Dell Inspiron 7537 - Issues

I purchased the Inspiron 7537 (i7 4500U, 8gb RAM, Nvidia GT750M).
Issues:
1. Hiss noise from headphone socket (Same as my Studio 1558, DELL's RnD is a bullshit)
2. Wifi range is low, connectivity is not good (Cant blame dell, cos same issues with other laptop using intel wireless-N 7260 dual band)
https://www.google.co.in/search?q=intel+wireless+n+7260+card+issue&oq=intel+wire&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l2j69i57j0j69i60l2.5570j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Question:
Can this processor i7 4500U be upgraded without changing the motherboard?
Is this processor soldered with motherboard??

I have successfully solved the 1st issue of yours: the hissing sound is from the RealTek Audio Driver, not the Hardware itself.
1. Go to Device Manager.
2. Choose Sound, Video and Game Controllers.
3. Right click on Hi Definition Audio Device, choose Update Driver Software -> Browse for Driver on your Computer -> Let me pick from a list...
4. Once in there, chose High Definition Audio Device instead of the RealTek option, then click Next.
5. Follow on screen instruction, you may need to restart.
The problem should be corrected by then. Good luck!

  • Dell Inspiron 7537 - Resume from sleep causes various dmesg errors

    Hi,
    I'm getting various acpi and intel video driver errors upon resume from sleep. The system does come up and I haven't found any functional problems that this is causing. I think the acpi errors may just be causing some devices to drain more power than is necessary. I have tried various live CD's from Ubuntu, Sabayon, and Fedora and they all have these same symptoms. Can anyone help with this, particularly anyone with the same laptop model who may have fixed these issues?
    Thanks,

    I also bought a Dell Inspiron 15 7537 and I had the same problem as OP, but on Fedora 21 64-bit with Gnome 3.14. I haven't tried any other distros or DEs. However, both Arch and Fedora run systemd, so I think my solution work the same on both systems. I fixed it by doing the following steps:
    1. Create a script that reloads the kernel module hid_multitouch.
    $ sudo mkdir /opt/touchscreen-fix
    $ cd /opt/touchscreen-fix
    $ echo '#!/bin/sh
    /sbin/rmmod hid_multitouch && /sbin/modprobe hid_multitouch' | sudo tee resume.sh
    $ sudo chmod +x resume.sh
    Executing this script after a resume will make the touchscreen work again. However, it will of course not run automatically after a resume.
    2. Schedule the script to run after resume.
    Create the systemd service file:
    $ echo '[Unit]
    Description=Fix touchscreen after resume
    After=suspend.target
    [Service]
    Type=simple
    ExecStart=/opt/touchscreen-fix/resume.sh
    [Install]
    WantedBy=suspend.target' | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/touchscreen-fix.service
    Enable it:
    $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    $ sudo systemctl enable touchscreen-fix
    Done! And that's all! I'm not sure if you also might need to restart the computer for it to work.
    To accomplish this I used the following resources:

  • Dell Inspiron 7537 - Battery Charge Information

    Hi,
    Does anyone notice any wrong information about battery charge? I use CPUID HW Monitor tool to check temperature and other things.
    Last year September, the 1st battery suddenly stopped charging. Then Dell replaced the battery.
    The 2nd battery (current one) starts showing wrong charge information after 2 days.
    At 100% charge, the full charge capacity and current capacity should be same. But it was not. Please check the battery section of attached screenshots of CPUID HW Monitor tool at different time.

    May 5, 2015 - After calibrating battery

    Hi deborahferrari,
    Thanks for posting on the Dell Community Forum.
    Without knowing the age of your computer and battery, it's difficult to say what might  be causing this issue.  Batteries normally last about a year to a year and a half, and are warranted for 1 year, so if your computer is less than that, then after troubleshooting with the Tech Support dept, they may opt to replace it.  If it is past that time, then try running your computer plugged into the a/c adapter with the battery removed.  You can operate your computer in that manner while you research what you are going to do about a new battery.      
    If the computer will not work with the adapter connected, then there might be a bigger issue, and might need repairs.
    If you need additional assistance, contact me privately.  Thanks.
    Regards,
    Robert                    

  • Dell Inspiron 7537 - Sound only works after resuming from suspend

    Hello,
    So my sound does not work after boot, only once I resume from suspend. So, once I turn on my computer, and I load sound, nothing work (everything is unmuted in Alsa) - then if I suspend my computer and resume - the sound works every time.
    I use Alsa and here is my amixer output (before and after suspend is the same) :
    eric@archlinux ~> amixer
    Simple mixer control 'Master',0
    Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined

    What gets rebooted when I do a suspend, but not when I reboot? Does not seem to make sense to me.
    Thanks.

    Is there any additional information I can include to help figure this out?

  • My Inspiron 7537 dell laptop

    well ,my  my Inspiron 7537 dell laptop webcam is not working during Skype calls and i still don't get why is that happening and how to fix such problem.

    Hi,
    Does the webcam work on other software? If the issue is seen only in Skype, reinstall it.
    If you're unable to get the webcam working using the Dell Webcam Central as well, check in Device Manager and confirm if the driver is installed correctly.

  • 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.

  • Windows update not working on new Dell Inspiron 7000 (7537)

    I currently have Windows 8 on my new dell inspiron (actually refurbished) 7000.  Only things I've done since getting the computer:  I removed McAfee and turned on Windows defender (which also won't update).  Windows update shows about 93 updates
    but when I hit install it says it is downloading by never moves past 0%.  I used the auto fix that Microsoft offers for windows update to no avail.  Not sure what to do now.

    Hi,
    I agree with Milos.
    I suggest you upload the Windowsupdate.log so that we can help you analyze the issue.
    By default, the Windows Update client records all transaction   information to the following log file:
    %windir%\Windowsupdate.log
    Meanwhile,please check the following services to ensure they are in a start state.

  • 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.

  • 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.
