One of my computers is a Dell XPS M1210. When I purchased it the OS was XP. Later on I upgraded (uhh that is questionable these days..) it to Vista Ultimate. I am thinking of doing a "dual boot" for it but I cannot locate the registration code for Vista. Seems the code was on a box that got tossed. Does anyone short of calling Microsoft know how to locate the registration number perhaps somewhere on the computer?
View 12 RepliesI had my new dell delivered last week and on going through some of the documentation I came across the Win 7 reinstallation DVD on the back of which it says, and I quote, "The Microsoft operating system Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is a multicoloured label located on the side or bottom of your computer. The COA contains the product key code, which might be required to complete the operating system setup".
My new machine DOES NOT have such a sticker. Is this right or is this mistake. As it stands now I do not have a product key and therefore might not be able to reinstall the OS.
Could someone advise whether this is expected from Dell or should I get on the phone and demand answers?

I have a problem, which seems to be a common problem with Win 7 and bluetooth but I have been searching the far reaches of th einternet for 4 hours no with no luck.
My laptop finds the bluetooth hardware and installs drivers automatically, and says it is working correctly, but it cannot find any devices, it just says "searching" and never finds anything.
Well, after nearly a year since I've done the copper mod, my GPU has finally give in .
Currently, I'm in the process of shipping it back to Dell's repair depot under their limited Nvidia extended warranty to have the motherboard replaced. However, to do so would mean that I have to revert to the original condition to avoid the warranty being void upon inspection.
Unfortunately, I can't locate the blue thermal conductive pads that I took off since the mod...
I purchased dell Inspiron 3520 with Linix OS. i formatted and installed Windows 7 home premium. downloaded and installed all driver files from dell website. no device is unidentified in the device manager. everything is fine except the blue tooth. Device manager shows bluetooth as working and i can click the bluetooth icon in system tray. but strange thing is it wont detect any Bluetooth devices. another issue i observed is that when i try to install a Dell device driver for blue tooth it will generate an error message "Activate Bluetooth Using Wireless Switch". i tried FN +F2 key but it works with wireless only. i tried PC health checkup utility . and all kind of checking. checked bios whether Bluetooth is disabled. i could not find option to enable bluetooth. tried windows update.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an hp DV7-1135nr laptop. Recently there was an incident and one of my friends managed to throw up into my laptop while it was open and on. The computer was off before i could pull the battery and even after being cleaned and dried will not turn on, this leads me to believe that the system board has shorted out and needs to be replaced. Where can i find a replacement system board and how much should i expect to pay?
Seeing as how i have already taken the laptop apart, are there any upgrades I can do while replacing the sytem board? It has a 2.0 ghz dual core AMD
processor, and crappy integrated graphics. I was wondering if i would be able to purchase and install a better system board?
I never got around to installing the Windows 7 beta image, but now I have no idea where I saved it on my MacBook Pro. I definitely did download it. What were the names for the 64-bit downloader (I forget if there was a downloader or how I downloaded it, it was official from Microsoft's site, though) and the 64-bit Windows 7 image? It'd be good to clear up a few GBs from my HD.

How to reinstall it? I tried to do so by clicking this link [URL] .... but it just came up with an error message.
my laptop vostro 3460 won't boot any more. When I turn it on it loads the Dell logo (I suppose it passes the POST) but then it just shows a black page. It could be anything, but I guess that it may have something to do with Windows 8 and the UEFI system. I also would be quite happy to install linux mint and get rid of Windows, but I don't know how to change the boot priority order.
So my questions are:
1 is it a hardware issue ? if not, can I solve my problem easily ?
2 how can I change the boot priority order, to install mint ?
