Hello,
I have an issue with wifi connection on my Dell Inspiron 1420. The connection gets disconnected every 2min, again I have to disconnect and connect to the wifi. There is no issue with my wifi as I am using few different devices connected through the same wifi connection.
I do not know what is wrong may be something with the drivers not sure as I am not familiar with that area.
Thanks you in advance for the help.
Hello
I have managed to break the latch plastic clip that holds the keyboard backlight cable in place. Is there a place where I can buy this clip? A part number perhaps?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
So my company purchased a Dell Latitude E7240 laptop with the E-Port docking station (the one with just 1 DVI/VGA connection). The laptop is fine by itself but it has issues when we undock it and then re-dock it. The problem is that the user (just happens to be the President of the company :() has 7 or so USB devices and since the docking station only has 5 ports available, we bought a separate USB hub for her (and the USB hub has its own AC adapter).
So if she has the laptop in the docking station docked and turns on the laptop, everything is fine. However, whenever she undocks it and then docks it again none of the USB devices work. The problem is that it doesn't happen every time she undocks and re-docks but enough that it is extremely annoying. Also when this happens, the laptop won't restart or shut down without any issues...it just hangs at "shutting down Windows" screen. I have to manually hold down the power button to get it to shut off.
We have had a Dell tech come out and swap out the motherboard on the laptop and that seemed to fix the issue but a day or two later the issue cropped up again. I just received a new docking station from Dell and swapped it out but, again, still having the issue.
The laptop is Win. 7 64bit OS load; has all the latest drivers that I know of...so....anyone else with the similar experience and/or any thoughts on how to fix this?
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 was playing a game a few days ago and the bottom of my screen said that the color scheme had been changed to windows 7 basic.
I powered up my computer today and it had nothing but these really weird looking purple and pink and gray lines going down the bottom half of it and the top of it. I can see the middle of it just fine.
I'm not a computer genius but can someone please tell me what is going on and how to fix it.
Hi,
My boss has an iGo system, but she got a new computer. She went from an HP to a Dell Ultrabook (Latitude E7440) -- and the tip that used to charge her HP computer will not charge her Dell Ultrabook.
WHAT TIP DO I NEED TO ORDER FROM YOU TO MAKE THIS WORK?
I can't find the information readily on your website.
All help appreciated!

Please help!
I think my motherboard is gone!
The laptop boots in a loop showing the Dell logo.
It will NOT "F2 into Bios" or go into F8 or F12
I have no access to the BIOS
any hope?
Thanks.
My son's laptop, just over a year old Inspiron 3520, seemed to be taken over by a virus. It would only connect to a BT Fon wireless internet option which blocked all other connection options and would only allow you to view their advertising page. We tried to run virus checks etc, but the more we tried to do the less it would let us do, eventually we tried an F12 diagnostic test which is when we go this error code. I'm really hoping that this problem can be fixed without an expensive repair bill, any help appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
I'm a happy user of Dell M6500 mobile workstation. However there is one thing that drives me crazy. It is touchpad software. I'm using the latest version 15.1.6.2. When I try scrolling with a trouchpad scroll area when in Firefox my mouse coursor freezes, CPU load is 25% (single core fully occupied) and I need to kill SynTPEnh.exe process in order to restore cursor movement. I'm using Win7 Ultimate x64.
Does anyone have any clue how to prevent this?
Thanks and Regards, Marcin

So I am having this issue where the keyboard appears to be jumping me all over the place. Even as I am typing this message it becomes quite frustrating. I have sent the computer in for repair in the past while it was still under warranty and they determined that it was a software issue...something to do with the drivers. They said it would cost $120 for them to remotely fix the issue which I do not have. I have attempted to use this site to update all of the drivers but nothing has been specific to the keyboard or touchpad that might be causing the issue. I am wondering if this is a driver they have exclusive access to or something. Has anyone else had this issue and had some sort of progress with it?
Hi

I shall be immensely thankful to you guys if you can help me find the laptop that fits my needs. I've written a detailed specifications that are required by me for my dream laptop.
SUMMARY: I'm a web developer and love strategy games.
1. 14-inch screen (I can go with 15-inch if all the rest of the specifications are met with a 15 inch laptop)
2. 2.5GHz (I would love 3.0GHz) (make an estimate of the processor after reading all requirements)
3. 8GB RAM (I would love 16GB)
4. A good nvidia / AMD radeon graphics card
Games that should run smoothly on it:-
Counter Strike
Call Of Duty 4
Age Of Empires ( 1,2,3 and mythology )
command and conquer generals 2
stronghold (all parts)
dota 2
war craft 3 (dota 1)
(I also need video editing capable graphic card. Not heavy video editing. just screencasts editing.)
5. Anti-Glare Screen ( can be ommitted, not a must )
6. Lightweight ( <= 2.5 kg )
7. Keyboard Backlit Light ( can be ommitted, not a must )
8. Windows 8
9. Following Software applications should run smoothly and efficiently. By this I mean that when I click on a button of these applications then they should respond quickly. I can't even bear 1 second delay. It drives me crazy.
Netbeans
DreamWeaver
Photoshop
Gimp
Chrome ( with 150 tabs opened at a time )
firefox
safari
internet explorer
filezilla
flash games in a browser
10. Battery is actually not an issue. Can be as low as 2 hours.
11. Harddisk: 500GB will be sweet. Can agree on less space.
Wifi, USB ports, LAN cable support, headphones and microphone slots, webcam, microphone built-in
Thank you very much for your support.
Hi Community
I'm a DELL user for more than a year now and I'm having trouble with my DELL M5030. Whenever I open up my laptop it only gives me a black screen and 7 beeps. already checked memory and its working, thinking it it a memory issue. Also, I tried following some info in this community like powercycle the laptop by draining the battery and start it over. I really need help. Hopefully someone will give me instructions how to fix this issue. Thanks
I recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 (32 bit) on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. I have 2gigs of mem. After the upgrade a few days later the computer freezes up and nothing works except to turn it off. On occasion, I get the following error message:
"Hardware malfunction - NMI:Parity Check/Memory Parity Error - The System has Halted."
I have searched various forums and also searched the Internet and was told that simply removing the memory and reinstalling them should fix the problem but it hasn't. I have also ran various memory check programs from both Dell 32-Bit Diagnostics Utility and Microsoft Windows Memory Diagnostic all to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?
Thanks
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 .
