Alienware 17 R2 Windows 10 drivers for OnScreen Display Adaptor and Kionix Free Fall Sensor
Hi,
I have an Alienware 17 R2 that I purchased from Dell. I recently did a clean install of Windows 10 Professional. After installing Windows 10, I used Dell's online utility to detect drivers (or updates) appropriate for my system. Doing this took care of all of the "Unknown Devices" that are listed in Device manager except for two. The two that remain have the following Hardware IDs:
First Unknown Device:
ACPI\VEN_CPL&DEV_0002
ACPI\CPL0002
*CPL0002
Second Unknown Device:
ACPI_VEN_KIOX&DEV_0095
ACPI_KIOX0095
*KIOX0095
---------------------
When I run the automatic detection tool, it says "No driver updates found. Your system has the most recent updates." After searching in the dell forums for posts related to similar issues, I believe that the first unknown device is related to an "Alienware On-Screen Display Application" and the second unknown device is related to a "Kionix Free Fall Sensor Driver". For both of these, the only drivers I can find on the Dell website say that they are supported for Windows 7 and 8.1, but not Windows 10.
Can anyone tell me where I can find Windows 10 drivers for these unknown devices?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Dell Latitude E5530 won't start
Hi everyone,
My Dell E5530 won't start, screen remains black and I have hard drive light solid, wifi and battery blinking.
Manual of E5530 don't give this case of blinking but knowledge base of E6540 says that a problem with memory detection, so I tried to use others memory from another E5530 without success. I tried to connect VGA port to an external monitor but the monitor remains black. And also tried to disconnect the hard drive without success.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

AlienRespawn broke my computer
AlienRespawn has actually bothered me for some time, it has started once or twice before after closing my computer. I usually handled this through restarting my computer, but roughly a week ago I decided to do what the computer told me to.
Upon letting the program load for a few hours I was able to start my computer up again, only to be greeted with the in-ability to use any audio function or open any .exe file nor their sources.
At first I thought this was due to the drivers being messed up, but after a few hours of trouleshooting Microsoft's tech support confirmed it was due to the OS being messed up after the use of AlienRespawn.
I'm still trying to fix this, and any form of help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi fellas,
I just got my new XPS 13 but as I am really afraid of not screwing up the battery do you think that there would be any problems if I just remove it since now I am using it only at home?

Dell Inspiron 15 (5547) AC Adapter
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 (5447) and recently damaged the end of the charger/AC Adapter. I am looking for a genuine replacement online and the model for the charger is "LA65NS2-01." I tried to search for one online but everywhere I checked, reviews say it did not work after a short amount of time and the charger was not genuine. I tried to contact Dell for support but because I'm not in warranty, they cannot help me find an AC Adapter. It's just the AC Adapter and Dell cannot help me so I have come to the forum.
Thank you to any responses in advance.

Touch-pad problem on inspiron 15r 5537
My Inspiron 15r 5537 touchpad is not showing in device manager, control panel and task bar.
this happened when I switched my laptop from window 8 to window 7. i again reinstalled window 8 but the device manager just shows the regular mouse and no touch pad.
It is awful not to have the gestures as it makes browsing too much difficult.
there is no app or software to configure touch pad or gestures. the normal touchpad is operating okay but gestures are not working and there is no option in control panel to manage or set touchpad i have searched using the search option and manually.
Please help.

inspiron-17-7779-2-in-1-laptop 512Gb SSD
I cannot find an answer to this anywhere. inspiron-17-7779-2-in-1-laptop with 512Gb SSD only. What is the footprint of the single SSD drive. Is it a M.2 drive or 2.5–inch drive? If I buy a cn77903 then I have a 1Tb 2.5–inch SSD drive spare so would like to replace the 512Gb with the 1Tb 2.5–inch drive if it is the right format?

Drivers for Windows 10 on L502X?
I've decided to upgrade my laptop, a 4 year old XPS15, (L502X), and will be replacing the stock hard drive with a new SSD.
So I figured it's time to upgrade the OS, also, from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. My concern is will this laptop be compatible with 10? It doesn't appear that Dell provides any drivers for this OS, even though MS says they are compatible. Has anyone run 10 on this laptop model and if so, where did you find all the necessary drivers? Thank you.

XPS 13 (9360) - advice on some accessories
Have just recently bought an XPS 13 9360 model ( Intel i5, 8gb memory, 256 SSD, Kaby Lake).
Need some advice before ordering some new bits & pieces.
Need to achieve 3 things:
1) link up to an larger external monitor
2) Copy a larger number of music CDs into ITunes folder/ watch DVDs on laptop
3) Link to and store data on an external HDD
Could someone please advise on suitable accessories to achieve these.
Already have a 19" monitor. Do I just need a USB C to HDMI cable? Do I need any other adaptor?
What external optical drive works specifically with the XPS 13 9360? Do the USB ports have enough power output to run a single USB cables optical drive eg. The Dell DW 316
or is there a model that users have found works well with the 9360.
Finally can anyone recommend the best sort of cable to use for linking to and storing data on an external HDD? Can I just use a standard USB cable or is it better with a different type.
Apologies for the basic questions, but I am a bit of a technophobe and have struggled to find the correct answers on the web.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Latitude E5450 system keeps freezing
I am running Linux and Windows 7 (EFI dualboot) on a Dell Latitude E5450 (5450-6693) I bought from a German online shop about a year ago. (With 1 year ProSupport that expired exactly a month ago, hooray...)
It has been running fine in both Linux and Windows until a few days ago when it started crashing. The screen freezes and the hard disk audibly turns off. Need to press power button for four seconds to power off. When I power on again and boot into linux it reports disk corruption (ext4 filesystem, fsck finds orphaned inodes).
There's no discernible pattern as to CPU load, temperature or RAM utilization when it crashes. Crashes are somewhat sporadic - can go several hours without a crash or crash within half an hour of turning it back on.
I haven't used Windows much since it started crashing so I can't say if it happens under Windows too.
I did boot into Windows and start diagnostics using System Detect / SupportAssist. It ran most of the tests, including graphics card diagnostics. At some point the screen turned black. The camera LED flashed several times as if it was testing the camera. The screen stayed black and has now been black for an hour. It does not react to touchpad or keyboard input, although the hard disk appears to be active.
Does anyone have any idea what the issue with either the crashing or the system diagnostics could be?
