Dell XPS A2010 Plays a Good Game


The Customer reported not being able to use the cd drive on this all in one desktop. This usually doesn't present a problem since Windows can be loaded and installed on a USB flash drive. The program I use is 'Win to Flash' and takes about 10- 15 min to transfer from disk to USB. Unfortunately this a2010 Dell XPS does not have an available option in the BIOS to Boot from any kind of external device. The options are- hard drive, disk, or network. There is way to load the OS on the hard disk and install from there, I just haven't need to learn it yet. I decided to open the back and bypass the cd drive myself. This model looks impenetrable without a trace of a screw until you take a real good look underneath the screen. There's a screw on both sides that's completely camouflage.  With those 2 out the back cover slides up.

The computer was brought to me over a blue screen error. Most times reinstalling the OS corrects the problem. My problem was the installing kept hanging before displaying the available drives to choose from. Realizing this was probably a hardware issue, I connected to a new HD and still I'm still hanging. Bad RAM?? I pulled one of the two chips and BINGO! --it finally begins the installation. Out of curiosity I opened the customers disk drive to see why disks kept being spit back at me and JACK POT!  Apparently their kid fed a poker chip into the disk slot. On the customer's return I told the kid "You play and good game, next time keep your chips on the table."

Dell computers are reliable machines I think. I have one and I have been using for almost 5 years. Though I am a tech pro, I sometimes have to face terrible problems. Not necessarily that I am complaining because I fixed most of the problems on my own. But I would like to add that sometimes Dell computer problems can be tricky to solve. I am suggesting to restore Dell computer to an earlier time if all else fails to work out. It is the easiest method of undoing any changes that may have impacted Dell computer's performance.Find here,how to Restore Dell Computer Drivers.

Dell Support said...

Well, you need to change the setting under the BIOS or CMOS of your Dell laptop.
Open the BIOS, goto the advance section, under the advance there is a SATA mode, set it to IDE and now you are able to install any Windows OS.

I have 2 nephews that are always getting into things that they shouldn't. They are always attracted to the most expensive things unfortunately. One of them actually put a tortilla covered in peanut butter into the CD drive. I thought it was beyond fixing but computer repair has come a long way and I was impressed with the end result. http://www.comhelp.us

I don't think I have ever put a poker chip into my computer before but I think if I did I would blow it up. My computer has been acting slow on me the last few days. I think I should take it in for some computer repair soon. The other day I got the blue screened which can only lead to worse things http://www.microagesolutions.net/

Unknown said...

That's too bad to hear about getting the blue screen, Joey. I hope that you're able to get your computer repaired. These days if your computer is more than a couple of years old, it's usually best to just buy a new one. It all really depends on the brand though. http://www.iFixPC.com

Luigi Boschin said...

As your Dell laptop's operating system (OS) ages, its overall performance generally decreases. Over time, computer navigation becomes slower to respond and programs take longer to launch. This is due to the amount of software installed, as well as the type of programs previously and currently loaded. Simple ways to increase your Dell laptop's speed may keep you from having to upgrade your system. Detroit Computer Repair

Unknown said...

I have been having some problems with my computer. The CD drive is not working. So I am researching to see if there is anything I can do in order to fix it or if I am going to have to take it to someone to get it fixed. This blog was really helpful I am excited to try it out to see if it works. http://ifixny.com

I had a Dell computer for quite a long time and it lasted very long and did a great job for me throughout it’s “life”. There was some PC repair that had to be done on occasion, but most computers run into a problem every now and then. For someone who needs an affordable, quality computer I’d recommend them!
