Dell Inspiron 7559

This happened to me the second day I got the laptop, but hasn't happened since I flashed the bios.

Or I may have downloaded a new intel display driver. One of those.

 

The display driver stopped issue only happens when i use Microsoft Edge browser which i find a clunking mess on this laptop so i stick to my usual Chrome which is buttery.

 

Thank you very much, I will try it.

 

I will look into both. I think I updated all the drivers and I flashed the bios already. thx

 

Does anyone know which drivers I would use for the mouse-pad on windows 7? This is where I've been looking http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/KEYBOARD-and-MOUSE/Elantech/ and it doesn't have any. The issue I've noticed is that even the slightest touch on the mouse pad registers as a click or movement, and I can rub the my whole palm over it and it move the mouse; unlike windows 10, where it doesn't register any movement.

 

I tried every driver i could find and i mean everyone and nothing worked for the touchpad under Windows 7.

The most i could do is get the touchpad disabled but no features like palm rejection etc would work even after enabling them in the touchpad properties.

 

Just wanted to say thanks, I tried this one and it does seem to make the colors better!

 

Firefox seems to have issues on mine. Keeps freezing up when you're doing certain graphics-intensive things with it. Don't have that issue with Chrome.

 

For people using Windows 10, there is a very useful setting that just disables the touchpad whenever a mouse is connected. It's in start/settings/devices/mouse and touchpad and turn the "leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected" switch to the off position.

 

Maybe try this one: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=12NG7

I'm glad i could help

 

Check out this review.

 

Usually how many percents of discount that Dell will give to student?

 

For all who are having wifi issues..check dis video at 7.15

 

I usually won't click video links in forums because they are almost always just efforts to build the view count but since I already posted the simple solution to the WiFi issues I was curious to see if there was anything new here. -- Not so much.

First, the wifi issues aren't mentioned until the very end of the video.
Second, updating the WiFi drivers (or firmware or both) could have been summarized in the post so you don't need to sit through an 8 minute review to get to the wifi portion of the video.

 

For what it's worth, I've had the machine for over a week now and I have had NO wifi issues or problems with the graphics driver crashing. I did apply all Windows updates and update the drivers as soon as I took it out of the box. Also I use Firefox for a browser (not Edge).

 

just google media creation tool to download the windows 10 ISO
but off course, either you need a Windows 10 key or upgrade from windows 7 / 8 / 8.1

 

If the price is below rm 3k 3%
Above 3k its 5%

 

I just thought it would help..I mentioned d fix is shown at 7 mins 15 secs in Ma post..

 

thanks

 

is there any software to check NTSC and sRGB of screen ??

 

On the computer that has the 128 SSD and 1TB HD, which drive is the operating system loaded on?
Also what type of SSD will fit where the standard 1TB drive is located?

 

Ah I c I didn't catch that 7.15

Interesting enough most ppl here don't seem to have the initial problems I had with the wifi. I found a bunch of posts elsewhere before just updating the drivers (which fixed everything). I eventually replaced the card with a 2x2 card before selling the system and moving to an AW 15 over the holiday weekend. Hope you enjoy your system.

 

I have the same model and can confirm the OS is on the 128gb ssd but the drive itself only has 106 available of the 128 and the 1TB has 931gb available.

 

I've had the 7559 128gb ssd model for 3 days now and everything is as expected but when going to can I run it it says for most games like (black ops 3, fallout 4, and batman arkham knight, etc) it says I can't run it because min. req. is i5 and gtx 660 2gb. My 7559 has better specs at least from what i can see so why is it saying i can't run it? Thanks!

 

I wish they did a 256GB or larger SSD, I would like to upgrade that or should i just swap out the 1TB to a SSD, and then what type of SSD would I need to do that?

 

the Samsung 850 pro 512gb is on amazon for $211 by the reviews on there and some on here it seems like the best choice right now. and yea dell doesn't upgrade but you can get a samsung evo 500gb m.2 ssd for $177 which is the best i seen

 

I use also the Samsung 850 evo 500gb m.2 ssd and the 1tb Samsung 850 pro instead of the normal
128 gb m.2 ssd and the 1tb hdd.

 

Does any one have a custom ICC color profile for the 4k UHD display model?

I have the 4k model but the colors are too warm, too saturated. The blues, too purple.

I tried my hand at manually adjusting some settings, however, unable to improve things much.


Thanks,
Jp

 

I'd like to order the 999$ version but I'm a bit worried about the display quality. I will basically use the laptop for 3d modeling, renders, photoshop, photography and so on, which means that the display is definitely relevant. Is the 4K display better? And isn't it too much for a 15"?

I am also considering the new Asus N552 but seems that won't te available before January.

 

better to look at PE series from MSI

 

Is the keyboard flex really that bad in this model?

 

My keyboard really has no flex at all.

 

My laptop had some serious lag in most animations, scrolling, changing program, task view ext. It it just me or is there a fix?

 

i has such issue too but its due to when mine after going to sleep , so that i always do restart and i dont experience this annoying bug and i think its due to intel GPU, wait for new driver from intel

 

Mine was lagging and glitching until I updated the Bios and wifi driver. It's been fine (so far) since doing that.

I also was getting some audio skipping but I found that went away when I closed a certain program I had running.

 

which of the following m.2 ssd is the best to apply for dell 7559?
1.SanDisk X300 M.2 2280 256GB SSD SATA 6Gb/s
2.ADATA SSD mSATA PREMIER PRO SP900 M.2 2280 256GB
3.TRANSCEND MTS800 256GB M.2 SSD
4.SAMSUNG EVO 850 evo 2280 250GB

 

No flex? Unlike this?

 

So, I've got a weird situation on my hands. Back on 14 Oct I ordered the high end 7559 with the UHD 4K touch screen, M2SSD, I7, etc. Delay after delay and crappy customer service, finally get an email 17 November that laptop will not be available until 28 December and unless I contact Dell, the order will be cancelled. Well, I'd been trying to contact Dell for over a month with little success, so Eff them, go ahead and cancel the order.

Same day, got on line and ordered non-touch FHD screen I7 machine with 8 gigs ram and figured I'd do the upgrades everyone else would do anyway. Machine would be available in a week or so. Great.

Went back East to visit my daughter and new Grandson. Get alert from Dell and FedEx that a delivery was inbound and it was the most recent order and five days earlier than expected.

Then, a week later, another alert from Dell and FedEx and the order number looked suspiciously familiar. Yep. It was the original order that was supposed to have been cancelled.

So now I have two machines. And they both have the brilliant LG screens! I suppose I can send one back to Dell, or I could sell it to some poor desperate soul that got stuck with a BOE or lesser quality screen.

Thoughts?

 

Now that you have both in front of u can u comment on the differences based on the :
1.screen flicker issue.
2.brightness
3.sharpness and overall look n feel.
4. Also how do the whites compare and how to d blacks compare.
5. Battery life.

 

Anyone else having the camera app crash right after opening? It's the stock Windows 10 camera app and if so how did you fix it.

Thanks!

 

I don't have any flex at all.

I just got this laptop (the UHD version) and I have to hand it to Dell, overall I am impressed.

The UHD screen is a really high quality LG IPS panel (at least to my naked eye) and the colors are awesome on this this. The pixel density is insane (maximum zoom on Adobe Reader DC yields super-clear text). I have no/minimal back light bleed and I ordered the gray version, which looks awesome without the red Dell logo or red accents around the trackpad. The touch functionality is really responsive and hugely benefits from having more reference points (pixels).

I also like the solid feel of the rubberized plastic, although it is a (gradual) fingerprint magnet. The keyboard is 'soft' tactile-wise and the back lit keyboard is great with two brightness options. The trackpad is worse than my last laptop, which is disappointing for a 2015 product but I'll (try to) adjust.

I immediately replaced the 1 TB SSHD with a 240 GB SanDisk Extreme Pro (and did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro) and the system is extremely snappy with the i7 6700HQ. I did have to configure some programs to bypass the integrated graphics for a smoother experience. I also had to manually download all of my Intel and Nvidia drivers as many of the drivers on Dell's download page are outdated (this is probably why I haven't had any wifi issues). I plan on adding another Hynix 8 GB stick of DDR3L ram at a later date (just removing one screw to upgrade/replace some parts is a huge plus).

I came from a lacking ~3 year old Acer with a A10-4600 so believe me when I say this laptop is a huge leap on all fronts over my last one.

 

could you send a picture of your grey version? Is it metal or plastic? I really want to know how the grey looks like

 

I'm thinking of ordering from amazon, did you get the LG display or the BOE?

 

i ordered from amazon and its LG with very brightness

 

You're lucky. Mine seems its a few years old & has gone soft.

I got the 4K version.

Out of the box, the laptop had so many issues on the system freezing for a couple of seconds, blue screens etc. that I even sent in a complaint to the retailer asking them to consider it as a DOA case.

However, after updating the drivers, it seems rock solid now.

Still getting used t the high resolution screen, not all apps can handle the 250% scaling, so some look very tiny.

Tried the QuickGamma app to work around the very warm screen tone. Still a work in progrees.

Added a 512 GB Transcend M800 M.2 Sata & cloned the hard drive to it. Removed the SSHD for safekeeping since the recover ability is broken from the SSD after cloning to a smaller drive. Maybe I'll try to rectify it in the future.

Added a spare 4GB DDR3L RAM slot, taking the total to 12. However, it still seems to work in dual-channel mode, maybe only the first 8GB, & not for the last 4GB, but haven't been using that much RAM so can't confirm.

Coming from a 13" Lenovo U310 Touch, it looks like a big jump, in more ways than one.

Hello, first time posting here, sorry if this is off topic, but I am stuck and would appreciate some feedback if possible. I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate on a i7559-763BLK. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the only way to install Win7 is by USB. This laptop only has usb 3.0 slots, and windows 7 installation does not have native usb 3.0 drivers.

Options I have tried:
Disabling usb 3.0 functionality (Enabling USB Debug in BIOS)
Using 2.0 and 3.0 USB sticks (I don't think this matters, as the issues is with the USB 3.0 port, not the stick I'm using)
Injecting Intel eXtensible USB 3.0 drivers into the BOOT and INSTALL WIM files manually (Followed the guide here: http://codeabitwiser.com/2014/03/how-to-install-windows-7-with-only-usb-3-0-ports/)
Injected intel USB 3.0 drivers automatically with this tool ( https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25476/Windows-7-USB-3-0-Creator-Utility)
Tried to install Windows 7 by starting the installation from Windows 10 desktop (I get an installation error, no details)
I even found the USB .INF drivers that Windows 10 is using on this machine and injected those...didn't work either

Nothing works. I can get Windows 7 installation to boot everytime, but I keep getting the "Need CD/DVD drivers to continue installation error). In Windows 10 device manager, its showing my USB devices to use the "Intel eXtensible USB 3.0 driver", so I'm pretty sure that is the correct driver to be injecting.

If I can't get the Windows 7 installation to work, I think my only other option would be to pull the m.2 SSD, put it in my desktop, install win7 there, and then put it back into the laptop. I've done this before, and it works fine. I would have done it already, but I'd need to get an m.2 to pci-e adapter.

If anyone had any other ideas or suggestions on how to get the USB 3.0 ports to work for a windows 7 install, I'm all ears.

Thank you

 

I am considering finally to get the asus gl752vw

http://www.excaliberpc.com/636913/asus-gl752vw-dh71-17.3-full-hd.html

same proccesor, same graphic card but 2GB dedicated ram (I've been reading it's a fact that the gtx960m can't get fully use of that 4gb dell offers), 17 inch screen and metallic materials for just the same price. Also has this M.2 bay.

 

It is now possible to download the hosted system image in product support.

Best regards

I would not recommend this laptop with the FHD display for that kind of graphical work. Look up the specs of the display panel (you can find it in my review). 200 nits, 45% NTSC, 50% sRGB. Complete and utter garbage for any kind of video/photo editing work.

4GB of VRAM is mostly wasted on the 960M, since the card isn't powerful enough to run games at resolutions/settings high enough that would actually start to benefit from that much RAM. To give you an idea, the desktop GTX 980 comes with 4GB of VRAM.

 

I'd probably go for the ADATA or SAMSUNG.
