  I C660-15r laptop and the motherboard no longer works, the reference is the - 6841p.
  I saw one for sale.

  My question is if I buy this record, it will be in being all problems if so what will be the questions please.

  Someone did he do not any other compatible with this laptop motherboards also and if so what are the part numbers, thanks a lot,

  Well, the laptop card mother replacement isn t easy. Its more complicated such as on desktop computers.
  First of all its really difficult to disassemble the whole laptop and on the other hand; After the replacement of the motherboard the DMI string must be updated.

  The DMI code is programmed in each motherboard and the DMI string contains information about the cell phone as; Serial number, model number, etc.

  Without this update, some software requiring such information might not work properly. Also, the laptop recovery is not possible.

  This is why this should be replaced by a mobile technician.

  > As someone not of any other motherboards compatible with this laptop and if so what are the part numbers, thank you very much
  You must use the motherboard published for series Satellite A660.
  Don t think another motherboard is compatible.

• Questions on the Dual-Boot Linux/Win8 on Inspiron 15R

  I recently got a new computer Dell laptop, Inspiron 15R, and I want to dual-boot with Windows 8 and Linux. I'm not familiar with Windows. I use Debian based Linux flavors, but I've only used the 32-bit versions on PC with BIOS (not UEFI). I never put in place a system dual boot, I usually just run Linux and one at a time unless I am running from a USB key. The laptop is running Win 8, basically, as he came. I have not updated to 8.1 Win. I have not moved all the files on the laptop yet.

  Issues related to the:

  1. If I use "Dell Backup and Recovery", the reinstallation disks will allow me to do a completely clean install of win 8?

  2. relocation records re-create the configuration factory of partitioning and include backup partition?

  3. can I move the backup partition that is pre-installed in other media (I have 4 partitions for dual boot-Win8 need, root, / Home, swap)?

  4. can I leave the backup partition, have my 3 partitions for Linux, no Win partition and reinstall Windows from backup partition should I have to?

  5. can I choose what software is installed when I create/use the backup disks?

  6. can I add software that I installed when I create the backup disks?

  7. should I have the Windows product key to reinstall? If Yes, where is it? (no sticker on the bottom of the laptop)

  9. can I run Windows on a Flash DRIVE (or SD) as I can with Linux?

  10. can I install Win 8 to an external hard drive?

  10. is it better to shrink the Windows partition and reinstall Windows on a partition?

  11. how small the Windows partition can be?

  17. given that the laptop is equipped with Internet Explorer, can I copy this program and run it in wine? (It's really the software only Windows only, that I need, to test software)

  I'm sorry that there are so many questions, I always try to understand all my options before doing anything permanent. Thanks in advance for any help :)

  1. If I use "Dell Backup and Recovery", the reinstallation disks will allow me to do a completely clean install of win 8?

  No it won't be a "clean" installation This will be a facility of factory settings. i.e. Windows pre-installed drivers and preinstalled software such as McAfee. Make sure that you install Dell Backup and Recovery version 1.7.1.2 before using it. See here for more details:

  

  You need a DVD of resettlement to clean install, call Support Dell technique for her.

  2. relocation records re-create the configuration factory of partitioning and include backup partition?

  USB recovery will recreate the system partition.

  3. can I move the backup partition that is pre-installed in other media (I have 4 partitions for dual boot-Win8 need, root, / Home, swap)?

  You will have problems this, unless you can get several disks in your system and have a Linux hard drive and a hard disk of Windows separately.

  4. can I leave the backup partition, have my 3 partitions for Linux, no Win partition and reinstall Windows from backup partition should I have to?

  No it does not work like that, you will not be able to boot from the partition recovery making it useless. However, you can start Recovery USB.

  5. can I choose what software is installed when I create/use the backup disks?

  No, as mentioned previously this is not not a "clean" installation and drivers and software preloaded such as McAfee will be included.

  6. can I add software that I installed when I create the backup disks?

  Not unless you get a DVD to reinstall and then install all your software on 1 large Windows partition with nothing else on the disc, then use Dell backup and restore. Or you buy a premium version of Dell backup and restore.

  7. should I have the Windows product key to reinstall? If Yes, where is it? (no sticker on the bottom of the laptop)

  Integrated sound in BIOS here:

  

  8. can I use the product key or from backup disks to run Win 8 in a virtual machine under Linux?

  No, you cannot license is OEM and the virtual machine has a virtual BIOS which will be recognized as another computer. It will not work and you will have problems to activate product. Media created with DBaR does not work on a virtual Dell BIOS or not.

  9. can I run Windows on a Flash DRIVE (or SD) as I can with Linux?

  N °

  10. can I install Win 8 to an external hard drive?

  N °

  10. is it better to shrink the Windows partition and reinstall Windows on a partition?

  Its usually best to clean install. However, it is the DVD of resettlement.

  11. how small the Windows partition can be?

  It depends on how much you want to add. At least 20 GB however.

  12. Windows will be able to access the/home partition? If not, is there a way to set up a separate partition for/home on Windows, Linux can access? Or do the / Home partition readable for Windows?

  You can make a partition for Windows and Linux to share.

  13. do not set up the dual boot somehow cancel my warranty on the hardware of the laptop?

  No, the warranty is for the hardware and not software. Dell you normally would have to restore the system to factory settings if help you hollow troubleshooting Windows so only. They will still carry the material well.

  14. If I end up doing a boot of Linux and using Wine for Windows software, which will void my warranty?

  N ° Ditto as above.

  15 is it my laptop to change any empty not compatible equipment (possibly wireless card) the warranty on the material of the opening?

  He should be ok, as long as you don't damage it. Usually, these interchangeable parts are readily available. Confer with the user manual at the parts remove.

  16. given that the laptop came with Win 8, is it possible to install older versions of Win on it instead of 8?

  Windows 7 64 bit can be installed, but you will need a new Windows license unless it came with Windows 8.0/8.1 Professional (in this case, you can use downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional). You may have trouble with older versions.

  17. given that the laptop is equipped with Internet Explorer, can I copy this program and run it in wine? (It's really the software only Windows only, that I need, to test software)

  I don't have much experience with wine, but it is not as simple as copying a .exe for IE11.

• Satellite C660-15r - restore Windows 7 without password

  I bought Toshiba Satellite C660-15r off someone, but the problem is that there is a password at startup upward.
  It's very well because I was about to restore it somehow but when I go to the restoration of windows you need a password to access.

  Is it possible to reinstall windows with using windows restore. I really hope that someone can help you.

  My advice is to follow:
  When you buy used laptop install OS again to have the own operating system preinstalled. Use the Toshiba recovery image, if possible.
  Just a question: do you mean password BIOS or Windows login password?

  If the previous user has put a password, you need and without that password, you can do nothing.
  If the pre-installed OS is locked with password login, you can install OS using recovery DVDs and you don't need any password for it. I just hope that the previous owner has created this recovery DVDs.

• Black screen after Windows Update 8.1 in Dell Inspiron 15R 5537

  Hi guys,.

  Hello, I have updated my Dell Inspiron 15R laptop 5537 Windows 8 Pro to Windows Pro 8.1 by using the Application Store.

  After a wait of nearly 6 hours, update has been made and after the installation of Windows, display was black, cursor blinking... I checked in the Microsoft Web site, and I found that not only me and a lot of Dell customers are facing the same question. I luckily managed to start in safe mode and I uninstalled both of my video drivers and I'm back to my windows 8.1. After that I updated my video drivers as shown in the link below, always my screen turns off. If I had no other choice than the reset my pc to windows 8 pro.

  Driver video link: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/inspiron-15r-5537?driverId=PWTRP&osCode=W864&fileId=3287401962&languageCode=en&categoryId=VI

  When I was checking for the latest version of the driver for Intel Graphics & AMD Radeon that supports windows 8.1, I am able to find a driver on the dell Web site.

  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/SG/en/sgdhs1/DriverDetails/product/Inspiron-17R-5737?driverId=6GGGM why it is not being updated in the list of corresponding product drivers... In fact I think that it is the fix. I'm not sure.

  If one has updated and I need technical support dell for this

  Hi guys,.

  After much research, I understand that is the problem because of the Intel video driver. There is a beta Intel video driver package that supports Windows 8.1. Try this update package and display your results. As I've already restored to windows 8. It will take at least 4 to 6 hours to update me the State. The link below is for Dell Inspiron 15R 5537 model.

  http://FTP.Dell.com/published/pages/Inspiron-15R-5537.html and install Intel HD Graphics Driver ver 10.18.10.3308 4400. You must follow the link because this driver is not yet downloaded in Dell drivers & downloads (referred in Dell Post)

• Computer laptop screen flickering and horizontal lines in Inspiron 15r SE 7520

  I have a laptop Dell inspiron 15r is who is 1.1years old (model - 7520). It worked well up to that of a few days. Last week, he began giving a horizontal line of white point at the top of the screen (like that... in white) for the entire width of the screen. Since yesterday, or a similar line began to appear at the bottom too. Two of these online come and go every 2-3 sec. And the screen will jump a little (like 5 pixels or larger) and it will also sometimes shake which makes it difficult to read letters.

  The problem exists everywhere, even in the start screen. In short, when I press power button / stop and screen start showing something problem also begins.

  Today, I plugged an external lcd display via a vga cable and it works fine. No line and no flickering. So I guess that the GPU is ok? What could be the problem? Would be - this contact that loose or something cable laptop computer screen?

  Another question: I got the security, including the protection against accidental damage and stuff for a year. But since I was outside this period, now, what do I do?

  And since I am outside the warranty period anyway is it OK if I open my laptop and try something?

  Help, please!

  If you have found the solution please share with me.

• Smart response caching: HARD + SSD on Inspiron 15R drive SE, mSATA value SRT, still no button "Accelerate."

  Hello

  This is probably a common problem that has been explained earlier, but I cannot find an answer here-I found describing almost the same question, but still not the same as the son.

  So I have a cool Inspiron 15R SE with pre-installed Windows 8, 1 to HDD and SSD 32 GB on mSATA included for caching purposes. The problem is that, as far as I can see, without acceleration/cache that really happens with my SSD as just another drive.

  In the BIOS my mSATA operation is set to 'Intel Smart Response technology' which seems to be a good option for caching. Looks like on this screenshot I took from another thread, the yellow highlighted option is selected in my system:

  

  But when I boot in Windows 8 and run the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology, I don't see "Accélération" button / tab - as if my drive is not eligible or is in the wrong mode. This is the screenshot of my Intel utility for you to see there is no option to activate the cache:

  

  If it's relevant, my SSD drive appears in my disk management console and is also available as a regular drive in Explorer and other files with a drive letter assigned managers (guess which indicates the acceleration is not in use).

  There is also a Hibernate (8 GB) on this disk partition, but there is still enough for caching (mandatory min 16 GB, 20 GB left) free space. Should I try to disable hibernation? My hiberfil.sys file is on the HARD drive so that probably won't help. Here is a screenshot of another utility pre-installed from Intel, Intel Quick Start Technology Manager, if this might be relevant:

  

  Any ideas are much appreciated, I've been strongly trying this additional disc and it was actually the main reason for me to choose this particular laptop model. It's a shame, I can't use it for some reason any.

  Thank you very much!

  I found the answer. To activate the acceleration must be no. PARTITIONS on the SSD drive even if it is still not enough allocated space.

  If the partition of QuickStart technology, with that my laptop came prevented Rapid Storage to accelerate.

  After I deleted all partitions on the disk, it worked.

  If you still need the partition of quick start or for other purposes, you can specify less space for acceleration during the installation and create your partition later.

• Inspiron 15R 5520 strange problem

  Hello

  My laptop is DELL Inspiron 15R 5520 and I bought it 3 years ago and it was nice but I recently had a problem with my laptop and I hope someone can identify the problem and help solve it.

  The problem is that my laptop makes 1 beep per second every time I press the power button and I had to hold the power button to turn off the laptop and the same thing continues 3 - 4 times until finally turns on and boots in Windows as usual. I was able to run diagnostics ePSA and it found no problems with Windows, I was able to run a test on the motherboard using the program Assistant to the support that I downloaded from DELL website, but the result of the test is passed. It seems that my laptop does not start in Windows as soon as the first test but she page and fail to start for a while and after several tests, it boots into Windows as it should. Can someone tell me what is the real reason behind this and how to fix this?

  Sorry for the long description of the question and thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

  Hi GLADIATORX2,

  I see that ejn63 has responded to previous queries 2.

  Yes, you can get an external enclosure from a local store, connect your HARD drive to another system and use it as a HARD drive external.

  Let us know if you have any other questions.

• Inspiron 15R 7537 does not connect to the mini speakers Bose SoudLink Bluetooth

  I can't connect my mini speaker Bose Bluetooth for my Inspiron 15R 7537. It does not appear in the list of available Bluetooth devices so that my cell phone, so I know that Bluetooth is turned on. -I placed the speaker Bose directly next to the Inspiron 15R and tried to add it, but no luck. I am running Windows 8 on this laptop. In the Device Manager, I right click the Bluetooth of Dell and Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator (whatever it is) and selected 'update software of the reader' but the message came up saying to my drivers are up to date. -I have 2 other Dell computers that work well with this speaker - a desktop computer XPS 8700 running Windows 7 and a Tablet Dell coming 11 Pro running Windows 8.1, so I know that the speaker works. I was able to pair and connect the Bose speakers for them and they play very well. The problem seems to be with the Inspiron 15R. I would like suggestions. Thank you.

• "Stop 0x000000A5 the BIOS of the system is not fully ACPI-compatible every time as the installation of a new windows 7 integral over Inspiron 15R N5110.

  Hello

  I have installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on many brands of laptops, but when I installed it on Inspiron 15R N5110, (core i5 and 4GBRAM). I faced an error at startup of windows 7 after completing the installation.
  NOTE: When the installation finished and restarted my computer, this window shown to me.
  
  
  
  Two options from the two options above I chose, I found myself with the blue screen:
  
  
  Error blue screen said something these ' BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Contact your system provider for an updated BIOS I don't know what that means and I don't know where is the culprit. I wish I could capture this error screen. However, it is impossible to do because I wasn't the Windows environment. 

  
  

  Even if the error related to BIOS necessary for the update, so how could I update as long as windows has not begun.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Is there something that needs to be configured in the BIOS before installing Windows 7 on Dell laptops.
  I'm quite surprised that the previous system was windows 7, but it was Home Premium.
  
  
  The strangest thing is when I tried to start to repair the disk and even disk instillation of Windows to resolve startup problems, I found that this startup repair couldn't fix problems.
  
  
  When I tried to do these steps:
  
  
  1. Insert your Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer from the CD.
     Note Some computers may require you change basic input/output system (BIOS) settings before you can start the computer from a CD-ROM. For more information about changing the BIOS, see your computer documentation.
  2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  3. If your computer is configured to dual-boot or multiple boot, select the appropriate installation of Windows XP.
  4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password and press ENTER.
     Note By default, the administrator password is blank in Windows XP Home Edition.
  5. By default, Hiberfil.sys is usually located in the directory root (C:\). At the command prompt, type del hiberfil.sys and then press ENTER.
  6. Restart the computer.
  When I arrived at "system recovery options, I saw that my system is listed, then I chose then, but I found myself with this ' this"system recovery options"version is not compatible with the version of windows that you are trying to fix." Try to use a different compatible with this version of windows recovery disk, even if I'm sure only that the same disk to install windows I have installed since.
  
  
  NOTE: I do not add RAM or other devices. There is a windows 7 Home premium and I just re installed a windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. I don't really know what the previous windows version 7 is 32 or 64 bit.
  I checked the dell forum and I found ' your computer goto your BIOS F2

  That goto advance Select ATA to instead of AHCPI save the setting, and then try to restart your Windows 7

  hope it will work. »

  But he did not AHCPI, but I found AHCI and let ATA instead of AHCI, but no difference that happened.

  Hello

  Check the steps suggested by LoneWolf1983 from the link below and see if it helps.

  Warning: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  BIOS: Frequently asked questions

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  Thank you very much

  I checked this thread, and I found this solves the problem

  I have changed the serial port in the BIOS for 2F8/IRQ3 and I have not had a blue screen since... fingers crossed, it's her!

  But as you know that no matter what BIOS are different from others.

  Thus, I have not found any serial port in the BIOS to be replaced by 2F8/IRQ3

  NOTE: My problem is when you install a new version of Windows.

  In addition, every time a new windows installation 7 and facing the Blue error screen, I started to Macrium Rescue CD and clicked "fix windows startup", and then when restart my windows, I was not facing the the Blue error screen. If windows starts successfully.

  If the blue screen error was tied to the BIOS, the Refelct Macrium rescue CD wouldn't no matter what (not know this problem)

• Inspiron 15R SE 7520 video card problems

  Dear DELL,

  This is a story of love at first sight, a happy period of parade and then heartbreak. When shopping for a new laptop, I fell upon a jewel of one. display 1080 p MATTE? Check. Zippy image Ivy Bridge CPU? Check. Clean, dedicated GPU? Check. Large amounts of RAM? Check. HARD drive tough? Check. FOUR USB 3.0 ports? Check. Optical disc (call me old-fashioned)? Check. Decent price tag? Check (after rebate online). Didn't hesitantly does not, I immediately bought an Inspiron 7520 home in July of 2012. At first, everything was a lot. I had a wonderful relationship with my laptop. The AMD Radeon HD M 7730 run latest games on medium to high heat, as long as I was not too hard with the resolution. Ultra high heat were out of the question, but I was fine with that. Of course, if DELL had to procure a 7750M or a 7770M, things would have been even more pink. Ah, good times!

  As they say, all good things have an end. This relationship that bordered on perfection did not last long. In October of the same year, a tragedy struck. My baby was delivered with Win7 Home Premium 64-bit, but since I am eligible for the purchase of Win8 at a subsidized price, I went for him just after launched Win8. Initially, I had been suspicious of the upgrade because I was afraid that there would be problems of compatibility with my existing games (I have a large library of titles of steam). However, after researching this issue, I discovered that there was not much to fear. WIN8 seemed to be just as good for gaming under Win7 (or even better). So I made the leap.

  And here! Immediately after the installation of Win8, it became clear that DELL had not fully prepared for the influx of new users of Win8 7520. From the beginning, my AMD video card stopped working. Needless to say, it was obviously a driver problem. I'm a patient person. That's why I decided to wait for DELL or AMD released a newer version of pilots 7730M. Because, you know, builders/OEMs need time to do their stuff. And I understood that. Take a few weeks, heck, take a couple of months. So, I want a fully functional GPU again so that I can play games Beyond 800 x 600 on low heat. Now, when I try to open the Catalyst Control Center, it just gives me this error: " " "Catalyst Control Centre cannot be started. Currently, there are no settings that can be configured with the Catalyst Control Center'. Tick, tock, tick tock... Fast forward to today, March 5, 2013, and it's been about half a year what Win8 was created.

  Here's a question, DELL - WHERE ON EARTH ARE THE LATEST DRIVERS for the AMD RADEON HD 7730 M?

  Before any tech support agent gives me an official response asking me to troubleshoot/diagnosis/attempt to repair my system, I'll save you the trouble: don't. Here is a (non exhaustive) list of the steps I have taken in the past half a year to troubleshoot/diagnosis/attempt to repair my system:

  -I went through the whole process "devmgmt.msc".

  -J' I updated my version of .NET for the last.

  -J' downloaded and installed ALL the latest drivers for BIOS, GPU, WLAN, USB 3.0, memory card reader, and even, you name it. Yes, not even the latest GPU drivers on your work site. The 7730M does everything just quite Win8. This means that the two latest drivers are not later, or that you have published a very sloppy update that probably made things worse rather than improve it.

  -J' checked multiple for a line (beginning with DELL) for corrections.

  -J' visited the site Web of AMD and unacceptable, specific Win8 for 7730M drivers have not been released yet. Worse yet, it seems that they have not committed to a schedule for updating their drivers!

  -J' tried to install different versions of drivers of M 7730, none has made a difference.

  -I probably did some other things but I do not remember anything else right now.

  Look, it's very simple, DELL. On behalf of all THOSE who have purchased the 7520 from you (and I know that he is a popular model), we are sick and tired of waiting for an update of the simple driver! If AMD can not get their shit right, move them, push, force to! You have a business relationship with them, but you also have a relationship with us, your customers. If you indeed treat us like your valuable customers, so please, please, please, please, please, just publish this update of elusive driver that reactivates the GPU in our 7520, if running on Win7 or Win8. It is a shame for me; In fact, I took the time to type this essay just to release all my pent-up frustration.

  Finally, I got it with not be able to enjoy something that I legitimately own the way I want. If you don't sort this issue as soon as possible, I give you my word, I don't have to buy another DELL again. Do not respond to this letter by means of a useless official response you give to each complainant unique, I like to take concrete measures. Also, I don't want to go down to Win7 I like Win8, so this isn't an option as well. This issue has climbed out of control - simply by looking at the number of threads complaining about this same exact thing makes me want to pull out my hair. Once more, on behalf of all Inspiron 15R SE 7520 owners, I beg DELL and/or AMD to lead to a permanent solution to this problem quickly. Pretty please?

  Yours sincerely,

  An extremely agitated owner Inspiron 7520

  I've been using a n5010 with a core i3 370 m and 4650 m since 2.5 years even if there is an increase in acceptable performance for me: p I know I shouldn't expect to play on the set high in the good fps but it will do the job for me. And Yes, I couldve built much better desktop at the same price, but I'll take it to College for CAD, so there need to be a portable system. Instead, think wait you two months or more for computers laptops haswell will be worh it?
