Wireless on dell inspiron 1545 problem

Hi all

I can't connect to the network at my University Wireless:

I have 2 network cards: Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini Card, Marvell Yukon 88E80 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller.

I don't know what more information, I can give to help you.

BTW I already turned on the wireless switch, but windows xp still says: 'no wireless networks were found in range ".

Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

have you tried to push the F2 key? On this particular model, you don't need to press fn + f2; Only the key F2; pressing once should activate wireless. Try this. If it doesn't work;

  • Dell Inspiron 1545: Can not scan wireless for my laptop

    I have a Dell Laptop Inspiron 1545 it is my main computer. I also have a Dell Dimension 4600 series desk top that I use very rarely. My HP printer D110 all-in-one is set up for these two. My problem is that I can't scan to the Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop wireless to the printer. When I try the following message appears on the printer screen: try to may computer or see the documentation press OK.

    The last time I used the top of desk, which was a year ago, I was able to scan to it from the printer. However, I think that the printer and the computer are connected, but am not certain. I am able to print wireless from the Dell Inspiron 1545 to the printer without any problems.

    I have DSL.

    Any help is very appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi @BlackSheepFan,

    From your description, I think it would be better to remove the software, clean up a bit of the computer, and then reinstall the software. Please complete all of the steps below in the order and let me know the results.

    1. Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
    2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
    3. The new software - uninstall the printer software Instructions
    4. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
    5. Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
  • Problem with Dell Inspiron 1545 integrated Webcam

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 with a built-in webcam. It came with Vista but I upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit. The webcam used to work at the beginning. I don't know why but one day it stopped working and never worked more. I looked everywhere on the internet means and tried a lot of ways, and it still does not work. Device Manager identifies as "Unknown device" and identifies it as a USB Bus controller. I tried to uninstall it and always allow to detect, but it detects as unknown device. I also tried to reinstall the driver, the vista one because it doesn't have a windows 7 one. What this did was uninstall the old and tried to install a new one (which is the same). But the thing is, it does not work. He'll try to install it and then a message saying "an error has occurred in the installation of the driver" or something like that and then it does not work. I ended up having to run the system restore to recover the pilot. I tried many ways and still does not work. Even the average USB cable. I have been using a USB mouse. I even plugged the USB cable in all my USB ports and it did not work. I tried to connect is not in what either too and it does not work either. I can't even ask Dell to help cause there is nothing to support that I can get. And my drivers are all up to date. Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Hi Kakikala,

    Thank you for posting.

    At this point, I suggest you to contact Dell to see if the compatible device in Windows 7.

    If this is the case, they must provide you with a driver that will correctly identify and install the unit.

    You can also ask them if another device, like a USB joystick, needs a driver to be able to identify the material of the webcam and install it correctly.

  • What video card do I need on a Dell Inspiron 1545 playing Fallout 3?

    I have a problem when I try to play Fallout 3 on my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop. I tested my computer with the System Requirements Lab and he told me that I need an upgrade. I have a Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family.  He said that the Minimum that I need for my computer is Direct X 9.0 c compatible video card with 256 MB RAM (NVIDIA 6800 or better/ATI X 850 or better).  I looked this up, but I can only find ones for desktop computers. Do you know what I should get the video card and what one is for my computer?

    Shawn

    Generally, you may not get a new video card for your laptop, but if you can contact so that they can install it for you, unless you know how to install mobile video cards yourself.

    I looked towards the top of your machine and it looks like you have the possibility to have a 256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330 for your machine. That would probably be it. I don't know what type of processor you have, but this card should work for you. Integrated Intel cards are not good for games at all.

    Good luck.

    Hi guys, I was looking around several forums, not just this one to see if there is a solution for the problem of screen dim / dark etc that seems to plague dell inspiron 1545, 1537,.  I've seen people change motherboards and say it is fixed and some simply go back the video cable to fix, but I now have 3 of them on my Workbench and all have the same problem.  I mounted nine cables, inverters, even a work supposedly motherboard without success.  I even borrowed a 1545 laptop work and tried the cable, the screen and the inverter to a broken just to isolate the problem and they do not work on it.  The real pain is that original work components did not work now either.  Now I have 2 customers machines and a friends machine all with Sun screens.

  • Blutooth 365 is not found on Dell Inspiron 1545 with upgrade to Windows 7

    I had a 365 blutooth on my Dell Inspiron 1545 running in Windows Vista. I've upgraded to Windows 7, and now Windows 7 can not find it. It is activated when I pass by the system put in place... How can I find it on windows 7? When I push the button on my keyboard it turn on and off, I see the symbol but the symbol does not appear in the taskbar.

    Hi Andieb102,

    Check if your bluetooth is listed in Device Manager .
    If it is not, you see any exclaimation mark on this subject?
    The first step I would have you to do is to run the Hardware Troubleshooter .
     
    Step 2:
    Because the Dell 365 bluetooth adapter requires no additional software after the upgrade to Windows 7 (it should do this automatically). In the event that it fails to update itself automatically, I suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the bluetooth card.
     
    Uninstall the bluetooth device manager card drivers and reinstall the same.
     
    To uninstall the Device Manager,
     
    1. click on start, type device manager in the search box of start and press ENTER.
    2 locate the device and expand the same.
    3. Select the bluetooth adapter, right click and select uninstall.
    4 restart the computer, if prompted.
     
    Pilots should settle automatically after the computer restarts.
     
    Note: Before uninstalling the drivers from Device Manager, make sure that you have a backup installation files.
    Step 3:

    Sometimes, once you upgrade your operating system, some services will be disabled automatically. I would like to you can check if ' Bluetooth Support Service ' is disabled. If it is disabled, enable it.
     
    You can find this service by going to:
     
    1. start
    2 Control Panel
    3. Administrative Tools
    4 services
    5. Select 'Bluetooth Support Service' and set it to automatic.

  • Unable to determine the type of AC power adapter. Dell Inspiron 1545.

    Hi all

    Just recently I started receiving the error message bad "cannot determine the type of AC power adapter. Your system will run more slowly and the battery won't charge. "Please connect a Dell 65W adapter or higher for a better functioning of the system.

    I've had my dell inspiron 1545 since 2009. I had to replace my battery once because I kept getting an error message. The error message above, I have been doing hard for about a week now. I had read that push the cord into the laptop could work. I know it sounds stupid, but I actually tried and for some time the adapter started to charge my battery again. But whenever I turn off my laptop I have to re connect the adapter because I get this error again. About 2 days ago, I tried my usual method of shoving the cord, but now the method does not work and my battery fell to 18%. I must say that I always keep my plugged power cord because my battery never lasted more than an hour before.  It seems that my card still works when I plug it into the wall of blue light still appears. When I plug it into the laptop computer, the icon appears that it is plugged in and the display becomes brighter. I am also able to remove my battery and work on my laptop as long as the AC adapter is plugged. I'm really afraid that this problem is related to the motherboard.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    First thing to try is a new Dell AC adapter - if this doesn't fix the problem, replace the power supply (see link below).  And in the unlikely event, he is not taking or adapter, the motherboard needs to be replaced.
