I have a Latitude E5510 with an Intel Core i3-330M Processor (3M Cache, 2.13 GHz), socket rPGA988B.
I would like to know if I can upgrade the processor to Intel Core i7-720QM Processor (6M Cache, 1.60 GHz)?
(I have processor i7-720QM from a dead laptop).
It is possible to do this processor upgrade?
Thank you,
Best regards
Hello
I have an interesting issue here...
I got a dell e4200 used from someone, and it didnt have the wireless 3g card inside, so i went out and got one... i installed it, the computer and everything detects the card and installed the drivers accprdingly. I even installed them manual as well... I believe when the computer was first built it has never built with the card installed. however all the connections etc are there, including the pins for the SIM card and the wires for the antenna.
i have the sony ericsson mobile manager software to get it hooked up to the net... i have a valid SIM card installed under the battery.
My issue is, it refused to connect to the network... The PC sees the card, detects the card, the BIOs was updated and that sees the card and everything is turned on in the BIOs. However whenever i open the connection manager from SE, it says no broadband card installed, and when i go to view, information, it doesnt list an IMEI etc like as if that card isnt there. Yet in device manager, the PC clearly shows the card there and installed, and working correctly.
There are times when in the task bar where the wifi signal is there, i open that and see that the wireless network is listed there, i click that and it tries to connect but fails right away saying, connection error code 0 and i havent been able to find anything about that error...
im out of ideas where, i have tried everything, rolling back the drivers, installing the latest, removing the card, trying out different SIM cards. nothing is working.... can someone help?
Info:
Dell e4200
windows 7 ultimate
WWAN 5530 card unlocked.
not sure what else you might need to know, someone please help me figure this out...
I recently purchased an Inspiron 15 7000 series 7537TX Base with
i7-4500U Processor, 16GB Ram, NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 750M 2GB DDR5 and 1TB 5400 rpm SATA Hybrid Hard Drive with 8GB Cache
I am thinking about buying a Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5-Inch SATA III SSD to replace the one in the inspiron, but I don't know if it is capable or not.
Also, I have my XPS 15 L502X which works completely fine, but I think the Harddrive is dying. Then I wonder if I could use the 1TB 5400 rpm SATA Hybrid Hard Drive with 8GB Cache from the new Inspiron 15.
So, I have a few questions I hope I could get some information for that.
1. Does the Inspiron 15 7000 series 7537TX Base support Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series1TB 2.5-Inch SATA III SSD??
2. Does the XPS 15 L502X also support Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5-Inch SATA IIISSD??
3. 1TB 5400 rpm SATA Hybrid Hard Drive with 8GB Cache from the new Inspiron 15, is the XPS 15 L502X support that?
4. I heard the L502X is capable with SSD up to 512GB, what happens if I put a 1TB SSD in there?
I really need some help before I make the decision.
Thanks

Hello! My daughter cracked her touchscreen. Two questions:
1. Where could I buy a replacement touchscreen? Links?
2. Could I replace it with a non-touchscreen? (seems to be lots of regular LCDs for sale but not touchscreens)
Thank you!
Ok, My machine came pre-installed with windows 8 which I did not need for business purposes, my goal was to downgrade to windows 7 64-bit with UEFI functionality, I had a hard drive from a previous Inspiron machine (1721) that i wanted to clone to my insprion 7537 machine, the older 1721 hard drive had about 209 GB's used out of 500 GB, I was migrating this to a 1TB SSD (hybrid) that is of the newer machine (7537), I carefully formatted the 1TB ssd drive with GPT partition table requirements ( 100mb EFI/ 200mb MSR/ CORE OS) , upon doing so I used a third party application to clone my older disk to the newer disk, the end result is that windows 7 gpt partition is not booting up, please see my snapshots below, any insight would be greatly appreciated .
Hi all,
I just got my new XPS 15, amazing laptop but there's 1 big problem,
A high-pitched scratching/screeching noise is produced from the power button area ONLY when the power is plugged in and the battery is fully charged.
I've seen other forums and others have exactly the same problem, Any ideas?
I found this example http://z.mk/e6vq , the power is plugged into the laptop at 6 seconds.
Thanks
I bought some Latitude E7440 laptops w/USB 3.0 SuperSpeed docking stations and Dell P2714H monitors.
Thanks very much for any insights you may have!
I have a Inspiron 1545. I am running Vista OR with WIn Office 07. Any and every text program I use has an issue. While I am tying the text will suddenly stop typing and go back to my last cursor location and type in the middle of the last sentence, or even paragraph. It is driving me nuts. I have owned three dells in the last 10 years all laptops. I have small hands and know I am not touching the touchpad. I have never had this problem before. I called technical support and they reintalled the driver and made sure the touchpad was working. I have gone into my setting for the mouse and changed to to a larger cursor to no avail. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks
I recently noticed ghost images on my Dell XPS 12 Duo. If a bright image on dark background stays on the screen for a couple of minutes and then I switch to somewhat dark background I can clearly see the previous image on the screen for some time before it fades away. Once I noticed it I started spotting even more subtle ghost images. I even managed to capture it in a picture with a low-end digital camera - http://imgur.com/a/RIYff (notice the tray icons clearly seen in the Win 8 start screen and even the facebook ad is visible). It is far more clear when you look at the actual screen and not on a picture. I already arranged replacement laptop (as I had other issues with this one) but yesterday I read news about mass defects in Apple's Retina MacBooks ( http://www.ibtimes.com/print/macbook-pro-retina-display-problems-apple-faces-class-action-suit-ghosting-issue-1129939 ) with practically the same issue. Now I wonder if it is possible that all Dell XPS 12 Duo screens have this problem.
So anyone else seeing this on his machine?
Hello,
I have E6410 with NVS 3100 M graphic card. I had no problem with windows 7 and sleeping mode. After I buy a new system windows 8 it was good too. But when I update my system to version 8.1 than will appear a problem with black screen after sleep mode. I tried to update graphic driver, but it didnt help. I have last BIOS.
Please can you help me with this problem?
Thanks
I have just recently received a new XPS 13 with the new haswell i7 processor, 8gb RAM, 256gb ssd, and windows 8.1.
I really like this laptop, but it makes a really bizarre noise. It happens constantly as soon as its powered on, like a high pitched whirring sound from somewhere beneath the keyboard. It also seems pretty inconsistent, like it flickers in frequency, and when you use programs (e.g scroll through webpages) it gets louder.
Can anyone help me with what the issue is here? Any help appreciated.
Hello,
I have been on the phone with XPS hardware support for over 12 hours (across 11 people) trying to fix a problem with an improperly imaged hard drive. Well, I should start at the beginning, I guess.
First, I paid for Next Business Day hardware support. The system went to Home Depot service because the diagnostic tests show issues with the RAM, Optical Drive (error 147), and Microsoft tech support said the graphics card on the unit is bad.
(We have been getting BSOD since December 2013 and also freezes. Thinking it was software, I paid Microsoft for help. After reinstalling the operating system and the graphic drivers with 9 different version (some production and some beta) the Microsoft tech guys said it was a hardware problem and to contact Dell. NOTE: They did lots more but I'm trying to shorten the message.)
Anyway, when the unit got back the Home Depot people said it passed their tests and gave me a new hard drive with an image.
UNFORTUNATELY:
1) The freezes continue
2) The BSOD continue.
In that regards, I declined to use Home Depot again and said I paid for Next Business Day and so today the guy from Dell shows up with a new motherboard (DOA). He ran the diagnostics using the old / original motherboard and again the optical drive errors out (twice) with a 147 error for a total of 3 times now.
He put in an order for a replacement motherboard and optical drive. He hopes it will be here by Thursday.
OK, good to wait on this issue, but what I'm writing about is the hard drive image. The above is background.
As the image only contains the basic OS, I went to install the applications and discovered the programs I bought from Dell are not on the system. I found many of them at the Dell Smart Source website (http://smartsource.dell.com), but not all of them are there.
The main program, not at the Dell Smart Source website, is Microsoft Office Home and Small Business 2010!! I have been on the phone multiple times with multiple people since Saturday night trying to get a copy.
I can -- if someone wants to know -- go through all the heart ache (including being told to pay for Dell software support and having customer care say 2010 is no longer available and I have to buy Office 2013) I will gladly discuss it.
What I'm writing about now is what is a Dell customer who paid for a Microsoft product suppose to do to get it when Dell didn't ship the original discs, but only sent a recovery image. Late Dell blows the disc up and put an image and recovery image on that doesn't include the required purchased programs?
Some helped me find a copy of MS-Office but it only installs the 64 bit version no 32-bit support. When I tried to get it to give me 32-bit it said to use the CD / DVD and go to the 32-bit directory. DUDE! I never got from Dell a CD / DVD!!! Now I'm told to use it!
I hope a Dell employee can help or someone else already lived through this and can help?
Thank you,

I use a Dell Precision M6300 which had windows vista ultimate as the OS. I recently upgraded to windows 8.1. Not too long after the upgrade I started experiencing Driver Power State Failure. I have tried to update my drivers but it looks like Dell did not make provisions for updating its drivers to meet the needs of new operating systems. Does any one know how to get around this issue without having to revert to my vista ultimate. Dell Technical Support has not been too helpful
So this thing fell out of my N5110, I had heard a rattling removed the battery give it a shake and this thing fell out of a hole from the internals of my laptop, anyone know anything about it? it looks like some sort of bracket! I think it shorted connections inside the laptop as the laptop suddenly turned off a few times! Im afraid to use my laptop
Under 8.1, DBAR offers the following choices:
Which one of these is equivalent to the recovery partition formerly installed on older hard drives (under Win 7 and earlier)?
Does (1) make an image or just a bunch of files?
(3) Is this new? What does it do?
How big are 2 and 3?
Thanks.
Hi,
recently i'm having some issues with my graphic driver which is getting crashed again and again. this is happening when i'm trying to play game on my laptop. it occurs only while playing game not at any other time. well its doesnt use to happen before while playing.
i tried reinstalling the graphic driver but it didnt helped. i seek an urgent solution on this.
Thanks.
I purchased my Dell this time at Best Buy, It was a better deal.
When I arrived home the first I registered my laptop,attempted in creating the recovery disc and as usual the image failed. Then I logged into find out what to do. meanwhile I decided to upgrade my 7737 to Windows 8.1 Pro Pack.
I made several attempts contacting Dell for intelligent life, best way to describe the experienced it does not exist any here within Dells Customer Service Out sourced services centers! I tried to request and to purchase factory recovery disc with the New Windows 8.1 Pro I paid for thru Dell's Windows 8 Pro link,. I was told the only recovery disk Dell currently offers their customers is only for for Windows 8 Home.
My laptop was built & released on December 15th 2013. Windows 8.1 should have been installed in the 1at place. The upgrade <ADMIN NOTE: Profanity removed as per TOU> , and if a customer upgrades their Dell product using Dell's website link site common sense say sell them Windows 8.1 Pro from there we site link.
Has any one been able to purchase Windows 8.1 Pro Pack with Drivers to re image a new hard drive or refreshed drive!
