My Inspiron 5737 is not listed but there are other Dell Inspiron models that use exactly the same accessories as mine such as batteries, ac adapters etc.

Can someone confirm that Dell Power Companion PW7015L is or is not comaptible with mine Dell Inspiron 5737?

XPS 9350 and Dock with 180W Adapter (4W2HW) COnnection Issue

$

I recently purchased a $200 dell dock station for my Dell XPS 13 9350. I hooked up ethernet cable, audio cable, external webcam, a WD MyBook, and a usb hub with my wireless keyboard and mouse on it. I connected my dock to my laptop using the USB-C cable but I ran into some annoying issue: The internet keep switching between ethernet and wifi and it would make the USB plugged in/unplugged sound once in a while. The mouse and keyboard receiver are completely unusable so I have to plug it directly to the laptop. 

The weird thing is if I unplug the ethernet cable then everything is fine!? I am confused and annoyed because I just paid $200 to have my desk cleaned, and only have to use one cable for everything but seems like the dock can't even get the job done. Is it because of the lack of bandwidth? Someone help me please! Also, I have updated ALL drivers to the most recent one, so please spare me on that solution.

My wifi kept dropping with the WIndows 10 upgrade on the Inspiron 7347 so I swapped out the adapter with an Intel 7265 and it worked perfectly for the last 3 weeks until suddenly this morning, the computer stopped detected the adapter.  I checked to make sure no wires had come loose.  I even swapped in the old one.  It seems like the computer is simply not detecting any wifi cards any longer.  Any idea of what my have gone wrong?  (I used the CTRL+PRT SCRN to ensure the computer wasn't in airplane mode, too).

How to disable Dell software?

$
0

I am having some issues with some of Dell's installed software on a Windows 10 laptop.

1. I uninstalled a driver for the Dell TB15 since I no longer have the dock. Dell update decided to reinstall it.

2. I disabled the two services for the Dell Data Vault when I found it was creating a lot of what I considered unwanted disk activity I don't use or need this service.

3. Somehow Dell Update was re-enabled and reinstalled Dell Data Vault.

4. Dell seems to install these updates without even asking for permission. [following Microsoft's lead].

Is there any way of controlling these software programs other than uninstalling them? There does not seem to be individual entries in "Programs and Features" for a number of these so I would guess I would have to uninstall the lot which is unfortunate since I do like the Support Assist System Summary of Changes, Updates, and Problems.

Dell Inspiron 15 5555 and Ubuntu

$

Just picked up this Inspiron from a Microsoft store with Windows 10 pre-loaded. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on it and I'm having issues. I've already changed the bios settings that pertain to UEFI and Secure Boot. I'm able to install Ubuntu but upon reboot I get a black screen. If I change the settings back from Legacy to UEFI, Dell's bios kicks in and says that there's something wrong with my hard drive.

Is this laptop "locked" to Windows OS only? Did I miss a setting somewhere? I searched and the Inspiron 5000 series is sold with Ubuntu on it. I've also checked if Ubuntu 14.04 is compatible and it is.

I've called Dell support and all I got was the run around. What should I do? I don't mind returning it and finding something else, but I would like to know why it isn't possible - if that's the outcome.

Cursor keeps jumping and clicking when Iaptop is on charge

I have an Inspiron laptop problem that has been driving me mad for the last few weeks, I have been searching for different solutions through the forums but to no avail.

When my laptop is not on charge, the laptop works fine but as soon as I put it on charge and try to use it the cursor bounces all over the place and doesn't let me use laptop. I have checked that I have the latest drivers, updated the BIOS but still nothing. I can plug my mouse in and it works fine when on charge but still doesn't solve the issue for like this weekend where I have forgot to bring it with me.

Any advice would be greatly appreicated

Regards

I just ordered a AW17R3 and it will come with an US keyboard.

As I'm French, I'd like to order a replacement Fr keyboard and have it installed on my laptop.

Could this be done without voiding the warranty ?

If so, please tell me how I should proceed.

Thank you

Precision M6700 and updated Intel Rapid Storage driver

$

Dell has an updated driver of IRST IRST_Driver_Intel_A13_WIN_0FGYV_f6flpy-x64-SETUP_ZPE.exe, but this does not include the control panel utility to monitor and administer the raid volumes. The utility still listed, Serial-ATA_Driver_404F9_WN_11.2.0.1006_A02.EXE, does not work with the newer driver and crashes when opened. The only recourse is to reinstall the 11.2.0.1006 version of the driver. I have looked on Intel's support and download site, but can't find the control panel there either. Has anyone else figured out how to use the upgraded driver?

To Dell Support, why hasn't your utility installer been upgraded as well and when are you going to fix this?
