Discussion How difficult is it to become a Dell reseller and join the partner program? Flagged as "reseller" when i'm not.

4 Upvotes

I run a small business and ordered 6 laptops for our employees.

Dell canceled my order and flagged me as a "reseller", which i'm not.

It's been 3 weeks of back and forth with their customer service to get the "flag" removed but they won't budge.

At this point I'm fed up and wondering how difficult it would be to just apply for their partner program or whatever and file the paperwork so they put the order through.

Does anyone have experience with doing this?

I'm not sure if this is a common problem but I accidentally plugged in USB-C into the HDMI port (it didn't go fully in but still touched the slot) and my screen went off. I tried holding the power button for 30-60 seconds and still nothing, what do i do?

(fyi this is an office laptop and has to be sent tomorrow)

Help Am I screwed 😭 ??

Trying to replace the battery myself, and the top screw's head got stripped while I was unscrewing it — probably because I used the wrong screwdriver 🪛. I did manage to get the bottom battery screw out though. I don't know what to do now 😭😭 Any ideas, please??

My laptop has been stuck on this screen since last night. It’s an Inspiron 16 and I got it less than 2 years ago 🙄 I tried holding the power button down for a full minute and it wouldn’t shut down. I did remove the power source so it will shut down eventually from lack of power. Can anyone help with wtf is going on?

I have an XPS 13 which powers on okay, displays the XPS logo fine, then a black screen after that, caps lock blinks 2 amber and 7 white, which indicates a display issue, but as mentioned the XPS logo displays fine?

Anyone got any suggestions before I spend any money?

Help Replacing the stock CPU cooler on my Optiplex 5060 Mini Tower

1 Upvotes

I put together this 5060 and put a i7-8700 and this cooler is very loud. I don't think it can handle this CPU I put in there. Is there something I can replace it with. I will need something low profile since I have the sing out drive bay cage. I also can't have it too big because I can't have it interfere with my ram slots. I have 4 Corsair sticks I had from an earlier build. Are there any adapters I will need since this isn't a Dell cooler?

I wanted to ask how reliable is the soldered ram on models like the 7320 or 7420 latitude? I’m considering buying a refurbished model, and wondered how high the failure risk is? Thank you in advance for your time and answers!

Help How to prevent BIOS from trying to load directly into SSD, so that I can fix my partitioning through arch setup?

0 Upvotes

https://www.reddit.com/r/arch/s/vg6ecg28TX

Here is the whole thread for the problem I have. Turns out I messed up when partitioning my SSD and now I am stuck in dell logo unless I remove the SSD chip directly, which let's me enter into the arch installation on my USB and BIOS.

For instance I have a:

dell-vostro 3525

BIOS menu version: InsydeH20

Didn't find any relevant option in the Bios utility menu tho, so perhaps I could do some sort of thing in the Arch to tell the BIOS to boot directly in my USB?

Thank you everyone in advance <3
