Dell G15-5511 Gaming: The laptop randomly wouldn't turn on

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 09:21:20 -0700

In the morning I was gaming on the laptop everything was fine the temps were a bit too high but anyways after I finished I disconnected the charger from the laptop and closed the power outlit (Note: I have two extention cable connected to each other since they are too short) after some time at arround midnight I go back to turn on the laptop I get nothing not even a single light I tried charging it with different wall outlit but still not even getting a single light from the laptop. I can tell the charger is working I even tried a hard reset still nothing. Something I forgot to add is that I allways leave the keyboard and mouse plugged in to the laptop

Dell G15-5511 Gaming: When moving my laptop around, the screen glitches and freezes.

Sat, 13 Jan 2024 09:53:46 -0700

I have this issue mostly when i pick up my laptop too fast with one hand or when i keep it on my lap.

The screen glitches (shows pink and green pixels in random spots) then freezes, or if it doesnt freeze, it shows a blue screen with no error indication.

This is not a software issue 100%, i have reinstall windows twice and problem persists.

Please advice what to do

Dell G15-5511 Gaming: Storage space low for no reason

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 06:11:55 -0700

I recently got a Dell G15 5520 that's running Windows 11 with a Core i7-12700H 16 GB memory, and I use it for both gaming and research, because my old one was excruciatingly slow. I haven't had it for a month and the disk space is already low, even though last night I checked it, and it was 227 GB of 453 GB free. Now it's 56 GB of 453 GB free! I ran both defragment and disk cleanup, neither worked. Settings say temporary files are taking up 212 GB, installed apps 65 GB, and other 34 GB. But when I go into temporary files, it only shows 24 GB of stuff, including the downloads folder. I'm Starting to think it's an unfixable virus or something, because my antiviruses WOULD NOT detect anything (I have both McAfee LiveSafe and Malwarebytes Premium). Soon I'll just put all the stuff I care about on a hard drive and factory reset the thing. Please help soon! 🙏🙏🙏

Dell G15-5511 Gaming: Why is my screen not working?

Sat, 13 Jan 2024 05:05:28 -0700

My screen for the laptop will not display, the keyboard will light up. I tried to do a LED test but it still wouldn’t turn on. I disconnected and reconnected the battery cable and it still doesn’t turn on!
