My Dell/Support Assist

0

Let me start at the beginning.  I was having trouble with my PCTuneUp program and had to have technicians from GeekBuddy do some remote work on my computer.  Following their working on it...I lost a lot of documents and everything that I'd done in my Open Office Account.  Also..I seemed to have lost my My Dell feature.  Well I downloaded it again  and got it to show up; however, whenever I go to run a default scan with Support Assist...it keeps telling me there is NO DEVICE under hard drive.  It states that maybe it's been disconnected since first running the program.  What does that mean?  How do I reconnect it??  I am not very computer savvy....so please explain what to do in easy to understand language.  Thanks for your assistance!

Inspiron 11 3147 read / write speeds when deciding on SSD upgrade

0
0

I would like to upgrade my Inspiron 11 with an SSD. I am looking at the SSD options and wondering if anyone knows if the motherboard / processor are capable of utilizing the speed of say the Samsung 850 Pro. Or is the Samsung 840 Evo or even Crucial MX series SSDs sufficient. 

Long story short, is the performance of the higher end SSD's overkill for the Inspiron 11?

Hi, I have this dell inspiron  special edition 7420 that came with win8 and backlit keyboard. I wanted to ask what SATA type this laptop using? SATA 2 or SATA 3? I can't seems to google it.

i tried to download it from ubuntu but then i figured out that this ISO isn't there because its pre-manufacture installed ! Please help me out here, my laptop seems helpless without the Nvidia Card and this is why i bought this laptop at the first place !

Give me a link to download the manufacture image

useless warranty

everytime there is an issue it costs more for warranty than the problem would cost to fix.  nothing but a scam.  and it takes longer to deal with it than it would to get it fixed locally in the first place.  never buy a dell computer .  and you will have problems on a regular basis

Inspiron 3521 (late 2012) Not Starting

0

Hi,

My Inspiron 3521 has stopped working :-(

When I press the power button, the power light comes on for about 5 seconds, the hard drive light is on and you can hear it running for about 2 seconds and the fan runs for 5 seconds. The light on the CD rom is also on for 2 seconds (from power on) then nothing!!!

I have checked the battery and power supply, both seem to be working. I've also refreshed the static power, tried reseating the hard drive and the memory but still no joy!

There are also no beeps.

Any ideas what I can do next ????

Thanks in advance :-) :-) :-)

Latitude 5440 Battery Issue

0
0

I have a very weird battery issue with my 5440. I just had the motherboard replaced so I hope I don't have to get it replaced again. The laptop will now power on with any battery. It will only work when it is plugged into the power adapter. The laptop can still see the battery. When the battery is in it says it's 100% charged, but when I unplug it it powers down instantly. With the battery removed it says there is no battery there. I'm not sure what to do besides replace the motherboard again. I would really like to avoid that if I could. Has anybody seen this issue before?

E7440 - Can't Provision Encryption

0
0

I have a brand new E7440 that shipped with OPAL encrypted hard drive capability. This computer has been completely erased and reinstalled with a fresh, bare bones Windows 7.

I downloaded all the drivers for the E7440 from the Dell website and everything installed fine. I need to enable the Dell Data Protection so I can use the fingerprint scanner and encrypt the hard drive.

This is the only product from the support.dell.com section for me to download regarding this:

http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R1RJG&fileId=3434438134&osCode=W864&productCode=latitude-e7440-ultrabook&languageCode=EN&categoryId=DP

When I go to install it, it asks me for an Enterprise Server, which I don't have. If I just click through that, I am able to install it.

After it is installed, I open up My Computer and I right click on my hard drive and open the Dell Data Protection Encryption option. My drive just says "Not Provisioned" and won't let me encrypt it.

What do I need to install to make this work?

New XPS 13 for 2015 battery

0

I am very  close to buying a new XPS 13, but I would like to know about the battery. The battery is internal, if the time comes that I need a new battery will I be able to buy a new battery and install it myself or will I have to send it to Dell. I tend to keep my computers a long time and if installing a new battery is going to be a problem I may look for something else. ............  

Inspiron 17 7737 - Windows 7 drive

Hello all!

I've bought Inspiron 7737 with Ubuntu OS, and wanted to switch for my Windows 7. I am struggling with drivers right now. Already installed drivers from :
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/inspiron-17-7737/drivers

They didn't work as they should. 1st thing: I cannot install graphic driver, it prompts that I should have installed Intel (R) driver at the first place, which I think I did. (I installed chipset drivers at the first place)

2nd thing: I restarted the laptop after installation of the rest of the drivers and my keyboard and mouse stopped working on Windows login screen. They work in BIOS and in diagnostic tool but stop working once Windows boots. 

It's not a problem for me to run another windows installation, thing is I need working drivers and cannot use automated tools avaialble on product support webpage. Any help please?

Best regards,
Kraxi

hardware upgrade

I have a inspiron with a 2nd gen i5 2450m processor and 6 gig ram ..... I'm working with multi track audio and video production and I'm getting some lag ....mainly with video editing ... I know I should have a more powerful computer to do this but ... my question is what upgrade would make my computer benefit more ... more ram and if so .. how much more can I put in before the processor can't handle and becomes a waste ... or solid state hard drive for faster loading ...don't want to spend too much in upgrade cause it would makes sense to just invest that into a new faster computer ... thanks for any help I can get ...

backup error

Hi - I have a Dell Inspiron N5050 laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. I have very little saved to this machine(about 500 pictures, 75 documents).  I can't find a recovery drive on me laptop.  I have drive OS:C and optical drive :D.  This laptop didn't come with disks, but bought brand new.  I noticed when I tried to do the 1st backup, I got error C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\syncup...file can not be specified 0x080070002.  Backup completed with errors.  When I go to change backup settings, it only gives option to where to save the backup to and not what to save.  I tried going into task scheduler and can not find anything that leads me backup settings beside where to save the backup.  Now, after I have been trying, I notice that my drive "C" is 3/4 full and I believe it's from these backups not performing correctly because I have not saved anything in months.   I have looked up the error code, but am having a hard time and need some help.  I know a little about computers, but not much and I'm afraid to mess it up further.  I also use Advanced System Care 8 daily and always delete my cookies.  I'm reaching out for help before I go to Staples(which I truly do not want to do, nor can I rally afford).  Please help!  Thanks so much!  Francine

The media keys and hardware radio have stopped working on my Studio XPS 1645.  I can still use the media/DVD features through software.  The hardare radio, used for networking, Bluetooth is not working and I can not seem to get it to turn on.  Is there a hotkey or other means I can use to restore wireless networking?

Are replacement parts available.

Thank you.
