Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520 - mSATA connection?

Hello. I have an Inspiron 15R SE here (see code evaluates DNDOM12S.) I understand that there is an internal SATA 2 drive of 1 TB 5400 RPM. The links on the General page to reviews that mention the mSATA 32g so I did not know that the system is apparently came with a disc with an mSATA petition, but is no longer made.

I would like to install a SSD as I have an insane amount of space NAS.  I would like to know:

If I get an mSATA system drive I mentioned above will have the correct daughter card / port to install?

If Yes, I a SATA 3 SSD for faster transfer speeds?

If not, what is the reference number of the daughter card I need to order and install to use player mSATA?

Wouldn't make more sense to get a shopping cart for the optical drive and install an SSD there? Is it also a SATA 2 connection or a SATA 3 drive will work in the optical Bay?

I also thought that I read somewhere that the BIOS cannot be set to boot from the optical drive caddy? Is this true?

Thanks in advance

If you order the system with a disk mSATA, the girl will not be in the system.  You need one depends on what model you have - 15R refers to one of several models - 5520, 5521, etc..  You need to find your model number (on the screen of the BIOS, F2 on startup) to find the right part.

The new model SE 15R will be training mSATA 6G;  most are 3G.

It is true that you cannot start a drive mounted in an optical bay adapter.

  • Sound weird coming from the hard drive, every Min or 2-Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520

    Not really sure if this is still a bad question. This player has not yet failed. It's just making a weird noise, I have no idea what could be the cause.

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=XwYSdD4fyRU

    The ticking, in this video, is exactly the same. The only difference. Undermines the fact every 1 min, sometimes every 2 minutes... and sometimes all 3 or 4 minutes. And he just does the ticking sound once. not again and again.

    If a tick from time to time. You can hear only - when everything is guiet? Just a tick and it disappears for a while?

    Does that mean that my drive has failed? Reason why I'm asking. After a year of use, the hard drive has failed-It just died. Dell has replaced the disc/Msata too. It was near another year, with replacement. Is this a sign that I should back up and save all my info. Contact dell.

    IF kills laptop another disk hard-is there a chance of the motherboard is defective?

    Things that I've tried - defragment the disk, I even check and repair sectors... found nothing.

    Any help would be appreciated...

    thought about upgrading to an ssd, but I really want to do, if the motherboard is to kill hard drives?

    Thanks for reading

    Here I am again, a bit frustrated... Has achieved a good response when I posted... but nothing else after that... Different response of old Story/Issue...same... (((I thought of it out on mine)))

    Don't know if that's the right answer, but I thought that if there was someone out there with the same problem, it might give you some answers.

    After reading and Goggling... I found a few different answers... "My favorite, but NOT CORRECT"... Your drive is dying, you must back up all the files and save them to an external disk, before it fails... where there is a click or a bad sector... it will multiply and more.

    Of course, there is a simple answer from someone who knows nothing about the hard drive. But incorrect. Especially if you do not experience problems or blue screens.

    A hard click or clunk, may be two different things. Non of them pointing to a player out. Depending on the player, it could be a bad sector. It could be one of 2 things, "THERMAL CALIBRATION ROUTINES", or it could be "ADVANCE DRIVE PROTECTION".

    I don't understand how an any of them work, but a quick Google search should provide you with answers.

    On my drive a simple defrag helped. Now I hear the noise, every once and awhile. Sometimes I don't hear it at all in a session. You are not sure if it was a coincidence? But I feel much better knowing what to do.

    Thanks for reading my question and post

    mw96910,

    I would not use the function of channel auto. Some adapters work best on channels 1, 6 or 11. I prefer to channel 11. Try to use the recommended wireless router settings , but change the SSID to a new SSID to make the connection easier.

  • Dell Inspiron 15r is 7520 Mic only picks up strikes speechless!

    Windows 7 OS

    I updated the driver twice directly on the dell site.  Now, I get an error when you start by saying that I have to disable certain aspects of the pilot.

    Forget that for a second.

    The microphone picks up only hit!  He can pick up when I type and I can see it in the sound options > recorder > mic.

    I tried to set up the microphone and he says he can hear me, but when I type it 100% is picking up b/c I see green bars to jump. wasted hours on this... any help appreciated...

    Hey G DELL-Loïc, I put in contact with the service to my country, the Greece, and the problem was solved. It was a material error, the microphone did not work.

    Thank you for the interest and support,

  • Issue of Dell inspiron 15r is 7520 switchable graphics...

    Hello

    If I go into Device Manager and disable the chart of intel integrated the computer will only work on radeon HD graphics card? or will this mess up my screen thanks

    The system does not at all if you disable the Intel GPU.  All video data through the GPU from Intel, by design.  The AMD GPU is just a coprocessor.

    There is no way to force the system to use the AMD GPU full-time - it is not hooked up to work this way (only the GPU from Intel is connected to the display surface - the AMD GPU has no physical connection to screen other than the GPU from Intel, which is part of the processor (and which is welded in turn constantly to the system board).)

  • Fuzzy graphics with incorrect, faded pastel colors - Dell Inspiron 15R (7520) 7730M

    Hallo,

    There seems to be some available in Australia recently, and was asked to help the owner to fix it.

    Symptoms: Graphics blurred with incorrect, faded to the pastel colors.

    On an external monitor, the graphics are OK.

    Flat screen, even when starting, the display is fuzzy with colors that don't seem to one (or more) components. Strangely, during POST the color is not consistent always the same and instead of black, it's either a pastel red, sometimes yellow, sometimes lime green tint.

    Given the nature of the fault (on external monitor colors are OK), I have concluded that the two graphics cards are OK and the problem was due to BIOS, faulty LED panel or display faulty or loose cable.

    To this day, I spent countless hours (days) on it.

    I have:

    update BIOS to A09

    reinstall all the drivers for Win8

    installed new HARD drive and put Win7 on it to check if maybe Win8 installation is not corrupted (no recovery media).

    He took display disassembled and re-sat cable

    bought and replaced the display LED THE Optronics B156HW02 V.1: NEW Panel / W:1 A F / l: 1

    All to no effect.

    I welcome suggestions.

    Below I will (try to) insert some images as they are apparently worth a thousand Word each...

    Well, here's the solution:

    What was causing blurred graphics in Dell 7520 (15R SE) was incorrect (taking into account the resolution of 1920 x 1080 FHD Panel) factory equipped with the display cable.

    The mounted cable was CNNGH (DC02001 |) C10 or "QCL00 câble LVDS - HD"). Suspect that it is defective, I bought and fitted a replacement who was an exactly the same thing.

    What should be installed was the R4WW7 (DC02001GD10 or "QCL00 LVDS cable FHD").

    Whatever it took to find, had to buy another phone, disassemble, Exchange parts and then buy the right cable. And almost 2 weeks to pull the hair out of my head.

    Someone needs the Inspiron 15R SE 7520?

    I have 2 of those - one with warranty, without work brilliantly. Open to offers.

    Also have a spare HD 1920 x 1080 to THE Panel with good cable Optronics

    included.

    :-)

    Hope this helps someone.

  • Inspiron 15r SE 7520 MaxxAudio 4 problem

    Hello

    My problem is that my Equalizer will take no effect after the last update of victory 10 birthday, I tried to reinstall the driver and app. All settings under speakers/headphones used effect on the sound.

    Hello. Dell provides 2 audio drivers Conexant for Win10, for the Inspiron 15R SE 7520.  Try them both and see if we have the function you want to use.

    Version 1.0.52.0 - October 4, 2013

    and

    Version 8.54.40.50 - 3 February 2016

    If you currently have the new driver, you must completely remove it before installing the old.

    1. open Device Manager (found in the Control Panel, or type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
    2. expand the section 'Sound, video & game controllers.
    3. right-click the Conexant High Definition audio driver.
    4. click on "Uninstall".
    5. put a check mark in the option to remove the software driver, click ok.
    6. restart the laptop. Because you deleted the Conexant driver files, Windows will install its native audio driver, named "High definition Audio Device".

    Go back to Device Manager and make sure that "High definition Audio Device" is installed. When this is the case, you can install the old driver Conexant. However, depending on the version of Win10 you have, it can automatically up-to-date for the new driver.

  • Computer laptop screen flickering and horizontal lines in Inspiron 15r SE 7520

    I have a laptop Dell inspiron 15r is who is 1.1years old (model - 7520). It worked well up to that of a few days. Last week, he began giving a horizontal line of white point at the top of the screen (like that... in white) for the entire width of the screen. Since yesterday, or a similar line began to appear at the bottom too. Two of these online come and go every 2-3 sec. And the screen will jump a little (like 5 pixels or larger) and it will also sometimes shake which makes it difficult to read letters.

    The problem exists everywhere, even in the start screen. In short, when I press power button / stop and screen start showing something problem also begins.

    Today, I plugged an external lcd display via a vga cable and it works fine. No line and no flickering. So I guess that the GPU is ok? What could be the problem? Would be - this contact that loose or something cable laptop computer screen?

    Another question: I got the security, including the protection against accidental damage and stuff for a year. But since I was outside this period, now, what do I do?

    And since I am outside the warranty period anyway is it OK if I open my laptop and try something?

    Help, please!

    If you have found the solution please share with me.

  • Line of laptop Dell Inspiron 15R in number

    Hello Forum,

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15R laptop touch Windows 8. I wanted to listen to my iPod Nano on the laptop and connected via the line to the port with a cable to THE. The sound comes through and I hear it on the speakers of systems, but there is not work for long. The sound cuts and I have to change the volume to get it back. Is this a problem with the line in port or a software audio problem? The sound system is Realtek High Definition Audio.

    IPod attaches to my stereo system with the same cable and works fine, so I don't see the problem as being something with the laptop.

    I would appreciate any you can give me advice. Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Is this a problem with the line in port or a software audio problem?

    I do not know. You have your Jack set up to 'listen to this device? The recording of the sound Properties tab. Right click on Mic to open the context menu. Click on properties. Select the "Listen" tab check the box "listen to this device. If you use the battery, then check the box to allow it.

    If you have already done this then try using the native Windows driver and see if that makes a difference.

    Open Device Manager and expand ' audio, video and game controllers ". Right click on the Realtek, and select uninstall. Put a checkmark in the delete files optionand then ok. When you restart, Windows will install its own native driver or another driver Realtek if there were other versions on the hard drive. Then go back to Device Manager and look for a Realtek driver. Keep the uninstall & reboot until Realtek no longer appears under controllers, noise and "High definition Audio Device" appears in its place. Who will be the native driver.

    When you want to reinstall your Realtek driver, download a new copy of it from Dell.

    One last thing: see if it helps to decrease the volume of the player.

  • Inspiron 15R SE 7520 video card does not work after update Windows 8.1

    The internal graphics are Intel HD 4000 and the graphics card is a Radeon HD M 7730. After update for Windows 8.1 almost everything worked, except that it only uses the integrated Intel graphics card. Now, the resolution is not right and parts of the interface Windows look rather mediocre in comparison.

    What I tried:

    • Uninstalling the video card drivers
    • Reinstall the drivers for the video card in Dell
    • Install the latest beta drivers directly on the AMD website
    • Disabling the integrated Intel graphics card
    • Uninstall the Intel integrated graphics card

    So now what?

    Hi all

    After a lot of Googling, got this Dell website which has 8.1 Windows drivers for Inspiron 15R 7520 SE:

    http://FTP.Dell.com/published/pages/Inspiron-15R-se-7520.html#TopSolutions

    After having installed the drivers from AMD & Intel HD4000 for Win8.1 on the site above, blurry of the screen disappeared and catalyst works again!

    Please spread this link autour!  Very weird representatives Dell did not provide this link. Their advice to uninstall drivers / stop windows update does not help.

  • Inspiron 15R SE 7520 video card problems

    Dear DELL,

    This is a story of love at first sight, a happy period of parade and then heartbreak. When shopping for a new laptop, I fell upon a jewel of one. display 1080 p MATTE? Check. Zippy image Ivy Bridge CPU? Check. Clean, dedicated GPU? Check. Large amounts of RAM? Check. HARD drive tough? Check. FOUR USB 3.0 ports? Check. Optical disc (call me old-fashioned)? Check. Decent price tag? Check (after rebate online). Didn't hesitantly does not, I immediately bought an Inspiron 7520 home in July of 2012. At first, everything was a lot. I had a wonderful relationship with my laptop. The AMD Radeon HD M 7730 run latest games on medium to high heat, as long as I was not too hard with the resolution. Ultra high heat were out of the question, but I was fine with that. Of course, if DELL had to procure a 7750M or a 7770M, things would have been even more pink. Ah, good times!

    As they say, all good things have an end. This relationship that bordered on perfection did not last long. In October of the same year, a tragedy struck. My baby was delivered with Win7 Home Premium 64-bit, but since I am eligible for the purchase of Win8 at a subsidized price, I went for him just after launched Win8. Initially, I had been suspicious of the upgrade because I was afraid that there would be problems of compatibility with my existing games (I have a large library of titles of steam). However, after researching this issue, I discovered that there was not much to fear. WIN8 seemed to be just as good for gaming under Win7 (or even better). So I made the leap.

    And here! Immediately after the installation of Win8, it became clear that DELL had not fully prepared for the influx of new users of Win8 7520. From the beginning, my AMD video card stopped working. Needless to say, it was obviously a driver problem. I'm a patient person. That's why I decided to wait for DELL or AMD released a newer version of pilots 7730M. Because, you know, builders/OEMs need time to do their stuff. And I understood that. Take a few weeks, heck, take a couple of months. So, I want a fully functional GPU again so that I can play games Beyond 800 x 600 on low heat. Now, when I try to open the Catalyst Control Center, it just gives me this error: " " "Catalyst Control Centre cannot be started. Currently, there are no settings that can be configured with the Catalyst Control Center'. Tick, tock, tick tock... Fast forward to today, March 5, 2013, and it's been about half a year what Win8 was created.

    Here's a question, DELL - WHERE ON EARTH ARE THE LATEST DRIVERS for the AMD RADEON HD 7730 M?

    Before any tech support agent gives me an official response asking me to troubleshoot/diagnosis/attempt to repair my system, I'll save you the trouble: don't. Here is a (non exhaustive) list of the steps I have taken in the past half a year to troubleshoot/diagnosis/attempt to repair my system:

    -I went through the whole process "devmgmt.msc".

    -J' I updated my version of .NET for the last.

    -J' downloaded and installed ALL the latest drivers for BIOS, GPU, WLAN, USB 3.0, memory card reader, and even, you name it. Yes, not even the latest GPU drivers on your work site. The 7730M does everything just quite Win8. This means that the two latest drivers are not later, or that you have published a very sloppy update that probably made things worse rather than improve it.

    -J' checked multiple for a line (beginning with DELL) for corrections.

    -J' visited the site Web of AMD and unacceptable, specific Win8 for 7730M drivers have not been released yet. Worse yet, it seems that they have not committed to a schedule for updating their drivers!

    -J' tried to install different versions of drivers of M 7730, none has made a difference.

    -I probably did some other things but I do not remember anything else right now.

    Look, it's very simple, DELL. On behalf of all THOSE who have purchased the 7520 from you (and I know that he is a popular model), we are sick and tired of waiting for an update of the simple driver! If AMD can not get their shit right, move them, push, force to! You have a business relationship with them, but you also have a relationship with us, your customers. If you indeed treat us like your valuable customers, so please, please, please, please, please, just publish this update of elusive driver that reactivates the GPU in our 7520, if running on Win7 or Win8. It is a shame for me; In fact, I took the time to type this essay just to release all my pent-up frustration.

    Finally, I got it with not be able to enjoy something that I legitimately own the way I want. If you don't sort this issue as soon as possible, I give you my word, I don't have to buy another DELL again. Do not respond to this letter by means of a useless official response you give to each complainant unique, I like to take concrete measures. Also, I don't want to go down to Win7 I like Win8, so this isn't an option as well. This issue has climbed out of control - simply by looking at the number of threads complaining about this same exact thing makes me want to pull out my hair. Once more, on behalf of all Inspiron 15R SE 7520 owners, I beg DELL and/or AMD to lead to a permanent solution to this problem quickly. Pretty please?

    Yours sincerely,

    An extremely agitated owner Inspiron 7520

    I've been using a n5010 with a core i3 370 m and 4650 m since 2.5 years even if there is an increase in acceptable performance for me: p I know I shouldn't expect to play on the set high in the good fps but it will do the job for me. And Yes, I couldve built much better desktop at the same price, but I'll take it to College for CAD, so there need to be a portable system. Instead, think wait you two months or more for computers laptops haswell will be worh it?
