dell 1558 studio15

Is anyone else having same problem as i'am ?Just go my laptop from dell 2days ago charged battery turned system on and in less than 30mins it shut down as if the power was disconnected,same thing happened same day but about 3hrs this time of use then it shut down again. Keeps doing this the dell tech unable to diagnois this problem

 

I just received my 1558 yesterday. I plugged in the adaptor and let it sit for a couple of hours - I received it at work and so couldnt look like I was playing with my new toy, hehe - before powering it up. A flier in the packaging DID mention connecting the AC to the battery for about 12 hours or so before running on battery alone.

But I haven't really kicked mine around much as of yet. I've had it on for several hours a couple of times, but I also had the lid closed engaging Sleep Mode.

 

My 6 cell battery lasts up to around 4 hours from a full charge. I followed the instructions though and had it hooked up to AC for a full 12 hours before using the battery alone. Maybe try doing the same thing?

 

Hello all,

I just ran into the same issue. Right out of the box, setting up windows, it shut down. Over the cuorse of a few days it shut down time and time again. Updating the BIOs didnt resolve the issue. System checks came up with no errors.

I contacted tech support and they dispatched a technician to replace the system motherboard and heatsink The technician came out about 2 days after the call and replaced the equipment as well as leaving me with 2 less gigs of ram! I called the tech and he told me dell sent him the wrong memory module and they should be sending me a replacement soon. This didnt sound right at all. On top of that, the system was still shutting down!

I decided to contact dell support to try and resolve the issue. The support reps swore up and down that this is not a known issue although these forums suggest otherwise. I opted for a replacement system which should arrive to me in 3 to 4 weeks. No expediting even though I've had a pretty rotten experience so far. I actually like the system when it works ( i have another studio 15 with a core i7 that works beautifully). Hopefully their replacement resolves the issue. For now I'm left with a unreliable system which means I'll have to do a lot of saving and a lot of saving often.

Ill update when I get the new system.

 

Hello guys, has any1 got Studio1558 with i7 processor and European Intel Wireless LAN 6300 3X3 (802.11 a/b/g/n) wifi card.

NB: My concern is Studio1558 doesn't support i7 processor.
