MY LAPTOP WONT TURN ON

0
0

hello, I have a dell inspiron N 5110 and I've had it for around 3 years. I was using my laptop earlier on today but when I tried switching it on, it wouldn't. So I put my charger in and this is where I heard a buzzing sound coming from underneath. I left it for five minutes just to see if it would turn on but it still hasn't. I'm really worried because the warranty has ran out and I can't afford a laptop in time for college in September. Please help!

Inspiron Going so slow, the indicater goes backwards!

I recently bought an Inspiron 15 Notebook (Inspiron 3521) with Windows 7. It has only been used to look at ebay and one other site, as my 81 year old  mother is just learning how to work a computer.  It is is EXTREMELY slow. The little circle that turns as you wait for something to open actually turns counter clockwise at a super slow rate, rather than clockwise quickly. The heaviest thing I’m running is Microsoft Word 2013 and McAfee, both were bought with the laptop. It goes so slow that I never get to any online page, it times out. Not even Google home page will open.
What can I do to speed it up? Thanks in advance for your help.

windows 7 error recovery, windows failed to start

My Sons Dell Inspiron 15R N5110 Service Tag:<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>

, Windows 7 It hasn't been used in a month, Battery was dead, charged over night (Batt at 100%) & started. and get the following....

"Windows error Recovery" Windows failed to start. A Recent hardware or software change might be the cause.it would keep doing this...even in Safe Mode.

I then launched start up repair, then I get this message "windows startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically"

"System restore", I tried a system restore but had no restore points saved. I then restored to "Factory Install". Every thing went smooth but still goes to the same message "Windows error Recovery" at startup. 

I then ran the ePSA diagnostics and everything passed. Rebooted & back to the "Windows error Recovery" screen

I then went to F2 at start up to check the boot sequence,

"Main" System time & Date are wrong. If I try to change them or anything it says "Setup is Locked! Enter the admin password into security -> Unlock setup to enable changes. I don't know this password & it wont let me Set Admin password on security page. <EDIT> I got password & fixed the date & time but still does the same thing.

Current boot sequence is

1- Diskette (which I dont have)

2- Hard drive

3- USB sorage device

4- cd/dvd/cd- rw drive

5- eSATA

6- Network

Any ideas??

Thanks!

Upgrading Processor in Dell Studio 1745 (Core 2 to i5)

0
0

I have a Dell Studio 1745 that came with a Core 2 Duo T6600 @ 2.2Ghz

I've researched, I can find nothing to indicate if this is possible however...

I want to upgrade it to the SLBTV - Intel Core i5-540M 2.53GHz/3M PGA988/BGA1288

Now they are both technically Socket P

I know with the 1747 they changed the socket so that it could have an i7, however would the Socket P i5 work with the 1745?

It is running the most updated Bios A04 if that helps.

Latitude E7440 not shutting down

I just purchased a new E7440 recently and most of the time, it will not shut down- the power light stays light, but display is off and the HDD light blinks every few seconds. If I leave it, it hibernates eventually but only shuts down when I actually hold down the power key. 

The same thing happens if I restart instead of shut down.

I would appreciate any suggestions.


Cannot Enter Setup or Boot Options XPS 12 9Q33

Greetings,  

I am trying to recover my system with a USB recovery stick.  

The System shows the Dell Logo when powered up, but doesn't boot Windows and instead simply freezes.  No hourglass, no rotating dots, just the Dell Logo.  

When either F2 -or- F12 are pressed during reboot, the system shows a thin blue bar below the Logo, and shows the highlighted F2 Setup or F12 Boot Options, depending on which was pressed, but again the system just stops.  

Have tried removing AC Adapter power and holding power switch in place for 15 seconds, but no different behavior.  

F8 does nothing.

Here is as far as I can get:


Any suggestions?

thanks.

Latitude E5540 and problem with fingerprint under FF and Chrome

0

Hello!

I have Dell Latitude E5540 with fingerprints reader. I've already registrated my fingers and log into windows works fine same as log into some applications such KeyPass but I can't use it to login on web sites because Dell Data Protection plugin doesn't work under FireFox 31.0 and Chrome 36.0.1985.125 m. It works only under IE 11 where plugin with password manager appear each time when browser showing fields to provide user name and password. Under Chrome, extenesion from Dell (Dell Data Protection) is disabled and I can't enable it (I think because it's not installed from official google store) but in FF this extension is enabled it has 1.0.0.5842 version and it should work.

I'm looking forward to hear from you any ideas!

Kind regards

Inspiron 1545 ethernet card not working

When this was new, you could use the ethernet cable from the modem.  Something must have happened because after a while you could only use the wireless.  Can someone suggest the steps for diagnosing what is wrong?
