Dell Latitude 5540 recovery

Hi all

I have a Dell Latitude E5540 I bought this second hand and the hard disk is formatted to a single hard disk and has no software of dell, he would be provided when new, can someone tell me if I can get the drive to factory condition as I want to use all the features of dell who has this laptop. I have no separate recovery partition, I tried the F12 key and there is no option of Dell to restore to factory condition as I said it is second hand and the shop I bought has a stupid policy to flatten the disk, which in turn eliminates all recovery options.

any help and advice would be useful.

Thanks in advance

    Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external optical drive USB (CD/DVD)

    The BIOS has no setting for it. It will boot from a flash drive. I would like to boot from my CD of 2013 Acronis Recovery Console.  Anyone have any success to boot from a CD/DVD USB drive?

    Yes, there is a way to do this.

    I just did this to install Windows 10 from a DVD on a tablet of 10 Latitude by following these steps:
    (Note: my version of BIOS is A08)

    1. turn off the 10 latitude power.
    2. attach a USB hub to the USB slot unique on the side of the tablet.
    3. fix a keyboard and an external USB CD drive to the USB hub.
    4. now press the button down on the side of the Tablet and simultaneously press the power button for 5 seconds (until see you the screen light up, but will be weak against black unlit).

  • Dell Latitude E5520 - upgrade Seven 32-bit SP1 to Seven 64 bit SP1

    Hello world

    I bought a Dell Latitude E5520 in 2011 with a system of operating windows 7 32 bit french. I have 8 GB of RAM so I would like to upgrade my version of the OS a 32-bit to a 64-bit SP1 seven. My laptop (CPU, ram) is compatible with the 64-bit version. I have the 32-bit original key and dell DVD included in my purchase of the license. I do not have seven french operating system 64-bit DVD and I would like to buy one to upgrade my laptop...

    Is it necessary for me to buy a new license key (for the 64-bit version) or my 32-bit license key will be functional on this version of 64-bit DVD?

    Thanxs for all.

    Dell will not sell you a 64-bit Windows 7 disc usually, they support only the original operating system so if you asked media you would probably get media 32 Bit.

    However, your license is valid for both.

    You can use the ABR program to back up the activation of your Dell OEM SLP Factory:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-Windows/Microsoft-product-activation/the-activation-backup-and-recovery-program-Windows-Vista-7-version/

    Probably the same files that I saved the work for the French version but you can save your own in case where.

    You can then use an .iso of Digital River French Windows 7 to the same version of your COSTS:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-Windows/the-OEM-or-retail-license/

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/Windows-7-SP1-ISO-download/

    Install without a product key and after the installation, allows to restore Dell Factory ABR SLP OEM activation. See to install clean windows for more details:

  • Activate product key Dell latitude E6410

    OK, I have a Dell Latitude e6410 when I got it, it came with the hard drive has failed I replace the hard drive and a friend of mine who fixed it for put me Windows 7 Professional on there but any way or another I messed up windows if bad, it would not start again Windows, Enterprise Edition and I couldn't not started so I bought a key USB from Amazon It is by a company called fixed-to-fixed and it has Windows 7 Professional on this topic so I loaded that and put it in the product key provided with the Dell printer. Then I have to pay for the turn, or what I have to go back and get Windows enterprise?

    I tried to activate it by calling the toll-free number, but the supplied keyboard was not a zero on this issue. Only 1-9.

    Dell is a VAR (Value Added Reseller), was this laptop originally intended to be sold to a company? His possible destination was a large company that bought computers and Dell configure them previously with Windows Enterprise volume license customer.

    In order to have business installed however, the machine must be licensed with Windows Professional, since the company is an upgrade under the terms of a volume license.

    If the sticker of COA said Windows Professional OA, then you have the right to ask the recovery media and reinstall the edition appropriate for the machine.

  • No sound on Dell Latitude D520

    Dell Latitude D520 was in a good condition, a few weeks ago, regarding the sound and programming settings, functioned at that time here. Someone handed the laptop down to me and from that point is when I started having problems who never were a problem, all the time that I used it. The main problem is the fact that there is absolutely no sound. I took it to a sales associate at a store that does repairs on computers, who asked me to do a diagnostic check/scan, and when this was complete I discovered a problem under the sounds and Audion devices that joined the "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" does not properly, so when I went through the troubleshooting instructions , a download started, but was interrupted with a notice reading "continues the instalation of this software may impair or destabilize the functioning of your system, either immediately or in the future." Microsoft strongly reccomends that you stop the installation of this software now and contact the provider of material for software that has passed Windows Logo test. "The sales associate told me that my problem was a change in the sound for some reason or another settings. In the hope that the previous owner might be able to give me some instructions on what changes have been made so that I could directly where to go and what kind of changes, I do, I failed in my attempt to get ANY useful information like that either, because he says he brought no change, so the sound should work. Although it is most certainly not!

    Low sound volume

    My speakers on my Dell Latitude D820 suddenly emit only a low sound. I adjusted all the volume controls in the menu sounds from the Control Panel, and there is no change in volume. It's real power radio on the internet and play music from a CD inserted into my machine. The sound icon does not appear in the toolbar.  I tried the fixit of automatic Wndows and it ran and said low volume has been set. Not the case.

  • Primary hard drive 0 not found Dell Latitude

    Hello

    I just bought 2 notebooks of Dell Latitude D800 with no operating system. The first laptop is fine, but the second, when I turn it on it shows the Dell screen with the loading bar. The loading bar is to halfway to the end when it freezes. The system freezes on this screen for about a minute, then it beeps twice and a black screen that says:

    "First hard drive 0 not found '.

    No bootable devices - don't strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility.

    So I go into the BIOS and see under "internal hard drive" and he says: 'no '. I checked and make sure the hard disk has been activated, and it is.

    I took the hard drive and reinstalled it. Nothing. The drive is a Toshiba 40 GB. In addition, mention, the reader makes a weird noise (not the click of death) and the hard drive on the laptop stays on all the time.

    Other D800 I mentioned boots very quickly and displays a no. OS screen, which is very good.

    So is my dead HDD?

    Thank you

    It is quite clear that the BIOS does not recognize the hard drive.  I suspect that the IDE controller on the motherboard has failed.

    Given that you have two cell phones similar to fool around with, probably the fastest way to isolate the problem is to swap hard drives.  Call the laptop that does not have one and one that works B

    If the laptop has now boots and cell B now is not, you know that the player who has been to A is bad.

    If A laptop computer still does not start and portable B boots again, then you know that the two disks are OK and the problem is the motherboard or the connector of the drive in the laptop.

  • Dell Latitude: Scan with Windows 10

    I have a HP Deskjet 3520.  in a moment of pure, pure madness, I've upgraded to Windows 10.  Now my printer won't scan to my computer in pdf format.

    If I try to scan to PDF it is right there with a message "connecting to a computer" which remains for about 5 minutes, then he told me "the computer does not respond.  Check that the USB cable is attached or wireless works correctly and try again."  Yep, check it out and try to print of tp.  Yes, so the computer is obvioisly talk to the printer, try scanning in format PDF - not just the same message.

    Previously, he fortunately scanned word copy paper in pdf documents but not now.  My computer is a Dell Latitude E5500, already served by Windows 7.  Now I don't know even how to find out what is my basic computer.  I don't know that Windows (Microsoft I guess) kept sending messages that my upgrade was ready and that if I install all my data and stuff would be ok.  Well, it's not ok.  I don't want to do something harmful - I just want to be able to scan documents to PDF, so I can send by e-mail.
