My E310 Dimension Dell computer is in need of a hard drive sweep. It has an internal HD instead of the disks needed to reformat the computer back to its original state, and I forgot how to do it. I know you need to input a button at the start up screen, but I don't know which.
Help plz, thank youHow do I reformat my Dell using recovery partition?This really depends on what operating system the system shipped with. This link will display instructions for both XP and Vista: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/g鈥?/a>
As per the link, if the system shipped with XP you will just need to press Ctrl and F11 at the Dell screen when the computer first turns on.

How do I reset my Dell Battery Meter?
I just got a new battery for my Dell Latitude D830, its running Windows Vista. I charged the new battery as instructed, and now the meter is inaccurate. The computer will randomly cut off at 47% battery without giving any warning.How do I reset my Dell Battery Meter?You could try charging the battery fully, then allowing it to discharge until it dies. Then charge the battery again with the computer off until it fully charges. Other than that, there is no other way. If this does not work, then you may have purchased a faulty battery and need to get another one. Hopefully it has a warranty.rachel zoe collection argus

How do you feel about Dell and their products?
Do you think they rip you off when the warrenty runs out on a computer? In my opinion Dell doesn't really help out that much. I wanted to know if anybody has contacted them and really hasn't had full satisfaction with their serviceHow do you feel about Dell and their products?Hi There,
If you really want a good computer have one built for you at a local computer shop.
Or better yet buy a barebones system and build it yourself. You will learn more doing that than a year at school. After booting it up and installing the operating system you can be proud that it is yours and you actually built it yourself. If you need some help you can always ask and learn.
Either way::::
You can pick your operating system (and get a genuine OEM operating system disk that you can actually use). Also the shop will not install any of the "try me buy me" applications that expire in 30 days and constantly ask you to update.
You can tell the tech what you want to use your computer for and they know which parts to install that actually work without filing at the end of the warrantly period.
When you have a problem the techs there will actually be able to help you. Since they (or you) built it they(or you) want it to work better than any other computer made overseas.
My son who works in computers would not even interview for a job at Dell because he has had bad experience with their products.
Some of their equipment can only be replaced with dell replacements. They order parts that only fit Dell computers. There support is not in this country and hard to deal with.
Dell computers do work though so can't dismiss them entirely.
Hope this helps,
AlHow do you feel about Dell and their products?yes i bought a dell a while back and not only was the service horrible but they completely over price their computers GO HP!

How long is a Dell inspiron 1501 laptop battery suppose to last?
I just received a Dell inspiron 1501 laptop. The battery lasts about 3 hours.Is that normal and is there a way to make my battery last longer?Also does the first charge determine how long my battery will last?How long is a Dell inspiron 1501 laptop battery suppose to last?~3 Hours sounds normal to me for a 15.4" Widescreen LCD Laptop.
You can however boost your battery life by configuring your profile and using cool and quiet from AMD to keep your processor running slower. The slower it operates, the less power it takes.
To adjust your hardware power profile, go to your control panel, select power options and decrease shutdown times for monitor, hard drives, etc.
You may or may not want to do this, but that is an option.
An alternative would be to get a backup battery and carry it with you. A lot of laptop users who need it for an extended period of time use this.
Take Care,
KenHow long is a Dell inspiron 1501 laptop battery suppose to last?Hey mate. There are 2 batterys for the inspiron 1501.

I have a Dell Dimension 2350 computer with the monitor that came with the package. I want to upgrade to a larger screen.

And do I have to stick to Dell?Can I upgrade to any size monitor, any brand, for my 4-yr old Dell desktop or are there limitations?Your particular Dell has a 15-pin VGA port. VGA is an industrywide standard, which means your computer will work with any monitor with a standard VGA input, no matter what brand it is.
So just make sure whichever monitor you are buying has a VGA port, and you are good to go.
Keep in mind some of the latest monitors are DVI-only, HDMI-only, or DisplayPort-only. Those have no VGA ports and will not work with your computer. That's why it's important for you to make sure the monitor has a VGA port before you buy it.Can I upgrade to any size monitor, any brand, for my 4-yr old Dell desktop or are there limitations?

Both are far too overpriced to be worth considering.
Try looking at an alienware computer then find a similar one somewhere like newegg. You will see how much alienware charge.
Also You have the problem with those two companies using parts just to increase their profits. For an example a I7 920 processor is pretty much exactly the same as a 965 extreme edition. But the second one costs several hundred more. So you pay a fortune for a barely noticable increase in performance.
There are alot of traps that you can easily fall into with those companies like the procesor one. I would really aviod them.Which do you think Dell or Alienware is much better?Dell owns alienware.
But alienware is much betterWhich do you think Dell or Alienware is much better?
Take the Dell XPS and an equally configured Alienware PC, the alienware is more expensive, but it uses higher quality parts. It's mostly the brand you're paying for. It's like comparing a Shelby GT500KR to a Lamborghini Gallardo. The Ford is $56,000, and just as fast as the Lambo. The lamborghini costs $240,000, its made from better materials, and hey... it's a lamborghini. If you could afford either one, but only one, would you go with the shelby? probably not.

The lamborghini costs $240,000, its made from better materials, and hey... it's a lamborghini. If you could afford either one, but only one, would you go with the shelby? probably not.

Doubt it's unsafe.
Google Disassemble dell 15r. Maybe add Screen shots.
You'l need maybe $30 of simple tools like precision screwdrivers %26amp; a basic pc tool kit like Radio Shack sells.
Basically you'l remove the keybrd and check it out.
Have some glue on hand and big elastic band to hold it together while glue dries.
And yes, forget Best Buy(ers Beware!). I've never seen a company so brazenly hostile to customers.

How do i setup a wireless Internet Connection on my new DELL laptop?
hi, i just bought a new laptop and today is the day i got it in the mail. its a Dell Vostro A860 laptop.
What do i need to buy to get a wireless internet connection? am i supposed to go to best buy or something to buy those USB port things? Please help :]How do i setup a wireless Internet Connection on my new DELL laptop?Your new laptop is wireless ready.
You just need to connect to your wireless network. If you don't have a wireless network, buy a wireless router.How do i setup a wireless Internet Connection on my new DELL laptop?
The dell laptop you have includes 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. The next question is what you're going to connect the laptop to? Unless you already have this set up, or are using a Wi-Fi hotspot or have close neighbors with unprotected Wi-Fi, you're going to have to set up your own. What you will need is a Wireless Router. The router acts as an internet radio station, broadcasting the signal that your laptop (the radio) receives. There are 3 speeds of Wi-Fi b,g, and n, with n being the fastest. Since your laptop does not support n, the most you need is a b/g router (though n is backwards compatible). Keep in mind, though that wireless networking is much more error-prone than wired ones. In my personal experience, I have a network problem every 4 months though this may be due to the large number of things depending on the network (3 old computers 1 laptop 2 iPod touches and a Wii) and the fact that the network is quite old in computer terms. In short, you do not need to buy anything as long as you have Wi-Fi already in the area.How do i setup a wireless Internet Connection on my new DELL laptop?If your laptop comes with a wireless card built in, then you don't need to buy anything. If it does not, then you need to get one. When you get it, attach it to your computer and run the software that it comes with. It will show a list of all the modems nearby. Select yours and then you will have a connection.How do i setup a wireless Internet Connection on my new DELL laptop?

Dell with Virus and internet connection problems can't download spyware what to do?
I have a Dell, it won't connect to Internet and keeps freezing up. I did a scan it has several viruses. My subscription is expired, I bought spyware, firewall etc through my Internet service provider but I am unable to download due to internet connection problems.
i called Dell they want $50-250 to restore back to factory settings. Unless I pay 250 possibility of all data lost.

Dell with Virus and internet connection problems can't download spyware what to do?
Go out and buy a real anti-virus program. Buy either Norton or McAfee. Spyware only deletes spyware. You could also let a computer repair shop delete the viruses for you and return your computer to normal. Restore points don't always work with certain types of viruses but give a restore point a try, just restore your computer to before it got infected if you can. This option has worked for me 98% of the time.Dell with Virus and internet connection problems can't download spyware what to do?REMOVING ROGUE SOFTWARE AND TROJANS:
Try to download, update and scan your computer with Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware, delete what ever they find, run SmitfraudFix if this fails to completely remove the infection, all the software below is completely free and safe to use.
If your infection is proving very hard to remove download then update Avast and run a boot-scan (click schedule boot-scan and restart your PC).

How come my dell desktop cant access the internet?
I'm fully aware that I'm not contacting dell support but I figure maybe someone out there can help me. To get straight to the point my desktop cant connect to the internet. I know its not my connection or ethernet cord because when I plug it into my netbook it works fine. When I plug the ethernet cord into my desktop it will read "limited or no connectivity" and I cant access the net. Anyone know what could be wrong?How come my dell desktop cant access the internet?look in device manager to be sure your NIC is working properly. If not go to Dells website, download and install the latest drivers. Lots of people are upgrading to Windows 7 and finding out that there are no drivers available.
Next get to a command prompt (cmd.exe).
Type "ipconfig /release "
then type "ipconfig /renew

What Which net books are fully accessible, i know the dell mini is but what about the HP one and others?
just need to know because i want to be able to fully upgrade it if i want to but i dont really want a dell, thanks. if you dont know what i mean, i want one were i can buy a better graphics card, better ram etc. i know some come with an intregrated graphics card and thats not what i want because you can't change it.What Which net books are fully accessible, i know the dell mini is but what about the HP one and others?NO netbook has a replaceable graphics card. Almost no notebooks do either. If you want replaceable graphics, look at Gateway's P line of notebooks or, if you measure your money by the weight of the bills, look at an Alienware notebook (they're in the $8,000 range, fully loaded).
About the only things you can upgrade - in some netbooks - is the hard drive (in those that have a real hard drive) and the RAM.

You just need to connect to your wireless network. If you don't have a wireless network, buy a wireless router.How do i setup a wireless Internet Connection on my new DELL laptop?
The dell laptop you have includes 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. The next question is what you're going to connect the laptop to? Unless you already have this set up, or are using a Wi-Fi hotspot or have close neighbors with unprotected Wi-Fi, you're going to have to set up your own. What you will need is a Wireless Router. The router acts as an internet radio station, broadcasting the signal that your laptop (the radio) receives. There are 3 speeds of Wi-Fi b,g, and n, with n being the fastest. Since your laptop does not support n, the most you need is a b/g router (though n is backwards compatible). Keep in mind, though that wireless networking is much more error-prone than wired ones. In my personal experience, I have a network problem every 4 months though this may be due to the large number of things depending on the network (3 old computers 1 laptop 2 iPod touches and a Wii) and the fact that the network is quite old in computer terms. In short, you do not need to buy anything as long as you have Wi-Fi already in the area.How do i setup a wireless Internet Connection on my new DELL laptop?If your laptop comes with a wireless card built in, then you don't need to buy anything. If it does not, then you need to get one. When you get it, attach it to your computer and run the software that it comes with. It will show a list of all the modems nearby. Select yours and then you will have a connection.How do i setup a wireless Internet Connection on my new DELL laptop?
I don't know of any laptop with out a wireless network card. But you need to have the internet and hook it up to a router.

Dell with Virus and internet connection problems can't download spyware what to do?
Go out and buy a real anti-virus program. Buy either Norton or McAfee. Spyware only deletes spyware. You could also let a computer repair shop delete the viruses for you and return your computer to normal. Restore points don't always work with certain types of viruses but give a restore point a try, just restore your computer to before it got infected if you can. This option has worked for me 98% of the time.Dell with Virus and internet connection problems can't download spyware what to do?REMOVING ROGUE SOFTWARE AND TROJANS:
Try to download, update and scan your computer with Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware, delete what ever they find, run SmitfraudFix if this fails to completely remove the infection, all the software below is completely free and safe to use.
If your infection is proving very hard to remove download then update Avast and run a boot-scan (click schedule boot-scan and restart your PC).

I am on a budget so I prefer not to spend alot. Note this PC does not have the duel core intell processor. Any ideas?What kind of video card can I put inside my dell dimension E5210?The Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE, is an integrated motherboard GPU, you can't physically upgrade it. You would have to look at the motherboard by physically opening the case, or using third-party software like Cupid's PC Wizard.

Can I install Windows 7 on my old Dell 700M laptop if dell does not offer the drivers?
I would like to upgrade my older Dell 700M 12" laptop. I have given it new life with an upgrade 320GB HD and more memory. My question is if I upgrade the operating system from Windows XP to Windows 7, can it still operate at optimal if I Dell does not offer the drivers?Can I install Windows 7 on my old Dell 700M laptop if dell does not offer the drivers?Yes you can install Win7 on that. You will have issues with the graphics I can tell you that right now, I had the same issue with my D400. Win7 has the drivers for everything but the graphics card. For the graphics card use the link below.Can I install Windows 7 on my old Dell 700M laptop if dell does not offer the drivers?Yes, a few bugs with the drivers but driveragent.com (have to pay i think $10 for it) to replace all the old drivers with newer ones. But you may need to change the core you're running to atleast something new because it will lag like hell if you don't. And then you have to make sure you have a new graphics card, or atleast a good one in it. : ) But yes, it is possible, for like...what, I think its $150 for the windows 7 cd? I dunno, go check it up at bestbuy.com to find out the price. :DCan I install Windows 7 on my old Dell 700M laptop if dell does not offer the drivers?First off. if you can't find the drivers, the PC WON"T fully function and secondly, even if you did find drivers, it would run like crap.
Why wont my Dell laptop connect to the internet?
I just bought a Dell Inspiron 15 and it comes with a built in wireless card. When setting up my computer, I was able to connect to my homes wireless network. I am connected to the internet, but it wont load any websites. Is there something wrong with the computer or am I doing something wrong?Why wont my Dell laptop connect to the internet?Try going to the support website of Dell for internet troubleshooting, I believe you are using another computer because you have internet on right now, if not you won't be able to create this thread right?
The support link is:
http://support.dell.com/support/topics/g鈥?/a>
Then just follow the instructions and if ever you need support with that, if you still have an active warranty you can avail of that and call the Dell Technical Support. If not, you can still call but you need to pay $59 troubleshooting fee (non-resolution based, just to help diagnose the problem)
The hardware technician needs to isolate the problem from a hardware to a software issue. When it is hardware related, then you need to purchase that since your warranty is already expired, otherwise (active warranty) that technician will send you a replacement part and if a technician is needed to install the part, an onsite technician will also be sent (if you warranty covers it - Next Business Day Onsite Warranty). If your warranty is a Return to Depot warrranty then you have an option to send the system to the Dell Depot to be repaired by technicians again for free if you still have warranty and for a fee if not.
Then, if your problem is software related, like if configuration issues, virus infection or Windows operating system reinstallation, then you need to call up the Dell Solution Station for software support. Your Basic Hardware Warranty (as the name implies) doesn't cover software issues. Kindly check www.dell.com/warranty for information on Dell Warranty.
I do recommend calling your ISP first to check the functionality of your network devices and their servers as well. So that when you call up dell, the troubleshooting will be flawless. I also recommend that you really call dell since it is the manufacturer of the computer. They know better that those technicians out there who say that they are better than the ones who made them machines.

What's the most economical way to upgrade my Dell Studio Slim Desktop?
I just got a new Studio Slim with a really fast processor and a lot of memory, but the power supply is only 120W. I'd like to get 500W of power and upgrade the memory card, but the dell power supplies are like $400 and I'm not sure if another power supply will fit.What's the most economical way to upgrade my Dell Studio Slim Desktop?They should fit just fine.
Best bet is to take it out and take to the store and compare with aftermarket one if you want to be sure.
If at least 3 screws fit you are ok.What's the most economical way to upgrade my Dell Studio Slim Desktop?Sorry but i think you can put another power supply.

Why wont my Dell laptop connect to the internet?
I just bought a Dell Inspiron 15 and it comes with a built in wireless card. When setting up my computer, I was able to connect to my homes wireless network. I am connected to the internet, but it wont load any websites. Is there something wrong with the computer or am I doing something wrong?Why wont my Dell laptop connect to the internet?Try going to the support website of Dell for internet troubleshooting, I believe you are using another computer because you have internet on right now, if not you won't be able to create this thread right?
The support link is:
http://support.dell.com/support/topics/g鈥?/a>
Then just follow the instructions and if ever you need support with that, if you still have an active warranty you can avail of that and call the Dell Technical Support. If not, you can still call but you need to pay $59 troubleshooting fee (non-resolution based, just to help diagnose the problem)
The hardware technician needs to isolate the problem from a hardware to a software issue. When it is hardware related, then you need to purchase that since your warranty is already expired, otherwise (active warranty) that technician will send you a replacement part and if a technician is needed to install the part, an onsite technician will also be sent (if you warranty covers it - Next Business Day Onsite Warranty). If your warranty is a Return to Depot warrranty then you have an option to send the system to the Dell Depot to be repaired by technicians again for free if you still have warranty and for a fee if not.
Then, if your problem is software related, like if configuration issues, virus infection or Windows operating system reinstallation, then you need to call up the Dell Solution Station for software support. Your Basic Hardware Warranty (as the name implies) doesn't cover software issues. Kindly check www.dell.com/warranty for information on Dell Warranty.
I do recommend calling your ISP first to check the functionality of your network devices and their servers as well. So that when you call up dell, the troubleshooting will be flawless. I also recommend that you really call dell since it is the manufacturer of the computer. They know better that those technicians out there who say that they are better than the ones who made them machines.

What will be the first date I can order a Dell computer that will ship loaded with Vista?
I see that the "retail release date" is January 28. Is that for buying the software in a retail package at Best Buy as well as buying computers loaded with it? I don't want to mess around with upgrading. What will be the first day a computer (specifically, a Dell) can arrive at my home loaded with Vista?What will be the first date I can order a Dell computer that will ship loaded with Vista?I don't think they're saying yet because they have to rely on M$ to ship the Vista product on time.

You will have issues with the graphics I can tell you that right now, I had the same issue with my D400. Win7 has the drivers for everything but the graphics card. For the graphics card use the link below.Can I install Windows 7 on my old Dell 700M laptop if dell does not offer the drivers?Yes, a few bugs with the drivers but driveragent.com (have to pay i think $10 for it) to replace all the old drivers with newer ones. But you may need to change the core you're running to atleast something new because it will lag like hell if you don't. And then you have to make sure you have a new graphics card, or atleast a good one in it. : ) But yes, it is possible, for like...what, I think its $150 for the windows 7 cd? I dunno, go check it up at bestbuy.com to find out the price. :DCan I install Windows 7 on my old Dell 700M laptop if dell does not offer the drivers?First off. if you can't find the drivers, the PC WON"T fully function and secondly, even if you did find drivers, it would run like crap.

I have a dell Inspiron 1525 and I have no idea how to use the webcam built on it. How do I access the program?
Inspiron 1525 Dell laptop. I want to take pictures and make videos, how do I do it?I have a dell Inspiron 1525 and I have no idea how to use the webcam built on it. How do I access the program?Dell normally ships a piece of software with their systems that include webcams, called Dell Webcam Manager. There should be an icon in your System Tray (near the clock) for it. If you right click on that and select "Launch Webcam Center", this will allow you to take photos %26amp; videos and use any other features like face tracking, motion detection etc.
If you don't see or can't find the icon in the System Tray, click on Start and type "Dell Webcam Center" into the search tray. The actual executable file that you are after is normally:
"C:\Program Files\Dell\Dell Webcam Center\LiveCamDe.exe"
Additionally, the webcam should be "discoverable" by other programs that use Webcams, such as many instant messaging programs and other 3rd party webcam software.I have a dell Inspiron 1525 and I have no idea how to use the webcam built on it.

Installed windows xp homer sp1 onto an hp using a dell reinstall disk, now i need a product key?
I used a Reinstallation disk for Dell windows XP home with service pack 1 (but upgraded to sp3 since then), but I put it on a HP computer. My 30 days have run out, and I now need a product key to access windows. How can i obtain a free one of these?Installed windows xp homer sp1 onto an hp using a dell reinstall disk, now i need a product key?check on your dell computer and see if there is a little green sticker there with the license key on it. You can also download utilities which will dig out your license key from your other computer. I think, however, that Microsoft Genuine is going to get you! Their bots run all the time to verify keys and hardware and when they find that the same key is on two different sets of hardware, they are going to shut one or both computers down.
There is no such thing as a free lunch when it comes to Microsoft.Installed windows xp homer sp1 onto an hp using a dell reinstall disk, now i need a product key?You will need exactly the key for your disk, then it will refuse to activate as the site will see it was installed on a different machine. It will also cancel the original activation, making the disk useless even for recovery. You will need to buy a disk.Installed windows xp homer sp1 onto an hp using a dell reinstall disk, now i need a product key?That was a really bad move. You CANNOT use another oem disk from another computer to be installed onto different computer. OEM operating system disc are marred to the computer they came with. it all different software and drivers. The dell and hp are to different computer.
You just really screwed yourself over big time. You need to contact hp and get the correct hp cd for your computer, otherwsie you are going to have big time program.Installed windows xp homer sp1 onto an hp using a dell reinstall disk, now i need a product key?
If I remember correctly, when using an oem disc on another brand of pc, the installation will prompt for a product key...if your pc is indeed an HP there should be a product key label on the pc, but you will need to call microsoft to have the key enabled...unless they've changed their policy.

Is it possible to transfer Windows Vista from my old Dell to my new PC?
My old Dell came with Vista installed. Now I'm building a new PC and want to install Vista on it. Dell only gave me the Dell reinstall CDs, which I think just give a message saying they won't install on a PC that is not Dell. Since I paid for Vista and have the serial/activation info, isn't there a way to get it on a new PC?Is it possible to transfer Windows Vista from my old Dell to my new PC?No. What you have is an OEM copy, which can only be used on Dell hardware.
Also, once activated, Vista (all versions, not just OEM) is tied to that hardware. When it's activated it connects to the MS servers and registers the key as well as information on the computer, like motherboard and CPU serial number. If you install it again, it has to activate again. When it connects to the server, it sees that the serial number has already been activated. It checks the hardware information on record to see if it's being reinstalled on the same machine. If yes, it activates. If not, it doesn't. This is why replacing one or more components in the same machine can make Vista think it's pirated.Is it possible to transfer Windows Vista from my old Dell to my new PC?You "paid for" an OEM version - that not only can't be installed on a different kind of computer, it can only be activated on the SAME computer it came on. There's no way to do what you want.Is it possible to transfer Windows Vista from my old Dell to my new PC?yes the easiest way is to copy for partition, use this it works great and you don't have to reinstall everything elseIs it possible to transfer Windows Vista from my old Dell to my new PC?
No there is not.
The version of Vista which comes on your Dell is filled with Dell drivers and propiretary software.
Even if there was a way for you to extract Vista and install it onto your new computer, you wouldn't want to.
Dell makes sure a lot of additional (useless) software is installed onto your computer every time you use their reformatting process.
If you want Vista, either pirate a copy on the net with a valid CD Keygen. Or if your moral standing is too high for something like that, buy a fresh copy.

How to install an exturnal dvd drive on a dell 610 labtop?
I have a dell exturnal dvd rom and my labtop new i cant get it to workHow to install an exturnal dvd drive on a dell 610 labtop?try this website http://www.autodvdgps.comHow to install an exturnal dvd drive on a dell 610 labtop?Sometimes these can be tricky. First of all make sure that you've installed the software for it if it came with any. If you do that and it still doesn't work, it may either be dead, your computer won't support it for some reason, or if it gets all its power from usb (doesn't plug into the wall), the problem can sometimes be that the cord is too long and the drive can't get enough power from it. This especially might be the case if it turns on and everything, but acts funny, like turning on then off or making a clicking noise as if it's searching a disk (or something similar).minn kota driving school

How does Dell Media Direct work or start up?
Is Dell Media Direct suppose to work without starting up windows?How does Dell Media Direct work or start up?Yes, Dell media direct works without windows running, On your computer, there should be a button that looks like a home or Hut. If you push that even when the system is turned off, it starts Dell Media direct. It is a software for videos, music and pictures.
It is designed to work that way, so that you can still watch videos and play music if the system is not booting into windows or you dont want it to boot into windows. That way all the resources (CPU and memory) is just available for playing videos and music for better performance.
It is just another application that you can use even if the windows are running or they are not.
I hope that helps.

Sounds like to me you keep the battery's in the laptop all the time. When you do this it kills the battery life on them. You are going to have to replace your battery's.

How do I perform a PC Restore on my Dell?

I don't think there is a laptop that doesn't come with speakers.
If there is any mention of sound ANYWHERE in the description then I'd say you can't be assured you're fine. But I'd be pretty confident that they have speakers anyways.On the dell build your own computers do they come with built in speakers in the laptop?All laptops come with built in speakersOn the dell build your own computers do they come with built in speakers in the laptop?

Dell will stand on their heads or leave out the speakers if you want them to.
hello you ok ?
i would really think so that any dell laptop that you buy even if its a custom build would have speakers pre installed when the laptops being built.
dell are renowned for there quality and exceptional build quality
iam using a dell desktop right now and its a great machine to use.
i havent had much experience of dell laptops but i know someone who has and i just asked him for you and he said yes they should do that as part of the service your paying for from dell.
a lot of people dont like dells but my personal experience has been a very positive one and i have even sold ex corporate dell desktops to people and no one has ever been unhappy with a system i sold them.
iam a system builder and registered with the partner programme that microsoft operates.
if you need any further help just message me ok ?
good luck and happy computing everyone,chrisblack ops zombie maps translate japanese to english

What is the name of the song on the Dell commercial?
It's the newest one I've seen, there's a line of people and they go in one door and when they come out of the other they're all dancing. It says to go to the Dell website (which I don't see how if you don't have one of their computers already) and design your own computer.What is the name of the song on the Dell commercial?I Love You Ono_Stereo Total

How can I get my dell printer to recognize its own cartridge and print a document?
I got this dell printer along with my new dell computer. The computer won't work with my HP printer so I went ahead and used the dell printer.
It actually worked great until I used up the black ink cartridge.
That鈥檚 when I found out I had to order it directly from dell and have it shipped to me.
So when it came I installed it and the printer flashed the message 'black cartridge incorrect' and would not print.
No help from dell, the customer service guy in India tried to tell me the solution to my problem is to buy more cartridges and wait 5 more days for them to be delivered.
I finally got it to work by shutting it down, unplugging it, taking the brand new black cartridge out and putting it back in again, plugging it back in and turning it back on.
Now, out of the clear blue, the printer decides the color cartarage is incorrect. even though it has been working fine all along.

.How can I get my dell printer to recognize its own cartridge and print a document?Hello,
As what you are, I'm a Dell user. I have a Dell 944 AIO printer and I didn't have any problems with it whatsoever. Sorry about your experience. If I were you, here are the steps I would do:
1. Shut down your PC and the printer completely, and unpluy all the wires;
2. Restart your PC and the printer;
3. Delet your AIO center completely and then reinstall it by using your Dell CD;
4. Load your ink again following the steps.
And then, I think you will be fine!How can I get my dell printer to recognize its own cartridge and print a document?
Hi, I'm sorry, I can't help you, but if misery loves company, you have a friend here. I have a dell 924 photo, and I know what you mean about ordering only from dell. I used a service called Printpal.com and they always sent me cartridges that worked fine, this time I tried their recycle your own cartridge as I am big on that sort of thing. When I got them, my little picture that shows the round ink levels immediately showed as the Black ink almost empty, and wouldn't print, when trying different things it also said to remove the tape, even though the tape was off (color works fine) so I sent it back and Printpal sent me a new (recycled) one. It is doing the same thing. I e-mailed Printpal again and the woman responded that this is a problem they are having with dell printers. Oh, and when I contacted dell about my billing (I stupidly put this Inspiron 1200 laptop on outrageous credit and would like to throw it out the window) the guy from India was very rude, at least the part of his speaking I could understand. Believe it or not, last night I bought a Lexmark Z735 printer that uses only one cartridge for both black and color at Odd Lots for 29.99. It even came with the ink cartridge! You may want to check out your local Odd Lots/Big Lots store, I am pleased as punch with it! Sorry I couldn't help with your problem. MarcieHow can I get my dell printer to recognize its own cartridge and print a document?Call tech support and demand they tell you where you can get the latest drivers for your model of printer.How can I get my dell printer to recognize its own cartridge and print a document?
I think your printer is having a problem with the cartridge identification circuitry.
Either that, or some ink may have gotten on the contacts and the signal is mixed up or corrupted, so the printer thinks that its an incorrect cartridge.
Turn the printer off, remove both cartridges, and clean the contacts thoroughly, ( on the cartridges, as well as on the holder ) using a contact cleaner, or rubbing alcohol.
Hopefully that will resolve the problem.
And as for the ordering direct from DELL, that does not sound right. Most stores like Circuit City, Best Buy, etc should have the cartridges or compatible ones that you can buy.How can I get my dell printer to recognize its own cartridge and print a document?I too have a Dell 962 printer and am experiencing the same problems. Mine is currently under warranty and Have tried drivers and software fixes all that are useless. I have actually been stupid enough to order new ink cartridges to no avail. My best Idea for you as some one who once thought the world of dell, buy a lexmark at best buy instead. Also for the 962 you have no choice but to order ink straight from dell since no store carries this cartridges but get the higher end (read slightly more pricey) cartridges as the hold close to twice the ink for the mild cost increaese, that is if you keep the dell printer. I have tried all of the above steps and have been left with no other resources as to why this keeps happening.
