New XPS 13 (9333) Constant Noise - relaunch

Why is Terry and @DellcarsPRO both saying that the XPS13 bought after september the 5th will be shipped with new motherboards that don't have the coil noise, and the practice say's otherwise?

As Dr.Phill used to say, one of you is telling the truth ;)

Received my XPS 13 today and the coil whine is there. Going straight back to Dell.

p.s. what about the 15 inch models, are they infected to?

Tell us if you succeed sending it back.

my understanding is that 15 inch is OK no

p.s. what about the 15 inch models, are they infected to?

Hi,

My Dell XPS 15 had the same issue. My mother board was replaced but that doesn't fix the problem. I am waiting for a second mb replacement but with no hope...

I am curious to know if the problem was solved for people who order an XPS now.

Edit: i am dealing with Dell France, don't know for other countries

Guessing there is no hope for this being fixed.  Man I used to like Dell might have to look elsewhere for laptops now then.  That's a shame.

I still like their monitors. But its over for them and laptops. They just outright lie about fixes for years. I had coil whine on my laptop from 2010. They have no excuse.

just had a mainboard swap.

- keyboard coil whine louder than before, noise frequency more homogeneous

- piezo-electrical cpu whine louder than before, noise frequency more homogeneous

Thanks for all the input people.  I was waiting to see if a XPS 13 dev edition would become available without the noise issue.  Given we have received no confirmation of that being the case, and only to the contrary I decided to give the macbook pro a chance by putting linux (ubuntu) on it.  

There is good documentation (for example search: ubuntu macbook 11,1) about the tweaks necessary and it's not actually that hard to follow.  The only thing that doesn't work is the builtin camera, everything else works like a champ.  I've got a super nice hi res. screen and battery life that can go for up to 7 hours.   I can't actually believe how well it's working, but thought I'd share it with you all in case somebody else is looking for an ultra portable with great screen, very good battery life and that runs linux.  And oh yeah, it is as quiet as a mouse.

Dear Community,

Thank you for your feedback and discussion.

I would ask that a few of you please add me as a friend and PM your case numbers. I will present the feedback to Dell engineering.

DellCaresPro,

Just replace the BIOS that will fix the problem.....sure we believe that...no one has tried that !!!!!

I can also confirm that the replacement motherboards provided by Dell do not resolve the coil whine issue with the XPS 9333.

Come on Dell, you guys can get this right
