BIOS update keeps failing - any solution welcome

$

My laptop is an Inspiron 7737 running Windows 8.1 with DELL BIOS A4.

Updating BIOS to version A13 has not been possible from a Windows environment.

I''ve set up a bootable USB key using RUFUS 2.2 but the key is not recognized by UEFI and Windows just boots regularly.

Boot priority has been directed to USB storage, removable drive and DVD ... but still doesn't work.

Even using Advanced Booting, use this device and selecting each option alternatively (multiple attempts) resulted in the same Windows regular boot.

Tried booting by rapidly pressing F2, F12, Fn+F2, Fn+F12 etc... has no effect. Anyone else with the same problem? Did you find a solution?

On the bright side, I am able to boot from the same key when installed with the Windows Media Creator for Windows10 so it shows that the key is bootable.

Has anyone been able to boot from a USB key and update their drivers from BIOS / UEFI? If yes, which application did you use to set up the USB key?

Thx in advance!

Hi, 

I tried upgrading my laptop to windows 10 but after reloading withing 15 secs I am getting  an error message about internal power failure. Googling the issue, points out other owners are facing the same issue when upgrading to Win10. And it is due to AMD Graphics Driver. 

Any solutions ? 

Thanks

Hi, 

I'm having issue with my keyboard, long before, my laptop's keyboards are ok, but then suddenly the number keys started to have issues, numbers except 5 and 6 were sometimes not functioning. Sometimes I need to press many times or press long for it to get it work, whenever I power it up, it always comes to this issue, I already contact Dell about it, and able to send my laptop to them for warranty, and they only did was reseat the keyboard connection.Still, my keyboard had issues, the same issues as before. I don't know how they diagnose this, but it didn't help.

i hope someone can help me with this.

Hi,

Recently my dell studio 1558, got shut down automatically, when i booted up, It looked like that in safe mode, with big-big icons and got an error message saying " Please install ATI Graphics card driver",

I tried installing new driver software from Dell site as well as from AMD website, but both were unsuccessful, installation halted with error message " Graphics hardware not found"

I tried to downgrade BIOS as my laptop's current version is A12, but that too was unsuccessful, got an error saying " You already have a newer version and it can't be downgraded"

I ran Boot time,Diagnostics test and Display test got following Beep patterns/Error codes

Err code : 0152

Err code: 0334

Please help me troubleshoot, is it Graphics card problem or cable problem or Motherboard problem.?

Thanks,

Ranjan

i recently formated my dell xps 17 l702x.

After the installation of the windows 7, Device manager did not recognize the Wifi / Ethernet / Sound/ Monitor etc. controllers. I downloaded basic drivers, from the dell Product Support site, suitable for my system. Now everything seem to work ok.

My only problem is that Divice manager keep not regognising a divice (divice manager refers to it as a unknown divice). I have no idea what that divice could be or how to find its driver.


Moreover how can I check that my system is workink fine and every neccesery driver is installed on?

Thank you in advance.

Since a month or 2 I own a 7350 2in1. Like the machine but every now and then I have difficulties turning it on. While docked I press the power button nothing happens, press it a bit longer nothing. Unplug power from dock and put it back in sometimes fixes it or removing the screen and putting it back works. All in all a bit of a hit and miss re how to fix it.

I bought a USB 3 Ethernet dongle (realtek chipset)  for my 7350. Getting this to work / keeping this working is a pain. I can plug it in and starts working straightaway or I plug it in and get a Windws message that the USB device was not recognised last time, I have tried pluging it in before turning on the laptop but again that sometimes works an sometimes it doesn't.

Had this issue on W8.1 and was kinda hoping W10 would fix this but to no avail.

Latitude E5220 - Power Adapter

After about 4 years of using the same laptop and the power adapter that came with it, I started to get the following "Dell Feature Enhancement Pack" message pop up when I plug in my laptop...


"The power adapter attached to your notebook is not recognized.  Please insert a 65 watt Dell approved power adapter"

As a result, my battery is not draining when plugged in, but it is also not charging.  Is my only option to buy a new power adapter?  Or is it something more along the lines of "might as well buy a new laptop"?

Any advice/help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

In my Inspiron 15 (3537), even after shutdown the power status LED light and wireless LED light keeps glowing on.  Only after long pressing the Power button the lights go off.

Even after unplugging from the A.C. main the light remains.

Please let me know how to solve this problem.

I have a Dell WM615 Bluetooth mouse. It was working well but then stopped scrolling, i.e., nothing happens when I move my finger along the scroll strip. The keys still work fine. I've tried the scrolling in various programs and it doesn't work in any of them. I have a Dell XPS 15 and the Dell Update software says that the system is up to date.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Have to reinstall windows on e6400 no media can't access recovery

So I was asked if I could look at a laptop for a friend.  She said her windows doesn't start.  Well it does less than that.  I used another machine to look at the hdd (which is apparently not the original this one was manufactured in 2013) the drive doesn't even tell me the size from inside windows.  It's only option available is to format.

The recovery partition is still present.  

So I thought I would try to format and reinstall windows.  Cannot access the advanced boot options access the recovery partition. The back panel has no stickers  so i have no idea what was on it,  no product key to install  fresh windows,  and no service tag to be able to get media from dell.  

I found out the laptop was a donation from the local bank to her after her house burned down and am thinking that's why the stickers have been removed.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
