I've been using Dell Inspiron for more than 3 years. It had a nice touchpad driver with which i could assign shortcuts to all the four corners of touchpad (e.g., Maximizing a window, minimizing, closing, and running a special application etc.). Now i m used to those shortcuts but they are not available in the new drivers of Dell Latitude D830, that i recently got. Can anybody point to the D830 touchpad driver having this facility or any free third party utility for that?
They are mostly identical, but with two exceptions.
1. One has a but faster processor than the other. 2. One used shared memory for the video (Intel Driver) and the other has an nVidia Quadro video card with respective driver.
I would like to be able to swap the hard disks between the two computer.
My question is, can I install both sets of drivers and assume the respective computer will know what to do?
I've had the dell 350 bluetooth module working fine for the last year and a half of Vista, but this latest SP has broken it. I tried reinstalling the old drivers to no avail.
I'm starting to get some weird video symptoms on my Latitude D830 with the Nvidia Quadro NVS140M video. Fairly random at this point, maybe once or twice a week, the screen does something weird in terms of displaying stuff that it completely shouldn't, even during boot-up.
Don't know if this chip is a member of the family of Nvidia chips that suffers from the bugs, but has anyone else experienced this with a heavily-used Latitude D830 yet?
If I have to get a new motherboard, has Nvidia actually implemented a solution, or are they still shipping the same parts? I have ~3 years of warranty left (plus the bonus year), but I don't look forward to a motherboard replacement every year or so.
i've recently purchased a 2nd hand dell D830 laptop. it was running windows vista and everything was working fine. but i need to have it running XP, so i formatted and installed XP PRO.
entered the service tag on support site, downloaded the "shipping" drivers. most of them install, some terminate with errors, others tell me that the hardware isn't found. no audio, also wrong display drivers, points me to intel drivers, but that doesn't install, nvidia one does the trick... just endless problems, but when i revert to VISTA, it all works again.
I've got an E6400 that got crushed and an almost unused D830. I want to cannibalize the E6400 and install it in 1.8 MHz 512 MB D830. I've zeroed the SSD, checked the processor and RAM and was wondering if it is possible to use a 1066 MHz FSB processor in an 800 FSB system,if it would recognize the 800 MHz memory and if there is a BIOS modification to allow the SSD to work to it's potential?
Windows 7 32-bit upgrade CD (not SP1), from XP. no anti-virus yet. Windows Updates current to SP1.I have always had my DELL mouse plugged in to rear port, but for unknown reasons it is now dead to all USB devices?
Mouse is now recognized by side USB port, but I like to keep them free for bulky flash drives..I tried uninstalling all ports/refresh from Device Manager, but rear port is still dead to all USB devices.I then tried a repair install from desktop, but still dead (1st time HD light flashed for 1sec, then nothing from then on).
Recently I purchased a Dell Latitude D830 motherboard as a replacement for the damaged one in my own system.
The seller didn't tell me that the system has a customized bios and a password, instead he announced it as 'password free'. The board is working and I can enter the BIOS but all settings are locked with a password.
As the seller refuses to take it back, I need to reset the system. The first owner of the board is known and I have the service tag ready. Is there any chance to reflash an original DELL BIOS and to reset the password(s)?
About a week ago, the (external) screen of my dell lattitude D830 went completely black. I hadn't got a clue wat to do, so I waited a while, and when nothing happened I turned off the computer. I've been googling for a while, and found something about POST-codes here [URL] ..... apparently the video-card doesn't work anymore (If I start the computer with FN+power, Num and Caps flash, and Scroll burns permanently). Lucky for me my Dell was old, and I had recently replaced it, but I still wanted to use my old computer for rendering etcera. Would this still be possible? I have the idea that the computer doesn't boot anymore (I can't see whether that's true, since there's no screen). Would it be possible to make it boot again, so that I can use my old Dell on a network?
One of my users brought me this issue the other day. He is using a Latitude D830 laptop with a D/port docking station. With or without the laptop docked, The power button on the docking station flashes Orange and Green when powered. I've swapped power bricks for the dock. The laptop still seems to charge while being docked. After swapping the dock, the new dock is fine.
What might be causing it? Is the dock dead? Could it be a failed port on the docking station?
I noticed a few other threads around the internet about this issue, but couldnt find a definitive answer on how to get it fixed, so I thought I would try it here.
The problem is that when I go into standby and wake from it, my bluetooth icon disappears and bluetooth doesnt work.
I have a Dell Studio XPS 13 running Vista 64 with the Dell bluetooth 370 minicard. Ive tried using the generic windows bluetooth drivers as well as Dell's drivers.
Nothing appears in device manager as well. I have to manually go into bluetooth settings, disable the device, then re-enable it.
I have a Latitude E6420 that came without a Bluetooth card. Is it possible to add the Dell TrueMobile 375 Bluetooth module to this machine? I looked in the Service Manual for the 6420 but it did not show where the Bluetooh moduel cable the plugged into the motherboard. In fact, I opened the case and found the slot where the Bluetooth module would be mounted but did not see a place to plug in the cable.
I recently purchased a N7110 and very nice it is other than the power cord being too short. However all was well and good when i got the machine, updated Win 7 from Microsift website and then noticed that the Bluetooth drivers where causing problems in device manager? have had no problems with connections but am being reminded that i need to reload the drivers. Nothing seems to be load when I try to download via the net.
I have a Dell E6220 laptop with BT and have difficulty pairing with my Bluetooth headset. I was able to pair the Dell E6220 with my BT mouse (Microsoft 5000 Cordless Mouse), but I cannot pair either my LG Tone Wireless Bluetooth Stereo or the Platonic BT Headset.
The devices are in paring mode, and I go under Add Bluetooth device but the Dell never sees it. I also tried with my iPhone but the Dell cannot find it. It is odd because my BT mouse is working just fine.
Is there a known problem with BT headsets and the laptop? Are there maybe some drivers that need to be installed?
I was trying to re-install the Bluetooth drivers (R140135) on my system (configuration in my signature),
and hence I removed all the Bluetooth related devices in the Device Manager. But now when I try to install the drivers, I get this message -
Code: "Please uninstall current Bluetooth installation before continuing" I have tried to remove it from where ever I could find it, I renamed the default Windows Vista drivers so that they are not loaded.
There is no mention of Bluetooth anywhere now, but the DELL driver file still gives me that error!
My laptop is something wrong. Bluetooth doesn't work, i have installed wireless+ bluetooth and wireless is working perfectly, but bluetooth dont work. There is Bluetooth icon in bar, but when i click it, trying to send files, or get files i cant find any bluetooth devices. When i try to add devices, not even one devices is showing up, its empty. In driver manager there is Bluetooth radios when i open it, show ups bluetooth drivers I think.. Tried uninstall and install it, doesn't work either. Tried register to dell.com but i can't some servers problems.
I am trying to install a Dell TrueMobile 375 Bluetooth module in my Latitude E6420. I have read the instructions in the E6420 Service Manual but it is not obvious where the other end of the cable on the 375 Bluetooth module plugs into the motherboard. The images provided in the Service Manual are of no luck, as they only show where the module goes, not where the cable on the module plugs into a corresponding socket.
I've had this problem for quite a while. I'm unable to register Microsoft mice with the bluetooth on my Latitude D630.
I originally thought it was the mouse I purchased ... but the mouse worked fine when I used the bluetooth adapter that it shipped with.
I recently purchased a MS Presenter Mouse 8000 and tried to register it with the bluetooth stack. Every time I try I get a "Registration Failed" message.
The software can see the mouse ... and I hear the standard "Registering hardware" chimes, but then I get the "Registration failed" message.
I'm running "Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba" version 4.31.02.6(D).
i am getting the above screen when i boot up into windows and no mater which option i choose it does not work. I just put this drive in though it was not there when i was instaling the OS. Also the bios deteects the drive as a BLU RAY drive but i cant find these drivers any where on dell website or any where else. I can open and close the drive just fine and if i put a cd or dvd in it spins fine as well.
my Acer TM8204. i just installed vista 3 weeks ago,but until now,i still cant figure out,why i cant turn on my bluetooth. it always give me "no device" everytime i try switch it on.
I Just upgraded my 5672 to Windows Vista with a clean installation, installed all drivers from Acer's site. When I am using skype with bluetooth headset (Samsung WEP200) it crashes my computer to a blue screen does a memory dump and reboots. This happens every time after about 10-20 minutes of skype usage. Everything else seems to work fine for hours on end.
Secondly I still have an unknown device in device manager after installing all the drivers from Acers site, anyone know what device that could be? The hardware ID is "ACPISMCB000"
On my Vostro 3450, in the Device Manager, the Bluetooth Peripheral Device status says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) There is no driver selected for the device information set or element. To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver." On clicking Update Driver I get the response that driver not found.
