• Dell Inspiron 1545 function keys

  I recently bought the Inspiron 1545 and to be honest struck in fact quite simple, everything was in the design. However, there is that one problem I found when I use the laptop. So that the function keys to use, I would need to press Fn + (function key) Eg. FN + F1. Now obviously function keys are supposed to act as a keyboard shortcut for certain activities. This actually defeats he purpose. Instead pressing the keys without the Fn key, I would be able to use the multimedia keys and something else on the keys with a white symbol.

  I was wondering if there is anyway I could swap around the functuion of the key so that I can use the function keys without having to press Fn in?

  Thank you.

  There is a much simpler way to do this without going into the BIOS settings that requires restart of your laptop.

  Just go in Panel of-> hardware and sound-> Adjust commonly used mobility-> Fn button behavior settings

  Change it to "function key".

• Dell Inspiron 1545 Headphone Jack does not

  Hi I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Windows 7 and for some reason, the sound will be the only spell of my speakers and not my helmet. I tried different pairs of headphones and none of them worked! It's weird because he was like 10 minutes earlier! Anyone know how I can fix this problem?

  I suggest you to reset the device of your choice such as audio device by default. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start and then click Control Panel.

  2. click on hardware and sound.

  3. under his, click manage audio devices.

  4. click on the playback device you want to output sound.

  5. click on set as defaultand then click OK

  I hope this helps! Let me know if it worked. All the best!

• Satellite C660-2EL - Wireless n and the F8 function key does not show

  Satellite C660-2EL - Wireless works sometimes, but mostly not. Wired connection is ok. When does not not Fn 8 does not appear and the wireless card does not appear in the devices.
  Pilot was handed in place.

  Have tried reset default and many other things - yesterday was working - light today and not...

  Help!

  Hello

  If the wireless network adapter does not work or its lack in the device, the FN + F8 key combination Manager would not work.
  So the problem is your wireless network card.

  The WLan card driver is missing or malfunctioning of the WiFi chip.
  The device uses the Realtek RTL8188CE WLan card.
  Have you installed the chip RTL8188CE WLan driver?
  Make sure what you've done!

  Otherwise, if the WLan card is not listed in the Manager (no unknown device or Ethernet controller) devices marked with yellow exclamation point I guess that the module is faulty.

• Dell Inspiron 1545: Can not scan wireless for my laptop

  I have a Dell Laptop Inspiron 1545 it is my main computer. I also have a Dell Dimension 4600 series desk top that I use very rarely. My HP printer D110 all-in-one is set up for these two. My problem is that I can't scan to the Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop wireless to the printer. When I try the following message appears on the printer screen: try to may computer or see the documentation press OK.

  The last time I used the top of desk, which was a year ago, I was able to scan to it from the printer. However, I think that the printer and the computer are connected, but am not certain. I am able to print wireless from the Dell Inspiron 1545 to the printer without any problems.

  I have DSL.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  Thank you

  1. Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
  2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
  3. The new software - uninstall the printer software Instructions
  4. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
  5. Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.

  My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1545 with a 1397 WLAN Mini Card in XP that has less than two years.  I can not connect to WPA2 wireless networks.  I have SP3 installed, when I try to install the patches, it is said that I must not and will not let me.  I tried to update my wireless card, Wireless Zero Configuration running and it still doesn't work.

  Hello

  XP SP3 is already compatible WPA2.

  Have you checked that utility without the seller wire initial is not too active?

  The card connects to open source Wireless and WPA - PSK protected?

  Did you use the latest drivers from Dell?

• Blutooth 365 is not found on Dell Inspiron 1545 with upgrade to Windows 7

  I had a 365 blutooth on my Dell Inspiron 1545 running in Windows Vista. I've upgraded to Windows 7, and now Windows 7 can not find it. It is activated when I pass by the system put in place... How can I find it on windows 7? When I push the button on my keyboard it turn on and off, I see the symbol but the symbol does not appear in the taskbar.

  Hi Andieb102,
  
  Check if your bluetooth is listed in Device Manager .
  If it is not, you see any exclaimation mark on this subject?
  The first step I would have you to do is to run the Hardware Troubleshooter .
   
  Step 2:
  Because the Dell 365 bluetooth adapter requires no additional software after the upgrade to Windows 7 (it should do this automatically). In the event that it fails to update itself automatically, I suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the bluetooth card.
   
  Uninstall the bluetooth device manager card drivers and reinstall the same.
   
  To uninstall the Device Manager,
   
  1. click on start, type device manager in the search box of start and press ENTER.
  2 locate the device and expand the same.
  3. Select the bluetooth adapter, right click and select uninstall.
  4 restart the computer, if prompted.
   
  Pilots should settle automatically after the computer restarts.
   
  Note: Before uninstalling the drivers from Device Manager, make sure that you have a backup installation files.
  Step 3:
  
  Sometimes, once you upgrade your operating system, some services will be disabled automatically. I would like to you can check if ' Bluetooth Support Service ' is disabled. If it is disabled, enable it.
   
  You can find this service by going to:
   
  1. start
  2 Control Panel
  3. Administrative Tools
  4 services
  5. Select 'Bluetooth Support Service' and set it to automatic.

• Unable to determine the type of AC power adapter. Dell Inspiron 1545.

  Hi all

  Just recently I started receiving the error message bad "cannot determine the type of AC power adapter. Your system will run more slowly and the battery won't charge. "Please connect a Dell 65W adapter or higher for a better functioning of the system.

  I've had my dell inspiron 1545 since 2009. I had to replace my battery once because I kept getting an error message. The error message above, I have been doing hard for about a week now. I had read that push the cord into the laptop could work. I know it sounds stupid, but I actually tried and for some time the adapter started to charge my battery again. But whenever I turn off my laptop I have to re connect the adapter because I get this error again. About 2 days ago, I tried my usual method of shoving the cord, but now the method does not work and my battery fell to 18%. I must say that I always keep my plugged power cord because my battery never lasted more than an hour before.  It seems that my card still works when I plug it into the wall of blue light still appears. When I plug it into the laptop computer, the icon appears that it is plugged in and the display becomes brighter. I am also able to remove my battery and work on my laptop as long as the AC adapter is plugged. I'm really afraid that this problem is related to the motherboard.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  First thing to try is a new Dell AC adapter - if this doesn't fix the problem, replace the power supply (see link below).  And in the unlikely event, he is not taking or adapter, the motherboard needs to be replaced.

• What video card do I need on a Dell Inspiron 1545 playing Fallout 3?

  I have a problem when I try to play Fallout 3 on my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop. I tested my computer with the System Requirements Lab and he told me that I need an upgrade. I have a Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family.  He said that the Minimum that I need for my computer is Direct X 9.0 c compatible video card with 256 MB RAM (NVIDIA 6800 or better/ATI X 850 or better).  I looked this up, but I can only find ones for desktop computers. Do you know what I should get the video card and what one is for my computer?

  Shawn

  Generally, you may not get a new video card for your laptop, but if you can contact so that they can install it for you, unless you know how to install mobile video cards yourself.

  I looked towards the top of your machine and it looks like you have the possibility to have a 256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330 for your machine. That would probably be it. I don't know what type of processor you have, but this card should work for you. Integrated Intel cards are not good for games at all.

  Good luck.

• Function keys do not work

  My function keys do not work.  I can't even the keyboard of virtual function down most of the time.  Can someone give me some ideas as to what could be the problem?

  Because you forgot to tell us something on your computer, I can only speculate. First of all:

  The first Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?

  1. I guess it's a laptop, but of course I could be wrong. If my CrystalBall (tm) was cloudy and it comes to a desktop computer, try another keyboard.

  2 reinstall the keyboard drivers. If it is a laptop, you can find them in the computer Web site portable mftr.. Some manufacturers have specialized keyboard like QuickLaunch from HP and Dell Quick Set software that affects the function FN. Make sure that all of the utilities that are installed.

  3. maybe you have a keyboard with the lock function? Is Numlock on? This does not usually affect the FN keys, but it's worth a mention.

  4. If drivers/utilities are up-to-date, and it is a laptop, connect a USB external keyboard. If the problem disappears, with the computer laptop mftr. for a replacement keyboard.

  If this doesn't help not or you have any other questions:

  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.
