Good day,
So my Dell Inspiron were stolen roughly a month ago.
I've reported to dell and my local officers but did not heard from them again.
All things aside, I'm not hoping to get back my computer.
All I want is to know if by chance that I can lock my computer from other access or remove all my personal details from my computer since all my personal details are in my computer.
I'm not subscribe to lo-jack nor anything related.
I really appreciate for your advice and time.
Can the drive in the new Inspiron 13-7359 or the Inspiron 13 i7359-5984SLV be replaced/upgraded? I am looking at getting one of these for Christmas but I would like to or a larger dad drive the one I purchase.
Hello all
I've just bought a 3543 and upgraded to Win10 and installed all drivers but now I'm facing issues with touchpad. Whole of the right part of touchpad doesn't detect single-clicks or double-clicks (to use as right click), I can only use it for moving the cursor arrow. As I can move cursor, it shouldn't be a hardware defect. I tried to mess with lot of settings in 'Dell Touchpad' management interface but none solved this issue. I would appreciate some help.
I would also like to ask one more thing. I'm not sure if it's a defect or what, somebody please clarify it to me: I can press down whole of my touchpad (that is...not only those two buttons at the bottom but whole of the rectangle can be pressed down) and it is detected as a single left-click (NOTE: I'm not just touching it, I'm pressing it like a hard button). Is it a defect OR is it meant to be like that only?
Regards,

I just bought Dell inspiron 15 5000 series November 6 and it doing nicely until last week because I think I'm just using it for watching movies and surfing the web and last week I install games like shadow of mordor, splinter cell, resident evil revelations 2 and It works fine and after that I install steam dota 2, one piece pirate warriors and saints row IV and those three most of the time it freezes my screen, make the sound of tztztztztztz (I thought its broken when its like that) and keyboard wont work when the screen is froze or making the sound tztztztztztz. And when I restart it, it takes so long to boot not unlike when I first buy it, only few seconds and I'm in the desktop already.
Does this laptop have problems playing those games? I mean this laptop have 8gb ram and 4gb graphics card,my graphics card are updated and I'm using windows 10. Does this laptop have internal problems of some sort or what?

When I connected a 4K monitor with a HDMI cable the monitor was not recognised by the Windows 7 on my Alienware 17 Laptop. I am not sure if I need to use Windows key + P or one of the Function Keys. I can't find it written down anywhere so could anyone explain how to do this.
Thank-you.

Is there anyway to charge the latitude 7350 without the keyboard? so you don't have to lug the keyboard around? something that will fit the latitude port?
I have a 19.5V/3.34A output AC adapter from a Dell Hybrid PC...and I recently purchased an Inspiron One 2305 "all-in-one" for home...Dell never sent the AC adapter and their CS dept has NOT shipped me the missing AC adapter (been over a week). And I realize the Amperage required by the 2305 (up to 19.5V/6.7A) is less that the output of the AC adapter (19.5V/3.34A) bus wasn't sure if it'd FRY the adapter since the 2305 is requiring more power than the adapter can deliver (or does it?). Was going to use the adapter as a temp fix until Dell ships the missing AC adapter cord. I figured it best to get some advice. Hopefully Dell will ship my missing cord in a few days so just a temporary setback. Any advice appreciated, Thx MM
Hello everyone,
So recently i got a Dell Inspiron 3543 and in the laptop,there's one INPUT for headphone/mic.However,i got a headphone with mic which got 2 cable for each of them.So im going to buy a headphone splitter to be able to use audio and headphone at same time.However I got a small problem.When i'll put the splitter in the laptop,it will ask me to choose among these (check picture).Then i'll connect my headphone CABLES to the laptop,right?Well since i had to choose between that list (in the picture),How will i be able to use that headphone to listen and to use it as mic at same time?
Hey guys, I have a question. I have a Alienware 17 R3 and it used to be very quiet when using programs such as Chrome and Word. However some days ago I noticed that the fan never stops anymore. It isn't a loud sound but in quiet environments it can get very annoying. Someone have an idea of what I can do to fix this? It bugs me a lot.
What is wrong with this laptop? While online or working in applications (i.e., MS Word, Excel) etc., the computer takes over. It starts with a row of varying circles appearing, disappearing, growing in size, running along the right side of the monitor. Then the screen will zoom in then out, then other windows open -- print menus, customizing control menu bars, etc. -- all while I'm not even touching the computer. What the ***??? This is my first Dell-- bought it through a company discount program-- I'm absolutely disgusted with this thing. What's going on? Does anyone else have this problem?
Hello Every year I cleaning my laptop inside from dust and change thermal compound , never had problems before. Yesterday did same, i assemble all components back, turn on laptop and i hear 8 bios signals witch mean its something wrong with graphic ok i check again and i noticed i forgot to connect screen. turn on again and laptop does not respond. I've tried to play with battery and tricks with power button for 10s etc. I'v check also my charger and all components with multimeter everything is ok. When i plug charger and press power button i can see one led is on right top corner (attached pic.) and processor is warm. Is anyone know what i can check or got any advice because i totally have no idea what is wrong.
thank you John.
This is the follow up with my previous post: Upgrading Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit in Inspiron 1520. link: en.community.dell.com/.../19657523
So with my newly purchased 750 GB hard drive I purchased from Dell, I finally decided to reinstall Vista, using the Re-installation CD that came with the Laptop.
I thought everything went well until it came to the updates that many of them failed and at restart I got the following error:
Windows Error Recovery
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disk and restart the computer (didn't work)
2. Choose your language settings etc. etc.
3. Click 'Repair your computer'.
Other options:
If power was interrupted during startup, choose start windows normally (this was not the case)
Safe mode
Safe mode with networking
Safe mode with command prompt
Last known good configuration
Start windows normally
None of these work. No matter what I do, it kept looping back to this. On two different occasions I did get back into Normal Windows and try to continue with the updates but of course once it restarted -the same problem. This time nothing is working and my screen is stuck on the Error Recovery.
Can the fact that I set up different partitions before installation has anything to do with this problem?
I created partitions as, 1. for OS 120GB, 2. for my docs etc. that's 300GB, 3. 150GB did not format it, and about 40 GB of unallocated space.
I also don't know whether or not Windows auto created any system partition. I didn't see any indication of that.
When Windows first launched, and while the updates were downloading, I was trying to install my Norton Anti-virus at the same time. It stopped and told me that it cannot continue because it needed at least Vista Service Pack 1 to install. I closed it then.
System is Dell Insp 1520, 32 bit
Vista (had upgraded to Win 7 32 bit about a year after purchased)
Intel Core Duo CPU T5250, 1.50GHz
4GB RAM (upgraded from 2GB)
750 GB HD (purchased from Dell, upgraded from 160)
Same problem. My XPS 13 2015 is set so that the closed lid does not send the computer to sleep but a time period will . Often when waking it from sleep the screen will just fail to turn on. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to wake the screen other than restart. Help!
I re-insert the old HDD in the laptop, did restart a couple of times and everything works fine. So then, could the problem be with the brand new hard drive I purchased from Dell, the partition setup, or the multiple failing updates?
My integrated I Dell webcam video is not working after updating to Windows 10. I understand the Dell is not supporting this laptop model. I would not have updated to Windows 10 if I had known this in advance.
Any suggestions for getting my webcam up and running again? I need it for Skype.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a problem with my Dell insipiron r15 5558, I bought it 3 months ago. But since a month my laptop Beep's 8 times at the start-up. when it does I usualy just power off my laptop because of the annoying sound, and turn it back on. Once I powered it on and off for 3-4 times it doesn't beep anymore an works fine. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I ran an LCD Test as well as Pre-boot System Analysis,it ran well without any problems, i used my warrenty and sent the labtop to dell center here the last 2 weeks they sent it back and said there is no problem with my laptop , but it still beebing 8 times on clicking the power on <anyone knows more about this problem then please reply soon
PS. Sorry for my bad english
BTW. I'm was running Windows 8.1 pro 64 bits
i upgraded it to windows 10 and went back to 8.1 and the same problem
now im running Windows 8.1 pro 64 bits
I had a Dell Inspiron 15 7558 with a touch screen, and I did a clean install of Windows 10 to fix a virus. Afterwards, I found that none of the drivers on Dell's website include the touch screen. Does anyone know where I can find the touch screen driver for this laptop? If not, does anyone even know the model of touch screen it uses?
