I reinstalled my windows and now my bluetooth is not working !
I can't install the drivers, as soon as I try to install R280283 it gives me message please activate bluetooth using wireless switch !
Even if I try to install the driver only it says the wizard was interrupted before the Bluetooth software could be completely installed
I love my new laptop but it has a few issues that i need some help fixing:
1) Bluetooth not working (Yes there IS a module in my computer): I went into my bios and checked to make sure the option for bluetooth was checked. When my computer boots, the bluetooth LED comes on but as soon as it exits the BIOS and boots Windows 7 the LED turns off. I've looked for new drivers, and looked around other forums for a solution for this but have found no direct answer.
EDIT: Solved. Download the driver here
2) Sound (I have The High Def Audio with SRS premium sound. IDT drivers)- When playing sound on my computer with the A01 bios version, and having the IDT audio drivers, I noticed a lot of weird things going on with the sound. It like bottomed out and had a lot of vibration or something. I dont know how to describe it but it was VERY distorted. Since then i've upgraded my BIOS to A05 and uninstalled my IDT audio drivers and let windows install its own high definition audio drivers. It seem a lot better but there is still some distortion there were it seems like the computer is just vibrating too much or something.. Is there a fix for this? I read in another thread that he had to take out the keyboard and adjust some of the screws that were messing with the speakers.
*Also when I plug in my headphones, i notice some scratching and weird sounds when im not playing any music. Its like I can hear the hardrive. However, the problem is inconsistent. Is there a way to fix this?
*Also are there some recommended settings for the SRS premium sound (if i solve this and get the sound working right)?
EDIT: Visit this thread to upgrade your BIOS to A05. It fixed this problem to me, and besides, its the latest BIOS version. It's currently not on the dell site (typical dell)
Also Uninstall the IDT SRS Premium audio software an go to the Dell site and download just the IDT Driver. It fixed the clarity problem i was having too.
3) Wireless card- This must have been a A01 BIOS issue but since I upgraded to A05, it has been fixed. Basically when running uTorrent, the card would completely crash. It would make Firefox crash, and any other internet required app
Also it would be EXTREMELY helpful if someone would create a thread with all of the latest S-XPS 16 drivers (1640 and 1645). That way much time spent searching and troubleshooting can be avoided if we can just have a thread with all the drivers displayed in one location. Dell is horrendous when it comes to the latest drivers
Oh and here is my system build:

DEll Wireless 370 bluetooth Module (2.1+EDR)
for those of you trying to get the dell bluetooth driver to install in windows 7, here's what i did! (M6400)
right click on the file file you downloaded from dell and click the " TROUBLESHOOT COMPATIBILITY"
I have reformatted my old Inspiron 6400 in preperation of selling it, however I used to leave the Bluetooth module turned off the majority of the time when not needed to conserve power.
The module was turned off at the time of the reformat. Since reformatting I cannot get the Bluetooth to work. I can see it in the BIOS and I have loaded the drivers, but it's still failing to work or recognise it
I have bought a new inspiron 15 3521 & after going through the community i think i have made a mistake of buying this particular model. Still trying to resolve my Bluetooth problem. I have installed dual booting Windows 7 & 8 also
View 15 Replies View RelatedPurolator dropped off the laptop today and I was quite excited. I tried the Bluray and it's definitely worth the extra money. However, some things are going wrong.
First, the damn touchpad sucks. I want Synaptics back. But at this point all I can do is BAWW about it, so whatever. But when I try to install the drivers, the cursor flips out every time I touch the pad at all. It goes all over the screen in random directions.
Second, my bluetooth doesn't seem to be working. I installed the drivers on Windows Vista and Windows 7, but neither of them yielded results. The drivers install without a problem and then tell me to enable Bluetooth using the radio button. The radio button is already enabled, as Wi-Fi is working, but there is still no Bluetooth option in the Control Panel or anywhere else for that matter.
Third, Bluray movies seem to not work with WMP. What's the problem? If it's not supported, what program do you guys suggest I use for Bluray movies?
Fourth, no matter what I do, Catalyst Control Center just won't install. The drivers are there, but CCC just won't work at all, let alone show up in my desktop context menu.
my laptop model is inspiron-1520 and my bluetooth is not working at all...it shows the nearby devices and it pairs up but cant send or recieve files

My laptop is not discovering any Bluetooth devices and cannot be discovered from them either.
I have installed the latest drivers Dell Wireless 1705 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver and I updated the BIOS but the problem remains.
Here is a screenshot of the device manager, don't know if any other details needed ...
Here is sequence of event happened with my xps L501x.
1. It was working fine
2. I opened up machine to check how is RAM in that
3. Unplugged one of RAM (along with that little steel clip also came out)
4. That little steel clip fall inside machine which I found again by little movement of laptop
5. I placed back RAM and that steel clip
6. When I try to start machine - IT DOES NOT START :(
7. When I put power adapter, I see the power light lit up and xps logo also has light. But NO sound from motherboard or Fan. Absolutely no sound hence machine is not starting.
have a problem with my Dell XPS 15 l501x fan- is always turned ON, even when just started Windows 7 (x64) on power save plan (bios A8)....
View 1 Replies View RelatedMany 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.
Bluetooth is not at all working on my dell inspiron 15 3000 series 3542 after i installed win 8. I downloaded several Bluetooth drivers from dell, but nothing seems to work. I Have a Bluetooth icon on my task bar but when i connect device it says"no device found."I have run many tests but no luck so provide me with correct Bluetooth software and installation instructions.

I have an M6600 running Windows 7.
The BT Moust is a Dell Travel Mouse F299K. When I add it through the normal bluetooth menu, it seems to add correctly, but the blue light on the mouse keeps blinking.
I updated the BIOS to A12- that got it working for about 15 minutes. Then it quit and I'm back to where I started. I tried the mouse on two other machines and it works fine. Even on a Macbook Pro.
I have Inspiron N5010. I downloaded the Windows 8 and the bluetooth stopped working.
I downloaded the drivers from the dell.com, but all it says is this "this product has compatibility issues" ...
ALSO, i can not use my webcam to take the pics. it will only turn on when using yahoo messenger or something.
How can I get the webcam to be on...
Dell XPS L501X USB Ports not working properly. My USB 2 port work intermittently and my USB 3 port doesn't seem to work at all.
In November I installed Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on a new Crucial CRM4256SSD 256GB m4 Solid State Drive. Everything seems to be working except the USB Ports. I know my laptop is an unsupported Windows 8 system. What USB drivers I need to install to get them working correctly.
The last few days I've been trying to replace the 2x 2gb RAM in my XPS 15 (L501X) December 2010 laptop by 2x 4gb (Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9).
This should be possible based on the processor (Intel 460M) and the chipset, but somehow it isn't. Both with Windows 7 and Windows 8 my laptop just won't boot. Both give an error just after the Windows logo appears. Replaced it with the old 2x 2gb and it boots normally.
Loaded BIOS defaults, didn't work. Erased CMOS by removing the battery, didn't work either. BIOS is updated to latest W8 version.
Also with just 1x 4gb in one slot, the problem stays the same: laptop doesn't boot. (Also tried for the other one of course to make sure the problem is not that one of them is broken.)
How do I restore windows 7 to my laptop when the option for dell data safe restore is not one of the options when I try to repair it ? I have never had this problem before. Only just pressed F8 , repair computer but the last option is not coming up. I have the discs that came with it and when I tried it with these discs in the same result.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy XPS L501x does not accept the 130W charger from Dell.
The original charger (90W) was broken, so I bought a new 130W charger (Art-Nr. 450-12071).
With this 130W charger connected, the BIOS says "Unknow device installed".
When I use an old 60W charger (Inspiron 6000) then the BIOS says something about a "60W AC ..."
I have already installed the current BIOS version A08 !
So, what can I do to repair my system. The L501x will not not recharge the battery with any of the chargers.
I have a brand new Dell XPS with Model : L501X purchased in Malaysia hand carried to Philippines about 2 weeks ago.
Upon receiving I have noticed that a Blue Screen appears with nvlddmkm.sys error every time I play a video initially stored in the laptop hard drive or via youtube.
I have also noticed there were two video drivers installed which where Intel HD graphics and Geforce GT 420M drivers. I installed an updated GT 420M driver through driver downloads in dell support. Unfortunately it did not resolve the issue.
To relieve my doubts of driver conflicts, I have freshly installed a Windows 7 home premium but BSOD still keeps on occurring.
I am currently running this computer using only one video driver (Intel HD Graphics), I want to run this computer using Nvidia Geforce GT 420M.
How am I gonna do that without having BSOD recurring?
Is it also normal to hear some frequently very mild ticking sound coming from the right side of the keyboard and mildly grounding sting on the plastic aluminum colored frame around the keyboard?
BTW, here are some hardware info :
Model : L501X
Processor : Core i5
Ram : 4 Gb
Hdd : 500 Gb
VCard : Nvidia Geforce GT 420M - 1 Gb
I've just changed the hard drive from original to an SSD (cloned image) and changed nothing else.I've put it back together but when I press the Power button, nothing happens at all.
The battery shows fully charged, but there seems to be no power going to the system itself. When I plug in the power adapter, the light comes on for 1s then shuts off (I suspect that's just because the battery is charged) Is there a power reset somewhere if the battery has been out for a few days?
My laptop has started to shutdown randomly.
Battery is fine and power is plugged in. No Blue screen. No warning.
I'm having the seemingly all-too-common issue charging my laptop. I'm trying to update the BIOS bus as the battery is below 10%, it throws an error.
Upgrading from DOS doesn't work either as the updater cannot be run in DOS mode. I've tried all the usual stuff (reseating, etc)
The laptop is the XPS 15 (L501X).
I have an HP Pavilion dm4-1150ea running Windows 7 64bit.
I bought a bluetooth audio receiver and it paired with the laptop and installed a driver. I was able to stream audio to the receiver but when I closed the laptop and later opened it, it stopped working.
I looked in device manager and the bloetooth radios were no longer there and there were no bluetooth devices under Network Adapters. They had been there previously.
I rebooted a few times and it still didn't work. I got it to work once and it coincided with putting the power lead in. However, it didn't work for long.
HP Wireless Assistant says that Bluetooth is disabled in Device Manager.
I tried downloading the latest bluetooth driver from the HP site but it won't install because bluetooth isn't running.
At some point I got a message saying that a USB device had failed. I can see a warning icon on an "Unknown Device" in the USB Controllers section of Device Manager.
I tried to do a system restore but that failed because it couldn't get access to a file.
how I can get blue tooth working again?
I recentlly bought a new HP 14-d106TX laptop. I have installed all the drivers from HP website.
But the bluetooth doesn't seem to be working. It is not detecting any of my bluetooth devices, neither my phone or my headset.
