• (Redirected) Dell Vostro 1510 does not restart after the replacement motherboard (CPU the question!)

  Dear,

  I have a problem with my laptop (dell vostro 1510). For the second time my screen went completely black. I couldn't see anything, but the computer was not working. I assumed it was for the same reason as the first time (burnt video card). I have replace it with it and when I try to start the laptop I just get three led among that flashes on the left. It is not go further and I don't have access to the bios. The diagnostic led codes say it is a problem with the processor. How can I test if the processor work? For me, it's weird with the old motherboard, it began. I also tried to reset the CPU on a different time slot. I don't know what to try anymore.

  If you have any suggestions please let me know

  Have a nice day

• Error code: Trying 80072F8F update windows after fresh install - Dell Vostro 1510 - (Windows 7 x 64 PRO)

  Hello, I'm trying to update windows after installation and I get error code 80072F8F.  After looking for other pages, I checked my BIOS date and time are correct and Windows as well.

  Laptop: Dell VOSTRO 1510
  Windows 7 x 64 PRO

  I already activated Windows (silly me to check everything actually works) and I need a solution as soon as POSSIBLE.

  I needed Windows update to try and fix a number display adapter (card intel not giving not external display resolutions)- but that's another question.

  I hope that there is a fix out there somewhere in the ether.

  No anti-virus installed at the present time, no anti-spyware, no firewall.

  Repost: What were the problems you are experiencing that you thought that a "new facility" could solve?

  The foregoing notwithstanding, and since you neglected to install an antivirus application...

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as

• Monitor Dell Vostro 2705 keeps going into power saving mode

  I have a Dell Vostro 2705. When I turn it on, the screen goes into power saving mode. We tried with a different monitor and it still does not work. I do not see there is a separate video card to replace it. Can it be fixed or is - a new computer?

  Thanks in advance for your advice.

  Hello

  Its usually a faulty motherboard. So the only option is to get the Board replaced.

  You can try doing a power cycle and if still doesn't work then a replacement of the Board of Directors.

• Dell Vostro 1510 Audio has stopped working after the update of Windows Vista.

  Nice day!

  My computer (vostro 1510) began to revolt recently and I wonder if you could help me with this.

  Basically, last week I was talking to my friend on Skype when suddenly my computer restarted due to the update of Windows (I have Windows Vista Business 32-bit). After he turned his back, I realized that there is no audio from the speakers. I tried using headphones but still - no sound.

  Immediately, I went to the 'Sounds' menu and checked if my speakers were still 'active '. They have been.
  Next thing I decided to do was to reinstall the Realtek audio driver, however, did not help or the other. Since then, I tried to reinstall several times but, unfortunately, everything remained the same.

  Then, I thought that maybe something was wrong with my hardware, however, audio spent ALL Dell diagnostics audio tests (so my hardware is very good, yes?). I also tried "System Restore" option and returned to the point before the update... Nothing has changed!

  In addition, as far as I know, all the audio settings in Windows (checked in Registry Editor) are OK.

  What should I do now? My last hope is to completely reinstall the system, however, I decided to contact you first.

  Thanks in advance!

  Solved the problem by reinstalling the operating system.

  Thank you!

• Do not get audio 5.1 of Dell Vostro 1510

  Hello

  I recently bought a Creative (Sound Blaster Live 24 bit external) external sound card for my Vostro 1510. I also bought a 5.1 nexw system Creatibve (SBS, A500).

  Since I have windows Vista installed on my laptop, I couldn't be able to get the 5.1 output. But now, I searched the external driver 24 bit for Vista and installed.

  The device works very well with the vista driver. but I'm not able to appreciate the sound 5.1 full. only 2 satellites and the subwoofer is to get the sound. another satellite 3 will not get sound. That is to say. I can hear only the front left and front right with the effect of the woofer. Back left, back right sattellites and centre do not get the sound.

  Is this a problem with vista driver or the sound card itself.

  Can someone please help?
