Dell Laptop Inspiron N5010 15

I've had this laptop (to give) and I am not able to connect for 2 reasons-one, do not know the password the former user had put in and two, it says "no hard drive / or use the USB drive.

Please (1) how can I log into 'safe mode' on this laptop (it has Windows 7 Home)?

And what type of hard drive (internal or external) will work better for this model?

Thanks for all your replies.

Since you do not know the history of this laptop, you should read the service manual.

See what he is missing.

  • Pregnant with my Dell laptop inspiron 3537 went silent

    I just bought my new laptop a laptop DELL INSPIRON 3537 a month ago and I had no problems before. Yesterday I was with my webcam and after discussing with my friend, I closed the program and picked up the phone and went back to my room, I plugged in the charger and started playing wow, and when he started my left speaker was already dead. I tried to reinstall the drivers found on the official site of dell and tried other programs to update the driver, but none of them solved the problem. When I plug my phone to ear/head, they work very well. IM out of ideas please help me!

    Hello. When you get audio through the correct helmet but none through speakers, and reinstall the audio driver does not correct (relocation restores the default configuration and resolve any configuration problem), then it is a hardware failure and you need to contact Technical Support.

    There are 3 problems that can expose your symptoms - the speakers are disconnect, failure, or impedance detection mechanism in the headphone jack fails. If you are interested in trying to cut down you can run the tests in ePSA.

    1. reboot the computer.
    2. immediately at the Dell logo screen, start typing the key until the start time menu appears (if the computer starts Windows shut down the computer and try again).
    3. in the start time menu, press the arrow of to highlight Diagnostics, PSA + or Enter ePSA, then press to start the PSA.
    Look for a "Make Quick Check" Audio button on the lower side right of the screen of the main menu of ePSA. Press the button and check if you can hear sound from the speakers.

    If you do not "Perform Quick Check Audio" button then this. Start the PSA tests, and when he runs the test of the colors it will ask you if you see the color bars on the screen. Deliberately fail the test by not answering any (press key "n") instead of Yes. When you do this the PSA test emits a series of beeps. Listen to the beeps.

    If you do not hear the tones or beeps means that the speakers were disconnected or failed.
    If you do not hear the tones means that the speakers are working and are connected. In this case that the signal does not come by them because the circuits of detection in the headphone jack does not. When this happens, it prevents audio activation of the plug to the speakers.

    The only other 'test' for this kind of problem is to restore the laptop to original factory settings using the restore image (Dell Factory Image Restore). Who cannot tell you exactly the problem, but it does not give a positive confirmation of hardware failure.

    I'm sorry. If the laptop is still within the period of 21 days you can return. Otherwise, he must settle for a repair.

  • Computer Dell laptop inspiron n5110 is not disabled after stopping

    I am facing problem on turn off. After the press is shut down, just close the lcd screen but still the power button is lit. I have to press and hold the power button / full stop. Please notify. I'm really worried because of this problem,

    ***SOLUTION***
    
    This is a hardware problem, not a software problem. I am running the factory Win 7 home x64 and dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 x64, with this exact problem in both OS's.
    
    What I did is I took out the keyboard and the palm rest (there should be a tear down guide put out by Dell) and you should see a coin cell battery. I took it out for about 10 seconds and then put it back in. I also checked all the other connections and removed and reseated the HDD. 
    
    I then went into BIOS and made sure there weren't any funky settings. It now shuts down, suspends, and wakes properly (only tested in Ubuntu 12.04)
    
    I have no clue how or why, but that's what did it.

  • Problem with drivers WLan on Dell Inspiron N5010

    I recently bought Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop, however, there seems to be a small problem: impossible to get WLan drivers installed.

    I use Windows 7 (x 64 Edition). On the Device Manager under "Other devices" there is an unknown 'network controller '.

    Tried to install the drivers for Dell drivers & downloads section (Yes, I used my serial number), but there was a problem with the following:

    -R252544 for Dell Wireless WLAN 1520 half minicards. Result: "no compatible hardware found. The software you are trying to install is not supported on this system. The software will not be installed. "Half Mini Card

    -R247430 for link Intel (R) Intel WiMAX 6250. Result: "this software package cannot be installed on your system."

    -R252283 for Intel Intel(r) WiFi Link 6200 "no compatible hardware detected. The software you are trying to install is not supported on this system. The software will not be installed. »

    All these messages to appear just after you run the Setup program. Other drivers have been installed successfully and in good order.

    I assume you have three possibilities: -.

    (1) you can visit http://supportapj.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=in&l=en&s=gen and make the right choices...
