Hi:
This error code refers to "The TV-Out port of your display card is not working properly". Often you need to go to the website of your VGA card manufacturer and download the latest driver for your card.

There have been other people who fixed the problem by rolling back to the previous version of PowerDVD too.

Hi,

Thank U

Please rate my solution as it wil cost u just one click

Download and install latest adobe flash player 10.0. Its going to play

nice to know...

That's a known issue with the Studio laptop. I have the same laptop (almost the same- 15.4) and I experience the same difficulties a lot. Dell has some issues with their DVD drives.

The most affective solution I've found was to restart the computer, and click Fn+eject (it's the F10 button if I'm not mistaken)

That's the least intrusive solution I know

Hi,

If you are using Internet Explorer then follow the instruction bellow to rectify it.

Open Internet Explorer and click on the Tools tab on the top right hand side, then click on Internet options.
In the general tab you see what your home page should be. Highlight the web address and then type in http://www.msn.com. Click on Apply and then OK.

To see if it's worked all you have to do click on the home button at the top.

replace drive

This is usually a sign that the cd drive has failed..

The only other things it could be are, something has lodged itself inside the cd tray.

Or the lens has become extremely dirty.

You could try running a lens cleaning disk through the drive, after blowing it out with a can of compressed air, and it may help..

but more then likely its just a bad disk.

The studio is a nice looking computer. having said that, I hate the audio/media buttons. Its likely you have to call dell for service to get that panel replaced.

when you boot the computer press F2 to get into bios. Once you are in BIOS it will display the Express service code and the Service Tag of your computer.

Hope this solution is helpful to you.

Thank you for choosing Fixya

try to eject it through emergency eject hole. if it works try to open with in windows and if it works you need to delete upper filter and lower filter from registry but before doing that take the backup of registry or it may crash your sys.

either get a usb wireless keyboard or order a replacement for your model on ebay.

Go through the dell support site to update the wlan drivers and also the bios update and things should be just fine .

try to click on the power button lightly to see if it's in a sleep mode. if not, try to press on the power button for a long time, until you don't hear the laptop works

if it does not want to install what then the message? try to check if it is resctricted.

usually laptops have software that they can use to operate their webcam to capture video and pictures, if you use that software it turns on your cam, if you use yahoo messenger you can go to messenger>my webcam and it activates your webcam

Uninstall it and reinstall it with the disk. If you do not have the disk. Search for the software/set-up online.

Hope this help you out! :)

to clean the screen use a non static wipe and the keyboard can be cleaned with a cloth or compressed air**. james
