Dell Latitude E5470 - fingerprint & headphone probs - help?

0
0

Fingerprint recognition on this laptop is really difficult to use. My old Vostro works quickly and easily, but it has never worked well on this machine.


I have to hold my finger down and press hard, sometimes it doesn't work at all.

I've tried deleting then reinstalling & updating the driver, which has no error message. Tried hardware scan also.

Is this a common problem with the E5470. With this type of fingerprint reader. Or is the hardware just faulty and in need of repair?

I also find that the headphone socket doesn't work sometimes, it doesn't recognise when a headphone is plugged in, and volume continues from the speakers.

Any help appreciated.


Dell Latitude E5480 MDT Deployment Fails

0

Hi All

New to the community so apologies if this is in the wrong place. My organisation uses Dell latitudes as there defacto std and we have been issuing E5470's with Win 7 Pro x64 with no real issues, however, have received the latest E5480 as our std device and are facing the problem below.

I use MDT (8443) and WinPE 10 for deploying images and cannot complete the deployment for the 5480 with the old message cannot connect to the deployment share missing NIC driver. I have the latest driver CAB file from Dell, I've tried injecting Win10 NIC drivers into WinPE, downloaded direct from Intel latest drivers etc....Same error

I've put a pause in the litetouch script in case it's the issue with faster ssd's etc all to no avail,was wondering if anyone can throw some ideas my way?

Kind Regards

Dell INSPIRON 17 5000 series keeps dropping internet even on Ethernet

Had a service center look at the issue and download new drivers, removed the spyware we were using (WEBROOT) and installed AVAST! - speeds (When it achieves connectivity) will not go above 60mbps - even in higher speed environments (at the service center they had closer to 200) WIFI is even slower @ 30 Mbps. Tech thinks it's a $500 doorstop. Opines???

Dell Inspiron 15 3565 Wireless Adaptor Missing.

0

Hello,

I recently purchased a Dell laptop with windows 10. Recently after a windows update I cannot connect to the Wifi at all. On further investigation the wireless adaptor is missing from network adaptors


I tried to download and install the drivers manually but it still did not show up.

I then tried checking if the Wireless adaptor was turned off in BIOS, but it does not even show up there.






I tried rolling back the Windows update and restoring my PC to when I first got it but still the Wifi icon does not show up.

Any Idea what could be wrong. The Dell Service Center is very far away from my location

Sticking space bar

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5000series,and, it's making me NUTS!

The spacebar isn't doing its job about 75% of the time.  Seems to be the right side as opposed to the left side.

I have checked for hair, dust, crumbs, faeries etc .. nothing ..

If I pry off that puppy, am I going to forever regret it ?

I do believe I am under warranty of some sort ..

Thanks for listening .. OH .. some times my 'E' like to go

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeas well!

How can you tell if the wireless adapter is turned on or off on a Dell E5470?

My old Dell laptop had a light that turned on and off when you clicked on the wireless button, but I don't see it on the E5470.

Please help.  Thanks,

Latitude E7450 non-functional USB boot menu

0
0

I have a problem booting from a USB 3.0 card reader on my Dell Latitude E7450 laptop.

A card reader in question is Kingston FCR-HS4 (idVendor=11b0, idProduct=6368), it has 4 scsi-type sub-devices for card slots.

BIOS doesn't identify the sub-devices making impossible to select a slot to boot using F12 boot menu on my laptop.

When I select a "USB Device" to boot (a card reader), it responds "Selected boot device failed. Press any key to reboot the system."

This behaviour is not OK having in fact my other Asus laptop with American Megatrends bios, that makes possible selection of a card slot to boot using same card reader, exactly as shown on this screenshot:

I seriously think that lack of such functionality for a business line laptop is not nice and this issue should be reconsidered.

My BIOS version is A16.

Latitude E7450 - can't change Intel ME password

0
0

I have bought a new Dell Latitude E7450 laptop and tried to access MEBx.

On the first launch it asks me a password (which is 'admin') and then forces me to change it.

When I enter a new password, I get an error telling "Error applying new password".

I am unable to change the password, thus can't access Intel ME settings on my laptop.

What should I do?

My bios version is A16.

XPS 13 9350 won't boot, screen black

The three little power lights come on (on the cord plug, on the I/O button, on the front bezel) but nothing else happens.  No heat, no screen, no bios options (F2, F12).  Battery indicator shows it has charge.    It only went off warranty coverage 4 months ago.   Do I have to buy a dock to see if it will boot on an external monitor?   Or is there another possible way to revive it?

Windows 10 image file is corrupt

I've been trying for 3 days to download the  Windows 10 iso file from the Support page.  When I try to run the program to make a bootable usb I get a message that the file is corrupt.  I need to do a clean install, although every test I've run says that everything is fine, my computer is still running like ***, Chrome won't load, and Office 16 has started having pop-up windows.  If I can't get a clean copy, then I'll buy a new copy of Win 10 and start over from scratch, but it would be really nice to have DELL original.

I have an Inspiron 7558

Thanks to anyone who can help me,

Aaron

XPS 15 Sleep - What Should I Expect?

0
0

I've just got a new XPS 15.  My daily system is (and will continue to be) a MacBook Pro.  The MacBook has sleep down pat.  Close it and then open it, even 3 days later, and you're exactly where you were when you left off.

With the XPS, sometimes it sleeps and I use the fingerprint reader to get back.  Sometimes it powers off and I have to power it up (and it usually, but not always) comes back to where it was.

What should I expect, and are there settings that I can update to make it more closely have the same experience as my MacBook?

TIA!
