Unable to Download Drivers.

0
0

I am trying to download drivers for an old laptop a inspire mini 1080.  I have tried the download manager and direct links for all of the drivers and utilities and they give the exact same error. 

For the direct link the error that appears is as such. "The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred."

For the download manager using akami, the download says the file immediately is corrupt and will not download. 

I had to do a clean install of windows on the device. I have tried to download the drivers from 3 different computers on different networks and they all give the same error.

Originally had an HD problem, had to replace, format and reload Vista from a generic CD.  Everything worked ok, including the Ethernet, but the Wireless did not work.  I downloaded the recommended driver from the Dell website and it will not install, comes back telling me that it is not compatible with the Operating System that I have.  It is a Broadcom wireless card.  Can anyone help?

Hello!

i purchased a Inspiron N5010 laptop on 24/09/2010.

It has been more than two years i am using it.

But suddenly now at once when i started it t,he SCREEN was off and the

laptop gave certain beeps.

first i thought that it would be a video chips or motherboard problem but then when i connected the laptop to an external

monitor it was working fine,

i think the problem is with the LCD screen .

i want to know the warranty Dell gives to the LCD screen and what could be the other reasons for

the same problem.

please help me.

N5110 wireless connection problem! PLEASE HELP

Hi everyone. 

I have Dell N5110 for 2 years and I've never had any problems until now. I have problem connecting or maintain stabile connection with my home network. With other networks is fine, on the other way, with other notebooks the connection with my home network is with no problem, so my router is okey. It's has started one month ago, and it's frustrating that I can't connect or when I do, it last short time and disconnects. I've tried reinstalling my Intel N 1030 network card, I've set up my preferenceses by the book, even tried dissabling my bluetooth adapter (I've read this like a solution)... But the problem is still here. 

Please someone help me...

Need to restore Dell Inspiron 17R?

0

Hi. I'm new to computers (almost brand new) and I am having a major problem with my laptop. Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition. One day it was working perfectly fine, no problems at all, the next (literally) it stops working. It goes to a black screen upon powering it on, and after that it won't budge. I have to turn it off and back on again, then rapidly press F12 to get to set up. I've tried many things but nothing I've tried has work. It never goes past the black screen. Two people have told me it might be a hardware problem, an expert told me that I need a restore disk, but I don't know what kind of disk. He said that many people are having a similar problem. If anyone can tell me how I can resolve this, no matter what it takes, I would be very appreciative.

Device iaStor0 timeout

Two year old Dell Inspiron 17r getting occasional  " \Device\Ide\iaStor0 timeouts", probably since new. Laptop hangs for a while, then continues. Norton 360 detects no viruses, Dell diagnostics run without error and chkdsk reports no problems.

Has anyone experienced this problem, and is there a Dell download available to fix?

mouse buttons become non-responsive after a few clicks, or after touching pointing stick

0

Input works great for the first couple of mouse clicks, and then the pointer will move but no clicks are registered. Can not click start menu, Cannot Close windows, Cannot click desktop icons. Keyboard navigation works perfectly.  Oddly enough, I can still click on the desktop and draw rectangles, but nothing else seems to work.  I cannot even click with a USB mouse.

This is not an OS-related issue.  I have the same problem in Linux under both KDE and GNOME desktop environments. I can point both with the trackpad and the pointing stick, but I cannot click anything--not even with a USB mouse.  removing the keyboard allows full mouse movement, and there are no problems clicking (in Linux and Windows)

I booted to Dell Diagnostics, and ran a test on the pointing devices.  The first part checks the trackpad only, and seems to be good on tracking as well as both lower mouse buttons.  The 2nd part checks the pointing stick and its buttons.  The test checks tracking by having you drag the cursor to a box in the middle of the screen.  There are 3 boxes that turn green when you click the left, center, and right buttons respectively.  ******* When I drag the cursor into the box, immediately the middle buttons turns green and says "OK", even though I'm not pushing it.************

^^^ This made me think that my inability to click is caused by a faulty middle button, which is registering as being constantly pressed.  I bought a replacement keyboard, but i still have the same problem--exactly the same problem.

This is certainly a hardware issue.  I want to know if anyone has encountered this before.  What exactly would I replace?? The trackpad+palmrest?  The motherboard??

I found a similar issue at this website: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/273302-latitude-e6500-mouse-and-touchpad-input-stop-working

but his issue seemed to be windows- or driver-related.  Otherwise, the symptoms seem to be spot on.

Please help!

Laptop does not turn on

I have a dell studio 1558, with intel i5 and 6GB RAM

I am unable to turn on the laptop. The adapter is connected and the battery is charged. But, when i press the power button, nothing happens.

I have tried some basic troubleshooting.

  • Remove Battery, connect adapter.
  • Remove adapter, connect battery
  • Remove battery and adapter, hold power button for ~1 minute, then repeat above 2 steps.
  • Remove RAM sticks and try to power on (as suggested on another thread in the forum)
For all the above steps, there is no change in state. No beeps from the mother board or any response from the laptop.
The laptop was working fine until i used a can of compressed air to clean out the fan. I did this with the system powered off and the battery and adapter disconnected.
Please help.
