Dell XPS 17 L702X: Keyboard works after spill, but types different?

Sun, 03 Feb 2019 05:25:51 -0700

Okay so a few months ago I was folding laundry when I heard a huge thud from my room, I come to check it out and my poor cat knocked a tin of turpentine off my shelf and onto my desk, it splattered everywhere and fortunately that wasn't the cause of the issue, it was me cleaning the laptop and accidentally sprayed directly on the keyboard and all that jazz, noticed that the foam seeped in.

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 :/

Dell XPS 17 L702X: Laptop doesn't start after pressing the power button

Thu, 19 Jul 2018 04:27:29 -0700

Hi All,

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.

Dennis

Dell XPS 17 L702X: Broken power jack harness.

Sat, 26 May 2018 08:06:26 -0700

The plastic setting where the power jack lays is broken. So whenever I plug in the adapter the jack is pushed back/to the side and out of reach of the adaptor.

Any recommendations? Tried to glue it but won’t stay, l can provide pics if that will help
