Vostro 3550 graphics issues on Windows 8

• Why is upgrade Windows 10 - not Dell Vostro 3550 on the list of Dell?

  I found this list on the Dell site that tells you if they tested a particular model for its ability to be upgraded to Windows 10.   The Dell Vostro 3550 is not on the list of 20 Vostro models, some wearing low model numbers, some superiors.   They will never test it?

  If you try to upgrade, windows 10 copies files and then in the 2nd of three main sections of the upgrade (where you have this big circle in the middle of the screen), it just goes to a blank screen and then ceases all activity of the disc, and it becomes well hung.   Of course, now the machine think operating system is win 10 and you cannot return to a recovery point 7 win.  If you lost all of your data and applications and restore the image and then install the windows 7 208 updates and it takes like 8 hours total.

  Looks like a similar problem that people with Vostro ranging from win 7 to win 8.   Why not fix it.

  Also, I fell into the same rabbit hole. But I realized quickly that it was a video problem and I hung on an alternative to the unit's LCD monitor... worked just fine, there has been able to do the update of bio and play with the drivers.

  I hope that people who have this problem in the future, you read this before you follow Ricky RockStars because he has mental health problems. After having seen his reply here and then others and it is how wildly incorrect, I did some research. I saw one of his messages on a forum from another site where he calls himself, "master of puppets" and he said he finds his answers on google. Dell isn't the only place to take responses at random to see if a stick, said. Apparently, he did that on ' yah * answers "and others, also. It is not a true expert, and instead of saying that he doesn't know, he barks just the random directions to try to solve problems or problems which can still be fixed, as it did here. He loves the power of the people who listen to him. He really has no idea what she's doing. He just googles your problem and tells you what it finds, as if he knew. The problem with is that if you have already done this, he will find the same wrong information makes you or even worse information as he did here. I saw a lot of his answers and about half are correct, 1/3 are wrong and just wasting peoples time, and the other 1/6 are harmful. Look at what happened here. He should have just said what I say below, but instead of that he had a back and forth for days because he loves control.  Seriously, I don't understand how Dell allows this to happen. It is everywhere in their forums, which gives bad advice, and using people as the 'puppets' in his weird game to control the actions of others.

  Here's the real answer:

  Dell Vostro 3550 does not support WiFi 5 Ghz network connections. There is nothing you can do to address this problem in addition to changing the hardware (go out and buy a 5 GHz USB adapter).

• R400/T400/T500/W500: Switchable graphics issues with Win 7

  Based on the experiences of the wire on switchable Vista graphics driver issues, I here starts a new switchable graphics related to Windows 7 (any SKU) records. Please keep the Center wire and clean up your language. IE: problems related to the XP or Vista are not the subject here.

  I made the switch to Win 7 64 and so far, it is an improvement in the "switchable graphics" - zone. But I have seen some issues:

  • Energy consumption is much higher than under Vista 32. It seems related to a problem in the management of the switching power of graphics adapters: see the thread by roteiro.
  • On my external display of Dell, I sometimes watch "pixel noise". In certain areas of the screen pixels flickering in different colors.
  • Could be related: hang after the release of the standby mode

• Vostro 3550 restarts automatically (loop) every 3 seconds

  Dell support,

  I have a problem with a laptop Vostro 3550.

  When I turn on the laptop, it just is not started at all but it auto resarts at the same time, every 3 seconds, the screen is black.  The food, fan button, 3 buttons and also the front power indicator will flash during this period. Its the same thing happens when it's on battery and when the power cable is connected.

  I did it while waiting for the following tests:

  1. remove the battery and the power cable and press the power button for 1 min and try to turn on.

  2 remove the battery cmos for 10 min and make the procedure #1

  3. remove the memories RAM one by one and do the #1 procedure.

  4. measure the voltage on the connector of the power adapter (it was 19.3v)

  5. measure the voltage on the power circuit inside the laptop for any potential problems with the laptop on board power connector and it was ok.

  6. I checked all disconnected Ribbon or the cable, but everything was fine.

  Everyone has ideas, what is the problem or what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

• HDD problem Dell Vostro 3550

  I use a Dell Vostro 3550 running Windows 7 64 bit since may, 2012.

  Recently, on running the Dell Diagnostics, it shows that the hard [Samsung HM500JJ] has no 'targeted reading Test ". More recently, when I run scan on the hard, the system stops and restarts.

  I ran diagnostics from the ePSA which also shows an error code "'2000-0146 [Msg: hard drive 0 - S/N S2APJ1KB704677, self-test log contains previous errors]."

  This means certainly I need to replace my hard drive or I say otherwise?

  I even ran the QuickTest online, but this time too the system crashed. I'm afraid that something is seriously wrong with the hard drive.

  Y at - it another option to replace the hard drive?

  My warranty expired last December.

  Hi Shireeshmehta,

  Yes, you certainly need to replace the hard drive. If you do not receive a reinstallation of Windows 7 with your system drive, call Dell and they can provide you with one, you will need to install the operating system on the new drive. I have a link below for a very complete Windows reinstallation guide.

• Backlit keyboard for Vostro 3550 'Always On' option

  How do you keep your keyboard backlit, lit permanently on a Vostro 3550? The Fn + F6 touch only cycles between off, less bright and shiny options but both dark and light, both turns off after about 2 minutes, when you need to see the keys the most. Not a very bright technical decision.

  I use a USB mouse and touchpad. If you are constantly using a touchpad that does not become a problem.

  I searched this forum and the internet more off but can't find anything about it - I hope I can find help here.

  Thank you

  szlachta,

  Start, Control Panel, Windows Mobility Center. Click on the blue square next to the brightness of the keyboard. You should then see...

  

  Change the settings to your needs. Save and exit.

  I came across weird questions, highlighting the text. Essentially, my text highlights but may be of different colours (some too light to see). After getting this weird highlight, I can minimize, maximize, or move my window off the coast and back on the screen and the highlight will be one color.

  This problem goes away if I return to the 8.15.10.2008 version.

• Need graphic driver for windows 8.1

  Hi all

  I have:

  HP pavilion dv6 7010tx

  Windows 8 pro 64-bit

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I found the update to windows 8.1 pro by Windows store, so I downloaded it but not able to install it due to the limitation of graphics drivers [I get the CODE of ERROR 0XC1900101-40019]

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I tried all of these methods:

  * Clean install of windows 8 pro 64-bit

  * only install the update that shows the Windows store 8.1 update

  * Keep my NVidia driver update which is 332.21-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql. It is 64-bit capable of windows 8 and 8.1 64 bit.

  * updated day to day my driver intel graphics is Intel (r) graphics 4000 v10.18.10.3379 HD

  * check the latest updates for my model of hp driver download wesite [it doesnot provide me with graphics driver for windows 8.1]

  * Graphics drivers from intel directly [ https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23323 ] windows 8.1 which is by train

  V15.33.5.64.3316 [doesnot allow installation limitations requirements]

  * A tried to upgrade to 8.1 windows 8 times intant (8x3.6 GB )

  * Called Microsoft technical support [I was told that my model does not support windows 8.1] I think he was referring to the lack of drivers.

  * Called hp support [he said no available driver CURRENTLY] not clear if she can come out in the future or not.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  So help me with this problem. Give me the drivers for intel graphics hd for windows 8.1 or other solution for the above error.

  Nevermind, I found the solution... It applies to these two errors 40019-0xc1900101 and 0xc1900101-4000 D (something like that)
  I installed all the updates from Microsoft, including graphics drivers... then, went to the Manager of devices and uninstalled (and deleted) two display drivers and has not yet manually installed all the drivers... you hear just the default for both drivers.
  It worked for me...
  We hope someone also find it useful.

• Dell Vostro 3550 USB PORT don't DO NOT WORK

  Hi all

  I recently bought the Dell Vostro 3550 (2 days back) and I just realized that only one of the 3 usb ports work.

  1 USB PORT at the BACK (USB 3) does not

  1 LAW of USB PORT (USB 3) does not

  1 works of LEFT USB (USB 2)

  LEFT 1 USB PORT (USB 2.0 / SATA) WORK

  Why not the other. I even updated the BIOS. HELP PLEASE

  Hello

  I recommend you to try the following steps to check the USB ports. First of all I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling concentrators root USB from Device Manager. Please follow the steps below to reinstall the USB root hubs:

  • Click Start, in start search type Device Manager and press ENTER.
  • Expand Bus USB controllers.
  • Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click on uninstall to remove them one at a time.
  • Restart the computer and check.

  If the USB ports still do not work, please click the link below and download the USB 3.0 host controller.
