• Installation of card mSATA on Inspiron 15R special edition (7520)

  Hey

  I have the inspiron 15r is with 1 TB of HDD.

  I would like to add an mSATA card to my system to use the TSRI.

  It is possible now?

  I am skeptical because I've read online that the systems which were not delivered with 32 GB mSATA card, does not port mSATA for later installation.

  When I bought the system at that time dell had the option to add card 32 GB mSATA in the customization section, but now, dell has removed the section full customization from the Web site. And in the pre-configured templates, there is no option for card mSATA.

  Please remove this doubt and if possible to post pictures of the system and the daughter card where mSATA card can be installed.

  If you need more details about the configuration of my system, feel free to ask.

  Thanks in advance

  Hey everybody!

  All those who are willing to buy Dell Inspiron 15R edition special (7520) and want to update the system with card mSATA manually after the purchase, should know that there are two different configurations with which the system is sold. While on one of these configuration it is a mSATA port available on the (number N7JHH) daughter card in the system. While on the other configuration no mSATA port is available on the daughtercard (number MRDMM) present in the system.

  Most of the Dell representatives have no information on this subject and they are declaring openly that mSATA cards are compatible with 7520. Don't go by their words and ask specifically if the above mentioned daughter card is present in the system or not. Only a very few of them are stating "If the system was not ordered with card mSATA probably your card mother daughter won't mSATA slot", that too after days of investigation.

  If you hope to upgrade the system with card mSATA, then my advice to you would be to take a prudent decision before buying.

  See you soon!

  

• How to do a clean install of Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron 7520 (aka Inspiron 15R Special Edition)

  The operating system that are preloaded on my Dell Inspiron 7520 (a.ka. Inspiron 15R Special Edition) is Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a retail version of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate and want to do a clean install on my laptop.

  My laptop was able to boot from the retail disk.

  After clicking on 'Install now' and accepted the terms and conditions of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, I checked the configuration box "Custom (advanced option" in which a new copy of Windows would be installed. The next screen that displayed contained the following bizzare message: no hard drive found. "Click on load a driver to provide a driver for installing mass storage.

  Could someone tell me where and how to find the mass storage driver?

  I am also having exactly the same problem:

  After getting BSOD (indicating iaStor.sys) every 20 minutes or so I decided to format the laptop and install my copy of opportunity of Win7 Pro SP1. I jumped in the Win7 DVD and I saw that the couldn t of windows setup find any HARD drive to install to.

  I downloaded the drivers from Intel (f6flpy - x 64) and them burned on a CD. It took me a few tries (I kept getting error messages), but the computer finally accepted Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller drivers.

  Finally, I could see the readers. So I deleted the partition of 1 TB, created two new partitions (~ 100 GB and GB 890) and clicked on 'format' on two of them.

  But when I tried to select ONE of them as the destination for Windows drive, I received the following message:

  "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. Details: Windows cannot install to the selected location. "Error 0 x 80300001.

  So now when I turn on my laptop (since there is no operating system or anything), I get a black screen with the following message:

  Windows Boot Manager «»

  Windows could not start; A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

  blablabla (nothing really useful)

  Status: 0xc0000034

  Info: an unexpected error occurred. »

  Before I read this thread I also tried to change the SATA settings to AHCI and ATA, but both STILL produce ANOTHER problem: installing Windows recognises the hard drives, but it never rose from 0% of the phase of "expanding files" installation.

  Please, can anyone help?

• Installation of Ubuntu on Inspiron 15R special edition

I tried to disable SecureBoot in the BIOS and I restarted the computer. He has yet to start. Help would be greatly appreciated.

  Try again installing with Secure Boot disabled and make sure of two things:

  1. to select UEFI DVD in BIOS to start

  2. need for 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 (supports UEFI)

  Keep you the version of Windows that has been preloaded from the Dell factory or you install with Windows or erase Windows and replace it with Ubuntu?

• The battery life for inspiron 17r special edition or what to buy for College?

  I am looking to buy a high mid range laptop for College. I need a laptop that can handle games, in addition to other activities of the College. I've narrowed my search up to three computers different portable all pretty much the same price, and now I don't know that we choose. My three choices are the occasional 17r, the xps 15 Inspiron and alienware m14x.

  I'm leaning toward the inspiron because its cheaper than the other two and still a great internals. My only concern is the battery life. The battery is low, and I guess with the i7 and the screen 17 inch hd that the battery of the 17r will be terrible. I need something that's going to allow me to study on campus, if need is and be able to handle the TRIPS would be nice. So my question is... Are their any availble upgraded battery for editing special 17r? I saw a battery 9 cells, but it is not listed specifically as compatible with the Edition special 17r, just a 17r. If there is not, are their suggestions for greater autonomy on the road (without the usual stuff like processes of cutting and dimming of the screen).

  Also, on a related note, the inspiron 17r will be able to manage the game well? I don't need a power plant, but I want something that can handle new games for the next two years even if I have to lower the settings as the games become more intense.

  Hi dtruax,

  After sending two children to College, I went through this twice buying decision. The first thing I will say is that you're probably not going to carry your laptop on campus, almost as much as you think you will. And all equipped with gaps of a computer on campus, 17 "laptop will become quickly apparent. For the most part he'll be back at home. So the battery life is not as important as you might think.

  Regarding the size, two of my students, who initially leaned over to a 17 "machine, were much more happy with a smaller screen (14" for my son, 15 "for my daughter), compared to their classmates with computers laptops 17".

  The three models, the XPS is going to be the best for gaming. But I go back to the advice we have been given. Spend a little less on the laptop and a little more to get a 4 year complete care warranty. Many universities offer a 4 year warranty free and tech support if you buy through their Bookstore, which is what we did.

  Hello, I just bought a dell inspiron 17r special edition, with a NVIDIA geforce gt 650 m, but when I run the NVIDIA card Board, I am not able to use it with display of how can I put the NVIDIA card to work?

  It should be used by the application.  What you are trying to do (the nVidia chip by default) cannot be done - the GPU from Intel, by design, is always the default.

  Information on the cliff:

  GTX 960 - good without a new power supply

  GTX 970 - many debates on a PSU update if it is required or not. Just update.

  GTX 980 - fits in some cases cut and an upgrade of the PSU, but gets hot. consider a case upgrade.

  980ti GTX - even as the reason 980 and more for a new case that breathes better.

  I would avoid the high-end AMD cards in the case of stocks due to heat issues.

  And, you can easily sell your 750ti on eBay.

• Inspiron 15R SE 7520 video card problems

  Dear DELL,

  This is a story of love at first sight, a happy period of parade and then heartbreak. When shopping for a new laptop, I fell upon a jewel of one. display 1080 p MATTE? Check. Zippy image Ivy Bridge CPU? Check. Clean, dedicated GPU? Check. Large amounts of RAM? Check. HARD drive tough? Check. FOUR USB 3.0 ports? Check. Optical disc (call me old-fashioned)? Check. Decent price tag? Check (after rebate online). Didn't hesitantly does not, I immediately bought an Inspiron 7520 home in July of 2012. At first, everything was a lot. I had a wonderful relationship with my laptop. The AMD Radeon HD M 7730 run latest games on medium to high heat, as long as I was not too hard with the resolution. Ultra high heat were out of the question, but I was fine with that. Of course, if DELL had to procure a 7750M or a 7770M, things would have been even more pink. Ah, good times!

  As they say, all good things have an end. This relationship that bordered on perfection did not last long. In October of the same year, a tragedy struck. My baby was delivered with Win7 Home Premium 64-bit, but since I am eligible for the purchase of Win8 at a subsidized price, I went for him just after launched Win8. Initially, I had been suspicious of the upgrade because I was afraid that there would be problems of compatibility with my existing games (I have a large library of titles of steam). However, after researching this issue, I discovered that there was not much to fear. WIN8 seemed to be just as good for gaming under Win7 (or even better). So I made the leap.

  And here! Immediately after the installation of Win8, it became clear that DELL had not fully prepared for the influx of new users of Win8 7520. From the beginning, my AMD video card stopped working. Needless to say, it was obviously a driver problem. I'm a patient person. That's why I decided to wait for DELL or AMD released a newer version of pilots 7730M. Because, you know, builders/OEMs need time to do their stuff. And I understood that. Take a few weeks, heck, take a couple of months. So, I want a fully functional GPU again so that I can play games Beyond 800 x 600 on low heat. Now, when I try to open the Catalyst Control Center, it just gives me this error: " " "Catalyst Control Centre cannot be started. Currently, there are no settings that can be configured with the Catalyst Control Center'. Tick, tock, tick tock... Fast forward to today, March 5, 2013, and it's been about half a year what Win8 was created.

  Here's a question, DELL - WHERE ON EARTH ARE THE LATEST DRIVERS for the AMD RADEON HD 7730 M?

  Before any tech support agent gives me an official response asking me to troubleshoot/diagnosis/attempt to repair my system, I'll save you the trouble: don't. Here is a (non exhaustive) list of the steps I have taken in the past half a year to troubleshoot/diagnosis/attempt to repair my system:

  -I went through the whole process "devmgmt.msc".

  -J' I updated my version of .NET for the last.

  -J' downloaded and installed ALL the latest drivers for BIOS, GPU, WLAN, USB 3.0, memory card reader, and even, you name it. Yes, not even the latest GPU drivers on your work site. The 7730M does everything just quite Win8. This means that the two latest drivers are not later, or that you have published a very sloppy update that probably made things worse rather than improve it.

  -J' checked multiple for a line (beginning with DELL) for corrections.

  -J' visited the site Web of AMD and unacceptable, specific Win8 for 7730M drivers have not been released yet. Worse yet, it seems that they have not committed to a schedule for updating their drivers!

  -J' tried to install different versions of drivers of M 7730, none has made a difference.

  -I probably did some other things but I do not remember anything else right now.

  Look, it's very simple, DELL. On behalf of all THOSE who have purchased the 7520 from you (and I know that he is a popular model), we are sick and tired of waiting for an update of the simple driver! If AMD can not get their shit right, move them, push, force to! You have a business relationship with them, but you also have a relationship with us, your customers. If you indeed treat us like your valuable customers, so please, please, please, please, please, just publish this update of elusive driver that reactivates the GPU in our 7520, if running on Win7 or Win8. It is a shame for me; In fact, I took the time to type this essay just to release all my pent-up frustration.

  Finally, I got it with not be able to enjoy something that I legitimately own the way I want. If you don't sort this issue as soon as possible, I give you my word, I don't have to buy another DELL again. Do not respond to this letter by means of a useless official response you give to each complainant unique, I like to take concrete measures. Also, I don't want to go down to Win7 I like Win8, so this isn't an option as well. This issue has climbed out of control - simply by looking at the number of threads complaining about this same exact thing makes me want to pull out my hair. Once more, on behalf of all Inspiron 15R SE 7520 owners, I beg DELL and/or AMD to lead to a permanent solution to this problem quickly. Pretty please?

  Yours sincerely,

  An extremely agitated owner Inspiron 7520

  I've been using a n5010 with a core i3 370 m and 4650 m since 2.5 years even if there is an increase in acceptable performance for me: p I know I shouldn't expect to play on the set high in the good fps but it will do the job for me. And Yes, I couldve built much better desktop at the same price, but I'll take it to College for CAD, so there need to be a portable system. Instead, think wait you two months or more for computers laptops haswell will be worh it?

  • The two processors are of the family of Ivy Bridge (HM77 Express Chipset) not = no compatibility issues
  • Because your laptop has 2 ram slots, you are forced using 2 x 4 GB RAM modules
  • It is a standard common purchase 2 modules brand same (avoiding the questions)
  • Currently, you have a Micron ram module
  • So, you can try to find the same ram module
  • Or, the purchase of 2 other identical pairs.
  • Local shops can help you to directly appoint your brand of portable & model
  • Otherwise, you can visit an online store selling RAM modules.
  • Most of these stores got a wizard online tool to help you buy the right ram module.
  • Good luck!

• Inspiron 15r SE 7520 MaxxAudio 4 problem

  Hello

  My problem is that my Equalizer will take no effect after the last update of victory 10 birthday, I tried to reinstall the driver and app. All settings under speakers/headphones used effect on the sound.

  Hello. Dell provides 2 audio drivers Conexant for Win10, for the Inspiron 15R SE 7520.  Try them both and see if we have the function you want to use.

  Version 1.0.52.0 - October 4, 2013

  and

  Version 8.54.40.50 - 3 February 2016

  If you currently have the new driver, you must completely remove it before installing the old.

  1. open Device Manager (found in the Control Panel, or type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
  2. expand the section 'Sound, video & game controllers.
  3. right-click the Conexant High Definition audio driver.
  4. click on "Uninstall".
  5. put a check mark in the option to remove the software driver, click ok.
  6. restart the laptop. Because you deleted the Conexant driver files, Windows will install its native audio driver, named "High definition Audio Device".

  Go back to Device Manager and make sure that "High definition Audio Device" is installed. When this is the case, you can install the old driver Conexant. However, depending on the version of Win10 you have, it can automatically up-to-date for the new driver.

• Computer laptop screen flickering and horizontal lines in Inspiron 15r SE 7520

  I have a laptop Dell inspiron 15r is who is 1.1years old (model - 7520). It worked well up to that of a few days. Last week, he began giving a horizontal line of white point at the top of the screen (like that... in white) for the entire width of the screen. Since yesterday, or a similar line began to appear at the bottom too. Two of these online come and go every 2-3 sec. And the screen will jump a little (like 5 pixels or larger) and it will also sometimes shake which makes it difficult to read letters.

  The problem exists everywhere, even in the start screen. In short, when I press power button / stop and screen start showing something problem also begins.

  Today, I plugged an external lcd display via a vga cable and it works fine. No line and no flickering. So I guess that the GPU is ok? What could be the problem? Would be - this contact that loose or something cable laptop computer screen?

  Another question: I got the security, including the protection against accidental damage and stuff for a year. But since I was outside this period, now, what do I do?

  And since I am outside the warranty period anyway is it OK if I open my laptop and try something?

  Help, please!

  If you have found the solution please share with me.
