Dell Inspiron 14 3421 pairing issue.

Hello I tried to pair my samsung J1 device with my Dell Inspiron 14 3421 but on the computer configurations it says the mobile is "not connected". I have downloaded the latest "Dell Wireless 1703 Bluetooth" driver on Dell's page using the System Detect, and have also installed the Dell Update, and it says everything is up-to-date.
To do the pairing I have followed this tutorial below:
en.community.dell.com/.../3618.bluetooth-connection-and-pairing
But I keep on having this pairing issue. Please what should I do?

Hello,
First thing I always ask is are you able to pair other bluetooth devices with that system? I would like to define whether it is an issue with that particular pairing or whether your system is not able to connect via bluetooth at all. I also would be interested to find out if Samsung device is able to pair with other BT connections.
I would also recommend you check out this article on troubleshooting Bluetooth connections to see if it helps you resolve the problem.
Please let us know if the information on the Bluetooth knowledge article is able to help you or not. If not, then we'll see if we can find other information for you.

Dell inspiron 14 3421 becomes extremly slow everytime i download microsoft office

Hi i bought this machine Dell Inspiron 14 3421 for school work and projects. it came with windows 8 and i bought microsoft office 365. everytime i upload the office the machine becomes sooo slow that it takes about 5 minutes for a simple word document to
open up. i am extremely frustrated and dont know what to do to fix it up!!!
i took the help of dell customer support so they made me go to factory setting after taking the back up of all the data...the computer became fast and it started working fine. so i downloaded the microsoft office 365 again it worked fine for 2 days and again
it became extremely slow...
can you please help me to solve this problem??? i really dunno what to do and where to go.

Hi,
Did you have this issue when opening other Office applications? Only Word?
The first thing to check is whether the document is on your computer or not. If the problem is evident in all documents on your computer (they are all slow in opening), then you may want to check your virus protection software.
When Word is not running, make sure you delete all the temporary files that Word may have left lying around various folders in your system.

Dell Inspiron 530 Graphics Card Issues

Hello Guys,
I recently received a EVGA SC GTX 750 Ti from a friend and decided I would install it in my Inspiron 530. Here is what happens when I disable my integrated graphics using device manager (Windows 7 Ultimate) and plug in VGA through card: The screen starts, and the dell splash screen loads (BIOS) but then the screen goes black and then the system beeps once.
I proceeded to believe the card was DOA, I tested it in a friend's Inspiron 570 with the same PSU and it booted into Windows.
This tells me that my PC has adequate power and the card is not DOA.
The only difference is that his PC is PCI 2.0 while mine is the primitive Gen 1.0.
This shouldn't be a difference however, because they are all backwards compatible. So could this be a BIOS issue or what?
Please give your suggestions.
Thanks

I am running an Inspiron 530 with an Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB DDR5 graphics card. No problems at all here The card works great, I am very pleased. I would recommend upgrading the power supply to at least 400w for the card. The Corsair PS that I am using works very well, and is modular.
You say you are running Core 2 Quad, so I am guessing you have the 03 motherboard, and not the 02 that I have. My board only accepts a Core 2 Duo. I am running a Core 2 e8500 3.3Ghz.
How much RAM do you have? I would recommend 8GB of good RAM for the 530. I have 8GB Corsair RAM and it works very good, even for DDR2.
I recommend the following:
1. Unplug the graphics card and all other cards from the motherboard.
2. Update to the latest BIOS for your motherboard. Revert back to factory BIOS settings after you update, and tweak your BIOS from there to make sure everything is configured properly to use a graphics card.
3. Plug the card in and try again. Upgrade to the latest Nvidia drivers.
4. Try the card on a different computer. The card may be your problem.
Post feedback of what you do.

Here is the instructions for removing the keyboard:

I would suggest removing and cleaning it gently. If that does not work, you may need to replace the keyboard. I was not able to find a replacement keyboard, unfortunately, or I'd post it. Further research is needed, or bring to Geek Squad for repair.

Dell inspiron 1525n Wi-Fi issue.

Well...
hwd -s displays:
Network: BCM4310 USB controller module: -
I tried the b43 module and the bcm43** module, but they didn't work, so I tried te ndiswrapper way:
Followed the instructions from here since I get driver installed but no device listed (just like the guy who posted the "hack")
Before the hack I got from ndiswrapper -l:
bcmwl5 : driver installed
After the hack I get:
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4315) present
But when I try ifconfig I get just eth0 and lo, and if I try iwconfig I get:
lo no wireless extensions
eth0 no wireless extensions
And I have no idea what to do.
BTW The wi-fi switch is switched on and the bluetooth LED is glowing, but the wi-fi LED doesn't glow no matter what I do. They appear to be turned on in the BIOS (both bluetooth and wi fi) but only bluetooth's LED glows (I don't know if that's a hardware issue or not).

So... when I run
modprobe -r ndiswrapper I get (with dmesg)
usbcore: deregistering interface driver ndiswrapper
When I run modprobe b43 (which is supposed to be the driver for my card) I get (with dmesg)
Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]
However as I read here USB wi-fi device (as is my card) is not supported. Nor it is supported by the b43 driver, so my only option appears to be ndiswrapper (but as I wrote to you - it doesn't work.)
I'm currently searching for x86-64 driver as someone suggested.
modprobe ndiswrapper gets me (dmesg gets me)
ndiswrapper version 1.52 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=yes)
usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper

Printing Issues with HP PSC 750 on Dell Inspiron 3647 using Windows 8.1

Recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 3647 desktop which has Windows 8.1 unable to get my HP PSC 750 to print correctly.
I have downloaded all applicable Win 8.0 drivers and even tried using the HP print & Scan Doctor application. I get partial test pages printed, but the emails, documents, etc. are not complete.
I had one error pop up stating that the USB 2.0 may not work with the 3.0 on the computer, but never how to 'work around that issue'.
I tried calling HP support and they wanted to 'remote' into my computer as that was the only way they said the issue could be fixed...never done that before and was not comfortable with it...
Any other ideas - before I go out and buy a brand new printer (this one by the way still works great!)
Thanks in advance!

Hi there and welcome to the forums
I saw your post about trying to install and use your PSC 750 on your new Windows 8.1 system. After checking the drivers out for this printer, I have discovered that there is no driver available for Windows 8.1. Perhaps try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see if that will help with printing. If not, I would then suggest looking into an upgraded printer which will have more up to date software and would most likely function with 8.1.

Connectivity Issues Between my AirPort Express and Dell Inspiron

I have an Airport Extreme set up in my home office, and then two AirPort Expresses set up around the house, but if my Dell Inspiron is anywhere in the building other than in the home office room it will barely connect to the network. My Macbook pro has no issues roaming about the house, but for some reason the dell does, even if it is parked right next to one of the airport express range extenders... Any thoughts?

". . . but a WIFI signal is a WIFI signal right?"
I think so, but what do I know. I also saw where another person suggested checking the "Linksys WPA" settings. Might work, but I have absolutely no idea what they are or where I'd find them (although I did write and ask). Here's a link to that thread, maybe it will help:

Dell Inspiron 7000 series dual monitor issue

Today tried to connect Dell Inspiron 7437 to external monitor using HDMI cord; it did not work. I changed setting to external monitor only and now cannot get an image on laptop screen or external monitor when HDMI cord is connected. Tried to restart computer; still goes to blank screen as soon as I plug in HDMI.
1. How to a return to default setting for laptop display so it's only set to laptop?
2. Is it possible to connect inspiron 7000 to external monitor with hdmi?
Thank you

Hello,
Yes, it is possible to connect the Inspiron 7000 series to an external monitor using an HDMI cable. Normally you can control how the video is displayed by using the <FN>+<F8> key combination. Normally your options are LCD only, duplicate display on the LCD & the external monitor, or just display on the external monitor (projector mode). Try that key combination to see if you can toggle between the available displays.
One thing you also might want to check to see is if that monitor is set to a resolution that your system cannot handle. Here is a link to the product support pages for the Inspiron 7437, and you will find user manuals on the page that will help explain which resolutions your video card can handle. You may need to set your monitor back to default settings (see your user manual for that monitor for details) and that should enable your system to send video to it.
Let me know if any of this helps or if you have additional questions.

Dell Inspiron 1525 wireless issues.

After much frustration with the slowness on Vista, I decided to install Arch on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525)
I've been running Arch on my Desktop for about a year now and it's been a while since I've done a fresh install.
The problem is getting my wireless card to operate.
I've tried the wiki and the web and haven't had great results.
my wireless card is a Broadcom BCM4310. I first tried the b43 driver, but it doesn't support the 4310 (it does support the 4309 and 4311. I guess mine got skipped )
anyways, I then tried the ndiswrapper around the bcmwl5 driver. I followed the wiki to the letter to get this driver installed, but I am still not showing any wireless devices.
ifconfig -a shows my eth0 and lo.
ifconfig wlan0 up does nothing either.
I'm stumped.
any ideas?

[SOLVED] Function Keys Problem On Dell Inspiron N5010

Yesterday I bought a new laptop (Dell Inspiron N5010) and immediately installed Arch Linux on it. But when I launched the installation framework, I needed to use fdisk to partition my drive manually and to open another tty, ctrl + alt + f2 or up to f7, none of them worked. When I use f4 or f5 for example, it changes the brightness of the screen cause these keys have icons on them which represent the brightness control. So I quitted, took care of that fdisk issue and got back, installed Arch Linux successfully. When launched in GNOME 3, nothing was changed. It still uses f1, f2, ... and so on as "just function keys" without using "Fn" key. It's fine somehow cause my system automatically detected those keys, I can use every single function of my keyboard. But without using Fn key, I can't actually use any fx key for my own use. For example, I can't use Tilda anymore cause when I use only f1, it tries to open monitor control stuff.
So... any ideas?
Edit: It seems that this problem is all about Arch Linux. A friend of mine has the same laptop and he has just tried Mint Debian RC and function keys worked properly. So, there's a problem and it seems it's related to Arch Linux (or maybe Xorg version, somehow?).

I switched it in the bios so I don't have to hit the function key to activate the F keys. So I would have had to hit Fn+Ctrl-Alt-F1 for example to get to TTY 1. Now since i switched it off in the bios All I have to do is hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to the terminal. But in order to turn off wifi from the F key (for example) I have to hit Fn+F2. It's switched.
I can't tell you how this was helpful. I've never noticed that there was an option in BIOS's Advanced menu for this. I updated it as "Function Key" and it solved my problem, thanks.

StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521

Side Note: I wrote a reply to a thread that was from 2013. I do apologize because the link was sent to me by my bf and I did not realize how old it was. Since my reply has to be approved I can't delete it.
Current Issue: StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15 model 3521
I bought my Dell laptop last year and at first I did not realize that it had only one audio jack (combo, as the specifications manual says), I only noticed when I was trying to plug in my Ozone Rage ST headset.
I searched online threads and found out that I needed an adapter and most people mentioned Headset Buddy. I couldn't find any adapters for sale in my country (or employees didn't really know what I was talking about) and since Headset Buddy is a bit expensive, I decided to try StarTech Headset adapter for headsets with separate headphone/microphone plugs - 3.5mm 4 position to 2x 3 position 3.5mm M/F www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top.
It arrived today and let me tell you that I can't make it work. I can hear everything but I can't get the external mic to work or even be detected. I have always used my headset (mostly for gaming) and I prefer to use my external mic rather than the internal one. First I connected my headphone and mic jacks to the adapter and only after that did I connect it to the laptop combo jack. I also tried vice-versa. It didn't work, regardless of the order. I even tried with a different headset and it still didn't work. What else can I do?
I have also found a thread on Dell forums saying that Headset Buddy doesn't even work on Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521. So since it doesn't work and I'm assuming StarTech doesn't, either, what am I to do/buy?! I am getting extremely frustrated and I'm very disappointed with Dell because the brand should have included with the laptop a proper working adapter for these situations and not make its customers buy an extra accessory to make whatever working gear they already had function. It just doesn't make sense to me! Either make the changes work properly or simply don't touch anything. I spent some of my savings on this laptop which, overall, is great but now I am being forced to spend more on an item to allow me to use my headset. I am running out of options here and even Dell can't seem to tell its customers with 100% certainty what really works for this specific model.
If I can't make the adapter work, I just hope I can return it, otherwise I'll end up with no refund and with a piece of equipment I have no other use for!
Any thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
This is the first time I was forced to buy adapters such as these so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's anything else I can do to make it work. When I plug the adapter to my Dell, the laptop presents me with several options such as: headphones, headphone, speakers, skull candy headphones, etc (maybe some may have different names but since I see them in Portuguese, I'm not quite sure how they appear for someone who has the computer in English), I have picked different options and it still doesn't work, the only noticeable changes are sound quality related, I guess.

Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series

I have an acer aspire one that has been trucking along for nearly 6 years now with almost continuous use (about a year of non-use time in there, but that's it). I use it primarily for taking notes in class and such, but it also sees a lot of programming and other use since I take it to campus each day and also on trips. In this time, I have lost almost all the feet and now screws are slowly disappearing. It also has started to have some overheating issues when the heatsink seems to shift positions slightly (it shuts off within 90 seconds when this happens). In addition, I find myself wishing quite often that it could do things like stream video properly (without jittering) and compile the kernel (it takes FOREVER on that tiny hyper threaded single core atom processor). So, I've been looking at a replacement that can get similar battery life, has a similarly sized screen (preferably touch as well because I think that would be great fun to use), more than 1Gb of RAM (I can have about 7 tabs open on chrome and then it starts having troubles since I have swap disabled), and a better processor. My most basic requirement, however, is that the laptop be able to run arch.
I've been looking at the Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series since it seems to have the best battery life of my various 11.6" options out there. The processor is a dual core Celeron which sounds old and antiquated to me, even though I believe its based on Haswell (not sure there). It also has 4Gb RAM and 500Gb hard drive. Another option, for $50 more, is a pentium processor which sounds even more antiquated, but is still based on Haswell.
http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-11-31 … redir=true
My question is this: Has anyone managed to get arch working on one of these things? I also imagine that the most new-fangled component would be the touchscreen, so does anyone know the general support of those for linux?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Dell Inspiron 14R WLAN Card Disabled

Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron 14R running Windows 7 64 bit. I have had my PC from this past November; about 7 months.
I was using my PC, and suddenly, I started to experience wireless problems. I was unable to get onto the internet. Other devices on my wireless network are able to log on to our network, although that is irrelevant because my radio wasn't picking up anything at all, when it always had from that same location. The connection worked fine using an ethernet cable. After the problem occurred, my Targus Bluetooth mouse also stopped working. This is what I have tried:
Going into Network and Sharing Center, disabling my network adapter, and then enabling it again. This usually does the trick. After doing it over 5 times, it never worked.
Doing a simple system restore. I attempted restoring 3 different times to an update within the last week, each of which failed (probably another issue altogether).
Re-installing my WLAN CARD Driver, and then restarting. This didn't solve the problem.
Checking the Device Manager. It reported that the wireless card was running properly.
Using the DW WLAN CARD Utility. It says under the Link Status tab, after Connection Status, Radio Disabled. I tried right-clicking the icon in my Notification Area, and then clicking Enable Radio. It then shows an alert saying "The WLAN card is still disabled. Use the wireless switch or hotkey to enable it." Pressing Fn + F2, which is also supposed to enable the radio, did nothing, with no action or sign whatsoever from Windows. I also tried running tests under the Diagnostics tab. All hardware tests passed, with the Connection test giving me this alert again: "The WLAN card is still disabled. Use the wireless switch or hotkey to enable it," and then failing. The same thing happened when running the CCX Client diagnostics.
What should I do? The problem is obvious that my card is disabled, as all signs point to that. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix it? I've tried everything I know, not to mention countless Google searches.
Thanks!

I am experiencing the same issue with my Inspiron N4010. The network card has disappeared from the system devices. After a reboot, the network connected for about 15 seconds and then went away. I had the system devices displayed at the same time and the network card also disappeared when the network went down. The card worked fine until today. What is the cheapest route to fix this?
Also note the sound has come and gone over the past year. It is not working at the moment. It would be nice to fix both, but will the cost be greater than buying a new laptop or tablet?
I can't say I will ever buy a Dell product again. These laptops seem to only last a year or two. Even my more expensive work laptop which is less than a year old has had its motherboard and hard drive replaced.
