Dell Studio 15 Series: Turns on using Media Button not power button

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 15:19:31 -0700

I have reloaded the OS without the media portion of the Dell installation, but unlike my other studio 15, this one only "powers on" after touching the "media" button. The power key does nothing. It will not power the laptop off or turn it such as on my other studio laptop. The Bios is the same and OS installation is for Vista, no special selection are made during installation so why would this PC not use the power button? Mind you the Dell Media software is not installed. So it should not be in play...

Dell XPS 15 9550: Display hinge broke from base

Sat, 09 May 2020 10:08:40 -0700

Hi,

My laptop hit the floor and the post that the laptop base hex screw attaches to snapped off. Not a problem, however the laptop keeps separating every time I close the lid and I have to push the top and bottom together to put the laptop to sleep. It’s now causing more internal damage and when I open it up, the clip has snapped off the laptop base as well as the screw hole to the base is also cracked in half. I’ve attached pics but wanted to know the hinge was attached to that I need to replace, as well as the hinge itself. This is on the same side as the power button. Any info would be very much appreciated. And not sure if the pictures uploaded or not but have those too.

Thanks!

Asus ROG Strix GL702VM-BHI7N09: Rog gaming center will not open! Freezes my cp? D:?

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 08:40:25 -0700

'''MY DEVICE WASNT MENTIONED :

ASUS ROG GL753VD-DS71 17.3" Intel Core i7 7th Gen 7700HQ (2.80 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 16 GB Memory 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop'''

I changed a power setting on the ROG Center, a few weeks prior. After two days, My laptop had an update and had begun to freeze and did not work further-- till I'd have to press the power button for it to be usable. It now does this this every 24 to 36 hours (estimate)?

I close my laptop almost every day and I dont know if that's the reason. But, i started doing some research then realized: It could have been the ROG center. So i thought, okay, simple fix, I'll just revert those changes.

NOPE. The button does nothing but, show that it's processing on my mouse/arrow.

I'd wait a while, nothing.

I'd restart my cp, nothing.

I don't know what to do.

Please help :)

My laptop is being unusually slow but I have no idea why. I've been running an Anti-Virus protection without any problems. I also make sure it is updating automatically. It just started recently and never had problems before. I've gotten no reports on any threats to my computer. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

Microsoft Surface Book Keyboard: Keyboard battery not charging

Out of the blue, battery 2 (the battery located in the keyboard) stopped charging and is now permanently at 0%. When the Surface book and the keyboard are connected bettery 1 (the battery located in the screen is charging normally).

I tried replacing the battery in the keyboard, but it didn't help. What do you think could be the solution? I tried to find a replacement GPU board without success.
