HI,MY DELL INSPIRON 2200 LAPTOP DOES NOT UPDATE TIME & DATE AFTER SHUTTING DOWN & POWER UP. IS THIS A BATTERY PROBLEM?
November 29th, 2006 at 12:12 pm
My 4 yr old inspiron 8500 has been working fine until last weekend. The screen flickers with vertical strips. Seems like when I pick up the laptop the lines jump around and flicker more than when it’s just sitting there. I connected to external monitor and get the same flickering. This problem occurs pretty much from boot up .. even affects the text output that you see when the computer first boots up .. shows the text chars fine but the vertical lines are vertical colored lines. Anyway, I opened up the computer.. took out and reseated the memory as well as the video card. That didn’t help. Yesterday I was able to operate for about 20 mins without any flickering (didn’t move the computer at all) then started pressing around the panel with the power button (and status lights) and picked up the computer a bit and the lines and flickering started again. I’m guessing the video card is bad or the connections are bad. Any way I can fix this? Could this be the “cracked connection points” mentioned above? If so, where can I find info about this? (Searched google and didn’t find anything)

I have a dell Latitude D505, It will not accept a charge. The problem started with my AC adapter, when adapter plugged into wall the power light lit up indicating that there was power running thru it. Once it was plugged into my computer and the connection had made full contact, the adapter light went out. It would then still work by charging with my port replicater and would charge that way. About a month later, I began to have the same problem with my replicator, once I connected my laptop the power lights would go out on my replicator. My computer will start and function properly with a charged battery, but I am unable to charge my batteries or run on AC. Any suggestions or comments on what may be creating this problem? Thanks

I would like to perform a bios password reset for a Dell Inspiron 5100, but I need to know exactly where the chip is located. I have search endlessly! Help me please!

Anna,
Have you tried reinstalling the video driver? You can find the driver on the Dell Support website in the Drivers and Downloads section. You have to enter your laptop model and then the operating system installed on your laptop. After that you’ll get a list of downloads available for your computer. Download and install the video adapter driver and see if it fixes the problem.

I have a problem with my dell inspiron 710m, the screen display suddenly turns very shady and everything is just hard to read.Also all the desktop icons tend to be so large.It says something about the BIOS and about upgrading the display drive.Can anyone help me with this? I tried to find out how to solve it but still in no luck.

Douglas,
It looks like a bad LCD screen to me.
A failed video cable usually affects the video output on the entire screen, not just a part of the screen. So it’s not the video cable problem.
You still have a backlight, so it’s not FL inverter failure.
The video on the external screen is fine, so it’s not the motherboard/video card failure.
The only part left is the LCD screen. In my opinion, the screen is bad and must be replaced to fix the video issue.

Hi.
Thanks for the reply, and the suggestion. I tried an external monitor – and as you predicted, the image was just fine. Is this good news or bad news? Does this mean the LCD is bad? Is this a common occurrance? What might be the cause of the failure? What do you suggest as to my next step in getting this resolved?
Many thanks in advance!

Douglas,
I thinks that’s a screen problem. Start the laptop with an external monitor connected to the VGA port. Check the video output on the external monitor. Most likely it would be normal, without any lines. Is it? So, it’s not a memory problem because a failed memory would affect both screens – the laptop LCD screen and the external monitor.
Let me know how it goes.
