All important stuff related to PC are on the MOBO itself, the only thing(s) you connect are battery, keyboard, LCD screen and touchpad - if the dimensions are same (it fits inside the case), should it work?

My Dell XPS 9700 has been persistently buggy for a long time. Fan runs constantly, occasional unexplained freeze-ups. I was doing something unrelated to the problems when I discovered that Windows believes I only have 8 gigs of RAM on this thing. I checked software & boot issues and nothing turned up. Seems like the remaining option is to replace/reseat the RAM. How difficult would it be to crack this thing open and do that myself. I've replaced batteries in phones, but that's about all the iFixit I have ever done.

thanks,

Doug

Is this a known problem? Is it in fact a touchpad issue or something else? Is it a hardware or software issue and is there a fix?

Tried ctrl alt shift b or whatever people said to reset GPU driver, tried different versions of drivers and tried reinstalling windows, all the same. The screen looks perfectly fine right up until the moment where Intel graphics driver gets installed and then this happens. When connecting to an external screen it looks and works fine both when duplicating the display and extending it.

I don't know, think I need to return the motherboard unless this is somehow an easy fix?

I'm wondering if it would be possible to re-adhere the screen to the assembly with 8mm tesa tape (or some other kind of adhesive). I would prefer to salvage the display assembly if I can, the cost of a new assembly is a bit prohibitive at the moment.

Immediately I turned it off and flipped it over, and let the poor thing drain for a week and a half before i thought about turning it on, but for some reason, the keyboard works... but it does this:

When I press the W key:

W2w2W2w2W2w2W2w2W2wW2w2W2w2W2w2

When I press the caps lock key:

2w2W2w2W2w2W2w2W2w2W2w2

Here is me pressing each key from left to right:

q1W2TR4TR4YU7YU7]I8O9ASDFGHJKL;'

ZXCVBNM./

'''

Here is when I press 1-10:'''

q1W2TR456YU7]I8O9

Sometimes when I press a key it uses another key, like if I press 7 it thinks I'm pressing F7, or if I press 2 it thinks I'm using the command ctrl+F

Basically, I want to know if this can be fixed or I need to consider a replacement keyboard. This has gone on for a couple months now, but I hate having to use an external USB keyboard :/

We have bought our second hand Dell XPS 17" L702X. When we bought it, we know there is a problem to start. The problem was you have to press the power button many times in order to start the laptop. Basically, we had to press the power button 20 times or so in order to start the laptop. Once the laptop is started, that's fine to use.

Now, this laptop simply doesn't start after pressing the power button 300 times or so.

Every time we press the power button, we hear one clicking sound which sounds like from the hard-drive. That's it and it never starts up.

What is the best option should I look into?

Thank you.
