Fan (fancontrol) issue: Dell Inspiron 3521

Hello everyone, please bear with me as I am a novice arch user. Also I am not native english speaker (just in case )
I have a problem with the laptop fan working constantly, which is annoying and disturbing. It has to be due to a system configuration, because I am coming form the other distro, where problem didn't exist. Also just after arch installation the fan was working fine (meaning in intervals, not constantly). It's just broken recently. The temp. is fine, around 50 degrees with medium load (browser, mplayer).
[mateusz@mateusz ~]$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +52.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 0: +52.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +50.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
So obviously I made my research, and came to that conclusion:
-Due to the nature of systemd, the config for fancontrol stopped being loaded properly
[mateusz@mateusz ~]$ systemctl status lm_sensors
● lm_sensors.service - Initialize hardware monitoring sensors
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lm_sensors.service; disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
[mateusz@mateusz ~]$ systemctl status fancontrol
● fancontrol.service - Start fan control, if configured
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/fancontrol.service; disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
sie 08 08:54:01 mateusz systemd[1]: Started Start fan control, if configured.
I suspect it's the same thing explained in this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1251766 ,
"assignments of various hwmon symlinks change on each reboot". The advice is to load modules manually. But I got only one module:
[mateusz@mateusz ~]$ ls /sys/class/hwmon/ -al
razem 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 08-08 09:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 45 root root 0 08-08 09:45 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 08-08 09:12 hwmon0 -> ../../devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon0
This is the place I got stuck. I have a general idea what to do, but I'd like to confirm and double check. I don't want to mess up my system, since I got to like it quite a bit.
My thinking is:
1. Set up lm_sensors
2. Remove it from autostart (or not configure it to autostart, but I'd rather remove it later, just to be on the safe side)
3. Load modules manually to /etc/modules-load.d/load_these.conf However, I am worried that I see only coretemp. Just seems that something is wrong.
4. See if default /etc/fancontrol is ok. If not try to configure it, as explained in wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fan_speed_control
5. Do not run /usr/bin/fancontrol as I have Dell Ispiron ? Install instead i8kutils? See which is better/working at all?
6. Enable working solution from 5.
Thank you for reading this rather long one. I'd greatly appreciated any healp, hints, leads and so on.
Best regards

I am sorry to drag that issue, but It's a quite big problem for me. I realize that previous post are not proper, and I should've educated myself better. I read and googled a lot, but still can't figure what to do next. Please help.
Using i8k I set fancontrol, and It's working (done the manual modules loading to prevent systemd boot issue)
Now the rpm for my fan is ridiculous when the fan is on (I mean on software wise, because it's working constantly)
[mateusz@mateusz ~]$ sensors
i8k-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
Right Fan: 90000 RPM
CPU: +49.0°C
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +49.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 0: +48.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +47.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
I set up minimal temp to 45 to prevent fan from working in the lower tempratures
[mateusz@mateusz ~]$ systemctl status fancontrol
● fancontrol.service - Start fan control, if configured
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/fancontrol.service; enabled)

And the sensors gives expected output:
[mateusz@mateusz ~]$ sensors
i8k-virtual-0

Right Fan: 0 RPM
CPU: +45.0°C
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter

Core 0: +46.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +44.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
But despite the 0 RPM reading the fan is noising all the way. I read more about i8kutils, installed it and tested. I got weird output:
[mateusz@mateusz ~]$ i8kctl
1.0 A12 7YDQ0X1 47 -1 0 -1 0 -1 -1
[mateusz@mateusz ~]$ i8kctl fan
-1 0
-1 entry is not even in the man page. What does it mean? It's the left one, the usual cpu one. And the other one is switched off, which is consistent with sesnors output (while sensors give RPM speed i8kctl gives 1 for the right fan) . But like I said, it's fanning all the time, constantly. The other thing is that this laptop, to my limited knowledge has got one fan.
Please help, I am lost here.
Best regards

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.

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.

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?

Microphone problem with my Inspiron 3521

Hi,
I have purchased a laptop Dell Inspiron 15 3521 Tag Number<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed as per privacy policy>. It is to inform you that there is a problem with Microphone. The output of the microphone is very low and blurry. I have done all my best to solve the problem but all in vain.
You are requested to please help me in this regards.

You are requested to please help me in this regards.
Hello Muhammad Umar. This forum is for Dell owners to have a place where we can discuss technical issues with each other. If you are attempting to address a Dell representative, I urge you to contact Dell directly.
My own advice to you is to first re-install your Realtek audio driver from the Inspiron 3521 downloads page (make sure to select your operating system in the drop down menu).
If the problem remains, next install the native Windows audio driver. If that also does not fix the problem then you probably have hardware failure of the mic. In that case you should contact tech support (using the above link) and schedule a repair as per your warranty.

Dell Inspiron 15R wont turn on (continuous beeping)

Dell Inspiron 15R (5537) suddenly wouldn't want to start. When boot up, nothing seem to appear, blank screen, no logo, no text, nothing. there is a continuous beeping, it not 2 beep or 5 beep or any number of beep, it just beep continuously, never ending, until I turn off the laptop.
Did some searching around on the web, forum, and so far I attempted:
-Checked ram and hard-drive to see if it fully connect.
-Turn off computer, unplug battery and ac power, press the power button for 30 sec.
still haven't resolve the problem yet.
Next, I try to do a Pre-boot System Assessment, FN+Power. Took SEVERAL attempt to finally got it to run Pre-boot System Assessment. Hold FN + Power, hear beeping, turn it off, Hold FN + Power, hear beeping, turn it off.
Did that for about 20 times and finally got Pre-boot System Assessment instead of the beeping.

This is the result I got from it, Currently doing the remaining memory test. It taking a long time, ill have an update once that is done, it stuck on 98%.

DELL-Terry B
This paper discusses troubleshooting steps for notebooks that are not turning on. Typically it could be one of three issues, No power (no power to the notebook), No post (the system has power but is not fully turning on), or No boot (the system has power, it is turning on, but it is not booting to the Operating system).
From your post it is obvious that the notebook has power, but it isn't fully turning on. I would have to say that this is a No post problem. This paper will go over further troubleshooting steps to help determine the problem.
If the notebook is not starting up or showing a blank screen:
Remove any peripheral devices that are attached to the computer.
Peripherals include:
Printers
Scanners
Media Card Readers
Mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets or portable digital assistants or MP3 players
Digital cameras or video recorders
USB storage devices
Remove the computer from a docking station if it is in one
Remove any CDs or DVDs in the optical drive
Remove the AC adapter from the computer and remove the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
Remove the computer's battery. For instructions on how to do this, consult the Online Owner's Manual.
Press and hold the computer power button for 15 seconds.
Insert the AC adapter plug and make sure it is seated properly.
Plug in the AC power cord to a known good working outlet.
Press the power button to see if the computer turns on.
If the computer starts, turn it off and put the battery back in.
Press the power button to see if the computer turns on.
If the computer starts, turn it off and continue replacing peripheral components until you determine
which one is causing the failure.
Please let me know if this helps out.

I did what you told me, there is power coming it, it just wont start, like i can hear the fan running, the power led is lid up, it just wont boot into anything, screen is blank and there is a continuous beeping sound, beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. it goes on and on.
if i keep turning it on and off, if im lucky, very rarely, it boot into the OS or into Pre-boot System Assessment. Once it boot into the window OS, i attempt to do a factory reset, but as soon as it restart it fail to continue and just beep.
any other suggestions?

[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?).

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.

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.

Please assist me; I need to revert back to windows 7 home premium service pack 1 running a 64 bit system from windows 7 pro service pack 1 running a 64 bit system. Windows 7 home premium came preinstalled on my dell Inspiron N4110. I added
4GB of DDR3 1333MHZ speed memory. My processor is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2330M CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.20GHz.
FYI the windows 7 pro disk and key don't match and pro expires in a few days.
Thanks for your assistance

Hi clinvestigations,
I recommend posting your question in the
Windows 7 forums. The forum where you posted this is focused on discussing general software architecture.
