Hi guys,

I would be grateful is someone were to help me the following:

I have an Inspiron 5558 and it has a keyboard with the following model code 583-BCES. I think it is an Internal American keyboard, I bought it in Switzerland - so it may be a Central European keyboard, but according to my Order description and Google it is an American keyboard. I want to change it to a UK/Ireland. I can buy the keyboard but will the layout of the keys on the UK/Ireland keyboard work with the computer I have. I ask because clearly the layout of the keys on the two keyboards is different and I do not want to buy a UK/Ireland one and discover it does not work. Even if the UK/Ireland keyboard 'fits', I presume I need to reconfigure the key set-up on the OS too? In case this has any bearing, I am using Windows 10.

Thanks in advance.

Lawrence.

Hi all,

Dell just replaced the motherboard on my Inspiron 3542 and everything seemed to be A-OK. However, I come home and it doesn't detect any WIFI connections, and nor can I add any connections manually. What am I missing? Any advice?

Thanks!

Hi guys

I have a problem with battery charging. I'm using my laptop at home. So  I'd like to stop chargin my battery at 80% and start at 40%. I hope it can extend battery life. My battery is always charged to 100 %. I've seen this option in other Dell laptops (e5550,  but on my laptop I Can't  find it.

The USB 3 ports stopped working on this 2-in-1 and I sent it in for repair.  They replaced the hard drive and reloaded Windows 10 and sent it back.  After "completing" the install of Windows 10, the USB 3 ports still do not work.  They do not recognized any flash drive nor a mouse receiver.  The USB 2 port functions fine.  (The flash drives do get very hot when plugged in even for a short time.)

I guess the diagnostic software that is relied on that says the USB ports are OK isn't testing everything.

I installed a new router at home. All devices are working ok but the Dell Inspiron can't connect to the wifi.

I try updating the drivers using the following installer:

Network_Driver_HP06Y_WN_10.0.0.276_A00.EXE

But after restart the notebook it still can't connect to wifi. Windows doesn't help with the error message:

This version of windows is really poor. I feel very frustrated with windows, because it doesn't say anything about the issue in order to guide / help me to find a solution. I can't believe how dark is it.

The current driver version installed is 10.0.0.276:

Windows event viewer also doesn't show any error that could help to solve the problem.

Searching Internet didn't find anything useful.

Anybody could help?

Hi 

I've got today the Dell Latitude 3550 and I cannot connet it to the wifi.

I can see my WiFi on the list of the wifi available near me but when  I try to put the password, i got the message of no connection .

It works if I connect the laptop with the cable  to the router and the wifi is working with the other laptop of my flatmates  / or phone.

What can I do? 

Thanks 

Valentina

I have searched and searched but can not find an answer as what processors will work in this laptop. Someone should know. It has a i3 2328 now. I have noticed these came out with an i5 processors but its impossible to get the specs for the motherboard. I do not need to be told why I don't need to change it to a bigger processor. Not said in a bad way, I just want to know what will work. Thanks for any info. I will need to change it and they processors are cheap that should work. Thanks again for any ideas.

I have a Precision 15 3000 Series (3510) on order, and I have a question regarding the compatible memory modules for this system. May be a silly question but better to be safe than sorry...

The online manual states that the maximum memory module size is 8 GB, but there were options when ordering the laptop to buy it with 16 GB modules. I presume that the manual is outdated as surely all of the options on offer will be compatible, but can someone confirm this? Can the laptop actually take 16 GB memory modules?

Note that I didn't order any 16GB modules, just thinking about future upgrades.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi,

I recently bought inspiron 15 7559 i7 and found that the keyboard is bilingual.

It's little bit hard for me to type as the enter key is really small. 

Would it be possible to get another keyboard (with different layout) and replace it? 

Thanks

I have a refurbished Latitiude E5540 that recently went out of warranty. While using it last night, my screen began flickering, the colors changed, the text looked blurry and multi-colored (almost like double vision) and the screen faded to a greyish white and became blank. I turned it off,tried to log back in but the screen was still a greyish white.  This was the first timme anything like this has happened.

To get it working normally again I  had to unplug the power source,remove the battery and press the on/off button to discharge the laptop. When i installed the battery and plugged in the power source I was able to log in normally and use it without incident for a while but the same issue happened again and I have to go through the same process to get it working again.  

Since last night, every time I use it the same problem happens.

Can anybody help or provide me with assistance with this issue

Hi,

I own Dell XPS 15. using it for more than 3 years now, Yesterday i was able to successfully swicth on the laptop and had hardly used for 2 minutes. Battery was getting charged(maybe around 50% charge). All of a sudden screen went blank. I tried to switch on but nothing worked. I checked if battery was getting charged and it wasn't getting charged. The light of the AC adapter near the connector was not lighting. I swtiched off charging .I removed the adapter from the laptop and tried to switch on the adapter switch. Blue lights were coming near the connector. Moment i connect the adapter to the laptop, the blue light flickers for a minute and goes blank. and power button is also not swtiching on, Please help.

Thanks,

Hi all,

   Just installed the Windows 10 anniversary update yesterday.
Most things seem to work, however I got the following issues:

- USB 2.0 ports don't seem to work anymore (3.0 do however);
- Audio card is not detected anymore (no sound)

I was wondering if others experienced the same issues and if any of you have found a solution for this. If I may believe the Dell website we might not expect an update for this? This € 2000+ laptop is not even 1,5 year old!

Thank you for your time!

Best regards

Hi Has anyone experienced touchscreen failure ? I emailed dell and they provided solutions via email which I did all of them with no success. Before calling them I wanted to see if anyone had this problem and it was resolved without returning the computer for service. Thank you in advance
