DELL Inspiron 11 3147 2-in-1 upgrades

Nice day. I wanted to share my experience with the DELL Inspiron 11 3147 2 in 1 with Intel N3540. I bought the DELL decision-making. Receipt in very good condition. Slight marks pry where the bottom cover had been removed. I liked the form factor, the convertible function, the choice of the processor and suggested the battery life.

I added,

SAMSUNG SSD 850 EVO 250GB,

Kingston HyperX 1600 MHz CL9 SODIMM 1.35v DDR3L Impact computer laptop memory HX316LS9IB/8 GB Black and

Intel 7265NGW Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi + Bluetooth 4.0.

The tools,

small Phillips screwdriver,

nylon spudger levers, to promote the elimination of the lower pane l to facilitate the removal and installation of the 3 elements mentioned.

Adapter USB 3.0 to 2.5 "SATA III hard drive cable w / UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD - hard drive adapter cable

or

Case disk 2.5 "SATA 6 GB/brightness with USB cable

Cloning software (Samsung included migration and optimization of the software). You can download from the Samsung website, or drive transfer included, you will need an external optical drive.

Samsung software at this point 20/08/2015 can support Windows 10 who I had updated. The migration software would not recognize the Samsung SSD as I tried to clone the SSD drive. I called Samsung Customer Service and the other suggestion is that among the updates of Microsoft or DELL, can hide the USB connection. I used the recovery software to get back the Inspiron 11 3147 to original state of Windows 8.1, (no update) and the software of Samsung acknowledged the SSD. I installed the SSD and the recognized system. I am now in the process of updating Windows.

I had installed memory, 8GB, and the system has recognized and acknowledged the 8GB.

I had installed the WiFi card and the system has recognized and acknowledged the new card. The Intel 7265 is slightly wider than the original 1707 of DELL, which is a single channel card and he returned without modification.

There are other options of brand for replaced parts.

The main idea is to take your time, the background suppression is not complicated, the pry bar helps not to damage the case which is plastic. Parts of Austin, Texas people have a video on You Tube to remove the back to facilitate the removal and insertion of the HDD/SSD. The battery and the HARD drive screws must be removed to perform the Exchange.

I will update with new information regarding the replaced elements.

Hello

I've updated the 3147 11 for Windows 8.1, all updates, you are prompted for on 21/08/2015. Windows 10 was not an option at the moment. I re-recorded through the icon of the window that appears on the notification at the bottom bar to the right. I added no additional software other than Bitdefender Free Anti Virus and CCleaner. I removed McAfee Livesafe, using the remove McAfee software before I cloned the Samsung SSD.

Notes on hardware upgrades:

SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB SSD; The Samsung magician software news. Used space shows 40GB (Windows 8.1) 191GB of free space. Total capacity in the new storage 232.89 GB drive. The SSD is set for maximum Performance. Performance tests show sequential read 283 MB/sec, sequential write 271 MB/s, 27292IOPS and 18419IOPS to write random shuffle.

The Samsung SSD 850 EVO has the ability to preform better. The Dell system does not support a port SATA 6 GB/s (SATA3). The Samsung said that the SSD is connected to a SATA 3 GB/s (SATA2) port. I ran across this info on the net. Samsung software seems to be in accordance with that.

At this point, I accepted the results. I don't game or running demanding software that read/write of the highest scores would be beneficial for me. The advantage of using an SSD vs HDD. The SSD has no moving parts that I have to worry that I hold or move the 3147 11. The beginning, opening closing of the application software/is faster than the 5400 RPM HARD disk provided with the 3147 11.

The memory of 8 GB of Kingston: The Microsoft System info shows GB 8.00 (7.89 GB usable).

The Intel Dual Band wireless AC 7265: I have not used any test method to determine the actual changes compared to the Reference Dell 1707. It connects and maintains the connection. I use TWC combo phone/TV/internet by modem. The 7260 Intel and wifi 7265 cards were and are used in other DELL products.

3147 11 Device Manager shows all connections, no problems. I mentioned that when I had updated for Windows 10 with the HDD, I see a problem a device not connected and no driver available. I will look when 10 Windows is installed.

Terry, thanks for your question.

  • Dell Inspiron 11 3147 battery "Do not load"

    This new Dell Inspiron 11 3147 just arrived today.

    The power adapter is "connected", but the battery is "not supported."

    I looked everywhere for help for this, the Dell Diagnostics found no problem and I've struggled to get a hold of customer service. The idea most commonly recommended is to uninstall and reinstall the driver ACPI Microsoft NER method exactly, what I did.

    The only thing I have not messed with is the battery itself, which does not seem to be accessible without damaging the back, which is screwed and secure well.

    No idea what is the problem?

    Update from my post below:

    A day later, after the battery fully charged and all was fine, I come back and it's back to the message "plugged in, not charging." I could see if flashing the bios and rebooting will work again.

    My original post on December 8, 2014:

    I had this problem until this morning. In short, I have updated the bios to Version A03, A03 (released December 2, 2014). Before that, I did all the googling and messing everything without success. Here's what to do:

    1. run "my Dell. You can access it by type Ctrl-Esc and then type in "My Dell" and clicking on the "My Dell" icon that appears.

  • Dell Inspiron 3847 - what to buy to upgrade SSD?

    I just picked up an Inspiron 3847 and am looking to upgrade to an SSD.

    I think I'm going to need:

    2.5 "BRACKET

    SATA cable

    I need a SATA III card or the existing interface works (I couldn't find clear specifications on what was actually the existing interface)?

    Something else I'm missing?

    Thank you!

    You cannot install an SSD as boot disk while the original drive is hung.

    There will be problems.

    You can install an ssd after reclassification DBAR to 1.7.5.64 and then do a 16 GB or more usb flash recovery.

    Then install the SSD drive

    and then optimize it.

    Then put the old drive as a secondary.

    I usually recommend INTEL Retail readers for this so that you get of the optimization tools.

  • Dell Inspiron 7520 fuzzy applications after windows 8.1 upgrade

    Hello

    I have recently installed windows 8.1 on my Dell Inspiron 7520.

    After the upgrade, the switchable GPU do not work, and many applications have a different (and fuzzy) resolution compared to the rest of the screen. All Dell video drivers (even drivers for windows 8.1) do not resolve the problem.

    I solved the switchable GPU problem, install the latest drivers video, taken directly from sites Web Intel and AMD:

    -for the Intel HD 4000: pilot 10.18.10.3277, 8 - 19.2013

    -for the AMD Radeon 7730: pilot 14.501.1003.0, 20/11/2014.

    This is the only combination of drivers that works (I tried many...) but the fuzzy applications issue is still unresolved. Look at the picture in the link below (the resolution of the screen is correct, while the words in the window are blurred).

    Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

  • Dell inspiron 15R Memory Upgrade N5110

    Hello

    I have a dell inspiron N5110, and I plan on upgrading the RAM modules, which are estimated at 1333hz. I would like to know if the motherboard can support modules of RAM at higher frequencies, if so, how much of a gain of performance can I expect.

    Thanks in advance.

    Fastest modules may work but will not increase the speed - 1333 MHz is the speed of memory limit in this model.

  • Inspiron 11 3147 - service of wake-up problem

    Hello!

    I bought a new Dell Inspiron 11 3147. After updating BIOS and windows 10 later, I found a problem. When the system goes to sleep - no matter if its done by inactivity, closing of the device or manually, it will not wake up. When I press the power button pc farm tours (I mean for this) but the screen is blank and the only way to make it work at this point is hard off by holding the power button and turning it back on. I tried many things - reinstalling drivers (by windows update and dell support), power off hybrid sleep, w10 quick launch, uninstalling some software, etc.  Nothing has worked. My guess is that the new BIOS is broken. Anyone has any ideas on this problem or dates update? Thanks in advance!

    I had the sam problem since the supposed 'upgrade' to BIOS A09.  Dell refuses to acknowledge that they have created this problem.  While I was too lazy to do it again, I might have to go back to A07.  Others have posted elsewhere that this will cause a BSOD, but you can get into windows repair safe mode and then start normally

  • How can I get Dell inspiron N5110 to 10 Windows?

    Original title: window updates

    How can I get my dell inspiron N5110 in windows 7 be upgraded to window 10, Dell said it was not among the models he tested for Update window 10.

    Dell statement why would you want to force it?

    Without driver support Dell you would be silly to force an upgrade.

    But if you want too,

    Just buy a new hard drive or ssd and replace the existing one and keep it in case the 10 is not training.

    Download the iso and make it bootable on cd or flash drive and install win - 10 to the new disk.

  • Dell Inspiron 1721 Win 7 ultimate upgrade on Vista ultimate. ATI Raid driver problems.

    I install Win 7 Ultimate on Windows Vista Ultimate Edition for my sister.  Although I am appalled by his duty to pay 200 more of the money it has paid to buy Vista Ultimate (for which she won Bitlocker and the possibility to join the areas, I have the following problem: she has a lot to gain a little and there are still problems in the installation of the OS.)  It would be good, at least, since it paid the price to have copies of the disks him were sent and more download (which I work with)

    I am trying to install the upgrade from 32-bit to Windows 7 on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1721 and I get an error that says I need to update my ATI AHCI Compatible RAID Driver. I went into the device drivers update as described in the instructions and tried to update the driver but it says I have the latest version of the driver for it. So I tried to restart my laptop and represented the upgrade installation and received the same error message.

    Can you advise me on how to solve the problem.  She has spent a lot of money and, at least, deserves to make it work!

    Hello

    I'm sorry, but your Dell Inspiron 531 s is NOT able to be upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and with Windows 7 installed and working properly.

    As you can read on this link of Dell, Dell did NOT write Windows 7 drivers for your model computer.
