I have an Inspiron 15 with Windows 8.1 on which the Windows is not working. I am in contact with Dell but the 'expert' seems to ignore what I say and give me solutions that bear little relation to my problem. could it be that I am in consultation with a computer that emits standard replies based on keywords in my e-mails?
View 1 RepliesBrand new laptop, received yesterday. Plugged in a USB mouse today. All was fine until I unplugged it - now the laptop's touchpad will not work, despite the fact that as far as the computer is concerned, it is enabled (have gone through control panel, touchpad controls, etc. - everything thinks the touchpad is enabled). Drivers are up to date. Mouse works fine when I plug it back in, but cannot get the touchpad functioning.

My Dell Inspiron 1525's touchpad no longer works. It worked fine this morning. I updated security essentials and windows and then it stopped working after updates had installed. I tried system restore and it still does not work. I can use a corded USB mouse, but I really need the touchpad.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter connecting to the internet on my laptop(Dell inspiron 1525, Windows Vista), the internet connection will work great for 5 minutes or less than it slows down drastically or essentially not working at all. If I disconnect and reconnect it will work again but just for a short amount of time. The wireless connection works great on other laptops, tablets and mobile. I have Mcafee antivirus, and it could not detect any malware or viruses. Tried restoring the computer to factory settings and the internet stays connected for what seem a few minutes longer.
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust got a brand new laptop, Dell Inspiron 11 3137, and updated to windows 8.1. The touchpad does not work properly now; gestures/scrolling/pointer not working. I've spent over 16 hours getting windows 8.1 installed and then troubleshooting this issue. I've contacted Dell; updated the driver from Dell, even tried installing the latest driver from Synaptic. I even tried setting the Synaptic app to run under the windows 8 version.
Touchpads have been around a long time. It's the last thing I expect not to work properly.
At this point I am ready to send the laptop back and call it quits on windows.
I have a Dell Inspiron 7000 series and 2 days ago Windows installed a critical update which stopped my keyboard and mouse working, I have had to do a system restore to get it working again but with it being a critical update I'm assuming I will need it.

I have recently purchased DELL Inspiron 14R 5420, which has preinstalled Windows 8. Later I came to know that some of my software are not working on the Windows 8.
Can I have multiple boots on my system. One Windows 7 and other Windows 8. Or can I create some disk for the installed windows 8 so that in future I can installed it again if I wish to.
I just installed Windows Xp on a new Inspiron 1520 because my uncle hates Vista. Anyway, this is about the third time I've cleaned Vista off a computer and put Xp on instead and this hasn't happened to me and I don't know what to do...
Once I got into XP I installed the Chipset i found from a thread somewhere on this site and after I did, none of the USB ports were working. They had been prior because the chipset was on my USB stick... Any one have any ideas how to solve my problem?
After turning on our Inspiron 17R laptop the cursor is between 2 user profiles and I can't get the cursor to move using the touchpad. I tried using the Hot Key to enable the touchpad but that didn't work.

But recently I went from XP to Windows 7 32bit, it stopped working. It'll just run the default voltages.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy computer was working fine last night, shut the lid and went to bed. Woke up hit the power button and I have blue screen. Restarted and now have blank black screen. I have a XP cd I try to put it in and nothing happens. I want to boot by cd but it wont. Cant figure out how to get into setting to change order for bios. I hit F8 and that works and tried all the options and no go, still blank black. I would wipe it out and start over If I could. Nothing new was installed. It was fine last night and today it woke up nasty!?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI noticed that the main fan on my laptop (dell 9400 inspiron) is was on a lot lately. It would come on after 5 minutes and stay on... full power, maximum RPM...
Had a look at the laptop and noticed there are two fans... A small one over the CPU, and a main one that cools the whole internals.
The main one was on all the time, and the small CPU one did not seem to come on at all. (that side of laptop was always hot too)
I downloaded a program (http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/) that allows you to manually activate the fans to check they were working. Sure enough the secondary(small CPU fan) would not spin with the test program.
I carefully opened up the laptop and removed all the pieces I needed
to access the fans. This involves carefully removing all casing screws, then removing the keyboard screws, then removing the screws under the keyboard too. You need to disconnect the keyboard, the WLAN power wires, the cr2032 battery wires, the screen bus, and 2 or 3 other connectors. just take note of what your disconnecting and how it is connected. Once I had seperated the laptop into two pieces and exposed the fans, I noticed a big piece of lint/dust ball in between the small CPU fan blades.
Does anyone know how to figure out what model is my heatsink, or where to buy them? i looked in ebay but can't find it.
i noticed that my laptop kept running hotter and hotter until i decided to look if the fanswhere even working and saw that the heat sink fan is not moving.
