Hi,

my new laptop came with Ubuntu installed. Now I want to install Win10 from an USB Stick.

I created the USB Stick following this guide: www.tekrevue.com/.../

To boot from the USB stick, I had to disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy Boot in the BIOS.

When the Win10 installer showed me the partitions, it also said that it couldn't install Windows on that drive, because it was not a GPT partition / not GPT compatible. Only after I removed all exisitng partitions (including the DELL EPS partition - which might have been a mistake?), I could repartition the drive successfully and install Win10.

Now I wanted to switch back to UEFI Boot in the BIOS, but this doesn't work: When I switch to UEFI and click on "Add Boot Option", a message comes up saying "File System Not Found!". After that, the system doesn't reboot anymore unless I switch back to Legacy Boot.

So I am kind of stuck - what could be the problem? How could I boot in UEFI mode from the USB stick? Or is there a certain setting in the BIOS I am missing?

Thx for every hint!

Oliver

Is there a network adapter that can be installed as a replacement for the stock Intel Centrino Wireless N-6150 adapter currently installed in L502x laptop running latest version of Windows 10?

Want to add WiDi/Miracast capability to this laptop.  If such an upgrade is possible, are there any particular driver constraints, etc. that we should be aware of?

I purchased a Inspiron 15-547 and now have broken plastic around the right hinge. This is said to be a known issue with this specific laptop yet Dell is telling me I have to pay for the repair? In the advertisement they claim that it was tested for 20,000 openings and closings. Are you kidding me? I haven't even opened and closed it for 10,000 times and it is this bad. SAD! This is not something I expect form a company like Dell.

How it is described to customers:

The best part:

"Call us excessive, but after twisting an Inspiron laptop's base and lid more than 25,000 times, we can assure you the parts inside are well protected."

Excessive with the zeroes in the number of tests maybe! Mine is not the only case where this has happened there are many others with the same complaint. I'm wondering why Dell did not recall this laptop so I would not have purchased it in the first place.

The reality:

A Dell Inspiron touchscreen 15" laptop, circa 2016 with 6Gb RAM, loads Windows 10 in thirty-seconds or less.

A Dell Inspiron 3148 touchscreen 11.3" laptop, circa 2015 with 8Gb RAM, takes about two-minutes:  blue Windows screen, brief black, blue Windows screen, about thirty-seconds black, lock screen for approximately another 30.

Pre-Wiindows load time on both is similar and takes only seconds.  Each machine has an I3 processor, 500G HD (5600 rpm) and runs at 1366 x 768.

The 3148 lists only basic start-up items...
ArsClip, a clipboard utility
Realtek HD audio
MS OneDrive
Windows Defender notification icon
Intel delayed launcher (no change if this is disabled)

Autoruns verifies that there are no unnecessary auto-loads at startup.

What's behind the disparity in load times between the two?

Team,

I'm running into issues with docking my M5510 with TB16.

I've updated the drivers as per the below KB article:

http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/sln304347/dell-thunderbolt-dock-tb16-driver-installation-guide?lang=en

Below are the list of issues I'm encountering:

1. USB mouse connected to the back of TB16 randomly jumps around.

2. USB keyboard connected to the back of TB16 behaves erratically, skipping keystrokes, stuck keystrokes.

3. USB 3.0 wireless headset dongle connected to the front 3.0 port causes audio to cut out constantly.

4. AX510 soundbar connected to the audio out behind TB16 cuts out intermittently.

5. Wifi speeds without connecting to TB16 is in the range of 15-20Mbps; connected to TB16, wifi speeds drops to 1-5Mbps.

Driver Versions:

• ASMedia USB 3.0 Extended Host Controller_CH1P1_WN32_1.16.41.3_A03_01
• ASMedia-USB-Extended-Host-Controller-Driver_M8TKT_WIN_1.16.47.1_A04
• Bios: 1.2.29
• Intel_TBT3_FW_UPDATE_NVM16_VH741_A06_4.16.00.005
• Intel-Thunderbolt-Controller-Driver_7X8Y6_WIN_16.3.61.275_A03
• Intel WiFi Network_Driver_YN4DG_WN32_19.1.0.3_A02_03
• Realtek-USB-GBE-Ethernet-Controller-Driver_4TRK6_WIN_2.43.2017.0505_A05_01
• Realtek-ALC3266-High-Definition-Audio-Driver_33HNF_WIN_6.0.1.8142_A07
• Realtek-USB-Audio-Driver_80TGT_WIN_6.3.9600.85_A04
• Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver_M56HN_WIN_21.20.16.4664_A10

any help would be appreciated!

thanks,

SG

BTHUSB event ID 34

"The local adapter does not support an important Low Energy controller state to support peripheral mode..."

This pops up as a warning in Event Viewer every time the 3148 laptop is booted or awakened from sleep.

As a test, "Allow this device to turn off this device to save power" has been disabled where available under Device Manager performance tabs for Bluetooth entries - to no effect.

BT works. and it's understood that the warning is benign.  But can it be eliminated?

Hi everyone I have an issue, I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series, the model is the Inspiron 5555

After using it for a while I decided to let it rest, so a turn it off, when I came back the laptop won't turn on, the battery was fully charged and everything was working great!! but after that shutdown doesn't turn on, I already tried a few things

 

Pushing the power button withouth the cable and the battery on the Laptop, I tried it for, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 seconds on different times and didn't work, sometimes it showed me like a white/amber led but didn't show anything and it won't turn on, and in a different occasion gave me a flashing fully white led, but it again didn't work, it doesn't give me any beep or anything

 

also I tried doing the same steps withouth the HDD, RAM and BIOS Battery, again no different result

 

Why is happening this to me haha :(?

 

The computer has the latest Windows 10 Update, 12 GB Ram, A10 Proccesor, HDD 1TB 

 

Thank you so much for wasting your time on my case haha, I'm really desperate!

Hi guys,

1st of all i will apologize for my bad english. :)

Here is my query.

I recently bought an Dell Inspiron 7567 which has the following:

• 128GB Solid State Drive (Boot) + 1TB 5400RPM Hard Drive (Storage)
• 16GB Memory
• 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ Quad Core (6MB Cache, up to 3.8 GHz)
• NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050Ti with 4GB GDDR5

Any recommendation for an SSD?

Hi All, I hope somebody can help me...

I decided to create a 'signature' build of my xps15 9560 4K and used the windows Create tool to make a USB stick that enabled me to create a clean version of Windows 10.  This worked perfectly ;)

I then went to the DELL support site and installed latest versions of the following:  Dell Update, INTEL HD Graphics (21.20.16.4664) , NVIDIA Graphics Card Drivers (22.21.13.8205) , Premier Colour , Killer Wireless drivers.  This also worked perfectly ;)

My problem is ... when I run the SecondLife / Firestorm Viewer everything is fine but when I close the application the display crashes with lots of different colours appear all over the screen.  I don't get the flicker that some people have talked about and so far no other application has caused this to happen.

I suspect this is a problem with switching graphics cards and/or driver related.  I have deliberately kept the drivers as per latest Dell version.  I have rebuilt the pc several times and tried using a few different drivers but nothing helps.  Before I refreshed the PC the application was OK.

Any Ideas ?  right now my best option is to shutdown the pc without closing the application.

In my XPS-13 9365 2in1, just after solving the "Loud Beep Issue" another trouble arose.

It is shutting down randomly while it is on battery use despite full charged battery. It happened maybe 5-6 times in total and last two was yesterday and today. It is really annoying if I didn't turn-on autosave for some programs. Is there anybody else having the same issue?

I have downloaded the latest drivers and up to date.

Thanks...

When i was ordering this laptop i was told that this laptops hard drive does support hardware encryption. I thought it would be as easy as setting the HDD Password in BIOS (like with some other SED SSD's)

I actually can't find HDD Password in BIOS anywhere.

Does this laptop come SSD capable of hardware encryption? 

Thanks

I have an Inspiron 15-5548 with the standard 720p touchscreen. Is it possible to upgrade or switch it out with the 1080p version? I am aware that with this type of upgrade I am best off buying an entire screen assembly. I need that anyway because the outer shell is bent from being dropped. My main concern is the motherboard connectors. Are they the same allowing this type of upgrade to work. Thanks for your input.
