Need Win7 Ethernet Controller driver for 15Z Service Tag

0
0

I had to downgrade the OS from Win8 to Win7 on my brothers recently purchased Inspiron 15Z Ultrabook.  Pretty much have all of the drivers needed except for the Ethernet Controller driver and I do need that driver.

Only Win8 drivers & updates are available for this Ultrabook, so getting it into the shape it is in was a bit of a task to say the least.

If someone can point me to the Win7 driver I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

Scott

As previously i notice that when Laptop gets hotter,i can hear the fan speed and a hot blow of air from the left side of the laptop. But now there is no fan noise and hot flow of air but from where the hot blow air comes out getting hotter and hotter and botton , hardisk  side of the Laptop is also getting hotter and hotter within few minutes.

Inspiron 14z (5423) Graphic card problem !!!

0

Dear,

My laptop has some problems with the ATI video card. Although I did download the latest Win7 video drivers from dell.com, My CCC has only 2 functions and lack some others like gaming performance and video... for exp: when I played League of Legends, it didn't perform fluently and sometimes it stopped working. And after 15-20s, it worked again. I think my problem is the graphic card.

Although I can access CCC and set low or high performance for certain applications, in the end there is no difference in performance. When I ran PC checkup in Dell Support Center, i couldn't see AMD Radeon HD 7570M on PC checkup. But I still see it in the device manager and can still access CCC.

Can someone give me advice ,please ? Thanks

so when i first got my dell inspiron M5030 laptop two years ago, i downloaded and purchased sims 3 pets off of Origin and it worked well for six months, no problems. after a while it started slowing down and freezing alot, i spent like 60$ on the game so i was upset about this. so i gave up on trying to make it work. my hard drive recently started to crash so i took it to best buy to get a new one and i decided to re-download Origin and try again since i have alot new space. will there be any more problems like previously with this game? or should it work fine? please let me know.

Yesterday night while working on Excel , suddenly the latop got turned off  , and after that the laptop never turned On ,

Am worried , as this laptop is a gift to me from my brother , he got the laptop from Qatar ,

And , dont have a international warranty , and morever , its been just more than a year , so i dont think , eventhough the warranty would have worked ,.

Kindly give me a solution to the problem , but for me its very important to keep using the laptop , and also lot of data is in store, for which i have never made a back up of ,

i thought , its becuase of over heating , so it kept if off for some time , but still the laptop is turning on , few times the light comes to the power button and then next time you press it , even the light doesnt come there also ,

Also while getting off , i heard some beep from it ( was not aware of the count of the beep , as i was not aware if we have to count it )

Please help me at the earliest ( ALso let me know if i have to provide anyother details for further clarification )

INSPIRON 1545 : this copy of windows is not genuine

The hard disk of my Inspiron 1545 failed out of warranty.   I replaced the disk, downloaded windows and drivers from Dell.

After 30 days, I now have : Build 7601: This copy of Windows is not genuine.

I guess that it will refuse to boot in a few days.   Any ideas about how I can recover this situation. I think that I

have followed all the rules (and paid all the money.....).

Inspiron 910 blank screen and POST code 2-1-1

0

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if somebody could guide me in troubleshooting this: I've got an Inspiron 910 who doesn't want to boot.

When pushing the power button, screen keeps blank and I can hear a POST code as follows: 2-1-1.

Things I've done so far:

  • Removing battery, then using tha AC cord only to boot up.
  • Changing RAM memory module with another one with same characteristics (I've got another Dell laptop using same memory). No results.
  • Dissasembling the netbook and checking all cables. They're all ok.
  • Booting up without RAM and Flash drive. Then conneting them again. No luck.

The computer appears to be in very good condition. No signs of misuse or so.

Where could be the problem located?

Thank you very much in advance.

Changing the cover on XPS M1530 - is this possible?

I have two XPS M1530.  One has a red lid and one has a black lid.  Is it possible to change this lids over as I fancy a change?  I was hoping it was a simple case of unpopping them rather than having to dismantle the screen.  Any advice gratefully appreciated.

Hi 

I have just bought this Latitude E6400 Laptop on Ebay and intend to ship it out to my niece in Kenya whom I am sponsoring to go to University of Nairobi.

Only problem is that I need a user Guide to get her started. 

I have found a copy of Setup and Features information pamphlet on the Dell website but I cannot find the User Guide 

Can anyone please advise where I can obtain a copy. 

Thanks

Hola. I have some new hinges for my 'ol reliable D620. I have taken the screen apart and get how to do the top half, but I am a bit confused on exactly how to disassemble the bottom part (base). 

Can anyone please help me with some instruction or images on what pieces and screws need to be removed to access the bottom part of the hinge?

Many thanks!

XPS 14 Touchpad useless

The touchpad is driving me mad. I dont get on with tap to click so i turn it off - not a problem. The problem I am having is when I bring my thumb down on the touch pad to click because that part of the touchpad is live it often moves the mouse. This is driving me mad. Is there a way of disabling the botom 1cm of the touchpad so that I can click it like a normal 2 button mouse??????

I have tried the Synaptic driver off their website and this imroves things slightly as you can define a mouse active area on the touchpad but it does not disable the two finger scroll in the area where I click with my thumb.

 

This is such a shame as I think the XPS 14 is one of the best laptops I have had and it is useless without a working touchpad. I am thinking of buying a Lenovo T430 which has 2 buttons - but crappy audio - at least it will be useable.

Inspiron 15R Special Edition 5521 does not ship with Backlit Keyboard

0
0

Extremely frustrated and disappointed.  I worked thru a "standard" Inspiron 15R potential purchase online but wanted a backlit keyboard.  Since I didn't see that option I contacted Dell (via chat) and was told if I wanted a backlit keyboard I would need to purchase a "different" 15R, the 15R Special Edition.  Very frustrating.  I thought I was getting a really good deal (since the model was on 'sale').  Guess not. 

FWIW.... when I called technical support, the person was knowledgeable, pleasant, and genuinely interested in trying to help.   Not much he could do though...  He transferred me to Customer Support, who also wanted me to be happy, but could only transfer me to a sales associate.  The sales associate was able to tell me that for an additional $100, I could send back my computer and get a one with backlighting.  Unfortunately, I was already over budget.

Bottom line is this is 90% my own fault.  I'll give the chat guy 10% of the blame for telling me that I needed a "15R special edition" which was only part of the story.

Posting so that some one else might avoid the same mistake.
