Dell Inspiron or Toshiba Satellite

I need you guys to tell what I should choose. Special Edition of inspirion 15r Dell or TOSHIBA Satellite C55-A-1JP. These two laptops have almost the same specification.

Since this is the Dell forum, I have to say Dell. You would have to post on Toshiba forum to ask questions about the Satellite.

  • Dell Inspiron 14z Wi - Fi connectivity issues

    I have a brand new Ultrabook Dell Ispiron 14z.  I keep having problems with Wi - Fi connectivity.  I can use the Ethernet connection very well, but when I try to connect to the Wi - Fi I'm getting no access or limited connectivity.  I have other devices and laptops that work very well on the same Wi - Fi networks.

    Help, please.  I hope that I don't have to send the laptop back but if Wi - Fi does not work it sort of defeats the purpose.

    Thank you

    I bought the laptop series Inspiron 5000 14 at costco, a week ago. I have problems to major wifi adapter, which if you look at the thread on the community support forums, seems to be a design flaw with the location of the wifi radio models in this (and a few other Inspiron).

    See: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-internet-wireless/f/3324/t/19589278

    This is a showstopper for me and I'll return the laptop to Costco as soon as POSSIBLE. I'm looking at a similar replacement machine (non-Dell) and found a decent deal at Best Buy for a Toshiba Satellite 14 '' touchscreen with similar specs as the Dell.

    http://www.BestBuy.com/site/Toshiba-Satellite-14-touch-screen-laptop-Intel-Core-i5-6GB-memory-750gb-hard-drive-satin-gold/6128128.p?ID=1219191185727&skuId=6128128&St=i5&CP=1&LP=3

    I hope this helps others who are considering this phone or who bought this laptop to understand the issues with the Intel Dual Wireless 3160 adapter. This is not an incident isolated - just do a search on google for 'wifi dell inspiron 5000 14 problems' and there are many stories of customers with similar problems.

    Shame on you Dell to put out such a piece under the normal material. I'm not impressed.

  • Toshiba satellite which is stuck in the installation of service Pack 1. I have service pack 2, can not fix with this cd, can I install service Pack 2 on it without loss of data or files?

    I have the laptop (Toshiba satellite) friend who's stuck in the installation of the service Pack 1.  I have service pack 2 and am wondering, since I can't fix with this cd, can I install service Pack 2 on it without loss of data or files?

    PC claims service pack1 cd with file asms

    When you use service pack 2 cd can not load product catalogues, it is fatal error, the Setup logs files should contain more information.

    Why not integrate Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 on her XP CD by following the instructions here (using another PC):

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/1443.aspx
    Copy all data on an external hard drive, do a clean install using the XP CD updated (preferably on the BIOs)
    Then, install the drivers from the system, then Microsoft Security Essentials, Windows 7 Firewall Control (XP free Version) and Malwarebytes' AntiMalware (free or Pro) or whatever you prefer security.
    Then copy the files over.
    This will probably lead to the best performance.
  • Can't see stereo mix on Dell Inspiron 7520

    Hello

    I know it is a problem that lasts for years and I googled and read a lot of forum posts on this topic but I still can't understand.

    I have a new Dell Inspiron 7520 and I want to use the stereo mix function, so I can record audio coming out of my Conexant SmartAudio HD card.

    I tried to open the driver and .inf file commenting on these three lines:

    HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,enable,1,01

    HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,MixAssocSeq,1,E0,E0

    HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,MuteGainSettings,1,00,00

    I then go back into Device Manager and re - install the driver Conexant by accessing the location of the .inf file that I just edited (by removing the comments of semi-colons). But I get the error message: "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it - Conexant HD Audio - the system cannot find the file specified. '. Just before I noticed it says that the driver is not signed, which could be a problem as I have Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    I got it to work!

    The solution involves the file the modified driver .inf and re - install this file. Here, I explain what I did in case anyone else has this same problem. This should work for any Windows 7 64 bit computer with the Conexant HD sound card and driver Conexant HD even though I only tested it on my own computer.

    My problem:

    New Dell Inspiron 7520, Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit, Conexant SmartAudio HD sound card with the last driver Conexant Web Dell Drivers site. Stereo mix would not appear in Control Panel > Sound > recording even tab after a right-click empty space and selecting display disabled and show disconnected devices.

    Solution:

    Make sure that you install the Conexant HD SmartAudio driver. You should see it under the sound, video and game controllers in Device Manager. With the Conexant driver already installed and the key work is to find the exact location of the driver file. It can vary from one computer to another and also be called something else. Mine is called chdrt.inf and it was located in: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\chdrt.inf_amd64_neutral_fa34defac299c440

    If you don't know where your .inf file, you could do a search for windows for text in files of the string: EpSettings\StereoMixEnable. It will most likely be a file with a .inf extension and located in a subfolder of the System32 folder.

    Right-click on the name of the .inf file and select 'Open with' then choose Notepad. Press Ctrl + F and search for StereoMix to find three lines:

    ; HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,enable,1,01

    ; HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,MixAssocSeq,1,E0,E0

    ; HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,MuteGainSettings,1,00,00

    Delete the semicolon-->; and save the file. However, Windows doesn't allow you to save the .inf file unless you change the permissions of files. It becomes complicated and a little dangerous!

    Basically a right-click on the .inf, then click these buttons/tabs... Properties > Security > advanced > owner. The current owner should be TrustedInstaller. Change this account on your computer that has administrator rights, and you can connect as long as. To do this, click on change and in the "change in ownership to:" field there an entry should be there as: Administrators (name\Administrators of your computer) to select that then Ok and apply and Ok to close the dialog boxes.

    Now right-click on the .inf again file: properties > Security > Edit > select "Everyone" in the "Group or user names" > check the corresponding box to 'Write' in the 'Permissions for everyone' section > press Apply and OK your way to close all the dialog boxes. Now you can save the .inf file, you remove the semicolons of!

    This step is VERY important. You must change the return of the permissions to the way they were. Right-click on the .inf right and as before changing the write permission by deselecting the checkbox for 'Writing', and then change the property of the .inf file back to TrustedInstaller. This time you'll owner > Edit > other users or groups and type NT service TrustedInstaller in the box and press on check the names, then Ok and apply your way out dialog boxes.

    Now finally, re - install the driver: here I had problems with the driver not being recognized and maybe it's because Windows 7 64 bit has said it is not digitally signed so here's what I did: Start Menu > right click on command prompt > run as administrator > type this command and press on... Enter bcdedit/set nointegritychecks WE.

    To install the driver: Device Manager > sound, video and game controllers > right click on HD SmartAudio Conexant > update driver software > Browse my computer for driver software > let me pick from a list... > Have Disk > Browse > now, here, you have to find the location of the .inf file that you just edited, in my case, I stuck in the path to the folder and press on enter then select the chrdt.inf file and click OK. When it was installed I went back to the command-line as before and run the command: bcdedit/set nointegritychecks OFF

    Now, I rebooted the computer and this time stereo Mix appear in Control Panel > sound > recording after right click tab empty space and selecting display disabled and show disconnected devices.

    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.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    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.

    Hello.

    I want to upgrade an old Toshiba Satellite U400-14Z (http://www.toshiba.eu/discontinued-p...lite-u400-14z/) a little by changing the CPU. Initially there is a processor Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 with FSB to 1066 MHz but I thought to put there P9700 or P9500. It seems that they are similar, specification is exactly, except the speed and the amount of memory cache level 2. The question is: would this work?
    I also found CPU called T9900, which is the fastest of the family. However, T-line requires more power than the line P, 25W to 35W in comparison. Is it possible that she would work in this phone?
    Maybe there's even some CPU more Rapids that would fit. Y at - it all? I'm looking for the maximum possible speed.

    I found Intel® Core 2 Extreme Processor QX9300 who might be compatible. It has 4 cores and a thermal power of 45W design, compared to P8400 of TDP 25W. I suspect that the cooling of this laptop is insufficient to be able to disperse the money.

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro S500 i5 or i7 i3 CPU upgrade

    Hi everyone, I'm having 7 Toshiba Satellite Pro S500 Notebooks here and want to update these shit Core i3 330M and 350M, 370 M and 380M CPU for Core i5 or Core i7 CPU. I'm not quite sure what CPU Socket, I have to buy and which generations of CPUS are supported by the S500. I processors up to 380 M Corei3 assembled in these things now and think its a HM55 Express chipset inside which must allow to i5 and i7 processors. I already had problems in upgrading toshiba tecra A9 modells and after upgrading CPU they were running very well and the FAN was blowing ultra noisy at speed of 100% all the time without ever turning off again even if the laptop could be frozen at 0 ° C and it has never been warm. Level 3rd Toshiba support then told me that he would need a firmware update they do provide customers and was told to send books to repair @ € 50 each, just to update this microcode. So I would ask if anyone has a list of processors supported for the S500 modells?
    Numbers of exact model I have:
    Satellite Pro S500-106 (PSSE0E-19M06SLD)
    Satellite Pro S500-147 (PSSE0E-0HH06SLD)
    Satellite Pro S500-132 (PSSE0E-09G05ELD)

    Hope someone can help, I don't want to end up buying an i7 or i5 cpu, spending 50 dollars, investing 4 hours work and end up with a laptop unusable, I immediately dismantle again just for the work that I had invested... Forward your answers J

    Best thing to do is to choose a CPU provided with one of the other S500 PSSE0E patterns. This way you can be sure the BIOS supports.
    Some portable computers require a cooling system calibration after that another CPU is installed. An ASP can do the calibration.
