Answers:
The Inspiron N5110 has just one fan on the motherboard. Yes environment temperature does affect the laptops temperature. Thing you can try is clearing any dust from the air vents using a vacum. Try updating your Bios using the below link.

You can also try running a diagnostics on your computer. Press the F12 key at the Dell Logo, select diagnostics and run an extended diagnostics on your computer. You can also run custom tests on selected devices like your fan to check if they are functioning properly. Post back with any error codes.

Dell Inspiron N5110 Bluetooth Problems

Questions:
I have recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 15r n5110 (approx 3 weeks ago)( dell inspiron n5110 battery). but i can not use the bluetooth. I downloaded the driver from Dell ( i'm sure the driver is correct because i downloaded using my service tag ) , but whenever i try to install , it say "Activate bluetooth using wireless switch" althought i have already turn the wireless on ( Fn + F2).
I tried to let windows install the driver it self but there is always an error called Code 43 : Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems.
After i uninstall the driver, on the device manager the bluetooth device is shown as unknow device.
So i use a software called : Driver Identifier and download a software call BlueSoleil , after installing this, everything seemed to be fine.
But it is just for look , nothing changed , i can not start the bluetooth device, and in the control panel it does not recognize any bluetooth device.
My device hardware ids is : USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3002&REV_0001 USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3002 Answers:
I purchased my Dell Inspiron Core i5 N5110 ( dell inspiron n5110 battery, dell laptop battery n5010, dell 15r batteries) a week ago. If once you get done installing your driver by choosing the wrong one, or not in proper order, you will have to reinstall your operating system because the Bluetooth driver once installed will not be uninstalled properly if you selected and installed the wrong driver. I installed my OS thrice then I came to know how should I install the OS and Drivers to make this machine 100% functional.
It might not be beneficial for someone but might be a complete solution for anyone, just try, my Wireless Driver problem, Bluetooth problem, PCI Simple Communication Controller error and mic problem were resolved by following the order of installation. There are almost approx 15 drivers that needs a restart of your machine, either asked or not, you should restart every time.
(All this is for Windows 7 x64 - Go to the Dell website and follow the order of the headings and the numbered order of the drivers - The procedure WORKED 100% FOR ME, there is no guarantee for the others)
1. Install OS with Service Pack 1 CHIPSET 2. HM67 Express Chipset Family 3. USB 3.0 Host Controller 4. Management Engine Interface 5. RTS5138 Card Reader SERIAL ATI 6.

Dell Inspiron Laptop - slow boot - Windows 7

Questions: I have a Dell Inspiron with 2.5 GHz processor and 4 GB of RAM. My version of Win 7 is 64-bit. I have done the following to try to speed up the boot:
- stopped/disabled unnecessary processes and startup programs
- updated all of my drivers
- updated all Win 7 files
Now, I cannot download Windows Update (I get error code 80246008 and I have checked to make sure Background Intelligence Transfer is on) AND every time I boot up my sound icon has a red "X" next to it, and so I have to troubleshoot that. I have no idea what sound card I have.

Dell Inspiron n5010 Blue Screen Problems

Dell Inspiron n5010 Blue Screen Problems


Questions
I have a Dell Inspiron n5010 (dell batteries for inspiron n5010) that has been used for about half a year. I have Windows 7 on it and it has just brought up the blue screen of death. Today when I turned on my laptop, it brought up a black screen to do a three step check on the C: system. I then logged on and the blue screen appeared. I did a scan with McAfee and no virus were found.
Any suggestions on what to do? I've never encountered the blue screen before.
Answers: 
As a last resort you might need to fdisk, reformat your Dell Inspiron n5010 laptop hard disk clean and reinstall OS. Before going that route, try following simple fixes to see if the problem goes away.
Remove the dell n5010 battery ( Compatible with inspiron 15r battery ) and charger/ac adapter/power cord from your Dell Inspiron n5010 laptop, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to discharge any residual current inside the laptop. This clears your RAM and is like a hardware reset. Replace the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord and turn your laptop on.
Boot in "safe mode". As it starts up press F8, the computer ask you if you'd like to start in safe mode. Highlight "safe mode" and press enter. See if your Dell Inspiron n5010 laptop works normal.
If it runs normal now, do the following maintenance and tune up,
Uninstall unnecessary programs and applications.
Scan with a antivirus program
Scan with a spyware/malware program
DEFRAG C:
CHKDSK C:
Clean up and repair registry problems.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use external harddrive for all your future downloads.
If the problem persists, did you check if it could be your Dell Inspiron n5010 laptop power cord or power source problem? Defective or insufficient power supply might cause error messages that are misleading. Take the battery out and power on your laptop with the charger only. Make sure your laptop power jack and charger plug tip are securely connected. Did you notice the power jack loose? You can find laptop power jack on ebay. Fixing and soldering the power jack requires professional skill though. The charger green/blue LED should be on. If not, replace the defective charger. Dell Inspiron n5010 laptop battery charger has its own limited lifespan and does not last forever, consider buying a lifetime warranty charger online from company

Wireless Switch Problems on Dell Inspiron N5010

Questions:

From time to time, an issue comes up where my wireless internet suddenly goes out, and I run the troubleshoot and it tells me that the wireless switch needs to be physically switched on. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.
I have no idea where this "switch" is, but when I restart, everything seems to work fine.
Is there something I can do to not have to restart whenever this happens? Thanks in advance.

Answers:

There is no Wireless Switch on the Inspiron N5010. To turn on wireless, you will need to hold down on the FN key, and tap the F2 key once, that's the wireless switch on your system.

I would suggest you to update the wireless card driver from our support site by usining the below link. Make sure to check which wireless card you have on your system, and then download it. You will find the wireless driver under network.
