Inspiron 17R Edition special memory

The laptop can handle 2 8 GB DIMMS for a total of 16 instead of the way it is sold with 8. The laptop would be viable, but the memory it holds.

Hello

Welcome to the community.

Well, Dell does not recommend the 2 sticks of 8 GB of RAM installed in the system that could cause a motherboard failure. However to install 8 GB 1600 MHZ chips may or may not work.

Let me know if there are other concerns. Glad to be of assistance.

Thank you & best regards

  • How to connect 5.1 speakers to Inspiron 15R edition special (7520)

    I bought the computer dell laptop Inspiron 15R special edition (model 7520) two months back.

    I am facing problem with 5.1 speakers with my laptop system.

    As System 5.1 have 3 shots, and my laptop has only 2 (1 for headphones) and the other for a microphone, there seems to be problem to connect all speakers (front and rear pairs). How can I connect 5.1 speakers to my laptop system?

    Is it possible somehow?

    I read in some forum, I have to buy an external sound card only, I will be able to get a 5.1.

    Answer please, if anyone has faced the same problem and solved.

  • Special Edition of Dell inspiron 17r

    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.

  • 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.

  • Inspiron 17R SE (7720) upgrade screen resolution?

    Hello
    I have a 'special edition of the Inspiron 17R"(serial number: DCC2DT1) and I used it for about 2 and a half years.
    Not once in that time has stopped working, I'm very happy with it and I would update some components and I hope to continue to use it for a few years.

    I am looking to change/update the screen 1600 x 900 on a Full HD 1920 x 1080 display.
    My main question here is, if this is possible and will not be a problem, and if I could use first put the other components of the laptop?

    I would also like to upgrade the HDD for an SSD and a day later the Intel i7 Intel i5 processor. Is this what I need to know before I Exchange/upgrade components?

    Thanks for reading.

    To upgrade the display panel, you must also replace the harness of the display - one that comes with the lower panel of the resolution will not work with the FHD display.

    SSD upgrade will not be a problem

    Updates are possible with this model (it is the last of Intel Mobile processors, which is sold in the form of half-bridge, removable) - you will need an Ivy Bridge CPU.  Also check your power adapter - 90 w does not have an i7.  You need a minimum of 130 W power adapter to run an i7 CPU.

  • How to open my card reader to insert the card multimedia on my new laptop inspiron 17r

    I have a small door on the front of my laptop (Inspiron 17r). I feel stupid, but how to open to insert my camera media card?

    If this is the same as that on my new Dell Vostro and it looks like a slot in plastic, you just press the plastic slot and release. A dummy plastic card can then be eliminated completely to allow you to put real in memory card.

    This is not the best design in the world - its won't be long before I lose the fake plastic card.

  • How do I clone the mSATA drive in my Inspiron 17R 7720?

    I have two almost identical Inspiron 17R laptop 7720; one that I bought new from Dell 4 years and one that I bought used a couple of weeks. Both have identical hardware with the following exceptions: my original has a Core i7 processor and a 32 GB mSATA drive, while the new has a Core i5 processor and no mSATA drive. Hard drives, video, memory, etc. are all the same on both computers.

    I bought a car identical mSATA for the new computer and try to clone the mSATA and the old computer's HARD drive, so I have two identical computers. I tried cloning of disks using Macrium Reflect. Cloned HARD drive successfully, but reflects only concludes a 8 GB partition not formatted on the old disk mSATA, not all 32GB. I cloned the new drive mSATA and tried in my old computer it correctly identified the drive but it was not valid, said RAID 0 volume and asked me to change my drive to non-RAID configuration.

    Any thoughts on how I can clone the old mSATA disc correctly to the new?

    You can't clone this player.  What you need to do is set up the Intel IRST again.

  • nVidia Geforce GT 650 M NOT DETECTED on Inspiron 17R SE 7720 after update BIOS A11

    Hello world

    A week ago I did some updates on my Inspiron 17R SE 7720 including Bios Update to the version of the A11. Unfortunately, after this update I realized that the nVidia Geforce GT 650 M graphics card had disappeared from my system.

    I read other posts and people who have experienced this problem suggested the re-installation of the bios would solve the problem, but in my case, it didn't.

    Also, I installed the new version BIOS A12 and A13 versions but non of these have solved this problem.

    Also reinstalled windows do not either fix as suggested by others in other posts.

    I also ran the diagnostics on the computer from the bios and card does not appear there either, like the nVidia Geforce GT 650 M graphics card has not been installed on the system.

    Finally I run a version of Ubuntu on my Inspiron 17R SE 7720 and run a system check and or the card is detected, just the Intel HD Graphics 4000 is detected under windows or linux.

    Please someone Dell help us solve this problem, because it certainly is a BIOS PROBLEM.

    If you're among the unlucky ones like me this saw has disappeared from the map of nVidia Geforce GT 650 M graphics card in your system, please share your experience with me.

    Thanks for your replies.

  • WiDi on Inspiron 17R SE

    I see there are several messages about WiDi, but I think the General view is that it should work on the system I bought (Inspiron 17R SE).

    Unfortunately, it does not work on mine.

    When you install the driver recommended WiDi, Setup fails with t he message "platform is not compatible with Intel WiDi or the application is in use.

    I've deleted and reinstalled to be sure, but the same problem.

    I also tried to install the driver of Windows 7, but trying to run that it fails when you try to load a .dll file.

    I think I have all the latest drivers.

    Suggestions please as to how to get this to work - it is a requirement for me.

    Thank you.

    After spending many hours miserable installing and uninstalling software and drivers, I am pleased to announce that WiDi is alive and well on my system.

    The information provided on the site Web Intel eventually led me to a successful installation.

    There were three special pages which has proved to be invaluable and can help others with a similar problem.

  • Dell Inspiron 17R will not start

    Hey,.

    My Dell Inspiron 17R laptop 5720 was working fine until today, she won't start now. I had a virus, but Avira seemed to clean it properly, so I thought everything is ok now, but after restarting my laptop I didn't even have the "Dell" screen more. I've been Googling this topic for hours, but no one seems to have this kind of problem. Most of the users get stuck after the POST screen, but I don't yet get there. I just press the power button and that's it - laptop starts, but doesn't show anything. 1 out of 10 times, I managed to start and it works perfectly, even restart Windows it works then, but once disable us it probably will start again for the next 7-8 attempts.

    Things I've tried:

    -Remove the battery, hold the power button / stop for 60 seconds

    -In the course of running Dell Diagnostics (regular and thorough mode) test - it detects no error

    -Commissioning with or without battery

    -Flashing of BIOS (A14)

    -Reinstalling Windows, even tried Linux

    -Remove the strips of memory, trying to start with one stick (I had 2 x 4 GB) - will not change anything

    It looks like a problem that does occur from time to time. It is a hardware or a software problem? Is there anything else I should try before sending it for repair?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi randomthings,

    I appreciate for all stages of misjudged shootings.

    I recommend you to disconnect all external devices. Turn on the system and check if there are codes of beeps at startup.

    Given that the system turns after several attempts, it may be due to poor nutrition or inadequate food, bad drive HARD or other hardware problem.

    A poor, distressed or inadequate diet is often the cause of this problem. If the hard disk does not have enough power during the first time the computer starts, it will not be able to spin the platters of hard drive fast enough to start the computer. However, if you restart the computer, two, three, or four times, because the platters spin already, he is able to get the drive to speed and able to boot from the disc. Try with an AC adapter / CC known good and control; If the problem continues, I suspect it is a HDD failure.

    Please, remove the HARD drive and turn on the system and check the status.

    Please find the manual for Inspiron 5720 in the following link:

  • Subwoofer on Inspiron 17r 7720 IS not working is not in win10

    I installed windows on my Dell Inspiron 17r SE 7720 10, but now the sound is very flat, volume is soft and the subwoofer stopped working. I looked on the Dell site, but there don't seem to be audio drivers available for this notebook for windows 10 reference drivers. Realtek also do not resolve the problem.

    Is there a solution for this?

    Hello. Has anyone tried installing the audio driver? There is no audio driver for the Inspiron 17R SE 7720 Win10, then you will need to use the audio driver IDT for Win8.1 and install it using compatibility mode.

    1. download and save the driver to your desktop.
    2. double-click the new icon on the desktop to extract (unzip) the files of the driver.
    3. the wizard of the extractor will create a new folder for the driver files. It will be located at the "c:\dell\drivers\xxxxxx". Note the exact location that the wizard creates.
    4. If the driver begins to install automatically, stop (cancel) installation.
    5. search for the driver files on the hard drive (the location you noted).
    6. find the file "setup.exe".
    7. right click on setup.exe to open the context menu.
    8. Select Properties.
    9. Select the Compatibility tab.
    10. check the box "run this program in compatibility mode for"... WIN8.1.

    If installing the driver IDT does not work then I suggest you return the laptop in the operating system in which the audio worked properly, unless there is a compelling reason to have the Win10 operating system. Dell does not have to put any new audio drivers for the Inspiron 17R SE 7720 and Win10 audio management in the notebook models where the audio is not supported is hardly encouraging.

  • 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.

  • Inspiron 17R 7720 mSATA question

    My Inspiron 17R 7720 has an mSATA SSD 32 GB. I thought, apparently incorrectly, that this disc was a startup disk that contains the operating system and has been used to provide a faster start of the OS. In response to another thread I posted an answering machine said my mSATA drive was a cache and did not contain any programs. Does that mean that there is no data stored permanently on the drive from mSATA? When the system is turned off, all data on the mSATA is lost? If so, what is the purpose of bigger disks mSATA? I see them more than 128 GB, a disc more capacious mSATA, how that my 32 GB disk does not want?

    32G disc puts cached the main reader - there IS data stored on it and more frequently data are accessible, more it is stored on the disk of 32G.  It is a COPY of the data from the hard drive, though - this is NOT a RAID 0 array.

    An mSATA cache (or a hybrid disc) will speed up playback from the HDD a little, but it is a pale imitation of the performance you get when you actually install and run the operating system completely of a native SSD.  This will improve the overall combined system vs. running a caching, hybrid or a conventional hard drive.

  • Inspiron 17R cannot install windows on the new drive

    I have an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 with a dead 1 t HARD and the 32 GB SSD drive. The hard drive is a loss total and out of warranty, so I have to install Windows on a new hard drive.

    I don't have a recovery disk so I install Windows 8.1 since an original DVD I ordered from Microsoft, some time ago.

    My problem is that the laptop is not considered to be able to boot from the DVD. I get a message "No operation system Found."

    I changed the startup list in the BIOS to first have the DVD. I tried f12 to choose the DVD to start but nothing works. I checked the disc in another computer and it's good.

    I read something on the problems causing mSATA SSD and also on the Intel Rapid Storage is a problem.

    Please help if you can, I need the laptop for school.

    (Or fact) the DVD Player reads all other discs?
