Oh my ganesh

i say that because this afternoon i was on the phone with Dell's on hold music from 12pm to 5 pm .. i kid you not....i felt like a slutty ping pong ball.. i bought this Dell Inspiron 15-3521 simply put, the dilema is similar to this thread, i install wi-fi drivers, it asks me to turn on (activate) the bluetooth.. i see no bluetooth button on the keboard so i went to find it in CMOS.. not there so i set the laptop to optiml default and left CMOS, yes i have the realtek card reader drivers installed, yes i uninstalled all the bluetooth devices from network n device manager, yes i rebooted, YES i offered the laptop 152 sacrificial goats to appease the DELL gods

i am using windows 7 Ultimte 64 bit

please help

the laptop came with Linux i think... now although Linux is a vastly superior OS.. i require windows 7 for simplicity and my gaming needs.... ive installed the drivers for the cdrw, intel graphics card, card reader,bios,

I didn't see you mention the chipset, did you install that driver?

I believe Fn+F2 is the wireless key you may be looking for.

 

[CanadianBigfoot]

fn+f2 turns the wifi on.. i understand that it is the same device but the light is on... the tiny led wifi indicator i did spam it...

i am quite certain that i got ALL the drivers from the ding dong dell website... but if you can please simplify those device names, that would help alot.. like sm bus is wat ? an ethernet driver thing ?

I'm not sure why you posted that, none of those drivers were installed.

I thought the links right below each one was pretty self explanatory, SMBus is part of the chipset.

That was the first thing I asked you about, it is probably the most important one to install, which is why I put it at the top.

The one below that is related to the chipset as well (Intel Management Engine)

The one below that is your actual wireless and bluetooth drivers.

Below that are your USB drivers.

Lastly is your ethernet or wired network driver.
