Dell N5050 shows NO wireless adapter in device manager after re-installing Windows 7 PLEASE HELP

$

Hi, I have an N5050, that my original HDD crashed, and I lost everything.  I installed a new SSD 300gb drive, & reinstalled windows 7.  I also installed three drivers;

R307625.exe

N5050A05.EXE

and

R308434.exe.  

The BIOS flashed successfully, and the audio works fine, however the only aspect of networking that may work is the NIC card, which I do not use.  There is NO wireless adapter(s) even present in the device list.

Does it matter in what order they are installed?

Thinking the install order mattered, I tried re-flashing the BIOS, but that failed.


I purchased this unit in December of 2013, and according to the Dell service tag, it is well out of warranty.  Any help, or suggestions, are most certainly appreciated.


USB question

I'm sure this has been answered a thousand times.....but I've read thru many responses and not found a solution.


I have a Dell 5520 laptop.  My USB ports do not work.

I downloaded the driver from the website and when I install it the USB's will work.

The issue is at the end of install it says to restart computer.  If I restart the USB's don't work.

I have to re-install the driver.  As long as I don't restart everything works fine.

If I have to restart for any reason then I have to reinstall the driver.


Obviously this is just silly and I need to resolve the issue any advice would be appreciated.

Restoring Laptop to Factory Setting

Hello There

I have had my Dell XPS 14Z for around 4 years now, and have got a new computer. In the process of trying to reformat it i discovered the RECOVERY partition. I have reinstalled Windows in the time I have had my laptop, thus removing the recovery tool i need to boot to the RECOVERY. I had a breif look around the forums and tried to use the Dell Backup and Recovery tool (v1.7 or something) and it says that my RECOVERY partition is missing or corrupted. However, i have not done anything to the RECOVERY partition, just to Windows. Do I need a different tool or something or is there not a way to do it anymore?

Thanks,

Adam

Hey,

My Dell V131 won't power on while the internal LCD is attached to the MB. It works fine when I plug in my external monitor and detach the LCD. As soon as I plug in the LCD charger's led turns off. It  still beeps and indicates that there is a problem with the screen when powering on using the external screen.

I've tried swapping out the screen, unplugged all unnecessary components, used another charger, all that regular stuff.

Can You Speak to Dell Through This Site?

Apologies - I'm new to this site although I do have some threads.  Is this site supported by a community of volunteers who try and help with problems or are there any actual Dell representatives who help?   I am having trouble installing a driver on a laptop that I purchased because Dell says it has been certified for Windows 10.  I have had some suggestions on my specific thread but I need support from Dell - is there a specific site where Dell actually help you rather than other users?  Dell must know how the drivers on their web site are installed - I think I need at this stage, if possible, to speak to them directly.  Many thanks.

For my recently bought E5570 Latitude I bought an new/bigger/faster SSD.

It's the Samsung 950 PRO with the PCIe connection and NVMe support.

I have created an Windows 10 install USB to doe a fresh install but windows does not see/detect the drive.

I have checked drives the BIOS and this shows the M.2 PCIe SSD-0 drive, show the system does detect the drive.

Did anyone already come accross this issue?
And if so how did you solve it?

I tried to find drivers to load during setup but did not find any.

hello guys, I think i had a power surge last night at home and two of my laptops died. My XPS LED lights will go on but fan wont spin and screen stays black. I took it apart, removed cmos battery left it unplugged for like an hour and still no luck with it.

I am guessing that the motherbard has been damaged with a power surge since my other laptop died and has the same exact problem.

Where can i find a replacement motherboard? Can i Install the i7 motherboard even tho my xps came with an i5? Does the heatsink and rest of the parts remain the same between the i5 and i7?

I have an inspiron 15 7000 series, that powers on but will display no video.  The monitor backlight comes on and funny thing is that connecting an external monitor works and I can use the touch display on the laptop screen to move the mouse on the external monitor.  So do I have a bad lcd display if the backlight and touchscreen components work or is it another issue?
