Dell Inspiron 7537 :: Won't Turn On

Dec 1, 2014

I am a bit of a tech head, and urged my wife to wait until the "good" touch screen has well laptops came out.  I even wrote some glowing reviews of Dell's inspiron 15 7537 after I received it ([URL....)Unfortunately, just a few weeks out of warranty, the trusty laptop has stopped powering up. The symptoms: laptop will not power up.  Things I have tried:

-Making sure the power cable was plugged in (LED is on the power ring on the plug itself)
-Making sure the PC recognizes the power cable and the power adapter isn't loose (power ring brightens when plugged in)
-Trying different outlets, including several direct to wall outlets
-Removing battery and trying to power up with just power cable
-Removing battery and AC adapter, holding power for 3+ minutes to "clear static charge"
-Doing above and then plugging power cable in
-One ram chip at a time
-No ram

Unfortunately nothing works.  Fans don't turn on, lights don't turn on, display doesn't turn on, no noises or beeps.  Other than the power ring on the plug getting brighter when I plug it in, there is no indication that the device is receiving any power.  The build quality of the device is so high and my wife has been very satisfied.

Dell Inspiron 7537 :: Won't Turn On

Jan 18, 2015

I have my laptop since August last year. I bought it direct from Dell. I was using it today and closed the lid to go into sleep. Now it won't turn on at all. Once or twice it slightly reacted and showed Dell logo but then shuts down. The power light sort of fades out.

I can't turn it on at all so can't do any sort of troubleshooting.

Dell Inspiron 7537 :: Beeps When Tapped

May 16, 2014

I got my replacement insiprion and it is a refurbished model. a couple of days ago Today I was typing and I noticed beeps coming from the right side of the machine. I opened the back cover and the sound appears to be coming from the Hard Drive.  Dell's quality has really gone down hill. They send me one replacement and that one was riddled with issues... I demand another replacement and this one came and I thought "wow everything works" and this issue pops up.. I also have a dell xps 13 with the coil whine.. Dell really is horrible now. How do they get away with giving customers this stuff? Really.. who is the head of QC needs to be fired.I have bought many dell computers over the years and I have to say the decline in quality is very apparent... I will NOT be buying another dell.. and for the record I have bought a couple of desktops, a couple of laptops... I will no longer give them another cent besides extending the warranty on this machine because I'll need it after the quality of their products..

Dell Inspiron 7537 :: Won't Update To Windows 8.1

Dec 25, 2013

Spent about half a day now on getting the Windows 8.1 Pro update for my new Inspion 15. However each time after installing the update from the store and rebooting, I am greeted with the message that the update could not be installed, error number 0xC1900101 - 0x20017. I have installed all Windows Updates and also updated all Intel and NVidia divers. Uninstalling everything preinstalled by Dell did not change the result either. What else could I try? 

Here are all entries from the %windir%WindowsUpdate.log file from the time frame in which I attempted an update:

2013-12-24    18:26:12:654    1004    ba8    AU    #############

Dell Inspiron 7537 :: Battery Draining While OFF

Dec 7, 2014

My Inspiron 7537 battery is draining itself when the laptop is powered off.  I have all the latest drivers for everything and the latest BIOS.  Everything is updated.  I have all the best software for viruses and spyware.

It has been happening for a couple of months now.  I usually have it plugged in when I use it.  Randomly when I turn it on the next afternoon after turning it off at 100% the night before it can be as low as 70% the next day.  Sometimes the battery is still at 100%.

Dell Inspiron 7537 :: Does Not Recognize Built In Touchpad

Jan 12, 2015

My Dell Inspiron 15 (7537) simply does not recognize the built in touchpad for a couple of days now.

I did run all the tests even the ePSA test and all passed with OK, but never the less there are not tests for the touchpad.

If I unplug the external mouse the mouse pointer dissapears, as a sign that there is no device present.(I tried to install and reinstall the synaptics drivers - Input_Driver_15K08_WN_17.0.13.51_A02 ) but no luck at all.

Furthermore, I tried to boot the system using the windows 7 and 8 installation media, as well as Linux Mint, but there is no mouse pointer unless I plug in  an external mouse.

It seams to me that the hardware is faulty.

I still have 1 more month left from the standard warranty, what should I do ?

Dell Inspiron 7537 :: Black Screen And Cannot Wake Up When Sleep?

Dell Inspiron 15 7537 :: Taking So Long To Start From Sleep?

Dec 27, 2014

I'm trying to understand why my new Inspiron 15 7000 series takes so long to start after being put to sleep as I don't believe it should take this long.

The power settings are configured to go into sleep mode whenever the lid is closed or the power button is pressed.  If, after closing the lid, I re-open the lid within a short space of time, the laptop bursts into life almost immediately.  However, if it is left longer, then when opening the lid, nothing happens and I have to (briefly) press the power button.  It then takes about 30 seconds for the windows desktop to appear.  This is simply too long!

I've also noticed that if the laptop is left idle and it "powers off", which is set to sleep mode then it again takes about 30 seconds to resume when pressing the power button.

The laptop is running Windows 8.1 64 bit and has 8gb of RAM and an i7-4510U CPU.

I have a 5 year old Acer laptop running windows 7, which is faster at starting from hibernate mode than this Dell Inspiron, which suggests that the Dell is actually hibernating, however none of the power settings are set for it to do this.

How to get this Dell Inspiron to start in a reasonable time from sleep mode as 30 seconds is not acceptable.

Dell :: Inspiron 7000 (7537) Headphones Static Noise

Nov 16, 2013

I received my Inspiron 7537 1080 3 weeks ago. Everything works perfectly except the static noise after connecting headphones. Tried different headphones,latest drivers nothing worked. Dell has sent an engineer to look at the problem. He replaced entire motherboard but the noise is still there. I tried Bluetooth headphones and external sound card but this hissing noise is always there in the background. I am thinking about getting another one after refund but not sure if this static noise is present in all models or was this only one off.

Dell Inspiron 7537 :: Backlighting Keyboard And Windows Mobility Center

Jul 12, 2014

Ever since I updated my software from windows 8 to windows 8.1 I lost all the features displayed on the windows mobility center related to the cutomized section from dell. I had to download the drivers to get the gestures configurations for the mousepad, the same happened with the audio drivers I downloaded both from the dell site, but i can't control the usage of the backlight of my keyboard, It turns off like every 20 seconds when there's no activity, and I want to configure it differently and get back the cutomized section of the mobility center, 

it used to look like this :

Dell Inspiron 15 7537 :: Refused To Start Until Remove Battery And Put It Back In

Dec 10, 2014

I own a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series i7537T-5005sLV.A short while ago I tried to power on my laptop but it didn't come on. I thought that the battery drained and I didn't notice however when I plugged in the power cord no lights came on. I decided to open up the laptop and remove the battery and put back the battery and try to power on the laptop. It came on after doing that and I saw lights again.

I also notice that after reseating the battery, the latency between pressing the power button and the laptop actually coming on is shorter. It is almost instantaneous.Before there was about a 1.5 seconds delay. (THIS COULD BE MY IMAGINATION THOUGH)

I also noticed that I got little "pinches" or small shocks when my skin comes in contact with the edge of the laptop, especially at the end of the palm rest area. The shocking sensation could be cause the hair on my hands as my skin brush along the edges of the laptop as I type. I say this because I've never experienced a shock touching anywhere else on the laptop and I never felt a shock while using the tips of my fingers to touch the edges. 

One last thing I feel I should mention. Around the SD card slot area there is a small dent protruding outwards; barely noticeable. It was a brand new laptop and the seal on the box wasn't broken or tampered with so I am assuming that this was a manufacture's defect. One I was willing to overlook since the dent wasn't that bad and added some character to the laptop. However I am beginning to worry that the unit might be damaged and that is why I had the power issue.The laptop is about two weeks old. I had to replace the first one because the display had horizontal waves running from top to bottom. Even in the BIOS. They were especially visible against gray backgrounds.

Dell Inspiron 15 7537 :: Laptop Freezes When Turned On Or Resume From Sleep

Mar 15, 2014

I received a new Inspiron 15 7000 yesterday, and am experiencing the following issue:

Approximately every other time I try to either a) Turn On the laptop or b) Resume from sleep - the laptop freezes.

This is often accompanied by the backlit keyboard being lit and staying on. Nothing else happens. No screen etc. or other response. The only way to get the laptop to work is to hold down the power button to kill the machine, and try again. This usually works and the system starts in a seconds.

Dell Inspiron 15 7537 :: Touchpad Cursor Gets Stuck And Doesn't Respond To Movements

Oct 18, 2013

I recently purchased a new Inspiron 15 7000 (7537) with Windows 8.  I'm getting used to Windows 8, but really struggling with the integrated touchpad.  It's getting so frustrating I'm considering returning it.  The problems are hard to pin down, but in general:

-I often get the right click shortcut menu, when I'm just trying to click.  I've even changed both the right and left hand buttons to both be "click" (and neither be shortcut menu), but I still get the shortcut menu a lot.

-Sometimes the cursor gets stuck and doesn't respond to movements.  I've tried adjusting the touch sensitivity and disabled palm detection.  No change.

Dell :: Inspiron 6000 RAM Upgrade

Jul 23, 2009

I've got a 4-year-old Inspiron 6000 with 256 MB of RAM. I really don't know the first thing about laptop hardware, so I have a few questions that I hope someone can help me answer.

My laptop has been running pretty slowly for a while now. I don't play video games or do much that would require a lot of memory, although I suspect that Norton AntiVirus slows things down a lot, and iTunes as well (although I don't know that for sure).

Since I only have 256 MB of RAM, I'm wondering if upgrading by adding 512 MB, 1 GB or 2GB would help much/at all. If so, my other questions would be: how much should I get? What specifically should I buy (brand name, model, anything--cheapest would be preferable)? And how do I install it?

Dell :: Inspiron 9300 HDD Upgrade

May 9, 2009

I have an Inspiron 9300 with an 80GB IDE hdd. I have recently succesfully upgraded the RAM to 2gb. Im now looking to upgrade the HDD and would like to go for the Western Digital WD3200BEVE (320GB). I know there is something about the need to partition it as XP only sees up to 130GB but I also read somewhere that if you download HD Tune and if the 48 bit address box is checked then it will see the whole drive. As Im a bit of a newbie to all this, does that mean I can just pop the 320gb drive in and my system will see it straight away or will I have to partition it with no partition larger than 130GB?
Also does anyone know if the WD3200BEVE is the best one to go for in terms of performance and storage size?
