I have a Dell Inspiron N5110; when I first tried to use this NON-Dell battery on my laptop it didn't work. I turned it on (while I had it plugged into the charger) and I got a message about the battery not being recognized on the start up, something about my adapter not being able to charge the battery. Apparently, Dell might have something built in to prevent non-Dell batteries from being used - I really don't know. Obviously I didn't want to shell out fifty bucks on one of their batteries so I surfed the web for a way to make this battery work and actually found one.
Control Panel - System Properties - Device Manager - Batteries - Uninstall driver for Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
After that, to prevent Windows Update from re-installing the driver, go to Computer - System Properties - Advanced System Settings - Hardware - Device Installation Settings, then change it so it doesn't update automatically.

I have an old Dell Inspiron 1521 which was extremely sluggish. Everything was wait wait wait. I was ready to junk it.

Decided to throughly clean the system with a reinstall and new drivers. Still fairly slow.

So I said what the heck, let's try replacing one of the 512MB (there are two memory slots in the Inspiron) memory modules with a 2GB Crucial unit for about $35 and see what happens.

WOw! While it's not anywhere being super speedy since replacing the memory card I no longer have to wait ages for programs to load.

Later this month I'll order another 2GB and it should be good for another few years with decent performance.

If you are not sure how to replace the memory just go to YouTube and there are videos showing you how. It's easy! Just be careful not to get any electrical static on the card because that will fry it. Make sure to touch a metal ground on the computer as you handle the memory.

This docking station has issues with my laptop and monitors.  It doesn't discover the monitors when the laptop is powered on.  I need to unplug the USB-c input to the computer and then once it powers up, the usb input can be plugged in and it will discover the monitors.  But if you just did this the computer won't switch from the wireless internet connection to the hardwired ethernet input unless you now put the computer in sleep mode and then wake it up.  I only found this combination to get it to work after much trial and error and hours on the phone with tech support who said it just wasn't compatible with my Dell laptop.  Dell products not compatible with Dell products?  Wow, they need to work on that.

I'm considering returning it and trying a non-dell docking station.

This is PC is nice looking but I am still testing this computer.  My is from Amazon and it has 8 GB memory and 256GB hard disk, touch screen, and Windows 10 Home version not the Windows 10 Pro version.  So much work so far compared to all my other new PCs in the past 20 years.

Windows 10 Home version does not have Remote Desktop access.

Battery Life- 92% 6 hours 15 min remaining with my setting and the number changed to 92% 7 hours 30 min remaining after few minutes.  91% 13 hours 44 minutes as I waited for few more minutes without doing anything on the computer ...etc.

Problem 1:  Can not get connected to wifi after "shut down":
I was able to start the computer the very first time and got my wifi connection and installed skype without any problem.  I "shut down" the computer for the night.  Next morning, I was not able to get my wifi connection - I have "limited access" for my wifi and it said my wifi is "public" not "private".  After researching on the internet with my old computer and saw many different fixes which I did not want to try on my new computer.  I tried "restart" and the wifi was able to connect without any problem so I know it is not my router and it is the new PC.  Finally I found one solution on the internet I was willing to try and it worked so far:
Right click on "window start icon", Device Manager, Network Adapters, select the network card (Broadcom 802.11ac...), Power Management, UNCHECKED the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".  This fixed my wifi problem when using "shut down" not "restart".
Problem 2:  " Screen (computer) did not work after waking up from sleep while connected to the Dell D3100 docking station":
After fixing problem 1, I moved on to test the PC using the Dell docking station without any external devices.  I had to press the "power" to start the PC.  The keyboards lighted up but the screen was black the whole time and I was not able to do anything.  After pressing "power" several times and disconnected the docking station, I was able to start up the computer.  I tried the same fix as problem 1, System, Device Manager, Network Adapters, select the docking station (Dell GigabitEthernet), Power Management, UNCHECKED the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

I will be installing Office 2013 next.

Nice little performance boost for my old, Dell laptop. (Inspiron 1150) Had 512MB (2-256MB) originally.

I've got this laptop and have since upgraded it to 4GB or RAM and have installed Windows 7.

I didn't have problems with this laptop until I upgraded to Windows 7 and unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't seem to focus much on future Windows  driver support once the first round of Toshiba drivers are out and Toshiba doesn't seem to resolve problems that arise as this issue seems to have been reported on several sites.

Using the OEM Toshiba Nvidia drivers for Windows 7 x64 I'm not able to resolve this graphics driver problem... the solution is to use the Windows Vista x64 drivers.

I was kind of forced to buy this laptop as my options were limited... It replaced an even more infamous laptop maker, Sager!

I think I'll be sticking with my PC brand of choice next time I'll be looking at an Dell XPS 17!

After approximately 38 hours on the phone with Dell's Alienware tech support, I'm yet to get this to work.  I have an Nvidia graphics card that Dell says will work, but the graphics amplifier is never recognized by the laptop.  I'm pretty piss at this point.

Everything looked awesome, until I ran an index on the specs of the laptop, and found out mine has a 2.4 GHZ processor instead of a 3.4 GHZ processor.

I recently bought this memory for my Studio 1749 and my laptop won't work with it. Very discouraged. After speaking with Dell technicians they advised me that I had the correct memory and that the module must be defective. I purchased a new module and still am unable to load Windows with the new memory. Pretty sure nothing is wrong with the memory. I am seating it correctly. I updated my BIOS. TIre of the BSOD. Currently running the old memory. Any advice?

It charges my laptop, but during boot up, I get an error message saying it's not a genuine dell charger and that it may not charge my computer

It is not as fast as my other Dells when I got them.  With it being brand new, it sure is slow.

Since I put the hard drive I purchased from Amazon, my laptop started to act more better, later I found out, I need to purchase more memory for it to make it faster, one memory stick burned out, working on 512 only right now.

When I first received the laptop I had a small issue with 2 keys not always working on the keyboard. Then as time progressed a few more keys didn't work, this is unacceptable for a new product

I have folllowed all the procedures for the correct use of new batteries. The thing is that when I have the battery tottally charged and proceed to use the battery on my IBM Lenovo 3000 N100, my lap top simply turns off. The battery purchased has come with some deffects, so I cannot use it.

i bought my ispiron in the UK in march, the moment i took it out the box and booted it up it was extremely slow, i mean i have to wait minutes to load up internet explorer, or open a page or tab, or any other program.

very frustrating to work with and not a very productive way to use your time.

i will not buy dell again.

It's been over a month since I bought it and I still haven't been able to actually use it. Waiting on my second replacement from dell.
