Laptop Dell Inspiron 3521

My hard drive failed with the error code 2000:0142 and validation code 99930. When I plugged these numbers into the matrix to Dell.com/support it says that the hard drive had a hard failure and had to be replaced. I ordered and received a new hard drive from Dell. I called 1-877-407-4513 to help by following the instructions on the packing slip. I was transferred six times after waiting on hold for several minutes, several times. When I was transferred for the sixth time, I was assured that he was the person who could help me. I gave this person the same information that I gave all the others and she tried to tell me that I was not the owner of the computer. I bought this laptop at WalMart in 2013. I have more phone number under which the computer has been saved because it was a landline we disconnected. After getting this property recovered, I have was again put on hold for several minutes, several times. When she finally returned to the phone and I told him that I needed to help start the system and Windows 10 installation on the new hard drive, I had bought and received from Dell. She mumbled something incomprehensible, as she had a thick accent of the India and was very difficult to understand. When asked if she would repeat it please, she hung up on me. If she had been a call dropped, she had my callback number and would have had to call me right back, but I don't got no call. I think I'll go the way so many of my friends are gone and never buy a Dell computer. I want to service here in America, provided by the Americans, which I can understand English.

I got the Dell startup disk and followed all the steps and I am happy to say that the Dell Inspiron 3521 is in place, and works with Windows 8, the BONE that was on it when I bought it at Walmart. I've updated it to 8.2, and then to 10 Windows before the breaking of the HD. My wife just goes to use it to keep its kitchen inventory and catalog as to where are the elements.

  • Do not allow for stereo mix in windows 7 on laptop Dell Inspiron 3521

    Hello

    I want to activate 'stereo mix' in windows 7 Home premium on my laptop Dell Inspiron 3521, 'sound' in the criminal, and then open control record tab, right-click in the window, I opened, it shows no "stereo mix" in devices either active or disabled, I have the latest audio drivers from the Dell website. Help, please

    Thanks in advance

    Make sure that the Realtek driver is installed. If it is you will then see the words "Realtel HD ' on your recording & reading tabs.

    If no luck with the latest Realtek, then try the older version. If still no luck then go to the Realtek site and get a "High definition" driver from there.

  • Problem with DELL Inspiron 3521 audio!

    Hello

    I bought this laptop DELL Inspiron 3521 sometimes back and I am facing a problem with the audio. I had the experience that I use only. Audio keeps switching from left to right and sometimes works only on one side. Initially, I thought that it was a problem with my headphones but I tried with several headphones and still I have experienced the same problem. But the speakers of the laptop works very well. Could this be a problem with the audio port? Can someone help me on this.

    Thank you

    Could this be a problem with the audio port?

    Hello, Daniel. How to determine who must pass the native Windows audio driver Realtek audio driver. If you don't have the driver from Realtek, you can get it from the Inspiron 3521 support page.

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the box of Windows search).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    If the headphone does not work correctly when you use the Realtek or driver audio native then it's a hardware problem.

    If it works fine with the native driver but not the Realtek driver, then the Realtek driver is buggy. In this case let me know which operating system your laptop and I'll see if there is a Realtek driver different, that you can use.

  • Dell Inspiron 3521 problem concerning "audiodg.exe.

    Sometimes I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 3521 with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit with a Realtek HD audio driver. The problem is that whenever I run a Flash-supported page on my Firefox browser, audiodg.exe (and it is a real process of Windows Audio) consume a very large amount of physical memory on my computer up to 997 MB, establishing the audio matrix until I close the browser. Then when I open the browser again, the problem starts again.

    I tried to solve the problem using the method of "improvements", but it failed for some reason as evidenced by the photo:

    There is no option tick 'disable all improvements' in there, and all the improvements are unchecked. All they have is the tick "immediate mode".

    I have also all my updates installed on my laptop, but the problem persists.

    Is it possible to fix this so that the problem of the use of the high memory caused by 'audiodg.exe' will be gone for good?

    Hello. It's the first time I saw a screen shot of improvements to properties of speaker who had not "disable all improvements. My laptop has also 7 64-bit but with IDT and it has. Maybe if you switch from the native Windows driver Realtek driver will answer box "disable all".

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.

    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    If you use the latest Realtek driver (6.0.1.6788), you might want to try the old Realtek 6.0.1.6690. The former driver installation requires to remove the most recent in Device Manager and choose the delete files option.

  • Dell inspiron 3521 (i5), how to configure Radeon video card laptop use as main graphics card?

    Hello guys.

    IM using Dell inspiron 3521 (version i5 to 1.7 ghz, Radeon HD 7670 M / Intel HD Graphics 4000, 6 GB of ram)

    I don't want to use the Intel HD video card at all, because the quality of the texture is so low. I would like to know, how to set up the main video card?

    Its possible?

    Thank you

    The 'main' video chip is the Intel one - it's the only one who has a connection to your display board.  The AMD GPU is a co-processor - it can be used (chosen from the AMD Catalyst Control Panel) for the applications you want to use it.

    It CAN be made the default GPU - GPU from Intel's wired for this role.  By design, all of the video data through the Intel GPU (which is part of the central unit of system processing).

  • Driver for 2 GB AMD Radeon HD M 8730 does not work. Dell Inspiron 3521

    my laptop is brand new. 1 week and I cannot get my Radeon 8730 M graphic card work. laptop model is Dell Inspiron 3521.   I tried to install the original driver from the dell support page. I tried with the pilots of the AMDs website. I have installed and uninstalled the drivers at least 10 times.   When I run the catalist of amd installation configuration shows that all the drivers and the software is correctly installed and up-to-date, but Device Manager shows something else.  also, I have absolutely no option available in the catalyst software.  my windows system note (index) is 1.0 due to the graphic performance.   any ideas?

    return with good news.

    I formatted the partition on the witch my windows was installed. re-installed windows and all the drivers. I started with the AMD driver but I was disappointed. It still did not work. then I thought, maybe there some co-drivers with some chipset drivers, so I downloaded and installed all the drivers. including the Intel HD 4000 driver. I think it was one that has not been installed correctly and the Radeon card because of the witch did not work.   so if anyone else has this problem, don't forget to uninstall the driver amd and intel driver hd 4000 and then install again, it should solve the problem.

    Thanks for the help.

  • My laptop Dell Inspiron 5100 has started incompatible.

    My laptop Dell Inspiron 5100 has started an on again off again behavior.  If I stopped and try to restart it (by switch or auto reboot), it does not restart.  I get a metal "beep" of the machine.   If I'm persistent and try several times with the button, it can restart, but not always.  I thought it might be the start / stop switch had become sensitive to heat or was dying, but even when it is completely cold, not connected to an external power supply and since 3 + hours, it will still manifest this strangeness.  Any suggestions?   I am running Windows XP Pro and McAfee on this system.  I realize that it is an older machine, but I really like XP, and want to continue to use this set up if possible.

  • Good question about windows 8 dell inspiron 3521 with graphics card intel delay right click.

    Greetings,

    I have an operating system running windows 8 pro on dell inspiron 3521. When I bought the camera, the problem was not visible up to 1 year, and then I installed "Tuneup utilities" for a scan and then uninstalled. Since then, I found annoying problem on my pc.

    Relatek HD audio was working fine but then it started showing good results, but the sound from the speaker is not and or if plugged headphones as well. PC not dettect not any problem on the sound while troubleshooting. The sign of the speaker on the status bar when clicked and increases the volume of it increases the volume, but the sound and color do not here as well.
    It does a strange thing when I trouble shoot using the sound properties and click 'TEST' test is fine, but I can't hear any sound good! and again when I click TEST on speaker, it says "this device is used by another application. Please close... "
    However, the sound works fine without any problems for a while when I trouble shoot with 'Find and fix with device' or I restart the pc. But after a while this problem automatically. with this desktop right click question also annoyed me for the compliment can be! :( Help

    TuneUp utilities and similar programs usually don't serve to ruin a Windows Installer do it do more damage than good. Stories like yours are not uncommon with these programs. Back up all your data on an external hard drive. If you did a restore USB with your system can boot from to restore factory settings. If you have not done one, try using backup and restore Dell to make one. TuneUp utilities may have ruined the Dell backup feature and the recovery and partition recovery so I advise to call Dell technical support and request a DVD of resettlement or recovery USB just in case. I prefer the DVD because it can be copied to a USB key and has no preloaded software, allowing a cleaner installation. You can then try to restore the factory settings and if something goes wrong with the restoration use Dell support to clean install.

  • laptop (Dell Inspiron) with Windows 7 Home Premium is now slow to most of the activities - loading of the pages in the browser, etc.

    I heard that after a few years of use, Windows-based computers lose their ability to function. This happened to me before and I bought a new laptop. Now, I think that it happens again. The laptop (Dell Inspiron) with Windows 7 Home Premium is now slow to most of the activities - loading of the pages in the browser, etc... He is also declining my VPN connection occasionally, but also my direct connection is very slow. Latency shows speedtest software provided by the ISP in addition of 250 ms, download speed of 1 MB/s (compared with 8 planned) and 0.05Mbps download. The ISP has corrected this once, but I'm wondering now if it is the computer which is slow rather than on the network because my laptop works well on the same network/router. Is there one solution to this other than another new laptop?

    Jonathan,

    You say that your computer is slow, but all of the examples you give are rather than slow computer operations slow network communications.  To avoid any unnecessary work, check how fast the computer is on the tasks that don't use any network.

    If it works fine for tasks not network then you can concentrate on the problems of network as being the only concern.

    It has also become very slow for no network tasks you should study other causes.  Just as an example: If, like me, you sleep / turn off the computer when you are not using it then defrag will never work, so you can run it manually to make sure that doesn't cause problems.   Describe your symptoms in this thread so that someone can advise on the best course of action.

    In the unlikely case where you must run Dell Factory Image Restore, then the instructions are in your manual PC *.  Before doing this, run Dell Datasafe Local Backup then click on Backup, recovery to create - media allows you to create a bootable USB of the partition that you can use the normal procedure that failing Dell Factory Image Restore [to do this, even if you have already solved your problems so that you could face if the hard drive has failed never completely].

    Hello

    I desperately need HELP! I formatted my laptop Dell Inspiron N5110 and reinstall a copy of windows 7 after noticing several virus on my pc. But I doesn't not delete or format the Partition recovery. The recovery partition is intact. I now have to recover my pc to the factory of origin of windows settings , but I don't know if it's possible and how. I didn't know I could just use the Dell Datasafe from the beginning before formatting my pc (stupid I am). I handed a letter to the recovery partition (f) and know I can see all the files included in it. After searching for a while, some people suggesting to run the cmd following under 'Tools' dir (ED I can't find):

    Hello

    Don't need you to worry, by making use of the formatted partition recovery software you can easily recover files after formatting the hard disk partition. Few days back, I spent the same similar problem where in lost some important files due to the installation of the OS. Then I tried this recovery software which really helped me to recover files after the installation of the operating system. So, you can download this software by following the below mentioned links.
