• Desperately need a updated graphics card for Dell Inspiron N7010

  I literally spend days trying to upgrade the GPU on my Dell Inspiron N7010, Windows 7 machine. I made the mistake of download 2012 Movie Maker to replace the 2011 version, which worked perfectly.

• Dell Inspiron N7010 N17 stops randomly

  Phone support Dell couldn't really do much more trying to sell me a new battery for the system, which I know isn't the problem, I thought I'd try here for help instead. Fingers crossed I can solve this mystery.

  I have an old Dell Inspiron N7010 N17 mobile (2011) which has been great for years - however, last year, it has developed a rather unusual fault. Sometimes, when loading some programs, namely Skype, steam and some programs Microsoft Office Online, it just stops. Black screen, shut down, knocked out. I looked for dump files, but as it behaves like it was unplugged, there is no evidence whether the related software. It seems to happen completely randomly. It can go weeks between episodes, then down each time for a few days, then be good for awhile. It's a total bet if any of these programs actually work. So, here's what I did previously to try to set:

  I opened it taken apart and cleaned of dust and debris, that I could find. When that did not do much, I reinstalled the system of cooling on the CPU. My first thought was that it was heat causing it to quit smoking. But this has not solved the problem, or reduced any further. I have a program of video renderer that also warms the processor just as much, if not more, Skype will never, and it does NOT crash the system.

  I use the laptop to a desktop, so it's always plugged. I considered that it was a problem with the battery, and so I had it replaced this summer with a new one. However, this has also had no effect on her. It is also why I was so baffled that the phone tech wanted that I just get a new battery must have been low on his sales quota or something.

  I scanned and clean the system for any sign of malware or adware that might be the cause, as well as context software conflicts, but I came up empty. I can't think anything software wise that could force the system to get completely knocked out, but it creates all the dump files or error logs when it dies, I have no way to really continue the investigation there.

  At the end of the day, it's a light system that I use mainly for skyping with family and colleagues, and the occasional Civilization v round, when it doesn't let me do the steam. If it's a big problem or a major issue, it's not as if the system has not had a good run in recent years.

  You applied thermal paste fresh when you reinstall the processor?

• DELL INSPIRON N4010 WEBCAM QUESTIONS: PLEASE HELP... DELL CUSTOMER... AND ANYONE WHO HAS KNOWLEDGE REGARDING MY PROBLEMS...

  I have a Dell Inspiron N4010. Configuration: 1st generation i5 processor with windows 7 home basic 64-bit.

  3 months after the purchase of my laptop, I have updated my Dell webcam central through the applications update service... Shortly after the update, my integrated webcam has started to show problems.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:

  Shortly after the update of my installed factory Dell webcam central, my integrated webcam has begun to show the problem. webcam was able to start with any application such as Skype or dell central webcam himself. Instead, webcam LED flashes for flicker of a second, and then goes away without any streaming video.  Trying to open it, an error message is displayed: "your webcam can be used by another application. Close the application to launch streaming video".» Initially, the problem was temporary, that is occasionally the webcam began video streaming without any problem, but as the time passed, webcam stopped working almost completely.

  TRIED SOLUTIONS:

  I tried all the solutions mentioned below:

  • I uninstalled the Dell webcam software and reinstalled with the version installed in the factory, supplied on CD with laptop. Uninstalled the webcam via the Device Manager and reinstalled, but without success.
  • I heard that there is a conflict between the Dell face recognition software and dell webcam central. So, I uninstalled the dell face recognition software. After that, the webcam worked for a few days, and there still rebooted problem.
  • I went through various forums online, dell community, customer service, etc. and everything suggested tried but without success. I heard several times that this is not a hardware fault but driver error. Even in a few forums, its says that Creative Technology Limited have not been able to supply webcam drivers compatible with windows 7 64-bit.
  • I even did factory restore my laptop twice, but could not do my webcam works.
  • Then, I decided to format my system and installed windows7 again with the disc that came with my laptop. During this process, I have kept the recovery drive and the untouched OEM disk untouched. I have reinstalled all the drivers in such order as advised by Dell. Despite puts everything in order, I couldn't do my built-in webcam work. More... now I can't even access the Dell factory restore option despite the fact that my recovery disk is intact and it is to have all the files into it!
  • I tried the utility dell online Diagnostics. He could not detect any error webcam!
  • Few days back, I used the dell startup screen diagnostic utility and scanned the built-in webcam to find errors, and my webcam failed in all tests! Here are the screenshots of the tests:

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  I GUESS I GAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH MY DELL INTEGRATED WEBCAM... I ASKED DELL CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HELP ME SOLVE MY PROBLEM OF WEBCAM... AND ALSO THE FACTORY RESTORE INACCESSIBILITY PROBLEM... PLEASE HELP ME...

  AFTER AN ENTIRE WEEK OF UNINSTALLING - REINSTALLING VARIOUS DRIVERS & SOFTWARE FOUND IN THESE FORUMS, SUGGESTIONS INCLUDING REINSTALLING WINDOWS FROM DELL DATA SECURE BACKUP.  THIS IS WHAT I LEARNED.

  My problem was. No supported webcam not connected when I ran dell webcam central. No program could access the webcam. Device Manager showed SPECIFIC DEVICE. Camera suddenly stopped working! I had a little more hair when this problem started.

  I have Inspiron N4010 windows 7 Home premium. Are the drivers for the webcam in windows 7, there is no separate drivers available anywhere. with the exception of some XPS models.

  A post in these forums suggests to abolish the plastic around the display bezel. It's simple. Just carefully go around and remove. It is clipped without screws on my system. This gives access to the webcam hardware. I got dell webcam central on-board. (showing no supported webcam connected!). Gently, I tried to disconnect the connector of the webcam. My intention was to disconnect and reconnect. I barely touched and the fire came and windows immediately started to install device drivers. A beep and an icon in the notification bar popped up. A few minutes, I saw my beautiful mug on the screen to my absolute delight.

  Guys, if you have a problem where Device Manager does not recognize your webcam for most probably, this is a hardware problem. The small rectangular plate on which is mounted the webcam is not properly secured by DEll. It is a DESIGN PROBLEM. The Board is located in place on two small round plastic holders without any screws. It can move easily. The bezel plastic when it is installed itself that holds it in place, but not very effective. When you open and close the lid of the screen, especially if you are taking in the middle where the camera you finally loose connector. That's why some messages will tell you what they camera has stopped working suddenly and then started working by himself all of a sudden. When I put the bezel plastic, it snaps into place, I was able to move the camera, and it stopped working again. A little gentle jiggle got running again and its been since.

  It does not matter what version of central webcam you have in windows 7. It runs on windows Vista service pack 2 compatibility mode. (Find WEBCAMDELL2. EXE file under programs x 86-dellwebcam-dellwebcam Central-dell webcam central. Right-click on the file name. Select Properties. Select the Compatibility tab and run this program in compatibility select windows vista service pack 2).

  If in your case even though there might be a software problem. always try this simple 2 minute solution b4 safe spending frustrating days find the drivers and software. Hope this post helps someone. May work on other systems too! Good luck! and thank you to the guy who led me down this path and misery!

• Dell Inspiron One HDMI question

  I have an Inspiron One 2320.  I tried to connect a TV as a second monitor.  To my surprise, the computer's HDMI port is a HDMI input port.  Am I reading correctly?  Can someone please help me and confirm that I can't use the HDMI port to connect to the TV?

  If it is in fact a HDMI input, what is - this really for?  What devices that require an HDMI port to send the signal to the computer.

  I am so confuse with it, and why even do a HDMI input and not a HDMI output?

  Thanks in advance

  I have an Inspiron One 2330 Touch.

  Other features include an HDMI port... A HDMI-IN port. It would be something like a Blu - Ray player, cable box or DVR amp HDMI out, Tablet... something like that... like the Inspiron is a simple monitor or HDTV.

  I was also surprised that the video output was only a VGA 15 pins. Maybe the next model will have a DVI output. At least this way, either natively or with a converter inexpensive... you can drive DVI, VGA or HDMI even (with no sound). DisplayPort is a versatile alternative.

  In your case... If your template does not output a VGA (or your second monitor is not a VGA input)... you should be able to get a "USB video card.

• Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 does not work with the charger. Charger is not recognized. No problem with charger.

  My Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 does not recognize charger. And unfortunately my warranty expired 2 months ago.
  It was plugged and work in the morning, but then in the afternoon I noticed he was running on battery only. It does not start without battery (charger just plugged).

  1 this is what I did to debug. Me and my brother, we bought the same computers Dell laptops at the same time a year and a bit ago. That's why a debugging purposes, it was good.
  I took my charger and plugged into his computer. And it works. Certainly not the charger problem I guess. And when I plug the charger my computer, green light is still on the charger. And I have the original charger provided with the laptop.

  2. now, laptop is running on battery only, so that means that this motherboard works. I think so.

  3. the next thing I did was charger disconnected and removed the battery from the laptop. Then I pushed and hold the "Power" button for 45 seconds to pay a royalty to the flea market. Charger plugged in but laptop will not start.

  4. then I booted the laptop on battery, went to the BIOS and check if the charger is recognized in the BIOS. No, it does not recognize charger. So, if this isn't a charger so what else can we?

  5 laptop has no strange smells so I don't know if something happened with the motherboard, but I guess that motherboard is ok because it works battery.

  6. I was thinking of updating the BIOS, but I can't do it, because it will be not be updated then the laptop runs on the battery, it needs to be plugged.

  Now I'm stuck. I don't know what I can do. I'm willing to spend a little more money on it to try to fix.

  If someone had such a problem in the past please let me know what you have done and if it fixed it.
  Or if anyone has any other ideas, I will be happy and appreciated the help.

  Hello and sorry for this late post. Just had this problem... If there is nothing wrong with the AC adapter, it's a software problem.

  Close the laptop... Unplug the AC adapter / CC... Remove the battery... Plug the power adapter... Start the laptop... Go to the control panel... Find and select the Device Manager... Batteries, left click... Uninstall Microsoft AC Adapter, uninstall Microsoft ACPI compatible with battery control method... In fact, uninstall all you can under the batteries, but that should be all there is. It will be re - install when starting... Stop cell phone... Remove the AC adapter / CC... Replace the battery... Plug the power adapter... Start the laptop... Now, everything should be good.

• Good question about windows 8 dell inspiron 3521 with graphics card intel delay right click.

  Greetings,

  I have an operating system running windows 8 pro on dell inspiron 3521. When I bought the camera, the problem was not visible up to 1 year, and then I installed "Tuneup utilities" for a scan and then uninstalled. Since then, I found annoying problem on my pc.
  

  Relatek HD audio was working fine but then it started showing good results, but the sound from the speaker is not and or if plugged headphones as well. PC not dettect not any problem on the sound while troubleshooting. The sign of the speaker on the status bar when clicked and increases the volume of it increases the volume, but the sound and color do not here as well.
  It does a strange thing when I trouble shoot using the sound properties and click 'TEST' test is fine, but I can't hear any sound good! and again when I click TEST on speaker, it says "this device is used by another application. Please close... "
  However, the sound works fine without any problems for a while when I trouble shoot with 'Find and fix with device' or I restart the pc. But after a while this problem automatically. with this desktop right click question also annoyed me for the compliment can be! :( Help

  TuneUp utilities and similar programs usually don't serve to ruin a Windows Installer do it do more damage than good. Stories like yours are not uncommon with these programs. Back up all your data on an external hard drive. If you did a restore USB with your system can boot from to restore factory settings. If you have not done one, try using backup and restore Dell to make one. TuneUp utilities may have ruined the Dell backup feature and the recovery and partition recovery so I advise to call Dell technical support and request a DVD of resettlement or recovery USB just in case. I prefer the DVD because it can be copied to a USB key and has no preloaded software, allowing a cleaner installation. You can then try to restore the factory settings and if something goes wrong with the restoration use Dell support to clean install.

• Question of Caps Lock Notification? Vista problem? or Dell Inspiron Issue?

  Sorry if this is in the wrong forum; but I don't know who it is.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 running Vista Home Premium 64 Bit.

  The question is when ever I type in another Forum, such as this one; or an email or even a Word document and I activate the "Caps" lock - it will get the sentence I type and I have the mouse to where I was.

  I know that I get a notification "on the screen", but what the hell is happening? It shouldn't start me the sentence when I type.

  I searched for hours and finally comes to join this community. So is it a Vista problem or a problem of Dell?

  Thanks in advance!

  You have Dell Quickset, installed on your system? Have you looked inside for a parameter disable the notification?

  EDIT: According to this thread, it is certainly a matter of quick adjustment... They solved by uninstalling QuickSet, but there may be a QuickSet setting to disable the notification...
