Connection user other Dell Inspiron 1525 problems

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and am unable to reach the Windows desktop. Embedded is Windows Vista, I tried almost all the options through the start screen Safe (F8). I resorted to Easy Recovery Essentials for Windows SystemDiscs.com download - allowed me to access the drive, but not to fix it.  I also tried Windows Defender Offline tool nothing helps.

In things now, the laptop boots up to the point where 'another user' login screen is displayed, and no password on Earth will allow you.  In addition, no matter how many times F8 is hit, the splash screen does not appear.

I have managed to copy all personal information off the drive, but I am not prepared to accept that the only solution is to buy a new hard drive.  What about windows
platform?  What I have to buy a new copy of the said so?  Why not just take the loophole to buy a new laptop? Is there anyone here willing to put their knowledge and experience to the table?  Sorry to her grumpy - any help would be greatly appreciated. Just an honest effort to try is all I ask.  Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Kestrel316,

OK, let's take it step by step. First, you must determine if the disc material is good or faulty. To do this, start on your drivers and utilities Dell disk and run the Dell diagnostics.

To test your hard drive using your Dell Drivers and Utilities disc:1. Reboot your system. When you see the Dell logo, hit F12 to enter the boot menu.2. Insert the Dell Drivers and Utilities disc in your CD/DVD drive.3. Pick the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.4. You will be prompted to hit any key to continue booting from the CD/DVD drive.5. You will be prompted to hit 1 to run the Dell diagnostics. You may see two such menus.6. Select Test System.7. Select Custom Test.7. Use the arrow keys or mouse to select your hard drive.9. Click Run Tests.10. Write down any error messages.

Second, if you need a replacement. Your Inspiron 1525 requires a laptop SATA hard drive. They are fairly easy to find at any electronics store or online.

Third, you the disks to reinstall Windows from Dell. You DO NOT need to buy a new copy. Your license provided with the laptop (it is on the bottom). Since you are outside the United States, you must call Dell customer service to order. They'll send you a Vista reinstall drive, as well as a drivers disk.

  • Unable to connect to a wireless network with Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista

    I set up a wireless about a week ago and have done with the following security features: WEP, activate only certain MAC address to connect and disabled to broadcast the SSID.  I was able to use it very well with my Mac computer using the airport, but when I tried to connect my roommates, a dell inspiron 1525 with vista computer, it can not connect.  I can locate the network but when I try to connect to the network, I get a message saying that for a Windows cannot connect to the network and that the wireless link has failed for unknown reasons.  He then said to contact your administrator, but it's me.  I have a basic knowledge of computers just enough to be dangerous and basically know what I'm going along.  If anyone has any advice for me, my roommate and I'll be very grateful.

    Thank you

    Too bad.  Apparently, I got the wrong MAC address.  I am now connected.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 Wireless and battery problems

    Hey! So, I recently dug my old laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1525.

    When I started it, it's horrible and basically endless sequence of beeps. Then finally he started on. Battery says "plugged in, not charging" and when unplugged the computer turns off. The Wireless does not work. I tried the switch on the side, and I tried to install the drivers from the drivers disk and a USB port with the updated drivers, I got from Dell. The wireless is not working. I have re-installed Windows Vista 32-bit. (The default OS) and still no luck.

    Any thoughts? Anything I should try? Thank you. :)

    Hello

    To get the deleted password BIOS you will need to contact Dell Technical Support.  We cannot do that here on the forums.  You will need to contact them (probably by telephone) and be able to verify ownership of this system in order to reset the password for them.  They will ask you things like the name and address of the shipping system was initially sent, the name of the owner (in archives), etc.

    If you don't know that information you can go to the online form for change of ownership of the American (he has a link to the international on this page if necessary) and the system of re-registration in your name in our system.  If you do not have this information, you will need to contact the original owner to get it, or call our Technical Support team and they will be able to give you a better idea of what they need.

    Reset / flashing the BIOS will allow this system to "see" the card if it is not currently (and until the card works).   Which should allow drivers, etc., will be installed, which theoretically should allow you to get out of the internet with the wireless connection.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 webcam problem.

    I use a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop since 2008 and now the webcam is not working. I noticed that when I turned on the laptop, I get a flashlight blue color on the left side of the webcam, but now I do not understand that the blinking light. I installed the drivers from the dell support center webcam, but still it does not work. I bought this from a GCC country & now I'm in Sri Lanka, so I'm in two minds whether to get this repaired here or no reasoning that I don't know somewhere appropriate here. It'll be a big help, if I get a solution for this online.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 - unrecognized on external screen HDMI output

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a HDMI output port.  I have had no success with getting a display actually receive a signal from the laptop.

    I tried Windows 7 and Ubuntu and when I connect the hdmi cable to my TV, the laptop instantly detects a second display device, and I can even move my mouse cursor off the screen of my laptop when the 'extended display' expected to appear on the TV (clone of office, only showing the screen hdmi using FN + F8 ", etc. also does not display anything).  I tried all ports hdmi on the TV and have also tried external monitors with hdmi inputs, I tried three different hdmi cables that work with other devices, even once, the laptop recognizes the display and I can only activate the display in Windows/Ubuntu, but the external monitor receives a signal from the laptop.  Yes, I have made sure the TV/external monitors are set to the appropriate hdmi source.  I tried to have two devices turned off with the attached cable, then by restarting, etc..

    The Samsung TV that I want the output to work on will display a message "searching for signal" when I attach the hdmi cable, but after a few seconds will display "no signal". The problem is to get a real view on the external display device.  How can I get my hdmi port to send the signal my TV or other screen?  I spent hours on google and nothing has helped.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    I just thought I would update this thread that I surprisingly fixed this problem.  There was a missing screw under the laptop where the HDMI port.  I ordered a few screws replacement on EBay and I replaced where the screw should be.  There were a few other missing screws as well (I got the used laptop) that I replaced.  After filling in all the gaps, I tried the HDMI connection and it worked immediately.  No idea how or why that fixed the HDMI port, but he did.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 primer not - please help!

    Hello, I hope someone can help me because my computer is no longer under warranty.  Thursday, my Dell Inspiron 1525 (bought in 2008) under the Vista operating system worked perfectly.  No problem at all.  Friday morning, I went to turn on the computer and turn on the 2 blue lights lower-left (the power and one next to it), the computer sounds like he's going to start and then it beeps once and dies.  He will continue to do over and over all a few seconds until I turn the unit off manually.

    I tried the trick out the battery and the power cord, press the power button and then connect the battery and cord, but it still does not work.  The computer will not start up using just the cord (and not the battery) and vice versa.  Anyone have any ideas on what might happen, or how I could solve this problem?

    Thank you in advance for any help you may offer.

    Hey, I have just the same problem and after a lengthy investigation and research, I fix it by deleting the RAM of the laptop, then it works fine.  so try to remove one of the RAM if it still does not remove the other and it will work... (:

  • Turn off the tap to click on Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista

    Can someone tell me how to disable "tap to click" on the touchpad of my laptop?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista.  It's the standard touchpad I mind, it has not been upgraded.

    Other forums have suggested to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse, but once I'm there, I only "buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware".  There is no option to disable "Tap to click" referred to one of them.

    I've updated all the drivers - Windows tells me I have the latest version, if this doesn't fix the problem.

    My hands are too big to type without hitting the touchpad!  So frustrating.  I accidentally moved my slider three times during the composition of this post.  Someone help me please!  That's four times now.

    I thought about it!

    Under computer > C: > drivers > entry > R176423, I ran DPInst.  He installed the Dell Touchpad option in my taskbar to bottom left.  After the reboot, I was able to open a more in-depth version of my touchpad, where I could uncheck "Tap to click".  _ Yes!

    Thanks for all your help, man.  I really appreciate it.  It's really a positive manifestation of the human condition when the volunteers their expertise selflessly to help others.  Keep up the good work, and I hope that this thread will stay up to help someone else in the future.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 Microphone does not

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a built-in microphone. I run on vista. The microphone is not picking up my voice. I went to the control panel. I have made sure it is activated, and all volumes are rising. It is said that SigmaTel Microphone Array works, but that's not true. I also uninstalled and then reinstalled the SigmaTel driver. I did a system restore and that didn't help. The speech recognition does not pick up my voice either. All other sounds work fine, I built in Webcam which works very well, except for the record. But who is also defined on such sigma with all volumes upward. I've had this computer for over a year and the microphone used to work, I think that when I updated something she decided to not work. But I really need my microphone to work, and I am really frustrated because I can't use it. ANY advice would be appreciated thanks!

    Hello

    Control Panel - SOUNDS - Audio peripheral devices configuration-manager

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version on the tab of the driver in the device as a sound Manager often restoring drivers, then install
    the current version. Restart and check after each try, not uncommon to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more.
    Just make sure that the version you have installed appears in the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
