Dell Inspiron 15": WD Scorpian Blue 750 MB Hard disk failed - showing as ASMT 2115

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 16:01:38 -0700

A couple of days back I could not log into Windows 10 due to an error with Windows Error reporting. I tried various things but I could not. So all my data is trapped in the hard disk (WD7500BPKT) .

The hard disk is divided into 3 partitions with Windows etc on one partition.

I was planning to rescue my data by buying an external hard disk. But it shows up as AS2115 / ASMT 2115 USB but I can not see any files.

The box I bought is this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075...

I have attached various pictures.

Can anyone help?

Hi - I have attached a picture of what I get ... it says its uninitialised... I get an option to initialise the disk but I do not want to end up wiping the data....

Dell Inspiron 14 3000: Issue with Network adapter.

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 07:38:43 -0700

I am experiencing a persistent issue with my PC. Whenever I try to connect to a saved Wi-Fi network that has auto-connect enabled, it does not connect properly.

After running the troubleshooter, the connection gets restored. During troubleshooting, the process performs a network driver reset.

Attached are a screenshot of the issue and the driver details of the network adapter being used.

Please let me know if any additional information is needed to help resolve this persistent issue.

Dell Inspiron N4110: Laptop not connecting to wifi

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 00:29:20 -0700

My work laptop is connecting to my home WiFi but is showing “No internet” so I am unable to do anything. My home WiFi is working as other devices are connected so it doesn’t seem to be an issue with the router. I have tried disconnecting from the WiFi network and erasing all the other WiFi networks as well as servers attempts at rebooting. I also tried connecting via Ethernet cable but nothing seems to be working. Just to note I have been connected to the home WiFi with no issues since March 2019 so no idea why it’s happened now. Can anyone help??
