INSPIRON

I purchased a DELL INSPIRON at a special price. WHAT A DISASTER. Windows 10 took up 90% of the disk space.

No wonder DELL nearly went bankrupt and delisted from the stock market.  I will NEVER buy another DELL product.

Tell this to MICHAEL DELL.

Dell Latitude e5450 second hard drive

0
0

Config: Latitude e5450, 2015 release with 5th generation i5-5300U, 8GB Mem, 500 GB 7.2 HDD, 1080P

I would like to add a second hard drive (SSD) to my laptop - I only see a 2.5" hard drive slot that's pre-occupied with 500GB 7.2K HDD. Many will tell me to upgrade my current disk to a SSD and but that's not what I want - I need to add another disk that is SSD into the system vs upgrade the existing.

Per manual, I do not see this guy has mSATA slot (it can have mSATA SSD with conversion kit on the same 2.5" SATA slot) and since this guy doesn't have a DVD ROM, I won't be able to convert that as another option either. I do see it has WWAN slot that's empty and can easily fit 2242mm size SSD but I'm reading at forums that the WWAN slot is NOT SATA based, but rather PCIe based and it must be M.2 standard. Can this be confirmed? Also, can the wifi card be confirmed as being sata based or pcie based?

If the WWAN port is SATA based, I see a lot of options for SSDs from MyDigital, Transcend and other guys but if this is PCIe based, the only thing I find is 2280mm from Samsung, SM951. That size will not work as I need 2242 at max. Any other options?

Also, I see 4 options of SATA based devices in BIOS named "SATA-0", "SATA-1", "SATA-2" & "SATA-3". I have them all enabled. What are each of these for? One for certain is 2.5" HDD, no idea what rest is for.

Thanks in advance.

Old Inspiron 1501

Hi

I have an OLD Inspiron 1501 with the Sempron CPU.  I see I can still buy these used on eBay or even Amazon. 

Will this motherboard allow me to drop a Turon, Turon 64 or even a Turon 64 X2 right into the motherboard?

Thanks

Inspiron 15 3520 Right side USB Ports not working

0
0

The two USB ports on the right side of my Inspiron 15 3520 don't work.

My hard drive died, and I replaced it. After reloading Windows 7 and the downloaded drivers, the ports no longer work.

They worked before the reload. I don't think it's a hardware problem.

Any suggestions?

Dell XPS 12 - SM Bus Controller driver

0
0

Hi all,


After re-installing Windows 8.1 on my XPS 12 laptop, I cannot find a driver for the "SM Bus Controller" device.

I used Dell's System Detect software to install the latest graphics and chipset drivers. Each time I run web detection it recommends the "Intel Management Engine Interface Driver (Chipset_Driver_KG6NF_WN_10.0.28.1006_A02)", which I've installed (multiple times) and rebooted. The device remains unknown to Windows.

Hardware IDs:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C22&SUBSYS_05E31028&REV_04
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C22&SUBSYS_05E31028
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C22&CC_0C0500

Dell xps17 (l702x) laptop won't turn on

This afternoon I tried turning on my laptop which had been working fine this morning and it won't turn on. I tried unplugging everything then holding down the power button for 30 seconds then plugging in the A/C adapter and turning it on/holding down the power no luck. When I plug in the cord with the battery in aswell I don't get the usual white light indicating that the cable is connected or the battery is charging. I also checked the battery itself and the charge indicator on the battery says it's full and the blue ring on the cord is also lit up. If anyone has any suggestions on what's wrong or how to fix it please let me know.

Inspiron 1720 reboots at Bios post since system restore

0
0

For various reasons including slow machine, "Caution" on hard drive health monitor and because I felt like it, I cloned the hard drive to a new one (of matching size) using Acronis, then switched it out with the new one.  Machine booted normally.  I updated the BIOS from A03 to A09.  Machine booted normally.

I performed a system restore and after the BIOS progress bar completes, the machine goes into an eternal cycle of hard resets.  I fiddlefaddled around for a while, then finally swapped the drives back.  The machine booted with the original drive so I cloned it again, swapped back and performed a system restore with the same results - eternal BIOS progress bar/hard reset loop.

Suggestions?

My Dell inspiron N5110 keeps rebooting on its own after startup and after I shut it down too.

0

My laptop keeps on rebooting on its own. I can't seem to get the time to access the recovery point or any solutions from the web asking me to follow the resolved steps since it keeps on rebooting. Plus my laptop has slowed down too.

The only option is to take out the battery to keep the laptop turned off but  whenever I reconnect the battery, it automatically turns on again and after startup, about 5 mins, it reboots itself. This cycle keeps on going. 

Can anyone help please.

XPS13 Touchpad - no right-click

0
0

Dear Comunnity,

Since two weeks I have a XPS13 (9343) running Win 8.1 Pro and face an odd problem:
Using my standard windows account, the right-click of the touchpad is not working, i.e. instead of a right-click, it does a left-click (which makes the XPS quite useless). Two-finger-scrolling is working and with an external mouse, right-click is working, too. In the "PC settings"> "Mouse and Touchpad", I only have options for Mouse, but not for Touchpad.
Funnily enough, when I log on with another windows account, e.g. our Admin's account, the right-click is working properly and in "PC settings" I have the Touchpad options which mention "You have a precision touchpad installed". So what's the difference between the two accounts?

I have read a lot about problems of the Precision Touch Pad using Wind8.1, but didn't find a solution. Win10 is not allowed in my company, so no option for me.

What I tried (without any improvement):

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks a lot!

Dell XPS 12 9Q23 Touch Screen Firmware Issue

0
0

Hi,

I Have a issue with my touch screen now. I got it working perfect but as soon as Windows 10 did its auto update it has caused the touch screen to stop working. I've tried installing all different Atmel maxTouch Drivers but they all failed and now i cant even install the Dell driver package as it comes up with a system error "This update is not applicable to your system", I've even reinstalled windows 8.1 and tried to install the dell drivers but no luck still, it just keeps coming up in Device Manager as HID-compliant Device & HID-compliant touch screen.

I need the drivers without the installer or the update utility for the Atmel device.

Please help as I need the touch screen for work and I know that the touch screen part has no issues it just has the wrong firmware but I have no idea how to remove or restore the original firmware/drivers.

Kind Regards.
