Dell Inspiron 7000 :: Keyboard Giving Wrong Symbols

Dec 4, 2014

This week I took delivery of an Inspiron 7000 laptop for my daughter, and some of the keyboard symbols are typing incorrectly.   EG when hitting the " key she get the @ symbol, the @ symbol is giving the british pound symbol, and maybe one or two others are incorrect (I am at work at present and don't have the laptop with me to give all the wrong keys).

Apple :: Some Symbols In PDFs- Greek Letters- Mathematics Symbols- Showing As Black Boxes In Preview.app

May 5, 2010

That explains it. Have a PDF where something as simple as a lowercase alpha, beta -- or a division sign -- is rendering as a blacked-out box.

In Font Book, all fonts on this machine are listed under PDF, as well. Running OS X 10.6.3.

The PDF works fine on a friend's Vista machine.

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 :: No Driver Is Available For The Keyboard / Touchpad Of Laptop

Jan 7, 2015

As the title says, there is no driver available for the keyboard/touchpad on this laptop. There is no way to adjust the current touchpad settings. I've followed all the troubleshooting steps for Windows 8.1, but this model simply lacks a Dell Touchpad interface or any settings to change gestures or scrolling speeds and sensitivity. None of the usual gestures even work, not even pinch-zoom.

This wouldn't be a big deal if there were a driver available to fix the issue, but there isn't - this model does not have a input driver available at all. All that is provided is an ancient Mouse Properties thing that seems designed for a wired mouse and some ETDWare SmartTouch thing that does nothing at all as far as I can tell. The literature for this model claims that the laptop has " a roomy, gesture-enabled precision touchpad, [which can] zoom, click and point with impressive accuracy and speed." Well the gestures consist of two finger scrolling and nothing else, and there is no zoom, not to mention any other gestures, and accuracy and speed tend to rely on users tweaking things to their own unique preferences (impossible as it is).

All this is to say, is Dell working on getting an input driver for this model? Is there an update in the works? Is there some other method available to remedy this unfortunate failing of an otherwise pretty nice machine? If I don't hear back in a week or so, I'm just going to return this and buy a different brand.

Dell Inspiron 15 :: Laptop Screen All Symbols - Cannot Get Into Account?

Nov 21, 2014

I've had this Dell Inspiron 15 for all of about 3 hours, and when I'm on the internet, it randomly shuts off, turns back on, and displays this:

[URL].....

This computer has Windows 8 and when I type in my password in the box I suspect is the login screen, it just comes up with more symbols.

Can't get into computer. Computer is covered in symbols and gibberish. Is there a way to factory reset this computer without actually being able to get in? Or should I just send it back?

Dell Inspiron 7000 :: Won't Boot - Bad BIOS?

May 17, 2004

My Inspirion 7000 will not boot and won't enter bios setup. I  turned on mode to reduce cpu usage, and to show startup on screen. Next thing I know it won't boot.

If I press f2 early during what should be the post testing it says "entering setup" at the bottom of the screen. It hangs right there and goes no further.

I've pulled the hd, cd/floppy, battery, tried everthing suggested from another user I found who had the exact same problem.

[URL] ....

I've tried to boot several different ways. It always hangs there at the 'entering setup' - won't boot from floppy or cd.

This laptop has worked without a problem for years. Running Win98se

Is there anyway to "reset" the bios when bios itself cannot be loaded?

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 :: Create Set Of System Recovery

Mar 11, 2014

I have created a set of "System Recovery" (Reinstall Disk) DVD's for my inspiron 15 7000 laptop.I removed the traditional Sata HD from the laptop and installed Samsung Evo 840 SSD. Connected an external DVD drive and booted using the System Recovery Disk 1.

The files started loading but after half were loaded gave error of something like 0x8xxxxxx and asked to reboot. The same error occurred after another reboot.The Recovery Disk are fine as i have verified them using dell backup software.Also is it possible to create Dell Recovery partition (O/S and drivers e.t.c) somehow on the new SSD if i install Windows 8 using the OEM disk straight away?

Dell Inspiron 13 7000 :: Touchpad Becomes Unresponsive Temporarily

Jan 23, 2015

I recently bought this 2-in-1 and I love it but when using the keypad the cursor freezes temporarily in between actions so I have to resort to touch to continue. There's a lag of a few seconds (10) that is frustrating when I want to use the device as a laptop. The touchpad becomes unresponsive and I have to wait or use touch to continue...

Can this be altered in Settings or is it a bug?

Dell Inspiron 7000 :: Crashing When Coming Out Of Hibernation

Jan 10, 2015

My 2013 Inspiron tended to come out of hibernation either quite slowly , taking 20 to 30 seconds to get to the log-in screen, or crash altogether (not every time, but every 2 or 3 wake-ups) which required a hardware reboot.. After doing some research, I found some information. It appears there may be some conflict between BIOS settings and Windows (8.1 in my case).

I checked BIOS settings and the only thing I found was that Intel's Rapid Start Technology was enabled. So I turned it off and rebooted. Turns out, the Rapid Start actually delayed the boot process: my computer boots MUCH faster now (about half the time from before) in the full boot process, it comes out of hibernation almost instantaneously (as I would expect from a system with i7 processor, 16 GB Ram and SSD) and it has not yet crashed when coming out hibernation.

Dell Inspiron 13 :: 7000 Dark Screen Edges

Dec 24, 2014

Just got the 1920 x 1080 version of the 13" inspiron. The left and right edges (about 5-10% and not top or bottom) of the screen are about half as bright as the rest of screen. Also on closer inspection I've noticed that on the left hand side, the middle part of the rubber edge is squashed in. Is this pretty much normal for these laptops? I'll see if my camera can capture these details.

Dell Inspiron 7000 :: Connecting / Finding 5 GHz WiFi Network

Nov 11, 2013

My new Inspiron is having an issue with connecting to my home wifi. The router (UPC TC 7200 U) is set to 5 GHz on Channel 40  with n-standard and delivers a strong signal on all other devices that are connected.According to the product description the Inspiron 7000 should have no problems finding this network as it has a  dual-band wifi card.The issue also doesn't lie with the router as other new devices that I brought to my home can find and connect to the network without any problems.I downloaded and installed the current intel and dell drivers for the wifi card; still I cannot find the 5GHz network on my new dell.

Dell Inspiron 7000 :: Function Keys Change In Use Unexpectedly

Nov 18, 2014

It seems as if the first time after I restart my laptop (Dell inspiron 7000 series, windows 8.1) and I attempt to use the volume/ backlight toggle/ brightness/ etc keys found on the F keys on my keyboard, I can use them pretty much freely. The problem is after I close my laptop for the first time since restarting I then have to hold the Fn button to use them. It can be very annoying at times considering you eventually get used to holding the Fn key, so after the first time using them since restarted you end up hitting F4/5/6 etc instead of changing the brightness or whatever setting you are trying to change. I was wondering if there was some type of setting where I can make these keys permanently free to use as opposed to having to hold the Fn keys after the first time the laptop is in sleep mode.

Dell Inspiron 13 7000 :: Touch Screen Automatically Touches Itself

Dec 14, 2014

I am using Dell Inspiron 13 7000 2 in 1 laptop for last 2 months. It is a nice laptop to use. 

But I have an issue now. It is that the touch screen touches itself automatically on the left side of the screen over top to bottom. It occurs occasionally and it is annoying. I can't control the mouse when it occurs. When I restart the system, it stops.

I can't find any solutions for that. I did calibrate also. It didn't worked.

It touches all over the left portion without gaps.

Dell :: Inspiron 7000 (7537) Headphones Static Noise

Nov 16, 2013

I received my Inspiron 7537 1080 3 weeks ago. Everything works perfectly except the static noise after connecting headphones. Tried different headphones,latest drivers nothing worked. Dell has sent an engineer to look at the problem. He replaced entire motherboard but the noise is still there. I tried Bluetooth headphones and external sound card but this hissing noise is always there in the background. I am thinking about getting another one after refund but not sure if this static noise is present in all models or was this only one off.
