I've updated it from the drivers from dell. And everything is gone(when I go to touchpad/mouse additional settings the synaptics options are all gone), and my touch pad is permanently on.(I use a mouse) And I can not delete the driver because I can not find it in device manager/program files.

Intermittent keyboard issue. On start up random keys will not work. If given 20 minutes or so, the keyboard works fine. I have used the Dell on-line diags and it seems to pass that test? Device Manage shows no issues. 

Inspiron 15Z Windows Reload Problem with SSD

0
0

I recently had to reload Windows on my Inspiron 15 5523. I am now running WIndows 10 on it but I cannot figure out how to configure the 32gb SSD to work with the 500gb SATA hard drive. I have installed the Intel software but it keeps saying the 32gb SSD is incompatible with the software.

What do I need to  set in the BIOS and how do I set up the drives so that the SSD will function as a cache as it was originally?

Thanks to all for any help they can give

I have a Dell Vostro V130 and purchased and installed a new battery.   Old battery died.

0% available, plugged in &charging.....tried all the following posted suggestions on this forum.

1. tried setting the MS ACPI 

2. discharged excess charging

3. reset to default BIOS

4. cannot update BIOS, because it is at 0% charge

Charging light is on and left it overnight, 10+ hours,  still no battery charge.

Appreciate any other recommendation.   Thank you.

Seems to be working OK for now but not for long? Dell Diagnostics telling me (2000-0142) to replace disk soonest. Would very much like to do a 100 percent backup before doing so to make things easier with the new disk. Does my PC (itself) have any back up tools?

Inspiron 13 7000 display resolution

0
0

Hi, I have an inspiron 7352, and I being an idiot, put it too close to a candle.... I know.... So now I am out shopping for a new LCD display. My question is, I see multiple display resolutions while searching on ebay, I thought that the only offered resolution for this computer was 1080 full ips, but Im seeing a 736 variant. Is this a typo on the seller's end? I doubt it as there are multiple sellers. I can adjust my resolution up to 1080 on the  display settings, this would be indicative that I do indeed have the 1080 variant correct?

I just don't want to mess up and buy the wrong display.....

any help would be greatly appreciated

THANKS!

XPS 15 L502X Keyboard

Hi

I need to replace the keyboard on my XPS 15 L502X, but I'm having trouble finding a replacement UK keyboard, as my existing keyboard isn't backlit, and all the replacements seem to be backlit.

Is it possible to use a backlit replacement keyboard even if there's no connection for it?  Or is this a bad idea?

BIOS update stuck A11 to A12

0

Hi all,

I have a recently purchased dell Inspiron 5555. It has been running very slowly and the dell website suggests updating the drivers. I used the online tool to detect out of date drivers and the BIOS was the only one found. It wasn't able to install automatically and asked me to install manually. So I tried to install and now I'm stuck. The progress was stuck at 21% for an hour and now has been stuck on 25% for 3 hours. I'm from Australia and currently in the US for a business trip and really stuck. Is there any way to get out of this mess? I cannot call tech support until Monday and don't know what to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dell 5548 with broken hinge like everyone else

0

I too spent ridiculous amount of time being transferred and put on hold until someone said the broken lid hinge is not covered under warranty.   The laptop sits on TV stand and is used as multimedia device to the TV.  All I do is open the lid, press the power button and close the lid.  I have a usb mouse and keyboard connected to navigate.  I even paid extended warranty in case of defects.  I truly believe that there is a flaw in design and there should be a fix to this.  If I don't get this repaired by dell, they may avoid my warranty.  This seems to be a loosing battle.

Dell XPS 13 2 in 1 9365 does not go to sleep

0
0

I did a clean install and windows automatically installed all the drivers. I does not go to sleep no matter I press the power button or click on sleep from the power options. The screen just turns off and when I touch the keyboard the screen instantly lights up again. The battery is consumed greatly during screen off and the computer gets hot if put in to a bag. Anyway, it just does not sleep.

Latitude E4300, Windows 10, Enable Touchpad Scrolling

0
0

I recently acquired a Dell Latitude E4300 with Windows 10 installed. The issue is, I want to enable touchpad scrolling but cannot find a driver that works with Windows 10. The latest one is for Windows 8.1 and it will not work. Are there any alternative drivers, or something I can do. This is a huge deficit from an otherwise great machine. Any reason why Dell is not making them and/or if they could (hint hint anyone out there working for dell, this is in high demand i imagine).

Precision 3510 2nd hard drive

0

Hi,

I've just ordered a Precision 3510 with an M.2 SSD and am looking for some storage upgrade advice for the future.

I'm led to believe that the M.2 SSD blocks part of the 2.5" drive bay so a 2.5" drive cannot be added.

My question is, could the 2.5" SATA cable, part number XDYGX

be used to connect to an M.2 SATA SSD via one of these adapters

or will it still be blocked by the existing M.2 drive?


Thanks in advance.
