• 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 B130, "no network adapter."

  I installed a windows xp pro fee. OS and downloaded a list of drivers from page driver Dell recommended but some drivers won't load and I get the error "no card Intel on board." I don't know what to look for at this stage. I also downloaded 32-bit gen of Intel adapter, but it does not load. I could use a little nudge in the right direction, so I can get back to my homework done. Any thoughts?

• 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

  -Jill

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

  MarkWilkins,

  The utility of desktop / laptop must be installed first (if applicable), then the drivers from the chipset. If they are NOT installed everything first, then the rest of the drivers will not install.

• my computer does not have an installed and configured wireless network adapter

  I just installed a new hard drive on my computer of dell inspiron 1525. I am not very computer but I managed to do it and it works. I had a disc from dell to reinstall windows vista edition Home premium 32-bit and had drivers and utilities dvd. However, I can't connect to the internet. He always tells me that I have not installed and configured wireless network card. When I go into computer management, there is no network adapter. There are "other devices" which device base system list three times with properties that say that the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28) but it won't let you not reinstall drivers and to be honest, I don't even know what the "other devices". There is also an ethernet controller that says the same thing. A network controller and the properties say he has not configured corr. (code 1) but won allow you to install because windows cannot find the driver for the device. He says that if you know the FAB of the device, you can visit the site Web-manufacturer of this device? As you can see, I'm not very computer. So, how can I connect to the internet. I have Verizon wireless at home. Thank you.

  well, I think that I thought about it. I right click on each of them separately, and I think I can have it now.

  Thank you

• Wireless network adapter is not installed and configured

  I have recently re installed windows vista for my laptop dell inspiron 1545. I am not able to connect to wireless internet, it says that the wireless network adapter is not installed and configured. How do I install it and where can I get the wireless network adapter. I have a cd or anything for it. Thank you

  You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you shouldget from Dell for the wireless adapter at all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html. > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617.

  The adapter is inside the laptop.  You don't need to do something with it to install it.  Install the drivers, firmware or software for it and your version of Vista from Dell (all that apply) "install".  You must then go to start / Control Panel / Network and sharing Center and configure the adapter with the appropriate parameters and to establish the appropriate network connections.  This will take place in settings required by your ISP, and maybe your router or modem (so you may need to contact them if you don't know the settings).

• Problems connecting Dell Inspiron 1525

  I'm having a problem with my Inspiron 1525.  This problem started before the holidays.  Before that, I was good for the last 3 years.  It connects to my home wifi network, but will not connect to internet. I have another computer, ipod and cell phones that all connect to the Wifi network with no problems.  When I take my laptop outside my house, I have no problem of wireless connection to another network.  I tried to reset the router (several times) and disconnect from my network and reconnect, but it does not help.  When I am able to connect (for about 1 minute), I hit all the other devices on the network.

  The wireless adapter does not work correctly and the driver is up-to-date. I am currently running Windows Vista and my router is a DLink 615 N300.  I bought a new router and the same problem, so I returned it.

  I don't have McAfee so the new update is not the issue.

  Help, please! For the record, I know a bit about computers, but a step forward not so maybe I need a little guidance.

  Thanks in advance

• How to install all the drivers that I need for my dell inspiron 1525 when I can't get on the internet?

  I have a dell inspiron 1525 with windows xp sp 2 on it and I had to wipe and reinstall xp on it b/c I got the BSOD. Now, I can not configure a network connection, or get all the drivers that I need and I can't go on the internet. Is it possible to use another computer to get the drivers I need for this? Do you need a specific driver to even set up a network connection?

  AngelaGraves,

  The drivers you need are on your disk drivers that came with your computer.

  Here's the order of installation of the drivers. How to download and install drivers in the correct order

  If you do not have the drivers disk, you can download the drivers from Dell drivers & downloads, then copy on a USB key or drive and install from there.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Version that was working fine until recently. Now, whenever I try to open a file or use whatever it is, it seems stuck with the ROAR - once an hourglass on the old computer - and nothing happens. The only way I can get out of everything I tried to do is to turn off and restart. Next, I get the message that he has was not shut down normally, etc., and it takes forever to get up. Then the whole again. I really want to this time just download all my files on an external hard drive so I can get a new computer, but it will not let me even copy / paste a single file without getting bogged down. Control Alt Delete even let me get into the Task Manager to stop the programme of work. Please help me.

• Not installed wireless network adapter

  I had a problem with my wireless on my Dell laptop Studio 1357 with Windows Vista.   We had all kinds of problems with this computer lock up / going to the right of the blue screen after that we got it.  The wireless was working fine.  Phone support Dell could not understand, so I gave my brother to take a look at.  It wiped out everything and reloaded windows.  Now, the computer works fine, but done wireless doesn't work at all.   When I turn on the wireless switch WIFI little light is no longer lights up.  When I try to install another connection, I get a message that "this computer doesn't have an installed and configured wireless network adapter".    I don't know much about computers and I really don't want to bother with this new brother.   How to install a wireless network adapter?

  Go to the Dell website and enter your Service tag (on the sticker on the bottom of the laptop). Download/install all drivers and utilities of laptop for your computer. This includes wireless network card drivers.

  I tried using the switch to toggle the wifi but got no results. The light is still orange and wireless has not reappeared in all.
  I have tried reinstalling the drivers wireless (sp41675) but got no results.
  I tried to boot in to an installation of Windows 7 which has worked the last time that I used a few weeks ago, but the wireless device is not detected in Device Manager or Windows 7 network connection.
  After each new attempt to solve the problem, I have restarted but got no results.

An Ebay search for "441090-001" returns several cards of the same branded wireless network than mine and identical to mine in appearance. Instead of trying to get HP to fix my laptop should I buy a new wireless adapter and install it myself?

  I read of clients receiving computers repaired HP with new damage (http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1245913498963+28353475&threadId=1143379), likely incurred during transport or repair of HP. After receiving a HP laptop repair, have you seen new scratches, dents, cracks, or other damage?

  I have my HP laptop, works perfectly.

  To answer my own questions:

  Yes, my cell phone was eligible for a free repair.

  No, I couldn't send just the wireless network adapter (would have been a mistake anyway).

  No, HP has not damaged my laptop.

  I contacted HP and established that my laptop was entitled to repair to the title of "HP limited warranty extra Service. HP sent me a box with a prepaid FedEx label, and I sent them my laptop. Before sending to my HP laptop, I removed the hard drive; the low probability of my data get damaged was unacceptable; I have backed up my data, but that would have taken two days to USB data transfer speed. I got my laptop back to HP repair in the next few days and after a thorough inspection, I find no damage to the laptop caused by HP, if it was a lil dusty. For a while I thought I found a new crack loosed in a low service panels, but after looking at the photos I had taken before sending the laptop I found that the crack is not new, so Bravo to HP.

  With the laptop repaired, HP sent a document that details the "motherboard" and 'Thermal Pad' had been replaced. I was curious to know exactly what work had been done, so I called HP and asked questions about spare parts references. The "motherboard" was part number 10MBZZZ0TPJ, which a Google search has this part is also known as 443775-001 and it costs about $190 to replace. The "thermal Pad" had JXAT3001010 part number, which I have found no info on.

  CAVEAT! CAVEAT! NERD RANT!
  Frankly, when I first called HP on the problem, the person I spoke to kept implying that it was the motherboard that needed to be replaced NOT the wireless network adapter, and I thought it was absurd; much more likely that it was a problem of component. Now that I have the confirmation that it was the motherboard, I am quite concerned that in about two years I'm going to need a different motherboard, and the "HP limited warranty extra Service" warranty only lasts for 90 days from now. Motherboard failure should be the exception, not the norm! I have several computers that are nine and ten years OLD and works very well when properly proposed. I have my grandmother using a desktop Dell Optiplex 2000 computer to check his e-mail. I have a Mac Powerbook from 1999 that I emulate video games and I'm using a ThinkPad IBM in 2002 as a jukebox for my Entertainment Center. A few months ago I was repairing 9 old Dell Optiplex (2000 vintage) offices, on the job had a bad motherboard VGA video and a keyboard bad connection PS/2; failure motherboard 22% after nine years! For the motherboard to miss my DV6000 since 2007 is ridiculous.

  Call HP. They will probably fix your problem for free.

  Why you reinstall vista in the first place? Have you tried to solve the problem with your wireless network card?

  If you have lost wireless once (first occurrence), reinstalled vista to try to solve the problem has got back wireless, and started to update and still lost wireless (second instance) then I would agree this is probably a software problem. If losing wireless after that resettlement was only the first occurrence of losing wireless, then maybe you should try re-reinstall. The point at which you lost wireless have actual hardware failure, it all depends on if you can get wireless back, willingly or by force. I knew my hardware problem and not software because I had an installation of Windows 7 that I knew worked very well, but still he could see my wireless network card.

  In any case... Try calling HP. side of customer support call center jobs being outsourced in India, I must say that I am satisfied with the HP Technology Support; Although I'd be quite satisfied with the quality of their product!

• Dell inspiron 1525 2008 model replacement hard drive

  Hello

  My dell inspiron 1525 hard drive was faulty and I am looking for a replacement drive. While looking for the hard drive, I have found there are 2 types of hard disk of 2.5 inch SATA

  1, height 9mm

  2 height 7.5 mm

  Can anyone confirm that it adapts to my laptop?

  Thank you

  Older models have the readers of 9 mm. Get a Crucial BX200 240 GB SSD will be 7.5 mm but they will understand a spacer so that the SSD fits. The SSD will make your system much more vivid:

  If you only have a license of Vista/XP for this machine I advise to take the unofficial 10130 upgrade path:

  If you have a Windows 7 or 8 button then you can use the key to clean install Windows 10 TH2 directly:
