My Hdd is locked on my Dell XT2 I have the password but I cant find where to put in the Password
Restart the computer and tap F2 key during POST to enter System Setup (BIOS). This should prompt for the Hard Drive (HDD) or BIOS password. Knowledge Base

This should help.


While the computer is powering up keep tapping f2.

Turn it off. Press the power button again and keep hitting f2.

Touch screen acts like it being touched without being touched
Might need a new touch screen. There\'s really no way around a faulty touchscreen, previous owner probably tapped it a lot

Dell Latitude XT2 sound doesnt work 1/2 of the time. Windows 7.
Download and install the drivers from manufacturer website. If you are unable to recognize the device specific drivers then i would suggest to use the driver scanning tool, it will search for the drivers online and will show a list of of device specific updated drivers.
You can download the driver scanner tool here:

Pen and touchscreen not responding on my Dell Latitude XT2 Tablet PC
Hmmm does the penn have a battery then? I guess something is wrong with the wiring as not just the pen does not work but touching all all not. Stuff should just simply work and not require loads of troubleshooting.

Cursor opening start menu and other applications by itself
Hi there, there are two possibilities here, one, the touch screen is compressed in 1 or more areas of the screen. two, it sounds like your PC has a prank virus in it that is causing unwanted side-effects. Try booting in safe mode on your tablet PC, and run a full virus scan.

How do I enable presentation mode on an XT2 tablet? I am in a meeting connecting a Dell Tablet XT2 to a Panasonic projector via vga cable and trying to use Fn8 to display the laptop screen. The setting...
You could be able to enable presentation mode by pressing the "settings" button on the bootom of your display, next to the power button and the "ctrl" and the rotate button. After you press that, your dell control point manager should pop up and then go to the tablet tab on the left and open it. after that, go to the display tab and you should see an option that allows you to turn your presentation mode on.

Dell Latitude XT2 fails to start up.
I know this is an old post, but the LED code for CAPS lock on, F4 flashing, F5 on means memory issue. I had this issue, reseated the memory, and the issue was resolved.

My pen for my computer won't work
I think the pen has gone bad on you, since your screen can still detect your hand and the track pad. I would think the pen is faulty. Try another pen cause I think your original is bad, if it was the touch feature that wasn't working I would say its a driver problem but that feature still works with the exception of the pen. Get another pen.
