Hi,
Hopefully someone can clarify this for me.
I see for a lot of drivers a release date and a later last update date for the same version.
How can I know what if anything has changed. If I have this driver already installed, should i update it? Why is the update not using a new release version number?
Regards

Inspiron 7537 15 laptop wireless card - disappeared

$

My laptop (Dell Inspiron 7537 running Windows 8.1) has lost all ability to connect wirelessly.

When looking in Device Manager, the card doesn't appear any more (it used to), and I can't see any networks unless the ethernet cable is plugged in.

Bluetooth works. All drivers have been updated according to Intel's Prosite thing.

Laptop (and Dell Support contract) are out of warranty by a couple of months.

I've run the diagnostic tests on the Dell Support site (when connected via ethernet) and it says everything is fine. If I disconnect the ethernet cable, the site obviously can't load so won't do any diagnostics.

Is there any way to revive my network card? Does it need to be replaced?

Cheers for any assistance!

My wife's Inspiron 14R has served her well the last 4 years and she really likes the size and features. Anything I can do to breathe some fresh life into it? I don't mind scouring used parts on eBay - kept my Precision 490 ticking for 8 years doing that. What upgrades make the most sense? Memory? Hard drive? CPU? Here's the current configuration: Intel Core i5-2 410M 2.3GHz 4GBx1 1333MHz DDR3 Intel HD Graphics 3000 1.6GB DVM 640GB 5400 RPM SATA HD Thanks for any help/suggestions!

Studio XPS 1640 - Battery drain following shutdown with Windows 10 - Solution

$
0
0

Since successfully upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 a while back I have noticed that the laptop's battery drains to about 0% charge following a Shut down faster than before the upgrade. The laptop and battery are a few years old, so part of the accelerated draining could be the battery age, but this was a significant difference immediately following the upgrade.

What would happen: Battery fully charged, laptop shut down, laptop disconnected from charger and sitting unused for 2-3 days, attempt startup, get message at startup that battery charge is low. After connecting charger and successful start up, battery shows charging with current charge of almost 0%. Battery successfully gets to full charge when connected to charger.

By the way, I'm talking Shut down, not hibernate or sleep.

After ignoring this behavior for a while, I did a few searches and tried the following with success.

I went in to Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Change settings that are currently unavailable, and under Shutdown settings I unchecked the the box for "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" option.

I just started the laptop after sitting disconnected from charger for 10 days, and turning "Fast Startup" off appears to have addressed the battery draining issue. Battery was at about a 60% charge and laptop started up fine without connecting charger.

This was the only configuration change I made for weeks prior to this cycle. Windows 10 had all current updates applied, including November update (Threshold 2).

I hope this helps anyone having a similar issue.

So I have an Inspiron 5758 that was shipped with a 45 watt power adapter. Do to a cat issue that cord no longer works.  I went to order a new one and all that I can order is a 65 watt one.  Now I do know the Inspiron 5000 series was designed for both but I was not sure if one model had the 45 and another had 65.  Can anyone direct me to which one I should get?

 

Thanks

Hi

I have a dell xps 15 l502x with wifi card intel n1030. The wifi card and chipset both located right under the touchpad(chipset left side of touch pad, wifi right side). 

Recently the right side of the touchpad been getting really hot where the wifi card located. First I thought it could be the wificard problem. So I swapepd the n1030 with a N-6230. It still overheats so I replace it again with intel's latest n7260. However the right side of the touchpad is still getting really hot to uncomfortable level. 

I don't know what the problem is, tried swapping card 3 times didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks


Dell Inspiron 11 - 3147 Error on Restart

For the last couple of month (after the latest Windows 10 update), my Inspiron 11 - 3147 has been buggy on startup. I have it fixed to the point it boots okay, but any time I power up from a restart, it hangs after the Dell logo disappears unless I swipe the screen, then my sign in screen appears. Annoying...I've done everything imaginable from every forum to fix my boot problem, but can't find a solution to this error. 

XPS 15 9530 No Power

$

So I have a 9530 that was one week out of warranty when I was unable to get any life out of the laptop at all.


I will start by saying that in the year that I've had the laptop, I have never been able to start the system if it has been plugged in (push button an no response), but if I POST from the battery and then plug in the power, the battery will charge.


Over the holidays I did not use the laptop and now presume that the battery has discharged to the point where it will not start on it's own.  Of course it still will not start if the charger is plugged in.  So it's a Catch-22.


I opened the back and disconnected the battery with charger connect - no joy

Pushed button to discharge with charger disconnected then plugged in - no joy

Reconnected battery after discharge - no joy

Loosened the charger port from the body - no joy (returned port to normal)


Purchased a new power supply and repeated the above - no joy.


So over the past week I have absolutely no indication that the laptop is alive in anyway.  No LED indicators, no fan spins, etc.


Does anyone have any other ideas before I spend $300-$400 of after-warranty repair to fix a poor design problem?  Thanks!

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 5520 laptop with an Intel Core i7, running Windows 10 Pro and Ubuntu 15.10. I primarily use Ubuntu because Windows 10 was a huge mistake I made from Windows 8.1. The other night (~4 days ago), I go to my laptop with my Kindle. I downloaded a PDF book which I used calibre to convert to Amazon format to then transfer to my Kindle. When everything was complete, I plugged in my Kindle to my computer. It wasn't showing up (Ubuntu doesn't make those little "ding!" noises).  I tried using a different cable. No joy. I decided to sleep on it. Two days ago, I did some research on it and I decided that it was a hardware problem. In the BIOS settings, it is set that USB is turned on. What could be wrong?
