Windows 10 Drivers for Dell Vostro 3450

0
0

Dell has not published official Windows 10 Drivers for Vostro 3450. But the following drivers work quite well (you can search the name in internet to get the download link). The drivers have been listed as per their installation order.

  1. Intel Chipset Device Software - SetupChipset.exe from Intel Website
  2. Intel Management Engine Interface Driver - Chipset_Driver_0F63X_WN32_11.0.0.1158_A01.EXE
  3. Dell USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver - HostDriver_V3.6.8.0.exe
  4. Realtek RTS5128 Card Reader Driver - 003-RtsXStor_10.0.370.102.zip
  5. Intel Rapid Storage Technology -3540_Serial-ATA_Driver_KK61F_WN_12.8.2.1000_A01.EXE
  6. Realtek HD Audio ALC269 Driver - vista_win7_win8_r271.exe
  7. Realtek RTL8111E Gigabit Ethernet Controller Driver - Inbuilt in Windows 10 and requires no driver download
  8. Dell QuickSet - Application_Dell_A01_W8164-SETUP_ZPE.exe
  9. Synaptics Fingerprint Sensor Driver - Security_Driver_6KKVY_WN32_4.5.289.0_A00.EXE

  11. Touchpad driver is bit complicated and requires the following steps:
    1. Install Synaptic Dell Touchpad Driver - Synaptic_v19_0_19_1_C_x86-x64_Win10.zip
    2. Restart
    3. Select the driver manually from Device Manager (Browse computer for driver-> Let me pick from a list of device drivers-> uncheck Show compatible hardware-> select Synaptics -> Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad)
    4. Restart
    5. Run the registry editor (regedit)
    6. Go to key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Synaptics\SynTP\Defaults\
    7. Here create a new key as a DWORD and name it as 'HasBothButtonFeature' without the quotes and set the value to 1.
    8. Log off and Log on again
    9. Open Synaptics Control Panel and edit touchpad settings
  12. ST Microelectronics Free Fall Motion Sensor Driver - Chipset_Driver_CGGCK_WN32_4.11.0067_A00.EXE
  13. If not already completed, Update Intel GPU Driver
  14. AMD AMD Radeon™ HD 6630M (Whistler-LP) - amd-catalyst-15.7.1-win10-64bit.exe
  15. Update Driver for Genetic Bluetooth Device to get Dell Wireless 1701  Bluetooth 3.0+HS

Dell 15" Touch Laptop, Win 8.1 Intel Core i5 8GB RAM, won't start

Yesterday when I tried to turn on my computer it refused to turn on. The charging light is not coming on. I removed the battery and it will not start from just AC power either. Somtimes the light comes on as it it is going to start but goes straight back off and at other times it comes on but never boots up as if it is in perpetual sleep mode. Anybody have any ideas?

Particular product key download and install into Dell laptop

Hi

Better I start with confession that i tampered the installation in my laptop. This realise that i should reload operating system with genuine original configuration. Beneath the laptop i find my Microsoft Windows sticker with it's product key. Unfortunately the Windows version of XP Home edition of the one particular product key mentioned on my laptop is not with me as now and further. I end the post by asking that can we get a product key (particular) based windows download?

Dell Inspiron 7520 knobs not working

The three knobs at the upper right corner of the laptop (for Dell instant launch, audio and mobility center) in my Del Inspiron 7520 are not working. When I press any one of them, the knob lights up for a while, then nothing happens. I have checked via Dell Update that all my drivers are up to date. I have also run a diagnostic and everything seems to be OK. Running on win 10. Thanks for any inputs!

My Inspiron 13 7347 sometimes freezes/Cortana bar doesn't work (Windows 10 bugs?)

0

Occasionally, everything I have open and the taskbar will freeze up. Everything except Chrome, that is. It's weird how everything- games, sticky notes, Spotify- freezes while Chrome still functions fine. The only solution is to restart the PC and I lose pretty much everything except what was on Chrome. Is anyone else having this problem and know how to help? 

Also, another problem I have is that my search/Cortana bar won't work. It started working fine since I downloaded Windows 10, but all of the sudden it just stopped. This isn't a huge problem, I mean, what's Google for? But, again, is anyone else having this problem?

Defective Touchpad on an XPS 15 9530

0
0

I have an XPS 9530 I received as a gift.   It's my first Dell, so when I started using the touchpad and it had an odd feel, I assumed it was a unique feel to Dell laptops.  Over time, the touchpad went from feeling almost wobble like to very firm and the left and right buttons will stick - making the computer very difficult to operate until it unsticks.

There is a one year warranty on the laptop and when I contacted dell for help, they said that certain parts of the computer are repaired through Best Buy and other parts through Dell.  Best Buy says it will cost $150 and they will send it to Dell anyway.  When I ask Dell and Best Buy why I am charged $150 for something covered under warranty, no one has an answer.  Customer service on both sides has been completely useless.  With any contact after the first one hour conversation with Dell being a complete waste of time.

Has anyone had a similar issue with the touchpad and/or efforts trying to get a warranty issue resolved?  Any fixes for the touchpad that doesn't involve Best Buy or Dell?  I've never had to take a computer for repair 1. because none have failed in warranty, and 2. I build my own desktops and upgrade / repair my own laptops - and none has failed this miserably.

Thanks.

BIOS Update/UEFI For Dell Latitude E6400

0
0

Hello. I've discovered that a Core 2 Quad Q9000 should be compatible with my Dell Latitude E6400. No, it isn't recommended to install, however, I am not worried about overheating or anything of the sort.

When I tried installing it, BIOS would not start. The screen gave no display, and the num/caps/scroll lock were on, one of them flashing.

It's come to my attention that the BIOS may be too outdated for a Core 2 Quad Q9000, so I'm wondering if I could install a Precision M2240 BIOS or UEFI on the laptop to get things working. I'd really like to get this working because I already spent the money and have the processor, and I don't plan on upgrading.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Missing Software From 9550 Support Page

Looks like Dell suddenly pulled most of their software from the support site for the XPS 15 (9550) See:https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/servicetag/CD5F462/drivers?s=DHS

For example, the bluetooth drivers, the color tuning app, and others are suddenly gone. This coincided with the Windows 10 November update and much of the missing software is now available from Windows Update. However, some of the software is not (the display color tuning software), for example is now gone and doesn't seem to be available anywhere.  Any insights?

Studio 17: missing windows 10 drivers

0

Hello,

I've tried to install Windows 10 on my Studio 1737 (currently running Windows 7)

I wasn't able to find better/newer than a Windows 7 Intel PM45 chipset driver version

After that install 2 devices where not correctly installed: Ven:Dev 8086:2448 & 8086:2919

Additionally the Bluetooth 370 module doesn't show up in the peripheral list.

So does any body succeed installing Windows 10 on Studio 1737 ?

Latitude E5510 dim numlock LED

0

I got a beaten-up Latitude E5510 with a defective screen. It seems to be working fine otherwise but the numlock LED is dimmer than the rest.

I opened it up and noticed that the LEDs on the motherboard are colored bright yellow whereas the numlock one is a darker shade of yellow, differing from the rest.

Any idea what that means? Is it dying? Should I be worried about the motherboard itself?
