Hello,
I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 PRO.
While the other Quickset buttons on my 17RSE 7720 ( Wave Maxx and quick functionality) are working fine, the settings button does not seem to be working.
I got the latest Quickset driver from the Dell site and installed it, but that doesn't seem to have solved the problem.
Is this a known issue, or is there something else I need to do to resolve the problem. Kindly advise.
Thank you.
Hi, I'm here because I have a problem with the network driver that is that every time that I use the laptop, the laptops change the connection to limited and the internet simply doesn't work, when I go to network and sharing centel and then to network troubleshooter, it fixes the problem but the problem go back again maybe one hour later, 30 minutes or up to just 10 seconds (I used a cronometer) and that's a big problem because I play online games and I can' t play well disconnecting every minute, I tried several solutions such as uncheck the power plan, change some driver settings but that worked for several days and then the errors comes back and the solutions didn't work again. If you want information about de laptop just search it on google (dell inspiron 15r special edition 5520) and you'll find all the specifications, just ask me for things about MY laptop, no the serie itself. (I have windows 8.1)
Hi Friends,
I have a DELL inspiron 15 (N5010) laptop. Few days back I set BIOS password. Unexpectedly I forgot the password. While going to BIOS, my laptop is asking for password. I tried many times but unable to enter correct password. Can any one please tell me how to proceed further for resetting the password?
Thanks in advance...
I am considering the Dell XPS 18 tablet and currently work off a laptop (Dell, of course) connected via display port to a Dell U2412M monitor. Due to portability reasons, the XPS 18 seems what I am after, however, when I'm in the office, I would like to work off the 24 inch monitor.
I note the XPS 18 does not have HDMI or display port.
Therefore, does anyone have any ideas on any workaround for linking the two devices up?
Many thanks.
I've purchased Dell N 3521 laptop, By default Ubuntu was installed in it. i replaced it with Windows 7 - 64 bit. During wifi driver installation a popup msg says "Turn Bluetooth Switch On or Cancel Installation" after turning bluetooth on nothing is happening. I also installed Windows 8 but same issue didn't resolved. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
I have search all over the Dell support site. I'm sure it's hidden in there somewhere, but I can't find it.
Thanks,
Bill
Hi,
I have a Inspiron 15 7000 series - 7537 Laptop which I recently (approx 2 months ago) bought from US.
It is running Windows 8.
I am in India now. The laptop used to work fine but suddenly I started facing issues. The laptop would freeze for no reason. It would just stop working.
So I ran a diagnostic from boot screen and got the attached message.
I googled online on this error and it seems to be a fata HDD error/warning.
The laptop works sometimes, but the performance is terrible.
Can you please suggest what to do?
Please reply at the earliest.
Thanks!~

Just bought a new Inspiron 15 laptop. Microsoft office 2010 is already installed on it but when I attempt to open it it asked for product key. No discs, cards ect with product key info for any software came with the laptop. How do I find out the product key? Thanks.
I have a Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520. I am having troubles with my multi-touch pad. It isn't scrolling or the gestures are not working either. I have uninstalled and re-installed my dell touch pad driver and saw no result. Now my dell touch-pad program will not even open. If anyone has any suggestions or fixes that would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I have a Dell Inspiron n5050 service tag <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>when i plug in the AC adapter, touchpad stops working normally , i have done all the things updated BIOS, driver and flea the power,run the diagnostic but it couldn't solve the problem accept i didn't check with other AC adapter. And my Ac adapter is 65 watt and in dell accessories they mention that 90 watt and 65 watt adapter is suported by n 5050 is it ok to check both 90 and 65 watt adapter and if any one know to how make touchpad works normally while charging please let me tell.
Apologies if there is a more appropriate location for this post, but I have done hours of searching for this particular problem and cannot find it anywhere. There was one post with the same problem from several years ago, but it was never resolved.
My setup: latitude xt2, windows 7 professional x64, 5GB ram, Samsung SSD 128 GB
Problem: during boot, just after POST isystem hangs for about 50 seconds before the Windows 7 splash screen. No other performance issues identified.
Attempted solutions: (1) updating device drivers = no change, however some intel XT2 drivers fail to install (specifically, Intel AMT SOL/LMS & Intel AMT HECI -- it says my computer does not meet the minimum requirements despite having .NET framework latest version installed; more on this later) (2) defaulting BIOS = no change (3) changing SATA operation mode; IRRT (default), AHCI, and ATA all result in no change to reported problem. (4) using another XT2's backup file from drivermax, I tried a recovery = no change and several drivers unable to install (unknown which ones) (5) and some other more obvious solutions like changing the boot order. I did find something interesting regarding boot order though; I changed the ONLY boot device to the CD/DVD drive and it still did the 50 second hang before it even attempted to power up the CD drive
Additional notes: when I flashed the latest bios (version 15), before flashing it, it said IM HARDWARE NOT WORKING, IM WILL BE IGNORED (or something to that effect). I believe this was refering to Intel Management Engine BIOS extension. When I hit F12 before POST, I have the option to enter BIOS, boot normal, or enter Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension. I tried the latter option a couple times and in all cases it attempts to load the interface for about 20 seconds then just boots into windows 7 as normal.
So it doesn't appear to be the BIOS or the OS, leaving only BIOS extensions as the likely culprit (as far as I know). Does this appear to be a hardware failure on the chipset? I read an article on Intel's site that outlined the procedure for doing BIOS recovery mode (removing a jumper on the MOBO). Obviously it would be nice to avoid this since it is a laptop, but if this would actually fix something then I will give it a shot. Anyone have any ideas?
Laptop is on and plugged into the docking station which is "powered". Connection to monitor / keyboard and mouse is fine, however I'm surprised to see a lower power - plug is soon message. Isn't docking station supposed to provide power to the laptop?
Hello all -
I'm helping someone out with their n7110. The computer started being unable to boot this morning. It goes to the Dell logo where the status bar fills up and then it reboots again.
There is no beep code.
I tried unplugging, removing the battery, holding down the power button for 30 seconds, plugging in the AC adapter and waiting, and then booting with the battery out. Same result.
I tried removing the RAM and booting. Got the 2 beep codes for the missing RAM, but otherwise got the same result. Reseated the RAM and tried booting again with the same result.
There is nothing odd about the status lights on the bottom left: power on and HD flashes.
The 3 lights on the top right buttons do this before it reboots (1 is leftmost, 2 is middle, 3 is the right button):
1-2-3-2-1-123 (all on) and then the computer reboots. Anyone know if this means anything?
I tried booting with the D key to get the display test and that's fine. I booted into the diagnostics and all of those pass.
Any ideas on what's going on? I have to wonder about the motherboard, but I wanted to make sure there isn't anything else to try before declaring this thing dead.
Thanks!

I have an Alienware laptop; one of 3 Alienware machines I own and 1 Dell desktop. On the lid of the laptop at the front where you open it, the black finish is all coming apart where my fingers contact the lid. I have owned it for only 6 months but since it is a "cosmetic issue" they wont stand behind it and repair it. So my 6 month old laptop already looks years old and beat up. Absolutely brutal service to put that back on me. I paid 2k for a laptop and they wont warranty that?
Shameful!
Hi everyone,
I have recently purchased the Dell XPS 12 9Q33 device but have an issue with the touchscreen where it sometimes doesn't respond when coming out sleep mode. The only way to get the touchscreen to respond again is to un-install the drivers from device manager, re-scan, and let the drivers install again.
The device has all the latest drivers available from the Dell website installed but this issue still occurs. I have just today updated the BIOS from A02 to A03 to see if that makes any difference so will report back if it does.
Has anyone else expereinced this issue?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

My D600 laptop runs extremely slow for about the first 20 minutes after I start it up.
It can take 5 or more minutes for Internet Explorer or Google Chrome to fire up.
Any program I try to run can take 5 minutes or more to run.
Then loading a site/page can take several more minutes.
It’s not freezing; it’s just extremely slow in responding to commands.
It’s not the internet because I can fire up other computers and they work fine.
Then after about 30 minutes, everything is great – no problems at all.
Running it through Dell Diagnostics shows no problems.
(Of course that is after the 30 minute warm up.)
It’s like the old radios that wouldn’t work right until the vacuum tubes fully warmed up.
Any ideas?
Hey all, just looking for some suggestions. I originally called dell for my M18 Alienware because the HDMI port would not recognize a HDMI 1.4 cable and the daughter board kept kicking off external drives. The sent out a tech to replace the video card thinking it would fix the HDMI issue........NOPE. I‘m no computer guru but seemed obvious even to me it was a mother board issue. He didn't even have any notes about the daughter board or the right side USB port issue. Eventually the tech got a depot request approved, and it has been there for over a month, every week e rep calls and asks if I got my laptop yet, I have to remind them its still in depot, REALLY, I have to tell them......... ? Then they look at their "notes" and say give it another week. Now I don't even get calls, depot status has been in repair for awhile. This seems ridiculous, is there anything I can do to speed this up or at least get something out of them having my expensive laptop for as long as they want to keep it?
