• Cannot turn on my wifi on a dell inspiron 9400

  We bought the linksys wrt54gs and all is well with our 2 other laptops to connect to the internet. I can't activate my wifi on dell inspiron 9400, in order to connect wireless. I think that this is supposed to be fn f2, to allow, but who doesn't.

  Help, please...

  What symbol is blue on your F2 key?

  (1) a radio station antenna?

  (2) a battery?

  (3) others?

  If you do not have a radio station antenna, then look for a switch turn on your wireless adapter.  If you have a switch, it should be located on the side of the computer.  If you have a switch, turn on the light of Wi - Fi to your computer on and outside.

  In addition, have messed about in the Bios of your computer?  If so, then maybe you accidentally turned off your card wireless in the bios of your computer.

  In addition, on some computers, you can disable the card wireless in your wireless network card settings (double-click on the bottom wireless icon on the right).  Then click here to see if your wireless card is turned off.

  Also, in Device Manager, where you found "Use this device (enabled)" - set to 'disable', restart the computer and then reset "enable" and see if that helps.

• Add SimpleDrive external hard drive for Inspiron 9400

  I use a drive external 250G hard SimpleTech SimpleDrive. I had plugged in a Dimension desktop computer and it works fine. I am abandoning the office and try to connect the external hard drive to my laptop Inspiron 9400. When I connect the drive via a usb cable, the disc sounds as if it's hunting and is never recognized by the laptop.  The external hard drive has its power supply on so I won't try to power it through the usb port. Any suggestions?

• Inspiron 9400 laptop, Windows Vista, black screen with cursor, befor connection, safe mode works.

  Good then Ive internet scowerd to subject a houre read a lot of black screen of death without success problems.  Ive come to the conclusion that it is a unique problem.

  Inspiron 9400, Windows vista

  Problem: I'm catching up after startup, it does not show the vista logo but showed the loading bar, doesn't make it to the login screen. Instead shows the bright black screen with a cursor, the cursor moves freely. Ctrl-alt-del does not work, StickyKeys is sound but no visual. So we know that this abomination of windows load. We are now trying to startup repair. We know that the battery did not work because more than a year, the bios indicates there is no battery, I wonder what this block that says battery is lol.

  Whatcha got for me internet doesn't let me down.

  Repair window said. May take a few minutes.

  Startup Repair process may take an hour to complete

• The upgrade of Inspiron 9400

  I have an Inspiron 9400 with 60 GB HDD & Windows XP. I plan to upgrade the hard drive of 320, & install Windows 7 and possibly Windows 10.  I was assured by the Dell technical support that my Inspiron works with Windows XP or Vista. I already ran Rebecca Linux Mint 32-bit from the DVD without any apparent problem. My question is, I can actually install Win 7, or should I switch to Linux? Windows XP gets worse & worse! I held account install Win 7 on a bootable usb hdd to test this point.

• Inspiron 9400/E1705 - lines vertical and the seeds, and then black screen on startup of the computer

  I have an Inspiron 9400/E1705 with a nVidia Geforce Go 7900 GS. A few months as the computer started showing the seeds while I was game (textures does not, massive downturn, etc.) and then finally horizontal began to appear on the screen, from start-up. I was unable to get into Windows with the exception of Safe Mode. I thought that the problem was the graphics card, and some users on this forum have confirmed this suspicion. Although in May 2007, when I was still under warranty, I got the card replaced, I don't was more under warranty at the time so I started shopping around for a replacement.

  Before that I bought a replacement, however, the computer just stopped starting upwards. Previously, at least I could get Safe Mode and check my e-mail or Word process; now the screen stays empty (the LCD and an external monitor) and seems not even to try to start. The power and it occupied lights turn green, however, and remain like that until I turn off the power. I tried to boot with a RAM chip, thanks to the optical drive removed, with the hard drive, removed, and combinations of these, just to see if anything would change (anything).

  My question is if this can also be a symptom of the graphics card does not, or I have a bigger problem on my hands?

  Thank you.

  Edit: I forgot to mention that I ran the diagnosis before the white screen began to arrive, and only errors have been associated with the video.  I can't run any diagnostic now, though, to see if there are new mistakes, which is why I want to confirm a dead card can do that until I get a new.

• Dell Inspiron 9400 and the charger has stopped working.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 and the charger has stopped working. I looked on the Dell support site and they sell no spare Chargers.  I looked on ebay and they are inundated with Chargers dell from £ 6 to £99.    But how can I be sure that they will not be some sloppily made Chinese clone that will burn my house!

  I would have a go to repair the charger If Dell has not seen fit to the heat of welding the two halves closed!

  You can search a person selling a genuine Dell PA10 adapter.  This is what you need.

• Inspiron 9400 / / Geforce 7800Go / / video artifacts, off PC.

  I've had my laptop for about 2 years, and so far not had any problems with it.

  Yesterday, I started to have small white lines on my screen.  Whenever it happens, it continues generally about 10-15 seconds, then my screen goes black and it goes to a blue screen of death, or just stops the PC.

  My first thought was that it was the video card.  Then I would reboot, and it went well until windows came, so I thought it would be... video drivers so I downloaded the latest drivers and restarted, worked fine for about an hour and then did the same thing.

  So I left it off for 10 minutes and then it booted up sit, worked fine again, so I started thinking it might be the fan/radiator because it happens after it has been for some time.

  So I left to sit completely off with battery all night last night, he's walking this morning, and I get the same thing immediately to turn that on it, on the Dell POST screen before windows never starts to load.

  Any suggestions?  Bad video card?  If it's a bad video card, anyone know where I can get a replacement or upgrade to this map?  When I search on dell, I get nothing for parts but a card radeon downgraded, which I really don't want to if I can avoid it.

  
  

• Inspiron 9400 problem 7900GS graphics card

  Greetings,

  I have random crashes with my current videocard(blue screens). This seems to happen every 2-45 minutes during the game. These games where works fine before without any problem. But lately all the matches (even older games) seem to crash regularly.

  After a short period I meet especially polygons deformed, lack of textures, Weird color pixels and some ASCII characters Mingle on the start screen.

  Using the Dell Diagnostic tool there is these error messages:

  3700:011 B error code
  MSG: Fan video expected on the LOW-END of 2500. Detected fan RPM = 3538.
  5300:0119 error code

  MSG: Detected a failure when writing and reading of the video memory. Video mode: 4 h (320 x 200 x 4). Address B8004h should read FFFFFFFFh, but read FFFFEFFH instead.
  This also happens with the following resolutions.
  6 h (640 x 200 x 2)
  DH (320 x 200 x 16)
  Huh (640 x 200 x 16)
  FH (640 x 350 x 16)

  11AH (1280 x 1024 x 65536)
  11Bh (1280 x 1024 x 17616076)

  Things that I've done so far: the drivers updated, Defrag, antivirus, adaware, memtest. But so far it does not solve the problem. I found similar posts in these forums with similar questions. Most of them not specifying that it is a hardware problem.

• Upgrade an Inspiron 9400 XP to Windows 7

  I have a 9400 I would like to upgrade to Windows 7, but do not know if she is capable of running. There a T2250, 1.73, 2MB, Dual Core processor and 512 MB of memory. This software update is possible on this machine?

  First of all, you can not upgrade - a Windows 7 installation must be done from the beginning (format-recharge-restore your files and applications).

  Yes, the system will work 7 - you need the 32 - bit version, as the Core Duo is not capable of EM64T.

• How can I disable the 'auto play' settings on my laptop built in SD card reader? I use Windows XP and it is a DELL INSPIRON 9400 laptop

  When I use a card reader external to see pictures on a CF card is not a problem, it gives me options to choose what need do is what I want my internal card reader to do, any help, advice or solutions would be very welcome for all your technicians over there.

  Follow the procedure described in the following article:

  "How to disable the Windows Autorun feature"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/967715 >

  There is a section in this article "How to selectively disable specific Autorun features", but you can disable it only based on the "Type" of the player.  What you can find, is that your CF card reader goes up as a 'removable disc' then your SD reader rises up like a 'fixed reader' (or vice versa) and it is the determining factor on the behavior that you get.

• Inspiron 9400 video card

  I have just discovered that I can not upgrade to Windows 10 because the video card won't support it.

  Can I replace the video card with one that will allow Windows to install 10?

  The chip is ATI (which is now AMD) but the card is the property of your system - nothing else cards originally shipped in these systems will work.

  Unlike computers desktop, computers cell phones very few use standard video cards (and with the vast majority of systems now come with welded video chips, it's a moot point with new systems).
