop with the GPU already attached would not work, everything would be empty, but again your laptop seems like he wants to do something. Error code 12 is related to lack of resources for the new component PCIe be ran.

  If you are looking for a simpler way of this external GPU configuration, there is a software called Nando Setup 1.3 that simplifies installation without the need to disable anything and for sleep constant exchange of GPU with wifi module, you can also start with the GPU already set by using the software, but it costs US$ 25.

  If you use a recent card after 2010 and nvidia, you can use the laptop instead of an external display screen; However, I advise to use one during the installation procedure. BUT, by using the internal form would reduce the performance of the GPU at about 30% less, is because the way mcpie is more saturated.

  If you guys have questions, do not hesitate to ask, I will try my best to answer.

• Problem Dell xps 15 L502x charger.

  I have a dell XPS 15.  Before a few days I started getting an error message: charger is plugged in but does not support.  Anyone have any ideas what it is?  Thanks in advance.

  I tried to re install quickset64, but he did not change this problem.

  I ask you all to out get me of this problem.

  I had the same problem and I bought two batteries and always the same, I thought to buy new charger but goanna is to be too much for this stupid laptop. its cost very expensive like MAC but that nothing according to MAC and I got a new TOSHIBA with the same specifications that my i7 Dell XPS 15 L502X stupid, with the price less than $375 and is much more than Dell which never recommended by me to any.

  If Dell respect his client and it is a respectful organization, should be remembered this point in the market and replacement with a new or to pay less. In this way, it will keep its reputation in a top.

  Thank you

• Next step in the color calibration

  Hello:

  I now have a monitor color calibration that comes close to matching this only outputs of my printer, but I want to bring closer you.  If I understand the process, basically what I now want to do is make slight adjustments so that what is on my screen corresponds to what comes out of the printer.  I find that the printer produces images slightly more dark that appear on the screen.  I guess the first thing I do is to recalibrate the screen to match the printer (profile ICC of Ilford), which would mean a reduction in brightness.  Right now I'm at 80cd.  Should what kind of steps I use in these settings?  In other words, I'm dealing with the target as the printer ICC profile and trying to match the target screen.  Is this the right approach?

  Second, what differences White Point setting (6500K) and contrast (286:1) will be in term to better align the screen to the printer?  And in what direction.

  As you can tell, I'm new to the color calibration.

  Thank you

  Jack Siegel

  A Shirley would surely be a woman named... I jest, just not too well this morning

  But it would be an example of a photo you know is properly color managed if it prints directly on your game to the top.  Have next new images to be printed must be a good visual guide to this process; only one check more along the way.

• Satellite L500 - reset color calibration

  HI -.

  I've only had my L500 Satellite during the week. I have a problem with the images on the laptop with a blue cast. I calibrated color and get perfect only so he can reset when the computer is turned off and restarted. Tried several times without success.

  Can anyone help?

  Hey,.

  Can you tell me where you have changed the colors exactly, please?

  Normally, you can change the colors in the options of the display driver. After that, you will need to save the new settings and save them as new profile.
