Dell XPS 13 L321X trackpad issues after Windows 10 update

0
0

After updating to windows 10, the trackpad no longer works properly. There is no clicking or scrolling so I have resorted to using a mouse. This is clearly to do with the cypress trackpad drivers not being optimized to Windows 10. The suggestions in this forum post for the newer XPS 13 to reinstall the drivers don't work either: en.community.dell.com/.../19622085

Am waiting for a driver update from Dell.

Any other solutions are very welcome as I'm sure there are many other XPS 13 users in the same situation.

it suddenly stop working, it does not open. so, i went to a dell shop in mall, they are not a servicing outlet but the employee tried to fix it. so he open and check everything and concluded that it is the motherboard. But i did not went to the service center because its too far from my place.
i have a friend who have a dell inspiron 3421 (defective display/monitor) but different in specs. 
My question is can i use the mother board of his laptop and put it in my laptop? and even switch my original processor to the processor of his laptop? which processor is faster?
this is some of the specs of his laptop:
intel celeron 4th gen 
4gb ram 
500gb hdd 
intel r hd graphics
by the way i'm more of a laptop user than a techy guy.
thank you so much!

Hi Guys,

I just installed windows 10 32 bit on my Inspiron 3442 (Early 2014). Everything else is working fine except the touchpad. I looked at the device manager and I have three Unknown Products. The Hardware IDs for all three are the and are as below 

ACPI\VEN_INT&DEV_33C2&REV_0004
ACPI\VEN_INT&DEV_33C2
ACPI\INT33C2
*INT33C2

I googled the IDs and found out that its the Intel Serial IO Controller. I tried finding drivers for it but cant find the 32 bit drivers.. 

Please help.

I am trying to find the right power jack for an early 2011 L502X. Has anyone purchased one before and/or replaced this part? The laptop still works great for its intended purpose, I just need to replace the power jack since it no longer accepts any power adapters.

Thanks

error sending end of POST message to ME

Hi,

having a little problem with my E6510 at work.
The problem started 2 days ago (no change in hardware or software.)
It takes forever to boot up, stucks for a while on boot screen then continues.
After a while there an error message saying "error sending end of POST message to ME".
Then it continues and boots up into windows.

The startup time went from 15 seconds to 2-3 minutes.

While in Windows, device manager I got Intel(R) Management Engine Interface and Intel(R) Active Management Technology with error code 10, this device cannot start.

I've tried everything, disabling the driver, formating the pc, updating the driver but the problem persist.
Please can someone give me some tips or workaround this problem?

Tried the Dell again today, formatted installed windows 7 pro with SP1, then tried to upgrade to Win10 via USB, got the same error as in the picture above.

So we know it isnt because of any software on the Dells because they only have win 7 sp1 and nothing else.

E6520 Windows 10?

0
0

Howdy,

I have an E6520 laptop running Windows 7 Pro.  I'm having trouble getting it to install Windows 10 and am just wondering if anyone has had any luck getting this to work.  I get as far as 84% and then the screen goes black.  An hour or two later it will reboot and restore me back to Windows 7.

I don't know if it's a hardware thing or a driver thing or what.  Has anyone gotten Windows 10 to install on an E6520 via an Upgrade from Win7?  If not I may look into trying a fresh install.

Thanks.

update to windows 10 pro failed

Hi,

I have dell xps 15 L502X, day before yesterday I got the windows update message that update to windows 10 failed. I was not there when it failed. I tried to recheck at night, but it was not showing up. So I followed few suggestions which resulted in my update history being reset and now I do not know how to get the update. 

Now when I check update, it shows there are no new updates. But I still havent got the windows 10 message again. DId I loose it forever or is there any way to get it back? I am very much *** off at this sort of idiocracy from microsoft. They should have given message before try to update windows.

Is this drivers issue? Chipset drivers for win 10?

E6510 not detecting nvidia card

0
0

I bought a refurbished e6500 from bestbuy. They sent me an e6510 instead. I don't mind (should i?).

The laptop isn't detecting the nvidia card that is supposed to be in there. I downloaded all the Windows updates, and I tried to install the graphic driver from dell.com but it says I don't have the supported hardware.

I then did a system restore (which fixed a WiFi problem) but now windows update is getting an error. Grrr.

I also checked the bios, but I don't see anything relevant to the graphics card. Anyone have any ideas?
