Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop keyboard, it's that act as if the keys are pressed in 2 second intervals.
Well, I mean about 6 months or if there is, we encountered a small problem with our laptop RAM and had it fixed by a professional. Since our RAM and CPU speed increased a little, however our keyboard seems to be on the fritz.
I can't really explain or take screenshots of it in the law, but I will try my best. It seems that whenever I try to play a game, my keyboard gives to think I'm pressing '=' to an interval of 2 seconds. Recently, my sister tried to play "The Sims 2" on our PC and this problem appeared to cancel out all the actions that she wanted to make the game, as the selection of an object for the character to use, IE if she wanted to choose a furnace for a character to use, she would select it and have the small action menu pop up , but before she could select an action, the action menu would disappear. When I try to play a game, as "Half Life 2", I often change keys in order to adapt to my style of play, but when I try to change a key related, automatically "supports" the '=' button until I can manually select the key I want to bind to this control.
I have never experienced this problem before we had our computer fixed and this problem seems to have no effect on typing programs such as Microsoft Word or Notepad or even this dialog, it doesn't seem to pop up in games so far, as far as I know, that he might happen while I'm typing this. It's just a minor annoyance, but it's a mystery that I can't solve. Any help or other questions that I can answer on the problem will be warmly welcomed. Thank you!
Hello
Looks like the other repair keyboard problem and it looks like not material. No doubt
better to take this back to the place which sets memory.
Control Panel - keyboard - look for a reset to the default values or other settings to fix the problem.
I wonder if the sensitivity of the TouchPad could be a problem?

My Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop can only support 2.4 Ghz.
Is it possible to upgrade the hardware so I can support 5 GHz or with a computer laptop, can't I?
P.S. referring to a Wi - Fi connection
If it is possible any ideas where I can buy a Wireless N card for my Dell Inspiron 1501 for a person living in the United Kingdom?
Hello
As far as I know, this laptop has only 1 antenna. And so there is no need to upgrade most other than the original 802.11 g.
In additional, there are small speed increase even if for some new laptops using 802.11n. 1501 is 5 years old.
Better to save the money for a new system in the future.
Thank you

Dell Inspiron 1501 wireless light is not on and I can't get a wireless connection. I was told that I needed to press the Fn key and F2 but it doesn't change anything
Catherine,
To press Fn and F2, you must have installed Dell QuickSet.
Places to look to see if your connection is activated
Did you recently install/reinstall the operating system, have you installed the desktop system software / laptop (as appropriate) and drivers from the chipset first? If this is not the case, the rest of the drivers will not install. How to download and install drivers in the correct order
Start with the computer system software and the chipset drivers and follow the list.
Go to the drivers & downloads , enter your service tag, and then select your operating system. Under applications, you can find Dell QuickSet.

Dell Inspiron 1501 on Windows 8 resolution problems
I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 and recently installed windows 8 pro on it. Before installing, I had a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800 under vista and now my only option of resolution is 1024 x 768. I do a lot of photo editing and such on my laptop and the screen resolution that makes it nearly impossible when scaling and resizing of images. I tried the update of drivers and have even installed the old driver for my graphics card as well as you try to run the Catalyst Control Center, the compatibility mode, and nothing has worked. It is said that the chain of the card I use now is the graphics card of Microsoft. I was wondering if it is possible to get my resolution up to 1280 x 800.
My graphics card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150.
Your machine was last supported for Vista 32 bit. If you want the best performance, you will need to return the Vista machine.
It is not taken in charge for use with Windows 7 or 8...
