• Inspiron laptop power button: LED backlight?

  I have a new laptop Inspiron 5758. When I press the power button on this topic, the power button does not, even if there is a small translucent band on it designed to show the light from an LED behind it.

  At work, we have a few new laptops Latitude 15 and their power buttons lights up when you press.

  A Dell technical support person told me that the Inspiron buttons power lights don't hurry; the single LED on the system is a forward on the half lower case which serves as an indicator of activity combination of load and disk.

  The tech support person gave me specific information?

  There is no led on or around the power on button.

• Dell Inspiron laptop, Windows Vista Factory restore problems :(

  Hi, I'm a poster first. My computer knowledge is empowered moderate, so please cut me some slack! I hope someone can help me, I would be very happy.

  I have a Dell Inspiron laptop computer and the operating system Windows Vista 32. I recently tried a factory restore. I wish that I would have looked at this site before I tried.

  I finished the factory restore, but I think that I made a mistake. I have saved all the files except my music files, because I didn't think anything was important. I'm stoopied. Now, when I try to use my computer is a few things wrong with it.

  1 there is no way to connect to or even to recognize a wireless network. I have one in my house who previously worked a lot with my computer. When I use windows to diagnose the problem: "this computer has an adapter installed and configured wireless device." If I click on the button that says "install wireless networking equipment and verify that the correct drivers are loaded. Up is a window "Solve driver problems" which is almost useless.

  2. when I try to run a program, for example already installed windows Mah Jong Titans, on the computer I get this message: "exceleration material is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow down the performance of the game. Good so my video card is not well configured. Now that I look, the resolution looks really different than before. Kind of a blur. I use my computer to run the music production software so I don't know that this is going to work.

  3. I have the DVD of re-installation of the operating system. I also have the CD of resources that contains all of the drivers (or other.) I can't load the drivers, or even knowing which ones I should install.

  I guess that I just want to know what I do to recover my computer at 100%. I hope that my problem is not too broad or too specific, but I hope some feeling there out a pain and can help out me.

  THANKS IN ADVANCE

  OK, the factory restore (takes 10 minutes) is less work because everything is done and you do not have to load drivers or utilities. In any case, it is easy to do and you have all that on the drivers and utilities CD. There might be a few steps on the CD, but you can download Dell. Once you have reinstalled Windows back post and I'll tell you the order in which to load your drivers. To do this: equip your Windows DVD. Everything that comes close to her. Restart the computer. As soon as you see the Logo Dell press F12. You will see the start page. Select your drive (should already be highlighted) and press ENTER. Press a key, install now, accept licenses, instructions are not always the same for each computer, depends on your configuration. Take your time, follow the instructions carefully. You must delete all data from your hard drive (C :) and the NTFS file system format. Also delete (D :), it's where is the factory restore.) You can post back if you arrive at a page (just stop there and wait for my reply) you don't understand.

  Ideas: Dell Inspiron Laptop with Vista installed at the factory does not start. The display shows

  Hello

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 and I have never changed or got a new charger, but now, for some reason, whenever I turn on my laptop, I get an error message saying that it cannot identify the power of my charger and therefore will be not my laptop. I tried different outlets, the whole and I even run diagnostics on my computer as he recommended, and he finds no problems.

• Dell Inspiron 15r 5537-sleep problem/change

  Hello

  Everytime I wake up my laptop from sleep by opening the lid and then pressing the power button it sometimes restart itself on the lock screen display. I want to got to solve this problem.  I have Windows 8.1.

  I solved my problem of reactivation of the laptop! REFERENCE DELL 5737 17R

  I'll try to explain what happened.

  After the upgrade to Win8.1, update windows try to update Inter HD graphic card driver preinstalled on dell systems. This video driver is * ESSENTIAL * for suspend/Hibernate/LidClose mode to work correctly.

  It's the signature of the update Win8.1 suggests to apply:

  [x] - Intel Corporation - graphics adapter - WDDM1.1, WDDM1.2, WDDM1.3 graphics card graphics card - Intel(r) HD Graphics Family

  DO NOT APPLY THIS UPDATE! *

  If you do, this will conflict with the graphics card from AMD and the result of the unpleasant problems, including:

  * Cannot restore black screen if you close lid and then reopening
  * Failed to properly put into hibernation
  * Cannot restore cut LCD monitor for powersave

  IF you see the DELL support site, you may notice that the LAST available Intel HD video is OLDER than the liveupdate installed (from microsoft).

  Solution:

  1. remove/uninstall all the animals AMD
  2 reset
  3. remove the driver Intel HD Video and reinstall the driver older DELL site
  4 reboot (unplug the network/lan... * IMPORTANT *)
  5 disable automatic LiveUpdate
  6. replace the network/LAN
  "" 7 locate the available update package, hide "xxxx WDDM1.1 graphics card.

  You want now, as a final, to say NO, NO reboot, THANKS to Intel video driver LiveUpdate.

  You now have a dell with prolonged sleep/standby mode of work.
  When I close the lid only to reopen it, finally the LCD back on.
  Don't let liveupdate reinstall this update of villain.

  Of course, the AMD accelerated graphics card won't work, because all the AMD drivers are now gone.
  I don't really like for now, I'll try to reinstall AMD/catalyst * ONLY * when a newer version from the DELL support site. They are stuck to the pilots in 2013, they are old enough, and I fear that they may cause other problems with Win8.1 too.

  Please Dell, give us a better experience, let's not lose all the time trying to correct your buggy drivers!

  Hope this helps someone.

  LED power button fix

  Toshiba
  Satellite P300-h-13

  By Thom
  Wijtenburg

  First of all, I would like to
  say you that I came up with this correction, after a clean reinstall of the
  Vista. (I used the serial number of windows on the bottom of my laptop for)
  install, so it's the same license as the OEM of windows and therefore
  Tout_a_fait legal.) After the clean install and installation of all the
  the drivers listed on the site of toshiba LED power button (also
  known as the mute button) and the CDDVD butten (mediaplayer button)
  stopped working. After browsing around forums toshiba I found
  this case, I removed the support button utility that the mute button has acted as
  a mute button. Also the mediaplayer button worked fine. Reinstalled
  the utility support for the button and they have stopped working. After many
  toshiba calls (I think about 5-6 in one day) they opened a
  support ticket for me, because they (team support callcenter)
  could not find a solution. Following their advice, I did the
  next to try to make it work:

  * Don't have a system restore with the restore DVD.
  * Do you have an another clean install.
  * Install the drivers in various ways (alphabetically reversed by alphabetical order and order of collection DVD).
  * update my BIOS.
  * downloaded a 'new' version of value added package (which was the same thing I already had).
  * installed the VAP with and without technical support button utility, no changes.
  After doing everything
  This, they said that they did not know the cause of my problem (at the beginning
  they thought it was hardware related). They came with a possible
  anwer:

  "It is."
  possible that we removed some features of windows vista
  operating system so that our one utility for device drivers
  work. In addition, we do support the configuration, that we delivered
  When you bought the laptop. »

  Now of course, I have
  understand that. I waited allmost a week, no response. Neither
  by electronic mail, or by phone, so I decided to google more
  on the problem.

  After a certain
  some research on Toshiba forum and Googling I came across
  a thread that sayd I must first install the utility 'control '.
  and the button press. Unfortunately what it did not work.

  Then, all of a sudden
  Windows displays a message saying that I should install the TOSHIBA.
  "ACPI-based value-added general use and logical device driver.
  I clicked on the provided download link, and the VFR package was a newer version
  version of the support page for my laptop which is held. So I downloaded
  This PPV version 1.17 and installed it. After a reboot, the buttons
  still did not work. But at least I got the file HWSetup.exe, where I
  could turn the LED off. Look into the button holder utility, I have
  saw that there where buttons like "Toshiba Assist" which my
  the laptop model is not.

  Navigation
  through the toshiba forum I found a file named ButtonSettings.ini, in
  which I can manually configure special keys. After a google
  search on the name of the file, I found that all the buttons list
  in a registry key. I saw the "Dimmer" file using the button
  folder and clicked on it. Poof... lights went out. Click again,
  Poof... lights turn it back on. So I replaced the wrong button definitions
  with CDDVD and dimmer values. Saved my changes but is not a restart.
  Opens the support button utility and change the path of
  MediaPlayer (who was always there to a previous definition) to
  Dimmer.exe. checked to see if the button CDDVD pointed
  MediaPlayer and restarted. When everything has been started, I pushed on the
  button again and presto... MUTE lights off. Pushed again, poof...
  lights. Pressed the mediaplayer button and started to mediaplyer. I have
  has been very happy when everything worked.
  Now that you
  know the story, here's the fix.

  * Difficulty: *.
  * Download and install the new VAP from here: [http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/util_tvap_26084A.exe]
  * Choose Edit in the installation and make sure that everything is checked
  * do NOT restart after the installation.
  * Download the ini fix and the fixed registry
  * Uncompress its contents into your working folder.
  * Copy the ini into C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TBS (where C: is the drive of program files)
  * In this same folder, start the exe called TBSbtnSt.exe
  * do NOT restart, click on 'no' in the dialog box.
  * Double click on the registry key, and then click 'Yes' to add to the registry
  * Then open the button support utility by clicking Start-> Toshiba-> utilities-> Toshiba assist. Help go to optimilization and click support button tohiba
  * If the path or the description is disabled, fix, and then click Save. See also if the CD/DVD mediaplayer points.
  * Restart you computer now.
  * If everything is is well past your special buttons should work.

  * WARNING: *.

  It worked for
  me, with my Toshiba Satellite P300-h-13, edition windows Home premium 32-bit.
  It should work on any model of 6 buttons with the mediaplayer and the mute
  buttons. I am in no way responsible for any damage that may arise

• Once I turn on my dell inspiron laptop 1545 dell logo appears and then the screen goes black

  Let me start by saying: I had similar problems before, but none of the usual works.  The other day, these two Windows Update kept popping up and wouldn't go away so I clicked finally allow.  Then the next day that I was on the internet and my computer froze, I tried to turn it off and it wouldn't if I pressed the power button until it did.  Then when I turned it back after the dell logo appeared all that I had a black screen with a cursor in the upper left.  I ran diagnostics and startup repair and nothing.  I tried to do the restore of the system once in couple with different points and nothing, I still get the black screen after dell logo.  Is there another way outside the reinstallation of the operating system, to fix (because I really don't want to lose everything I have on my computer - and no I don't save it anywhere)?

  You can reinstall the OS without formatting the drive, all of your data in a folder named windows.old. You will need the Dell Windows Vista disc however.

  Follow my guide here: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/1434.aspx
  Start with step 3. (require reinstalling Dell DVD). Skip step 5 continue on step 6 to step 7. Install Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 (autonomous probably 32-bit) and stand-alone Internet Explorer 9. You must download these in step 4 with the system drivers as described (probably, use another computer and use a USB drive). Install the drivers as mentioned system. Activation should be useless since you use the Dell DVD in a BIOs Dell. At the stage. 12 use the automated to retrieve documents from Windows.old. Make sure you have everything and then delete windows.old.

• How do windows 7 start, power button problems

  Windows 7 Home premium on side of Dell inspiron 560 3.6

  Windows does not start when the Start button / stop is pressed, windows has become a mini dump to protect the system, there is a timer on the Start button, what is the procedure to start?

  Hi Joan,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

  a. you are able to view the Dell logo, when the system is turned on?

  b. What do you mean when you say, "windows went into a mini discharge to protect the system?"

  c. you are able to boot, sometimes, when you refer to "timer on the Start button? What Timer are you referring?

  d. do you have the Windows 7 installation disc?

  e. What is the final on-screen display when you turn on the system and let idle?

  If you are not yet able to see the logo of the manufacturer Dell during system startup, you may need to communicate with the hardware Dell supports for the diagnostic system hardware.

  If, however, you are able to see the nut of Dell logo not able to reach the login screen, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  If you have not tried running a startup of your system using a Windows 7 DVDrepair, I suggest you to try once. Try to boot from a disc to install Windows 7 on the Windows recovery environment mode and then try to run the Startup Repair tool and check if you are able to start normally.

  See the section: How to use Startup Repair in the following link.

  Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

  If the problem persists, try the following method.

  Method 2:

  Step 1: Try to start your system in a State of services necessary to the operation and a minimum set of drivers enabled, called Safe Mode.
  Start your computer in safe mode

  Step 2: If the system works fine in safe mode, try to clean the system startup:

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows

  Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

• Dell Inspiron 1545 AC adapter problem

  Okay, so I got my inspiron 1545 for 4 months now and have had a problem where the "battery is plugged in, not charging", I've read many places that, my adapter has probably went wrong and he can buy a new Dell store. Only... When I go to my local library, my battery charges. Which is really weird. I have computers and video game consoles and TV plugged in my house, and they all work very well. But my laptop won't charge. Is it just a strange coincidence? Or should I look to buy a new Dell adapter?

  Don't waste your time on the replacement of the adapter. Computers Dell laptops have a problem with their motherboards. Dies the chip that recognizes the adapter and the adapter will be refused to be recognized by the device, causing the load to stop. Once in a blue moon, it will load, but what is? Dell refuses to acknowledge this problem, so I'm not buying more Dell products until they offer a reminder and replacing the defective motherboards for free, whether under warranty or not.

• Error Win 7 BSOD on my Dell Inspiron laptop.

  My laptop Dell Inspiron running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit often gives me error BSOD especially if I use Internet Explorer (version 9).

  The error indicates something error page_file and igdmpd64.sys at the beginning.
  The error dump file created is linked here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76864031/030713-24242-01.dmp
  If anyone can help?

  Hello

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: (don't forget to update the BIOS and)
  Dell chipset drivers)

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, this leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who will be generally
  be older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it)
  and then go look for new ones manually if you wish.

• UP2716D power button problem

  Hello

  so I bought a monitor UP2716D the other day and I have a problem with the power button (which is sensitive to the touch). So, the thing is that most of the time I have to press the button 5 - 6 times before she feeds, it rarely works the first time. It only occurs with the power button, the menu buttons work perfectly. Does anyone else have this kind of problem, or possibly a solution?

  Thank you.

  I know, it's so boring! But what I realized, is that if you drag your finger from left to right on the power button slightly, she works as 99% of the time, so I hope this helps.
