Dell Latitude 9000 Series: Looking for replacement battery Dell Latitude 9410

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 08:22:25 -0700

I see there are two battery types offered for Latitude 9000 series, but neither are written as compatible with the 9410. Is this true? Are there any batteries available that could replace the 9410? Especially since there is a nice replacement guide written specifically for this model :)

Thank you!

Dell Latitude 5400: Dell Latitude 5400 BIOS Administrator Password Reset - Second Hand Device

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 11:40:21 -0700

I purchased a second-hand Dell Latitude 5400 (UK used), but the BIOS is locked with an administrator password. I cannot change boot settings to install a new OS.

I have already tried:

1. Removing the CMOS/coin-cell battery for several minutes (did not clear the password).

2. Entering the wrong password to get a hint (I have the Service Tag, but the master password generators I found online haven't worked yet).

Is there a specific jumper on the motherboard for this model to clear the PSWD, or is the password stored in a non-volatile chip that requires a BIOS chip programmer to clear? Any advice from technicians who have handled this specific model would be greatly appreciated.

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 Latitude 5510: Should I buy 68Wh 7.6V 4gvmp or 68Wh 15.2V 3HWPP?

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 04:43:01 -0700

Hello !

Right now I have a dying 42Wh battery in my laptop and I would like to swap it with a 68Wh but I don't which one I should buy. I saw a lot of videos with people who has a 3hwpp 68Wh 15.2V but the specification sheet from dell is telling me that the laptop only support 7.6V 68Wh battery so I'm a bit lost here 🥲. I really do not want to fry the computer, it's for a friend

Btw my computer don't look like the one on the ifixit image, the one I have is from ~2020

Thanks for reading and have a good day. And good luck with the heat it's being at the moment !

So... It does this sometimes on random, but most of them are when I'm alt-tabbing from minecraft. The whole Laptop freezes, and showes colorful pixels all over the screen. The keyboard and mouse are completly unresponsive. The only thing I can do is to press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. What can be the cause?

The specs are:

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.
