XPS 420 system battery voltage is low

When restarting my computer Dell XPS 420, I get the error "system battery voltage is low.  I have 3 options: F1 to continue, F2 to setup utility and F5 for on-Board Diagnostics.

I did all 3, but the error never goes away.

What should I do?

Looks like the battery on the motherboard is out. You must open the computer, remove the battery and replace it.  According to me, that they are of types CR 2023 you can find at Wal-Mart, Target, anywhere else.

    There is an internal battery that stores the settings of the system when the computer is turned off.  Looks like yours needs to be replaced.  Consult the manual that came with the computer and/or web support site to see if it is something that you can replace or if you need assistance, replace it.  In most computers, it is fairly easy to replace, in the majority of laptops almost impossible.

    PROBLEMS WITH THE COMMISSIONING

    Hi roy,.

    · What is the number and the model of the computer?

    · What is the heating of the computer at startup?

    According to my research, there seems to be problem with the CMOS battery. I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

    Important: changing the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Dell XPS 420 with Vista Home Premium, replaced the hard drive, download now blue screen errors

    My girlfriend has a desktop Dell XPS 420 quit working a year or 2 ago. A computer technician told me that it sounded as if the hard drive was bad, recently I purchased from Dell, a Seagate 1 TB hard drive (the original is a Western Digital 320 GB).

    I bought also, once again from Dell, a copy of its installation discs for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

    I installed the new hard drive, correctly, as far as I can tell, but I tried several times over the past days to install Vista and a few times I got errors (BSoD) STOP and a few other times, Windows Installer errors.

    What's wrong?

    I run Dell diagnostics that took almost a whole day, but I don't think anything. I have not partitioned the hard drive, it's like 931 GB.

    I think that may be something related to the RAM, but I'm not sure.

    Thanks for any help.

  • drive eSATA on XPS 420

    I recently bought a RAID battery external LaCie 2big Quadra to use among a few computers. This external RAID array has just 2 hard drives that I currently have in RAID 0. It can connect to a computer via USB, Firewire 400, Firewire 800 and eSATA. I need this because only my XPS eSATA and I need the eSATA write speed on my XPS while I occasionally have read data from USB on other computers. Read around, people say that the eSATA port is only intended to be used in RAID mode with an internal hard drive. This has never explained when I bought my XPS and he said that the eSATA port is for adding hard drives in the user manual. He said nothing about that only work in RAID. Read around, I also found people who had the chance with the Western Digital drives, get these work simply as another external hard drive only.

    I currently have a single hard drive inside my computer and I can't clear all information (Yes, critical information is saved on a USB hard drive). I want to use my LaCie external hard drive with eSATA port, but not in RAID mode with my internal hard drive. The LaCie is already a RAID 0 array. It seems that this can be done. Dell has announced the eSATA port as an eSATA port for adding hard disks capable external eSATA, do not set up a RAID array.

    As of now, when I plug in my XPS 420 via eSATA LaCie hard drive, he installed new drivers for the ATA Channel 1. and in the Device Manager, by looking at the properties of ATA Channel 1 shows that there are 2 devices supported on the channel. It must be LaCie hard drives, but... I do not see the partitions (I have 2 there right now) pop up in my computer.

    I am VERY surprised no one has mentioned this clearly in another thread.

    I decided to risk everything and go with my instinct.

    I tried to update my downloads page of the Intel ICH9 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 with drivers ICH9 SATA AHCI of the package on the computer XPS 420 Intel Matrix Storage Manager. After that, so I got a BSOD and my computer restarted. During the restart, even before taking the trouble to solve the problem of possible new driver, I created, I went into the BIOS to RAID Autodetect / ATA Mode of RAID for the hard drive I had in my computer. Vista booted up, installed new drivers for HDD and other IDE like my DVD - RW devices. and wamo, everything works. I plugged in my LaCie external hard drive via the eSATA port, and now I see it as a hard drive in my computer. It didn't remove this device as the eSATA is like having the external drive as a hard drive is internal.

    Now, when my computer starts, a new screen appears for a few seconds for the Matrix Storage Manager there. It says press Ctrl + I to set up RAID or RAID settings. I have just to leave the screen sitting there for 2-3 seconds and start as I always have.

    With RAID in BIOS, Vista will not even use the ICH9 SATA AHCI drivers, I tried to install, it installed new drivers, it automatically finds when Vista starts after turning on the RAID. So the solution to my problem was simply turn on RAID in the BIOS... which, as a side effect, light the eSATA port.

    So to be clear, you have a hard disk or several internal hard drives and uses a drive eSATA hard, but not in any RAID mode. You turn on the RAID in the BIOS, but simply never none of the drives set up RAID.

    I did have to reinstall Vista or whatever it is.

    NOTE: I have updated the BIOS version A03, A06 before doing any of this.

  • 16 GB of Ram (4x4Go) supported? OptiPlex 755 and XPS 420

    I have Optiplex 755 and XPS 420 - multiple

    They have little big machines for virtualization.

    I have currently all "maxed out" on them to 8 GB of RAM each, which is the maximum listed for each.

    Often, I found these "maximum" specifications based on the largest available at the time of publication dimm and not necessarily a limitation of the system.

    Or the other of these machines support DIMMs to 4 GB?

    Some Dell employees can reply to messages here, but the majority of Dell employees involved with the forums are just moderators who do things of course go in soft/correctly and in general, they don't respond to messages.

    Remove all the RAM and then remove the battery from the motherboard. Press/hold power button for about 30 seconds and then reinstall the battery. Now, try to boot with no RAM installed. If you get no beeps of the Tower, it is the likelihood the motherboard has failed...

  • Cleaning of partition XPS 420 (software Dec 2008)

    It is a XPS 420 computer with the software factory installed around December 2008.

    I just went back to Windows 7 to Windows 8.  I tried to reinstall Vista install since my office by default Dell but my displayed menus never matched those in the instructions.

    So, I did a clean install from the disk of release of Windows 7.  Left me with the recovery (d) partition.  It is no longer used from this new facility.

    My questions: 1) can I delete the recovery partition (D :)?  (2) can I use that and any other partition on the system drive for other uses at the moment?

    Ed T.

    Hi Ed T,.

    Yes, you can delete the recovery partition using Disk Management Console and merge with the OS partition, or use it for purposes of data storage. You can follow the steps below to access the Disk Management Console:

    • Click Start
    • Right click on "Computer" and click "manage".
    • Click 'Yes' if the UAC asking permission
    • Click on "disk management".
    • Right-click on the partition you want to delete and click 'Delete Volume'.
    • Now, right-click on the operating system drive and click on "Extend the Volume" to merge the C disk recovery partition.

    Note: Deleting the volume led to the loss of data on this volume

    You can also check out the video below.

    In addition, as you have reinstalled the Windows operating system, it is recommended to install the latest drivers from the link: http://dell.to/QjjZDA.

    Enter the serial number-> select the operating system and download/install the drivers in the order as shown in the link: http://dell.to/X1IKGu

  • Dell XPS 420 not go, bright, flashing orange light orange on the motherboard, flashing green light behind USB on motherboard

    I am running Windows 7 on my XPS 420, I had updated the power supply two years back and installed extra ram and an SSD, a few months ago.

    I quit the PC last night, normally

    This morning, it is not booting, the light was blinking orange, including the connected mouse was blinking also.

    I decided to open it and check all connections; everything went well on the inside.  Before you open the PC, I unplugged all the extras connected like mouse, etc.

    The computer has actually started up normally and when I plugged the monitor it looked ordinary, he had reached the Windows login screen.

    HOWEVER, when I plugged the first rear USB component, the computer off and started to blink.

    I'm not sure what the problem is here.  My motherboard is fried?  I don't think it's the power supply from the computer DID resume after I noticed the blinking yellow light.  I wonder if the flashing of the earlier mouse and/or the flashing green on the back (inside the PC) of USB port average something else.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated

    AC360

    First check that all the cables for power and data are correctly connected, including the cables on the front panel.

    No difference and if you're comfortable working around computers, you can try the following:

    Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.

    Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 24-pin motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, plug in the power cord and the power of the system, if the PSU, case fans and disk hard drive performance then the power supply can be good.

    Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

    Extract supply and the system still does not work, yet once remove the power cord, hold button power in a few seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 24 pin to the motherboard.

    Remove any PCI video card [as appropriate], memory cards, all the devices, unplug data cables and power to all readers, check that the cable from the front panel is connected to the motherboard, without anything else connected to the system, reconnect the power cable and power the system on.

    If there is no difference in the diagnostic lights, of "Beep" codes and/or the indication of the LED on the power button, it would seem that the motherboard is dead and/or the processor and the only method I know to check a processor is perhaps install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

  • How many cables needed to install HD 2nd on XPS 420

    I bought a 2n HD for my XPS 420. I went on the 'Dell' site which had
    'recommended' for my system upgrade parts. I bought a (WD
    Cavier BLK 1 to 6 G/s SATA 7200 RPM 64 MB 5). Whenever I added a second HD
    a pc there was always at least 1 cable/cables available to add at least 1
    additional component. There was 1 end of extra cable, but only 1. Primary school
    a 2 cables. 1 that looks like the extra (I admit this is the)
    ('SATA' because it plugs into the new drive with ease) the second looks like
    like it could be a power cable. I tried to go back to see if it happened to
    the food, but I was unable to follow. The new drive is not recognized
    by 'My computer' or 'disk management '. I could not find
    another cable that was available. I think that if there had to be another cable
    It would come with the new drive or at least, I would have asked if I
    wanted to get it a. I can't believe Dell would have little
    passed up a sale.

    Any
    help in would be great.

    ' City, ' the Sata cable goes to the motherboard.

    Yes, you need a 24 "long cable SATA data with a 90 * L connector at one end, similar to the following

    You should be able to connect the cable to any SATA connector on the motherboard.

    After you have installed the hard disk addititional, check in the configuration of the system that the drive SATA port is connected, is activated.

    See HERE

    Details of adjustment system, are HERE

    After the installation, Windows see the drive, you have to partition, format, and assign a drive letter to the new hard drive, disk management.
