Dell :: Precision M4700 / Control-vault Drivers And Firmware
Apr 29, 2013
I have been having a lot of issues with my Precision M4700 stalling during boot, directly on the display of the Windows logo so I am attempting to reinstall, btw there are serious issues with recovery mode but that is another issue.
My system is English spec but was bought in Germany so I have a German tag. When I choose the firmware and drivers for my machine I am offered a very different versions to those offered for my model. In particular, I see CV version 2.2 when the version offered without using my system tag is 2.3. Are there technical hardware differences or is it just that the German language version of the software isn't yet available?

my new Precision M4700/Core i5/FirePro4000/4 GB wont recognize a Samsung 830 as a HDD replacement. The SSD does not even appear in the BIOS. Attached via USB, works. Attached via adapter in Optical Bay, works. Sata II but okay. Its even booting the cloned Dell Image on my Z77 PC. ive replaced the Samsung 830 and nothing. No BIOS detection at Port 0.I treid all the Sata Settings with no luck. I bought a Crucial M4 and it works. But Only Sata II.

After deactivating bluetooth either with the wifi-switch or clicking the bluetooth icon, it cannot be activated again by either of this two functions.If the BIOS is set to switch bluetooth with the wifi-switch, I could not find a way to activate it again.If the BIOS is set to not switch bluetooth with the wifi-switch, after rebooting the pc bluetooth works again.In any case the bluetooth LED is always off.
I tried Dell online pc diagnostic. It downloads and starts "DellPCDiagnostics.exe", I can see it is running in task manager.But the web page complains: Diagnostic launcher was downloaded but could not be started ...
I loaded all available updates, without success.
My system details: Dell Precision M4700 Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit Dell Wireless 380 Bluetooth 4.0

I purchased a Dell Precision M4700 pre-installed with Windows 8 just before Christmas. Over all I am happy with it. My biggest regret was getting Windows 8.
The issue that is really starting to frustrate me is the inability to access the internet through certain secure WiFi access points. For example, I am sitting in a Marriott hotel using the Wifi network in their conference facility. Yesterday I could connect, today I cannot get to the login page. After several attempts to force a fresh connect by connecting to another network I have given up and am now tethered via my phone. A Windows 7 laptop and iPad connect without any problems.
At two companies that had a secure guest network I was unable to login at all.
As far as I can tell from the Dell web site the drivers for the Wifi card (Dell 1540) are all upto date (version 6.30.59.26).

I am running Windows 7 64-bit on my laptop. When I originally got it from Dell, with all the software installed, it had a feature that would show "Caps Lock On" and so on when I turned on caps lock, or scroll lock.
I re-installed Windows since I upgraded the hard drive and want to know how to get this feature back. I installed the Dell Feature Enablement Pack, which gives me the "hotkey" menu, but no lock status options.
What's the software that shows this on screen?

I have a Dell Precision M4700 and am trying to use the keyboard backlight.
The problem is that even a short pause in typing, the keyboard backlight goes out. (about 5-6 seconds). It does not go on until I hit another key, (which then types that character, which I then have to erase).
Is there a way to set the keyboard backlight delay to a longer setting?

I have a Precision M4700, Windows 7 Ultimate on which the touchpad and keyboard nubbin have become unresponsive ever since I installed a Mircosoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000. The touchpad doesn't even appear in the device manager under the human input devices. Pro support at Dell is baffled. I've looked at the settings in the Dell Touchpad software and everything looks OK (e.g., Touchpad is not disabled). It's simply gone. It doesn't appear in the Bios or when we booted from a Windows 7 DVD. We well probably either have to send the system back or replace the motherboard? What is to prevent it from happening again?

the backlit keyboard on an m6400. Is there a way to configure how long it stays on until it fades? Or even to just make it stay on 100% of the time when plugged in?
Of secondary importance would be a way to control the brightness, but mostly I want the keyboard to remain lit much longer than it does.

Just opened my girlfriend's laptop, and saw that it had:
CD/DVD Drive TSL462 ver. C
PC2 4200S 4-4-4-12 latency RAM 1 512 MB stick
Dell P/N 0C9063 WiFi Card
I was wondering if someone could give me a link to updated drivers/firmware for the DVD drive and the Wifi Card. I already updated the Intel Chipset from the Intel website.
Also, what is the best kind of RAM it will accept? I was thinking two 1GB sticks of pc2-5300, but I don't know if it'll accept that much? It is Dual channel memory, but it's only using one channel right now obviously. Any help is appreciated, as I need to get her computer in working order by Friday.

I have some issues with my video since I upgrade the nvidia drivers from the nvidia web site. I removed the drivers and I reinstalled the original ones with the same results.
Does the Windows drivers upgrade also upgrades the video firmware as well?

I recently got a Dell Precision M4300 from a friend and had a few questions.
When i got the laptop, I reformatted the Laptop and Reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP2. I proceeded from Microsoft to Update to SP3 and so on.
Well I also Went to Dell's Website and downloaded all the necessary drivers (using the service tag) for this laptop and installed them.
Now here is where I ran into a problem,
When I installed the NVIDIA drivers for the NVidia Quadro FX 360M video card, everything seemed to go fine. Then I rebooted the Laptop, and now every time I reboot, my hardware acceleration is defaulted back to None, and it gives me multiple pop ups about this issue. I go into the settings and turn the Acceleration back to full and it goes away.
This is a major problem, and is really frustrating to deal with everytime the laptop is booted up.
My other problem, is when I open up Internet Explorer, It tends to lock up the browser for no reason when Loading a website. I then CTRL+ALT+DEL and attempt to close iexplore.exe via the task manager. It closes the browser but does not shut down the browser, making it impossible to browse, so then I have to reboot.
here are the specs of the PC, from the device manager and drivers I have gotten
Dell Precision M4300
NVidia Quadro FX 360M 512mb Video Graphics Card
TSST 8x dvd+-R burner
120GB Hard Drive
3.5GB of Ram
2.5GHZ T9300 Core 2 Duo Processor
1394 Port
2 USB ports
External Monitor Ports
Wifi Support
Bluetooth Support
Windows XP SP2 Pro

I am trying to find out who the ODM ( original design manufacturer) is for these precision models, dell no longer sells them, perhaps there is another channel for buying one besides Dell???
If anyone has any information please let me know and also what model not just the ODM's name.
For example ALienware laptops are made by the ODM Clevo which also sells the same Chassis without the alienware bling and price under the name of Sager, Averatec also as I recall ....

Do u think that this firmware could cause performance digression.

I have an E4200 with the standard SSD. CrystalDiskInfo shows it as a Samsung SSD Thin uSATA 64GB M running firmware VAM05D1Q.
Seeing that Windows 7 has been out for a little while now and TRIM support is showing up on more and more SSDs, I was looking for a firmware update for my SSD. Anyone seen one?

Many of us have brought Dell XPS 15s (L501X) an year ago - they are working great.
However all recent laptops now are coming with UEFI as default, with a legacy fallback option.
I believe current bios (A08) is actually a locked version of Phoenix Tiano Core UEFI.
Does dell have any update or is at least planning to launch one soon?
We need it for full functionality of Windows 8 and get it boot from gpt..., otherwise l501x is a powerful enough machine with i7 & a hot nvidia gpu.

I tried installing the R206231 Firmware update from Dell for the Seagate drives listed on the support site and it would not complete. I get an error. I noticed that my firmware is DEA2. Is this a newer firmware than the fix is trying to update to? I noticed that the software is trying to upgrade to DE16.
I own a ST9250421ASG in a E6400.

So I am trying to update the firmware on the DVD drive that came with my e1705, the Philips SDVD8820 (Terrible drive I might add) but the new update (AD20) will NOT let me update it.
Anyone I try to run the executable it tells me.
FwFlash
You don't have administrator right to process.
or NO device is recognized.
I then tried to go to Run as... then chose the following user (selected myself again, w/ password this time) and I got the same error.
Once it loads up, it says
FwFlash3M v5.8
Update F/W to AD20
Can't recognize device!
Did some Google searches on the problem and came across this registry edit that seemed to solve the problem for a couple other people .....

I just checked software update. Apparently it'll eliminate the startup noise that you hear from the DVD drive.
