I have recently acquired a Dell Latitude D830 laptop and have replaced the HDD with an 120GB SSD. I had an extra 2GB DDR2 module so i bumped up the ram from 2GB to 3GB. The laptop runs great and is quite fast considering its age. I've installed Windows 7 32-bit (I know I can use 64-bit but for whatever reason 32-bit runs faster) and am running on stock BIOS setting expect for AHCI mode. I used the vista drivers and they seem to work fine under Windows 7. The only issue is when the laptop goes to sleep. When I close the lid or use the power button, everything is fine, but when I attempt to wake the laptop, I hear the optical drive and see the power light change, but there is no video or sonund. The keyboard or touchpad will not wake the laptop and I am forced to hard reset the laptop. I then get the message that the Windows did not shut down properly. Once I start windows normally, everything is fine. I have tried all 3 power options (high performance, balanced, and power saver) but I cannot seem to fix this problem. How can I get the laptop to resume from sleep properly?

Specs:

Latitude D830

Core 2 Duo T7100 @ 1.80 GHz

3GB Ram (Passed Memtest 86 with no errors)

OCZ ARC 100 SSD 120GB

Nvidia Quadro NVS 135M

Windows 7 32-bit (Clean install with driver and updates)

Windows Vista 32-bit drivers from Dell's website

Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance!

Greeting, new to community.  I called tech support recently about installing Samsung SSD in subj puter.  They said it was not compatible with my puter.  I found Dell sells a SSD for subj puter.  Also having problems with turning off password.  I don't want any password.  Any help would be appreciated.

I have a question, I am looking into getting either a Dell WM324 or Dell WM514 mouse trying to figure out which mouse is better for my application. I am a left-handed mouser and I need the mouse to be customizable.  I have windows 7 professional on a Dell Studio 1747 and have two devices that share logitech unifying software on my computer. I know the WM 324 uses the logitech software not sure if the WM514 uses it also. Which mouse would work better for me?

Is there a way to change the backlight of this silver keyboard to something other than white.  White on Silver is nearly impossible to see the keys on this keyboard.  Thanks

I have a 3-year old Dell Inspiron N5110 that won't turn on. I did all the suggestions from other forum posts, by verifying the power sources, making sure the AC adapter is good (the green light is on and stays on), charging up the battery, unplugging the power and battery and draining any excess power, etc so it's NOT my power sources. 

When it push the power button there is absolutely NO sign of the computer wanting to start, no noise and no lights. The only thing I get is a quiet whistling noise. It happens when I push the power button when I have the AC unplugged trying to start up battery only; and also when I plug in the AC the whistle starts right away and continues until I unplug the cord it again. 

Help me please! I have a TON of data on this laptop that's not backed up anywhere else.

Received a Windows warning that my HDD is about to crash..I created a new system image stored on an external HDD,also made a new repair disc immediately.

I have Win7 w/Windows Home Premium (SP1) installed.

My question is...Will the System Image i created suffice to re-install Win7/Win Home Premium(SP1)..or do i still need a re-installation disc???...if so where can i find it??...this is serious stuff to me... i never had this happen  to me before.

I have a replacement HDD...never installed one...but i saw it done by a service tech on my laptop...doesn't look hard.

I just don't know what to do after replacement and formatting.

PLEEZ HELP!!

I purchased a laptop for my wife this past week (Ispiron 15 5548).  Along with the purchase I got her a wireless mouse because she is more comfortable using a mouse rather than the touchpad.  I have a fair bit of experience with Dell laptops, so I knew that the trackpad could be disabled automatically in the touchpad driver when a USB pointing device was detected.  When I went to do this, I discovered that the Dell TouchPad driver wasn't installed.  No problem, I downloaded it and installed it.  Now the Dell Touchpad tab shows up under Mouse Properties, but if I click on it or on "Click to change Dell Touchpad settings"", I see the HDD LED become active for a few seconds and then nothing, no window opens, no error message, nothing.  

I've tried to uninstall and re-install, install as Administrator, but nothing seems to fix this problem.  I appears to me that this is a driver/software issue.  Has anyone else run into this behavior?  Like I said I've used Dell laptops at various jobs and never ran into this issue before.

Dear friends, I wanted to know can I install Intel based graphics motherboard for my dell Inspiron N5010. I bought the pc with Intel i3 380 processor, 4 Gb ddr3 RAM, ATI Radeon 512 MB graphics card model 5470. Since my motherboard crashed and its not able to start and shut down within 15 sec. I am thinking to change the motherboard with Intel based graphics card. Will there be any compatibility issues? I am ready to change the laptop adapter if necessary. If there will not be any problem then suggest me which motherboard model will be suitable for that.

I have two of these systems with me, and every other day, some issue or other pops up with these laptops. The fun part is, the moment these went off their one-year warranty periods, brand new laptops started having software and hardware problems. Now I am struggling with the keyboard where it just randomly stopped working, and I cannot even log into my system. Tech solutions offered: "get new warranty or replace keyboard worth Re. 4000/-". Warranty is optional for customers! But the way this particular model has been built, it seems that it is only way for me to keep using my two laptops, with the other option being throwing away these new laptops of total worth $800. 

Considering the series of issues I have had with these two systems within just a year, I am bound to believe that the model is basically a faulty one. Since the systems are not old ones, since they are not misused, since they are off of warranty period just by a couple of months, I fail to understand why as a customer my only option is buying new hardware or new warranty?????

I am running windows 8.1 on an M3800. All my USB port has stopped working, not rececognizing any attached USB devices. Windows is not reacting at all, more then giving power to the device. 

I have scanned the net for a solution, updated my drivers and bios on the dell site, but come up short solving my problem. Doing the diagnostics on the Dell site for the USB ports, gave nothing since it states that they are working even though no connected devices comes up in there test. A have also done the diagnostics during startup (pressing the F12 key), uninstalled all my USB drivers, and installed them again. I have also tried "Plugable"'s workaround to use Intels USB drivers on win 8.1.

My Device mngr entry "USB 3.0 extensible Host controller" comes up both under USB Controllers (as working), and as an unknown device.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Hi , Wondering if anyone can help me , I've been having problems with the screen over the last few weeks , I had to replace the screen as it went in the corner for no reason , I also replaced the cable that goes to the motherboard. Everything worked fine but everytime i restarted the screen flickers and beeps 8 times. Someone has looked at it and says theres a problem with the video port on the motherboard and needs a new motherboard and due to the costs it's not worth it. The laptop is only 2 years old and dont really want to have to buy a new one. Is there anyway i can still use this or can i get repaired. I have tried to connect a HDMI but still nothing works.

Hi Everyone,

I just performed a clean install on my Inspiron 1750 (Windows 7). I've installed all of the drivers and I don't think I've missed anything.

However, the volume keys don't work. Other function keys seem to work fine, but every time I Fn+Volume up or down, nothing happens.

I changed ages ago the behaviour on the BIOS from multimedia keys to function keys, but it had been working fine till I reformatted.

Can anybody help?

Thanks!

Hello all

I've got a Dell Inspiron 1545 with 4GB ram, P8700, 60GB SSD.

I went to take my CPU out of my 1545 the other day as I got it from a previous owner and it ran abit warm so I got some Artic Silver 5 for it. Took it apart as you would expect but when removing the heatsink with all the screws undone it was really hard to remove still. I carefully removed it but once i had managed to remove it, it took out the CPU with the heatsink even though the cpu was "locked" into the socket. The previous owner had used some very very hard thermal paste and the CPU was stuck to the heatsink.

I tried to remove the CPU from the heatsink and the square in the centre actually cracked and fell apart half left on the heatsink half left on the CPU which iv never seen before. So i was like "great, new cpu time"...

So I ordered the same CPU it had in there (Core 2 Duo P8700, not sure of exact model number). It arrived today and is a P8700 SLGFE, I put it in with fresh thermal compound. Tightened it all up nicely and turned it on (on its battery). The light came on fan speeded up but... nothing on screen and after about 6-8 seconds the fan goes off and light goes off.

I then tried removing the battery, holding down the power button for 30 seconds and then putting the battery back in and having another go... no joy... tried it with the charger in, again no joy, tried it with no battery just the mains, no joy.

So i took it apart again had a good look at the socket, there doesn't appear to be any damage to it at all and when in the locked position i can see all the metal contacts are intact... Really confused with this... Can anyone help? I can't afford to buy another laptop.

Thanks in advance.

I continue to have issues with my Dell XPS 12 laptop. Last Thursday I turned on my computer but the screen would not come up. The power was on  and the keyboard lit up but nothing showed up on the screen. Dell sent out a tech on Friday to replace the motherboard which apparently had fixed the issue. However when trying to power up my laptop today all I get is a keyboard that flashes on and off and nothing shows up on the screen. Dell of course can't send a tech to check out until tomorrow and doesn't have a store that I can take the laptop to to try and fix today. Need suggestions or tips on what I could possibly do to try and get the laptop to work.

I have already tried holding down the power button for 5, 10, and 30 seconds, tried holding the function key and power button down at the same time but nothing has worked. I can't even power the laptop off now.

PLEASE HELP!

Has anyone ran into issues getting a replacement keyboard from dell under there warranty for the Inspiron 7737? I had to send my computer to there depot for them to fix stuff in the machine and when I got it back my keys on the keyboard stick. I called them close to two weeks ago and am still waiting on the part. I keep getting a song and dance from there tech support about back order.

I have paid good money for the Warranty and next day service and it has almost been two weeks. This is not typical of Dell usually. But, it has become such a sticking point to my wife that this might be the nail in the coughin for me buy more dells. She has even got to the point she wants to contact the Soliciting General to file a complaint.

SRN: 910356069

Everything is up to date in my file if Dell wants to contact me.

Hey guys, what's up!

I've recently bought a Dell Vostro 5470 in it simpliest version (Intel Core i3, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD). I found it awesome, it's really thin and light.

However, I've discovered something that made me ask if everything was okay with it. The right side of the notebook, where I rest my palm, gets a little bit warm... it's not something that would make me unconfortable, but you can easily realize this heat, since this side is warmer than the left. This is the area where the HD stays, right?

Is this normal? I've been monitoring the Hard Drive temperatures, and it's about 37~42ºC in normal navigation at internet.
