Dell Inspiron 7559

Sometimes you have to apply a bit of pressure for it to pop in. Do it very carefully at your own risk

 

I tried that for hours. That's why I feel so incredibly stupid. I would get one on then the other would pop off. Now I can't get either of them to stay on. I was as gentle as I could be removing the dang things.

 

I don't see anything wrong with the connectors though.

 

Try practicing on the spare card maybe

 

Ya those connectors are smaller than previous ones. I been a mechanic my whole life and struggled with those tiny connectors. Was very afraid of damaging them. Whstever you do DONT force them. Only use finger pressure. Once they are aligned correctly they should pop on. Thats the secret is getting them lined up. I actually installed them with the card out and then slid the card into the slot. Good luck.

 

I put it up for the night a few hours ago and will try again tomorrow. Hopefully things will pop into place.

 

I told Dell the wire on my Wifi card came off (I didn't dare say both) and got told that I must have dropped it because that doesn't happen normally. Then after I refuted that they told me it's normal wear and tear. This is the 3rd time I've tried to get them to repair something to be accused of abuse and then given the "wear and tear" excuse. I've never had so much trouble trying to get them to provide repair services. I also brought up the color issues on my screen because once I started using my older Dell laptop I purchased refurbished in 2013 from them I realized how bad the color is on my 7559. I have the touch screen with the higher resolution and every human with lighter skin has a orange/yellow tint to them. I've tried so many color settings and to make things look anywhere near decent things besides people like webpages looked washed out.

I wish I had just returned this thing when I had the service tag issues after purchasing. I purchased it from the Dell Outlet and they forgot to attach the service tag to my laptop before sending it out so I had to convince them I wasn't the previous owner. Why oh why did I not take that as a huge sign then?!?

This is the last reply I got from them trying to deal with their Social Media Team...

 

I find it really hard to believe that the antennas don't attach to the wireless card, that's just wild.

One theory is that perhaps your wireless card's antenna connectors are a little bent? The metal edges of the circles could have been deformed a little bit when you took the connectors off the first time which would prevent the the antennas from clicking back in.

I actually had this happen when I ordered an intel ac7260 for this notebook - I couldn't get the intel drivers to install and tried for an hour+ reinstalling drivers and swapping the card back in/out. Eventually I realized one of the antennas wasn't 'clicking' into place so I thought that's what the problem was (turns out I actually received an N-7260 in error, so my problem was actually driver related since AC drivers don't install on those old cards, but that's besides the point) - so I had to bend the circular edge of the antenna connector on the wifi card back into its circle shape. And once I did, the antenna snapped back onto the card.

It wasn't even noticeable that the circular connector was deformed until I took a very hard look at it from a lot of angles.

The point of this is just to say that the contacts on your card might have bent somehow and it might be worth examining closely. Even a slight bend could be responsible for your antennas falling out. Obviously YMMV, and be extremely careful when it comes to trying to bend contacts back into place.

OR, maybe your antenna connector is bent and you could check that too. This sounds more plausible since the antenna are falling out of both the new and old wifi cards, and if that's the case maybe you just need to bend the antenna connector walls inward a little bit so once you attach them to the card they stick on.

OR, maybe you didn't route the antenna wires through the plastic chassis the way Dell has routed them. What I mean by that is there's a tunnel that the antenna wires are supposed to be running through but if after you replaced your wifi card you just left the wires above the tunnel, then the wires are no longer on the same height level as the wifi card and instead of attaching to the card without any tension they are now lifting away, if that makes any sense. This might be a really simple thing but it seems like a possibility from your picture.

 

Hi! I have this laptop for like 9 months. From Yesterday I starter having some word Yellow spot around the screen. The screen it's a LGD04B9. Any ideas why?
Must say that when I turned on today, it seemed fine, but after some usage time it gotten again worse.

 

Would I benefit better from grabbing the Wireless-AC 8260 over the stock wifi card this laptop has? Bought my machine back in January of this year, over 9 months ago, and I'm contemplating on getting a stronger wifi card... since I can grab one for $23 from fleabay and with free shipping.

I didn't read much of this thread too, apologies if the question was asked and answered a billion times already. ^^; Assuming that's what's being talked about just above/before, this post. <.<

 

Hello. I have had an Inspiron 7559 since may and only recently I started noticing a strange "electric" sound coming from the bottom of the pc. It doesn't seem to be coming from the speakers but I may be mistaken. Here is the sound: https://soundcloud.com/user-244975050/ispiron-sound

and it's coming from here: http://imgur.com/a/yTdZU

I tried various versions of the Realtek drivers, native Windows drivers and even removing all drivers so that the spekers are unusable, but the sound is still there.

Any idea what the problem could be? Does your laptop make the same sound? I can only hear it in a quiet room while the hard drive isn't spinning.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_noise
Probably. If that's the case you're not going to get rid of it except maybe by slightly over/undervolting, or doing something else to avoid the specific situation when you're hearing the sound.

 

I have listened to coil whine examples on Youtube and my that noise seems quite different to me. Are there various "types" of noise coil whine could make? Does the one I uploaded to soundcloud sound like that?

 

hi buds. I registered just to help you... and clarify some things... and ask for some...

anyways.

(A) I want to start with your problem.

what you're experiencing is cpu whine. I bought this computer 2 months ago while I was abroad, ditched the sh.tty hdd, bought 750 evo instead and because there is no moving parts in there now, it screams. it's like horde of mad bees trying to send some message to the outer space. yes, it is that bad.

we bought 2 of these same time, one for my gf. hers not bad as mine, but still, it's there.

so, i unplugged the fans in my 2011 MacBook pro and listened closely. bam, it's there.

what i'm guessing is, every core mobile processor buzzes. at least to some extent, c states of the processor is the cause.

I tried everything, formatting it, using it with different combinations of drivers etc. but these are the only solutions that i could found;

1. learn to live with it, like i do. it's there, dell's warranty in Turkey is sh.t, so sending it back is not doable for me, power saver mode reduces this buzz to some extent.

2. there is a fix called "disabling processor idle". you have to change something in the regedit, then change power plan. voila, it's gone. but because your cpu can't idle now, it'll go to bacon frying mode. so, it's a solution, but i don't recommend it.

1. Execute: "regedit"
2 .Locate: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Power \ PowerSettings \ 54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b¬740d00 \ 5d76a2ca-e8c0-402f-a133-215849¬2d58ad
3. Change Attributes from 1 to 0.
4. Then, through the control panel - power - in the settings mode select power management processor. There will be an option disabling idle processor and high pitched noise immediately disappears. (thank to jesdanco from tomshardware)

3. send it back while it's under warranty but like i said before, every computer buzzes, you can be lucky, or not.

(B) ok, now it time to clarify other things;

screen is not that bad, come on guys! just calibrate it. it becomes more than adequate.

same goes with wifi card, it's bad, but I've seen worse.

(C) and lastly, now it's time to ask for things.

please, i'm begging you guys!

just unlock the goddamn vbios already. with 85 percent asic quality, this card screams, begs for more at +135/+600 (to be honest, +600 vram is sweet spot, I can go over 900, but it starts to artifact and since there is no heat spreader at vrams, I don't want to fry them). with these oc values, it sits at 60 degrees, it's like water-cooled for crying out loud! It needs to be overclocked, come on guys! do something, i'm begging you!

well, that was all of my load such a relief.

 

Thank you very much for the detailed answer! As you said, the disable processor idle "fix" works but increases temperatures by a lot, so it's not really viable. Also, during high load (for example when running OCCT CPU benchmark) the noise stops complete, so it's definitely related to cpu levels. I think I am going to contact Dell to see what they say, I've had the notebook since may and only recently started to notice the problem. I am from Italy and don't know how the warranty is here, maybe it's **** here as well and I would be waiting for months if I sent it back. Need to make up my mind on that. Real shame though, if it wasn't for that noise it would be completely silent.

 

I agree, if we had unlocked vbios for the 960m we could probably push clocks to obscene levels. It would be epic. There's a lot of demand for this but nobody seems to be working unlocking the vbios at present on the open internet. In this same forum thread someone tried flashing an unlocked vbios and ended up (temporarily?) bricking his laptop because of some secure boot/verify boot or whatever the hell b******t it is.

On mine the 960m core is maxed out to +135 and memory is sitting near +520 in afterburner. ASIC Quality is 69.7 though.

I would suggest not clamping the CPU to full tilt just to avoid the coil noise.
You could try undervolting or overvolting the CPU a little bit, that might be all you need to make the noise go away.
The theory is that by doing this we'll the frequency the voltage regulation hardware vibrates at, and hopefully bump the physical vibrations out of the audible range.

Just download & run 8.3 version of throttlestop here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-throttlestop-guide.531329/

Run the software, accept the warning, hit "FIVR" button on the main screen, then on the Turbo/FIVR control window that pops up just check the 'unlock adjustable voltage' for CPU Core, CPU Cache, Intel GPU, and System Agent.

Intel builds quite a bit of a safety margin for these chips so you can probably get away with just undervolting with an offset of -30mV on all of those (for reference I do -165mV, and some people just recommend trying -150 from the start), then hit apply and see if the noise is gone. (Added benefit of this is saving some power and lowering temps) Or maybe raise the voltage on all of these by 30 mV, though that will waste a little bit more power.

 

Use intel xtu to undervolt instead, it applies your settings at startup.

But it is not a solution to the buzzing. I've been using -200mW undervolt, it is cooler without any performance disadvantages. So do it but like I said, it still buzzes.

It's all about c states, if we can disable some of the lower c states, i think that'll fix it. It's locked for us though, so bios mod would be an advantage here too.

Oh, btw, bios v1.2.0 is out. I didn't see any difference but it's always nice to stay updated.

 

I tried various offsets for CPU Core, CPU Cache, Intel GPU and System Agent from -150mV to +150mV and while all of those were stable,(Analog I/O has to stay default right?) the noise wasn't reduced whatsoever. At least I will be saving a bit of power leaving everything at -150mV. Should I just give up and learn to live with the cpu whine? Nothing else I can try? Thank you for your answers

 

sometimes, not always, it has a tendency to go away with time. if you're lucky enough, it might disappear.

like I said before, I am an obsessive man, if I can live with it, I think everyone can.

doesn't power saver mode helps it? it does a bit for me.

 

I was planning to email dell about these two matters, they can fix vbios and buzzing with simple bios modifications.

I couldn't find an email address though.

 

No, it doesn't seem to help. While I am at it, does limiting max processor performance in Windows power settings help to increase battery time? I read that setting it to 99% disables Intel TurboBoost, and that should lead to lower temperatures and energy consumption. Does it make sense to reduce it to like 70-80%? And also, why is the minimum processor performance set to 5% by default? Should I set it to 0%?
Sorry for that many questions but it's my first notebook and the answersI found online are a bit controversial.

 

limiting it to 99 percent limits the cpu to go turbo mode. it will help to increase your battery life. going less than 99 doesn't make any sense though.

minimum is there when you need instant power. if you reduce it to 0, it might create weird performance problems.

 

For people who got Dell to replace the screen on their 7559's what did you tell them? After using my old laptop from 2012/13 I've really come to realize how yellow and not real the colors look on my 7559 and that fact is driving me crazy.

I didn't give up and they are finally supposed to be servicing my laptop.

There are a couple other things wrong besides the wifi card. If they fix that card issue though I'm never going to touch the damn thing again.

 

My 4k screen turn brighter when display some red items and darker when not displaying red items, which is an annoyance during scrolling. Is there any solution to this?

 

i found another solution for cpu/coil whine, it still worsens battery life by 20-30 percent but it's million times better than the other one.

first off all, start cmd with admin rights. and enter these codes.

powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR 06cadf0e-64ed-448a-8927-ce7bf90eb35d -ATTRIB_HIDE
powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR 12a0ab44-fe28-4fa9-b3bd-4b64f44960a6 -ATTRIB_HIDE
powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR 40fbefc7-2e9d-4d25-a185-0cfd8574bac6 -ATTRIB_HIDE
powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR 4b92d758-5a24-4851-a470-815d78aee119 -ATTRIB_HIDE
powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR 7b224883-b3cc-4d79-819f-8374152cbe7c -ATTRIB_HIDE
powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR 943c8cb6-6f93-4227-ad87-e9a3feec08d1 -ATTRIB_HIDE

these will open some secret tabs under your processor power management tab (just like the other solution)

now change them to,

Proc. performance increase threshold = 30%
proc. perf. decrease threshold = 85%
Proc. perf. decrease policy = Ideal
Proc. idle demote threshold = 85%
Proc. idle promote threshold = 100%
Minimum processor state = 0%
Proc. performance core parking overutilization Threshold = 95%
System cooling policy (no change) = 'active'
Maximum processor state (no change) = 100%

whine should go away.

i'm using like this since 2 days without single problem. and zero whine, thanks to god.

 

How did you calibrate yours?

 

using windows color calibration tool.

 

come on man! help us, you got the hardware to unbrick your laptop. just try it again while bootguard is disabled and let's overclock the sh.t out of this beast. i don't even have a valid warranty where i live, so there is no way i can try it, if i could though, believe me i would do it.

i even e-mailed dell, i know they won't help but that's all i can do.

 

Allright guys, I've finally got my i7559 and this highly recommended Samsung HL01-102 panel. When I plug it in, it starts to flicker. I've tried to uninstall monitor drivers and and HD530 and make windows search it again, but nothing works, it is still damn flickering. Do you know what might be the problem? Double checked if the contacts are misalligned, but everything looks fine. When I put back dimm BOE screen back all is fine again...

 

Hi I bought this ntb and I have model with LG panel. Is it good monitor? Because I think that my 5 yeas old TN monitor has better colors than this. Does anyone has calibration profile for this panel please? The red/orange/pink colors are very low saturated.

Here is comparation with my old TN panel:
http://imgur.com/wK4aXeI

 

Hey did you find any remedy for this?
I just received mine, a bit off and like it but this hissing sound is killing me.... its exactly like yours on the samples

 

Dude its so annoying i have it too, thinking to just sending the laptop back for a full refund.. Or did you figure out a solution?

 

Is here someone with LG156WF6 IPS panel? I need some calibration ICM profile, I tried to apply some profiles from Acer V15 Nitro (it has LG156WF6) and it was worse.

 

Got my laptop back yesterday from the depot and now when I unplug my adapter the sound really slows down for a few seconds and this weird sound occurs. Trying to Google to see what's going on with that but not getting much when it comes to results about that particular issue.

 

Yep. Have the same problem. Only happens when the battery is full and AC cord is still attached. Wrote about it here before and dell forums.


It is a motherboard design flaw by dell that also plagued 2015 XPS series . Dell did acknowledge this for the XPS and redesigned the motherboard of some models. They never acknowledged it for 7559 IIRC so we are out of luck. Best thing we can do is request a motherboard repair and pray to get a less 'whiny' one.

 

Hi, you can look at my thread about dell 7559.

How to unlock 135Mhz OC limit?

 

Hey guys, I got this laptop for 708e off. It has 6700hq, 8gb single ddr3l, 960m, 1tb hdd, the LG panel. I do hear the hissing from the speakers as well as the whine from the cpu... Now I'm not sure if I should keep it or not... Normally the same config costs 930e here.
Any suggestions?

 

Hi, i have a question, if i have the dell with the 128gb ssd and 1tb hdd, and i want to replace the 128gb ssd to 500gb ssd, can i do that?

 

Yes why not? Its in M2 slot.

I tried to undervolt my i7 6700HQ and its awesome. -150mV fully stable, I am testing -200mV now. It means -20°C. Any ideas how to unlock 135MHz limit GTX 960? Its 88% asic and I want to use it full potencial.

 

How to unlock multipliers? I have 200mV reserve to make same overclock.

 

what do i need, how i do it and how difficult is to undervolt the cpu ?

 

You need to download XTU (Intel extreme tuning utility).
advanced tunning -> core -> "Core voltage offset" Use method step by step. Try -50mV, than -70, 90.... And test it. I tested it in Prime 95 and OCCT for 6h.

 

Thanks !!!

 

1,Is here someon who has icc profile for LG display? Because the colors are very low saturated especially red.

2,
How to past 135Mhz overclock limit on GTX 960M?

3, How does this laptop behave if cpu temperetarues are too high? Because on 94°C still full turbo clocks. (Before undervolt)

4, How to set to playing on battery with full performance? Because it freezs and laggs. Power mode with full performance.

 

The cursor on this laptop is very ugly and does not feature anti aliasing. The loading circle cursor icon (when things are loading) is very jagged and sharp. How do I fix this issue?

 

I would like ICC too for the 1080p matte screen since my colors are very weird.

Or if someone has better color than default, can you share your settings in Windows color calibration + Intel Control Panel?

 

Intel driver:
Saturation +9
Gamma +0,1

Windows calibration 3 steps of green backwars.

"I would like ICC too for the 1080p matte screen since my colors are very weird."
Maybe I can arrange ICC profile from some photographer but is not cheap.

 

Thank you. Will try this later.
I also had Gamma up a bit in Windows calibration to remove the dot. It was a bit brighter than before. Will try this + what you wrote and see.

What I had is a bit too much compared to you lol. I added a lot of blue brightness and removed a lot of red and green brightness to have better white balance, but I think it was just too much.

I also saw that top left of the screen is brighter than bottom right. I think it's normal, but weird idea from Dell.

But I never really installed ICC on my old laptop. So how does it work?
Do I need to put everything back at default because installing the ICC?

 

Guide how to use icc:

Some profiles, which I tried.

Your calibration is for LG156WF6, but the 7559 has the NV156FHM right?
