Latitude E5530, Bluetooth and TouchPad...

0
0

Okay, I can't get the "feature" of the touchpad to work where it "disables when a USB mouse is present"

Reason:  There is a perpetual bluetooth mouse appearing in the device manager.

I actually have 3 mouse devices listed:  Touchpad, HID-Compliant (bluetooth), and HID-Compliant (Wifi).  Numbers 1 and 3 are correct.  Number 2 is not really there,

When I pull the WiFi dongle, the #3 mouse correctly goes away, leaving me with two.

Clearly, the touchpad is detecting a "HID-Compliant" mouse "on bluetooth".  BUT THERE IS NO MOUSE PAIRED.  I tried to uninstall the bluetooth software from Add/Remove (or whatever Win7 calls it this year), but the device is still there.  So I did an "uninstall" of the device in the device manager, and it comes back.  (yes rebooting between all attempts)

So, something, somewhere, is claiming to be a mouse on the bluetooth stack.  How do I make it go away, since it's not really there?  Because it is causing the touchpad software to disable, thinking there is another device.

Additionally, when I forgot my mouse, I tried to activate the touchpad...  Do you realize that it is completely *impossible* to manipulate the user interface to the Tochpad applet in the control panel without a mouse in the first place???  You cannot make the "save" button activate. This is the ultimate in poor usage design.

Any help is appreciated.

MY BATTERY CHARGES GOES ON AND OFF

My Alienware 14, which i purchased in December 2013. Has this problem where when i charge, using my charger, the power of the charge goes on and off. I'm stuck at 11-14% of battery all the time, even in charges of an hour. It stays within the percentage. The charges goes on and off frequently. This problem appeared 3 days after my excess use in US visit. with 120V, my country of origin is in Indonesia where it is 240V. The problem is the warranty is dead. I tried AlienAutopsy on my Battery it passed. I used a different dell charger of my sister's and the problem still occur. What should i do. Please reply ASAP. I dont really have time to take it to laptop service because i'll be leaving the US in about 5 days. Indonesia does not really have a place to fix alienwares. Anything which can be done at home would be great. Thanks.

XPS 1645 Screen or Video Issue

0
0

My Dell XPS 1645's screen has gone funky. During load up there are white streaks and little bars made up on red green blue. I'm going to hazard a guess and say the video card or the screen will need replacing.

During normal load up I get a blue screen (with a lot of text I can't read through the lines, but says something along the lines of file dump), but can get it to work in safe mode and safe mode networking.

In safe mode the visual is all distorted and filled with a fractal design, with the only clear areas being around the mouse or anything that moves on screen.

Windows 7 install issue.

I am trying to do a restore on my laptop but when i try to install windows 7 it ask for the driver files. (To install the device driver needed to access your hard drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files and then click okay.) My laptop came with the restore disk but it worked only the first time i had to do a restore. 2nd time i had my mother download a driver on to her flash drive and it worked but recently she lost the flash drive and now we can't find the same driver that worked before. If anyone knows what driver i need please help, Thank you.

Inspiron 15R Laptop Selectively Unresponsive

0
0

I have a Dell Inspiron 15R Laptop purchased under a year ago. While this is fairly new, even in the technology world, with a i7 processor and 16GB RAM it sometimes runs unbelievably slow especially compared to the older laptops of my coworkers with slower processors, less RAM, etc. We'd be running the same programs and their laptops would finish much faster than mine despite how "up to date" mine is supposed to be. Recently, I got the blue screen problem and shortly after I ran all sorts of diagnostics using the F12 function at start-up as well as the Dell website. Both returned nothing, saying my computer was fine.


The newest installment in my problems is unresponsiveness when clicking. I noticed it when I had Adobe open and then it continued with everything else including Google Chrome and Firefox. Clicking a button (such as the 'x' out or 'minimize') would do have absolutely no response or would do something completely unrelated (clicking 'back' in Chrome opened a new tab). I'd really like to enjoy my Dell Laptop but it's given me nothing but problems and this is proving extremely frustrating and time-consuming. If someone could, please help. Thank you.

I have a Dell 3521 and never could get Bluetooth to work, I downloaded most recent driver but they will not install. I have updated BIOS etc, etc, etc. still no Bluetooth. I spent 26 years in computer business and sold Dells before they were marketed direct. They were *** then and *** now. And support is the worst. Truly my last Dell !!!!!

Dell keyboard for 3 months only guarantee???

0
0

I am owner of a Dell laptop 17R N7010 and the warranty expired before 2 years. Before 9 months I bought from Dell here in Greece the original keyboard because the other one was defect. And now that I have again problem with the keyboard I contacted with Dell here in Greece and they told me that it has only 3 months guarantee. I just wanted to say that for a new item it is unacceptable to give only 3 months. It's new it is not used, I can't understand why it doesn't have 12 months guarantee as it should when EU says the same. I am generally very satisfied with Dell but this was very disappointing for me and I just wanted to share my thoughts about this matter.

Thank you in advance for your patience.

Is the Alienware 18 being discontinued?

There are rumors swirling around because they haven't updated the AW 18 and they did the other models that it's being discontinued.  Is this true?  I know Aw is marketing the video amplifier with the newly released models.

Dell 3340 - Issue w/Unplugging Patch Cable

0
0

We seem to be having a major problem with unplugging the network patch cable from our Dell 3340 laptops.  Whether it's unplugging them from a Dell managed cart that we purchased or unplugging them from one of our older laptop carts that we converted into a managed cart, a lot of the 3340 laptops just have a hard time having the patch cable unplugged from them.  It's not every laptop, but it's a lot of them.  Just curious if anyone else is having this issue and if Dell has had this issue reported to them by any of their customers.  I work for a school district and the teachers who deal with the laptops carts are growing frustrated with this issue and some of them are not plugging in the patch cable when the laptops are put back, which doesn't allow us to manage them remotely like we want to.

Inspiron 5421 Bluetooth SPP service with WIndows 7 Pro

Hi,

I've been trying to connect a Moto G phone to use as a GPS in a Dell Insipron 5421 with windows 7 pro 64 bits, and although the phone is recongnized, it gives an error when configuring the services, so no service is available. I've found a diversion to solve the file transfer issue but still cannot find a SPP outgoing port for connecting the GPS service to the laptop, and still have to services that fail to load a driver.

I've tried every version of the driver and the Pro/Set wireless solution inlcuding de 17.1 version (12/29/2014) but still doesn't work.

Does anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks.

Laptop just shows black screen on start up?

0
0

I switched my Dell Laptop on today and although it's on and the screen is on too, it's just showing a black screen.

I've tried pressing F2 and F12 upon start up but it doesn't get so far as to allow me to use this option.

I've also tried connecting my laptop to my TV through a HDMI cable to check if it was just the monitor not working but that didn't work either.

I've tried taking the battery out as well and replacing it and nothing is changing.

I have no idea what has caused this at all, I haven't noticed any strange behaviour from it recently so does anyone have any suggestions what may be wrong with it or how to fix this problem?

Its this laptop:

Running Windows 8.1

Upgrade to SSD will not work in AHCI only in ATA. Any reason why?

0

Hi,

I have a Dell laptop Inspiron 11 3000 2in1. I decided to swap my Dell Sata 54000 rpm HD to a SSD M500 240GB. I went in the BIOS and it does recognize the Fixed HDD - Crucial_CT240M500SSD1 240GB. I tried installing Windows 8.1 and it would not recognize the SSD HD. What I notice if I go in the BIOS and change SATA Operation to ATA it works fine. I would like to have it on AHCI because I guess that is the latest technology for reading a HD. Any reason why I can't install it with AHCI? It also did work fine before on AHCI with the factory HD that came with the laptop.

Thanks.
