Dell Vostro 3560 :: Windows 8 - Fingerprint Reader Not Found
Mar 11, 2013I have purchased a new laptop (Vostro 3560) with Windows 8 64 Bit. The fingerprint reader stops working, after reinstalling the touchpad and fingerprint reader sometimes the reader starts working again (i.e its detected and I can login to windows by swiping my finger). It says the fingerprint reader is not found (on the Windows Login Screen) and the icon in the DP Fingerprint Software has an x in a red circle.

Apr 3, 2013I have 10+ years experience, but I cant resolve this bug. I have a 3560 Vostro, new running win7. It has never went to sleep or hibernate properly. I have set it to go to sleep after 10 minutes and hibernate after 120 minutes, neither work as I wake up the next morning to find the laptop still running. ALSO I set the power button to "hibernate" and when pressing that it takes me to the log into windows screen. It seems like the computer goes to hibernate and IMMEDIATELY wakes up to the login screen.
Is there a program or setting that is preventing the PC from sleep/hibernation?
Dell Vostro 3560 :: Great Fan Noise And HDD Overheating?
Mar 29, 2013I think there are many others' complains about the fan noise. When in a quiet night the fan's suddenly noise really hurts me. Finally I noticed that it is the PCH diode that trigger the fan. when the temperature of PCH goes over 65 C, the fan starts running at full speed while CPU is around 50 C and lower. So will the next bios solve this problem? just make fan starting running at 65 C or lower with a very slow rpm to just cool down the PCH, rather than a instant full speed running at 70C. And I also want to ask that why the PCH is so hot, there is no any cooling part on it?
I also have to complain the HDD overheating. 42-45C is a normal temperature now while my 5 years old Inspiron 1520 is normally 35-37 C. the place for the HDD is not perfect. It avoids the feeling of vibration when putting HDD down your wrist, but the CPU heat around it becomes a new problem. I think it is unsolvable. And the workmanship of DELL is getting worse, since my new Vostro 3560 has many small flaws...
Dell Vostro 3560 :: MSATA Caching Option
Jan 25, 2013I bought a Vostro 3560 without the 32GB mSATA caching option. I found out that I need a new daughter card 82PYC in order to get the mSATA port available for my Vostro configuration, because the connector is not available if bought without the mSATA caching option. The question is, is only caching with the mSATA port/drive possible or can I buy a larger mSATA drive (say 128GB) and use it as ssd boot drive ?

HP Dv4-5121tx Recovery :: BIOS Update Not In Windows?
Oct 17, 2012Notebook: 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.

Mar 2, 2012Yesterday, I saw on the Lenovo System Update app, that I had couple critical and optional updates. These were the updates:
WER Patch
Lenovo Comm Utility
Lenovo Power Management Driver
ThinkPad Power Manager
Intel WLAN Driver
BIOS 2.60.1.14
There were couple updates on the Windows Side. I ran all of them in one session so I can't really say if windows messed up something or the System Update is responsible but since yesterday I can no longer shutdown my x230t i7 Win 7 Pro. I closes the desktop and then it gets to the screen where you'll see a spinning wheel and the words "Shutting Down":
But it will hang there forever and never actually shuts down. I have to press and hold down power button to shutdown.

Dell :: Cant Update BIOS Of My New Studio XPS 1340

Dell :: XPS M1730 BIOS Update / Flash
Feb 6, 2009I have a Dell XPS M1730 with a BIOS revision of A03--the latest revision available on the Dell Drivers & Downloads page is A10.
My dilemma is that I am not sure if it is safe to skip the revisions A06 and A09 and just go straight for revision A10.
Also, is revision A10 any better than A09 or A06? Please, I really need somebody's advice on this matter.
Reasons for this BIOS update:
* Upgrading to two 250GB Momentus hard drives and run them under RAID 0.
* Planning on dual-booting Windows Vista 32-bit and Vista 64-bit (need help on this one as well, but let's just focus on the current matter) .....

Dell :: Warning About A04 Bios Update For 1749
May 7, 2010I have a dell 1749 with I7 and the ATI graphics card and loved it till today when I applied the recommended A04 version bios update.
It stopped at 69 out of 70 in the install process for over an hour and then I had a brick!
Dell have agreed to replace the unit as it is less than a month old and totally fried, it wont even get to the dell logo stage which means you can't revert to the previous bios.
It may have been that it was already faulty but I would be very wary of updating the bios at this time.
