Download the BIOS Firmware upgrade from Dell's site and run it. Most of these will ask you to insert a diskette to create a boot floppy. Boot the machine on that disk and follow the prompts.
Seriously, this question would be better answered by Dell than us.

No.
You can only hope the CPU socket isn't damaged and buy a new CPU.

If the pins are merely bent you can straiten them with a mechanical pencil. If they've snapped the CPU is ruined. If the busted pins are stuck in the socket so is the mobo.

I think so u can't do anything.

you can pull up a datasheet and see if the broken pins are NC (no connect) or GND. If they're both NC just put your CPU back in it should work. If they're ground put it back in anyway, good chance it may work it can't be anymore broken.

Have you tried changing the mouse? The button might be broken
|
|
|
|

U mean button Configuration? I changed and I checked in that time no problem but I m using Right hand for mouse operation.
Know problem is left(Normal) Click is not working properly when i use single click it working as double click and some of the time it work as single click.
Is any other solution.

I meant the physical mouse.

Here are some simple experiments for you:
1. try with a different mouse; if that works fine, your original mouse switch has worn out.
2. if you don't have a spare mouse: try with opposite setting for lefthand/righthand; if the problem
sticks with the left button (physically left) then the mouse switch has worn out

Hi ,
This is a new and strange situation.. .I need correct direction if possible.
I have a KIOSK(Win XPe loaded on it)
To the KIOSK , there are attached peripheral devices like
1) Credit Card Reader
2) Cash Acceptor
3) Receipt Printer
My Task... I need to read the information from the peripheral device and expose the information in the best form to the KIOSK application
For example
1) The application on the KIOSK will have a provision to tell the customer , how much cash is input from the cash acceptor
2) Building the application is not my task.
3) I need to read the Cash Acceptor's input and provide the information to the application on the KIOSK
There is much more I have to do.. But what I provided is just the tip of the iceberg.
Questions + Concerns + Situation
1) I dont have any communication from my Development PC to the KIOSK Machine, Except for remote Login
I dont know how to use the XPe OS
What is the best solution for the situation I provided above, Do I need to build a Windows Service, Web Service... I dont Know.. any guidance on this?
I know that a previous developer 2 years ago built a similar solution on JavaPOS ... (Now I dont know anything what he did or where the solution is)
Since I heard the term JavaPOS from my manager , I started digging into WinPOS ... .NET POS.
What is this .NETPOS, What do I do with it?
How do I program a solution for XPe based machine
How do kick start this project in a very planned and succesfull manner?
The hardware info of this KIOSK machine is HP Compaq t5710 XPe 1.2GHz
Its a total confusion... Someone please guide me in the correct direction , and give me as many resources as you can
Thank You
Happy Programming!
Regards,
ctrlnick !

Hi,
Is your KIOSK is built upon XPe or WEPOS?
probably WEPOS, WEPOS is a sub set of XPe with aditional POS SDK and a collection of peripheral drivers like MSR, Barcode Scanner, CreditCard reader etc..
As per my understanding the code written on X86 machine loaded with XP
could run on XPe machine as well, but if your application is a pure POS one, that means built using POS SDK you must use APIs from the SDK to get the work done. Unlike normal windows application a POS application gets messages or events through POS layer only. I hope you can downlad a copy of POS SDK from Microsoft with free of cost and link the same with VS for development.
Check the link below for POS SDK

I have some code reading and writing to a USB Windows CE device (it's actually using the ActiveSync driver). On Windows XP I use CreateFile to open the port and ReadFile and WriteFile to do IO - this works fine. On Vista I can open the port but ReadFile and WriteFile always return this invalid function error (error code 1). Any ideas?

Hi,
Vista won't let you:
- write files in certain locations, e.g. C:\Program Files;
- access the device as a whole, e.g. when trying to get the hardware serial number;
unless you are running with administrator rights.
Easiest work-around normally is choose a different folder, one that is not special to Windows.

This "answer" has no relevance to my question. I am writing to a USB device not a file.

Hi Keith,
sorry I misunderstood what your target device was.
I'll try once more: maybe this[^] puts your mind at ease.

I'm wondering how you're "opening" the USB "port"?? USB is not a port, but a bus. You can't open the bus like a serial port or something and read/write to it. You have to open the device that's connected to that bus.
So, how are you opening that device?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I'm not actually opening "usb". I look up the name of the device port using SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces and SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetail; this returns a port name like "\\?\usb#vid_03f0&pid_1016#5&12334f9d&0&2#{25dbce51-6c8f-4a72-8a6d-b54c2b4fc835}" and I use this in CreateFile to get a handle to the device. I can then use this in ReadFile and WriteFile - or I can in XP but not in Vista. Vista is happy to open the port but ReadFile/WriteFile just return error 1.

Error 1 is "INVALID_FUNCTION". Security has changed dramatically in Vista so the first thing I'd try is running the app as an admin and see what happens. If it works, you have to see if including a manifest to tell Vista to run the app as an admin is going to work for you. If not, then you have to find another method of talking to the device.

I do all my development under admin authority, so it's not that.
|
|
|

The only thing I could find on this error was that ReadFile had to use a buffer with a size evenly divisible by 64. If this doesn't fix the problem, I think you're going to be stuck trying to find another method of talking to the device, or at least using a different file name.
