Dell XPS 15 9500: Replacing Qualcomm AX500 Killer Wifi

Fri, 29 Nov 2024 06:11:41 -0700

This Qualcomm AX500 Wifi does not work for me using Linux and I wanted to replace it with a Intel Wireless-AC 9260 (M.2 (PCIe)). However on the top left corner there is the card reader (green) where the Wifi module used to be.

Any change replacing the Wifi (red)? Is is soldered to the board or still an M.2 PCI card?

Dell XPS 15 9500: Won't startup unless plugged in with replacement battery

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 11:27:29 -0700

Hi,

I have replaced the battery for my laptop, it is exactly the same part model, the problem is it won't start unless I use the power brick, then after it starts I can unplug it and it keeps working unless I shutdown and/or put it into sleep mode.

If I try to turn it on without it being connected to the electricity it goes online for a brief moment then shuts itself down again and after that it won't start unless I use the power cable again.

Looks like the battery is fine, I kept the laptop on for 4 hours with the new battery , I don't get any errors in bios and/or windows battery manager and I have tried almost everything I could find online related to windows configuration, if I use the old battery it works as it should.

If someone's got any hint of could it be I would really appreciate it. I hope it is not the replacement battery because I won't be able to get a new one in a long time (I bought it on ifix US and shipped oversea using a private courier since it couldn't be shipped directly, returning it is not an option for me at the moment)

Dell XPS 15 9500: Bios doesn't recognize new battery

Fri, 09 Feb 2024 19:10:06 -0700

My Dell XPS bios does not recognize the new battery. It will start plugged in and if I remove the power it will die. however, if I start it with the power disconnected it will run on battery power. but if I plug it in it will turn off.

I have drained the flea power

I have checked the battery cable.

I have reset the bios to factory defaults

I bought my battery from Ifixit

Dell XPS 15 9500: Why won’t my XPS turn on after shutdown while on battery power?

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 04:36:13 -0700

I recently replaced my XPS battery, but have started to run into issues with startup. The battery works and holds a charge, but it’s almost as if I have to “jump start” my computer by plugging it in to power on from a shut down. The power button will not work on battery power and I have no idea why considering that the battery works. Any help would be much appreciated
