Dell Inspiron 15r 5547 :: Windows 8.1 - Touchpad Not Working

Aug 6, 2014

Brand 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.

Dell Inspiron 5547 :: Want To Install A 500 Gb SSD

Dec 31, 2014

I have an inspiron 5547 coming from the outlet with windows 8.1 on it and an I7 4510U and I want to replace the 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA drive with a 512 gb SSD. My question is do I need to buy a retail copy of windows 8.1? As I recall, the disks provided by Dell are limited.

Can I maybe download a copy from MS and use the license that comes with my system? I seem to remember requesting a disk from dell in the past, is that an option?

Am I correct that this  laptop can't take a mSATA drive?

Dell :: Inspiron E1705/9400 BIOS Update This Month

Dec 5, 2009

It's been over two years since the last update, but Dell finally released a patch for the faulty nVidia graphics chips to help delay failure. That's the only fix listed in the A10 release. I wanted to let everyone know that if you have an nVidia graphics card in your E1705 or any other laptop from 2006-2008 you should check for the latest BIOS update because these cards have faulty thermal design that causes overheating and failure. The symptoms are odd colored pixels, video flickering, rebooting and system crashes, program crashes, odd lines on screen, etc - once you start to exerience this it's already too late, your chip is damaged and needs to be replaced. Likely, at this point, every system out there is probably already experiencing some form of failure so to be safe, if you're still under warranty, I'd use it to get a new card as soon as you can and apply this BIOS update. Anyway, you can find the BIOS update here:

Dell Inspiron 77R :: Update BIOS Based On Popup Notice?

Apr 19, 2013

I received a brief pop-up notice that there was an important BIOS upgrade for my Inspiron 7720 and then when I went out to the Dell Support Link there is a one paragraph stating that there is a critical new BIOS update.  I had hope to read more about the update and what it required but there was nothing.  So I clicked on the link, this launched a download of a file - 7720A13.exe and nothing else. 

How am I to distinguish this file from a SPAMMER sending me a file?

Dell Inspiron 7720 :: Can't Boot After Bios Update Failure

Feb 22, 2013

I have an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 running Windows 7 64-bit Pro which has been working fine, but I was thinking about getting an mSata flash drive to cache the hard disk, and reading on this forum discovered that my A01 bios version wasn't up to the job, so tried to update the bios tonight.

I downloaded the 7720A12.exe from the Dell site but wanted to backup my bios first.  Again searching this forum, I saw a post that said there was a backup option when running the exe.  Wrong.

Running it from within windows it immediately said it was going to reboot (I wasn't given an option!).  My laptop powered down as if doing a restart, but immediately hung. 

There was nothing but blackness on the screen, no text, no beeps.  It appeared to be stuck in a boot cycle, as the screen back light was coming on, and off, and on, and off etc, for 10 minutes straight. 

I powered down and powered up and I get the dell logo and can enter the bios setup, but after that, no matter what I do, I get a dos based "BOOT MENU" with just these options on:

Network Boot <- does nothing except messes up the display of this menu Setup <- loads the bios settings Diagnostics <- runs a diagnostic program which tests the hardware and reports all tests pass Change boot mode setting <- does nothing except messes up the display of this menu

I can't get passed this menu.

I've tried booting from a DVD - both a Windows 7 installation disk, and the Dell recovery DVD I created when I first got the laptop, neither DVD boots, and apart from buzzing the DVD drive, don't have any effect at all. 

Both disks have been tested in another Inspiron laptop I have, and I also set the boot priority order in the bios so that DVD is the first item in the list.

I've also tried a bootable USB stick, but no joy there either.  The light on the stick shows it's being accessed, but I still end up at the Boot Menu above.

HP Dv4-5121tx Recovery :: BIOS Update Not In Windows?

Oct 17, 2012

Notebook: dv4-5121tx
 
How to update recent versions of BIOS using USB? I checked MANY pages regarding this. But they all refer to BIOS distributed in different formats, and does not work for me.
 
The BIOS file, sp66897.exe (latest version, F.39) and sp60266.exe (previous version known to work, F.34) , contain the following files 01837.fdFlsHook.exe FlsHookDll.dllFWUpdLcl.exeInsydeFlash.exeiscflash.dlliscflash.sysiscflashx64.sysplatform.inixerces-c_2_7.dll

There is no .BIN for .SIG files.I copied all files to USB drive, renamed the drive HP_TOOLS, plug into the Notebook, and copy 01837.fd to all different names appeared in other pages, plug in the USB and power on with Windows Key + B down. End result was a black screen and blinking Caps Lock LED.
 
Is it possible to update recent BIOS from USB? Or can I update in Ubuntu / WinPE or other bootable device? I took the notebook to repair in HP service center. Because I needed to use the harddisk (formatted with GPT), I requested to removed the harddisk and HP engineer did so. After repair, the notebook said something like 'no bootable device ...'. It's found that the BIOS was DOWNGRADED to F.17 (originally F.34), which did not support GPT.
 
Therefore, I need to update the BIOS and any method requiring local harddisk is not usable.The harddisk quick test could run in BIOS. This means the hardware is OK. But the notebook does not know how to boot from the disk.

Dell Inspiron 5547 :: Black Border Around Screen?

Sep 14, 2014

I am having issues with my Dell 5547 laptop. There is a roughly 1cm border all around the screen which wasn't there before and I noticed it now as my taskbar is adjusted 1cm up but when I put google chrome in full screen it sort of chops the top bar down a bit.

I noticed through google searches other people have had similar issues with Dell laptops however I can't seem to find a solution because every time I try to turn off the "maintain display scaling" it won't let me turn it off.

Dell Inspiron 5547 :: Touchpad Mouse Moving Erratically

Oct 20, 2014

I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 5547 about 2 weeks ago. I've noticed a problem with the touchpad. My mouse sometimes moves erratically by itself. I'm not sure if this is a windows 8.1 issue, a hardware issue or driver issue. I have noticed that closing the monitor and then opening it again usually stops the mouse the issue temporarily.

Dell Inspiron 5547 :: Touchpad Working Then Stopped Responding

Dec 5, 2014

I have a new Inspiron 5547 w/Windows 7, everything is working well except for the Touchpad.  Initially the touchpad was working fine, then it stopped responding, only when I attached a USB mouse could I use the laptop.  I re-installed drivers and the Touchpad worked correctly again. A few days later, the trackpad stopped working again....reinstalled drivers yet again and everything worked fine. Now for the 3rd time in 4 days the trackpad is not working. Is this a hardware or Windows 7 Issue?
