• New Dell Inspiron 1764: Problems with signal low connection to wireless networks.

  I have a new laptop Dell Inspiron 1764 I received on 25 June. It is "replace" a Dell Inspiron 9100, who has learned to be too slow and too bulky for my needs. For the purposes of support, the two laptops are running on Windows 7.

  Overall, I love my new Inspiron 1764. However, I noticed the connection/signal strength seriously degraded, with wireless (Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini card) card, compared to my Inspiron 9100 (Dell Wireless 1350 WLAN Mini-PCI card).

  In areas of my home that my 9100 can obtain the power of the complete signal (5 bars), my new 1764 bars 2 or less. This behavior is not as limited to only my house as I have tested in my work and in an area of less than 10 feet away from the wireless router, I have 'Internet connectivity problems.

  I tried twice this morning talk with Dell technical support. The first person I talked to tried to be helpful and initiated at least a DellConnect session with me so that he can check out some of my settings and such (However, why they went twice in my sharing settings I could not determine as they have absolutely nothing to do with the intensity of the signal).

  Unfortunately, I was disconnected from the session when I went to a place that had less signal than just next to my wireless router.

  I then go on the chat support with Dell and received another technician to speak with. I explained my problem, told them that I was in a DellConnect session with the other technician, and they looked to the top of my support contract.

  They then told me that my warranty does not cover software issues and referred me to the software Department and said it would be a supplement. I told them that I did not believe that it is a problem of software in any way, shape, or form. They told me that it must be a matter of adjustment. I spent several hours scouring the internet forums on Dell and other sites check those who have had similar problems. Some of their questions were certainly the software settings, but I still don't yet to find anything that tells me I have an incorrect setting of software.

  So far, I'm standing in my kitchen, tapping on my Inspiron 9100 with a full 5 bars, while my Inspiron 1764 is sitting next to me with a skinny 2 bars, and I am literally standing 7 feet above the room which houses my Linksys WRTU54G-TM router.

  Personally, I suspect a faulty wireless card, but how to convince Dell to hear my case and replace it instead of trying to bilk me for support of useless software?

  I hope Dell Tech Support bed actually this post, or people with the same problem can Dell refer to my previous post describing the problem and the fix.

  It IS a PROBLEM of MATERIAL WITH the ANTENNA, AND VERY PROBABLY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN a DECK CONNECTION at the ANTENNA of the PLATE, from connections TAPE FOIL INDIVIDUAL at the ANTENNA of the PLATE, THAT DELL MUST HAVE RESPONSE BETWEEN WHAT MINE PORTABLE has BEEN CARRIED OUT AND THE SPARE ROOM WAS MADE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOFTWARE, PROVIDER OR ROUTER, IT IS THE PLASTIC WITH THE ANTENNA CASE!

  Dell is in fact losing more money with the hours of technical support through software patches and sending technicians with new wireless cards that does not solve the problem. They need to send and replace the plastic case behind the LCD screen with the updating of antenna and connections.

  Good luck!

• 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...

• Dell Inspiron 700 m with Windows XP is slow

  I searched the Internet and discovered that you can reinstall using winnt32.exe. I tried and installed on another partition on my drive hard (I dunno really what I do.) The newly installed XP on a different partition has one problem: he can't connect to internet because I think it doesn't have the drivers and I do not have the CD for the drivers. So in my computer, it has 2 hard drives: disk Local (c) and (d), (c) one is the original. So I want to start Windows XP by using the C: drive, but it starts by using the D: drive. I tried disk management, but it is said: the RPC server is unavailable. Any help? Thank you!

  * original title - so I have a Dell Inspiron 700 m with Windows XP, which is with me for 5 years and now is slow as f. I wanted to reinstall XP but I didn't have the CD.*

  Sorry, but I think I lost it :( I live in the Philippines and I don't think that we have a center of Dell here. Is there another way?

  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.

  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.

• 5 GHz Dell Inspiron 1501

  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

• External monitors Dell Inspiron 15 (7537) with Nvidia GT750M.

  I am literally pulling my hair!  I can't find specs tell me what types of resolutions and refresh of the monitor are supported.

  The laptop has only a HDMI port (no DisplayPort - I did not notice it before placing my order mid-2014) and now I'm stuck with HDMI.

  This weekend I tried hang my laptop to a 4 K TV - it made the TV - but only if the internal display was given - and, even in this case, the refresh rate was really bad... I'm only a casual viewer video - but I found the jerks of unacceptable frame rates.  This suggests strongly that the laptop is not HDMI 2.0. I know now that I must look at lower resolutions 3840 x 2160

  I want to know... If I buy a WQHD monitor and connect it to HDMI, it displays in 2560 x 1440 while also driving the internal 1080 p monitor... or what I have to go down up to 1920 x 1200?

  All this is * very * frustrating.  I hope someone can tell me what my laptop will support (to the native resolution and native refresh rate.)

  I am pleased to announce that... Fortunately for me... the post above to 1920 x 1200 being the maximum external resolution is flat.

  I read the response a few minutes after I had placed an order (after carefully checking the return policy) for a monitor Samsung WQHD (a S27D850T).  I have it plugged into my Dell Inspiron 15 7537 (with graphics GeForce GT750M and weird HDMI Intel connection as the only option for an external monitor) it ensures * BRILLIANTLY *-no configuration issues; 60 Hz refresh rate; 2560 x 1440 resolution.  It extends from my internal display.  Perfect performance, as far as I can tell!  No quality no questions at all.

  I can also confirm that my Dell Inspiron 7537 * may * lead a 4 K TV over HDMI... I tested this weekend... It is not clear if it's the fault of the TV 4 K, the Dell or a combination of both... but only, I could get 30 Hz refresh and the rendering of images in movement at UHD resolution was not acceptable - it felt 10-15 fps.  I tried 3 different sets of 4K (because I could not find all the monitors 4K!) Two does not have an image to 4 K - the third, only when I turned off the clean laptop screen.  Perhaps I might have gotten a 4K screen work... but I am very happy with my purchase WQHD.

  I can recommend the WQHD Samsung S27D850T for the Dell 15 7537 port HDMI Intel with chipset Nvidia GeForce GT750M.  I can not, however, recommend Dell on its documentation, or support.

  Hello

  You will be able to install Windows Xp on your computer, but you will need to perform a clean installation.

  Before installing Windows XP. And also, you will have to take up the data in your computer, because the new facility will remove all data into the computer.

  Download the driver from the support of dell at the following link:

• The microphone volume is very low on a Dell inspiron 13 7348 with Windows 10

  On my new Dell inspiron 13 7348 the microphone volume so low that my Skype partners can barely hear me. I checked all the settings in Skype and software audio dell and I updated all drivers... without success

  Connect a microphone extermal solves the problem, however, I prefer to not always have an additional microphone with me!

  Has anyone found a way to increase the volume of the microphone?

  Since an external device works well I'm afraid that the build-in microphone is actually of minor quality... what a disappointment

  So far, nothing has changed. I continue to go all my encounters with my laptop and this webcam with microphone build - in which I used the last in 2005... It's ridiculous... Don't know how many times I have had to explain to my colleagues why I use this external microphone... BTW, their Skype works well on non Dell computers with Windows 10 so I guess it's a problem that only affects users of Dell...

  As I said before, it's a big disappointment, and in the future I will avoid Dell products.
