Inspiron 17 7737 User Manuals

Have the same problem with my 7737 plus I can not find the BIOS A01 users guide. Same to DELL

Years ago I bought the Inspiron 6400 from DELL and right on my HD I had all the manuals I need and more and I thought it would have been the same with the 7737

Very disappointed

A01 is out of date - the current BIOS for that system is A09 and has notes accompanying it

Thanks for the reply

Sorry, what I have is A09

I need the users manual for the A09 because there some entries which I dont know what they mean

Admin password locks the UEFI setup from being changed but doesn't require a power-up password.  The hard drive password locks the hard drive from being used without the password.  If you opt for it, write it down and keep it in a secure place - if it is lost there is no way to remove it from the hard drive without sending the drive out to a recovery service.

The power on password locks the system from being used without the password.

ComputTrace is a security system that allows the system to be traced if stolen.  It requires paid subscription to CompuTrace (like LoJack does for automobiles).

The password change option allows a primary or hard drive password to be changed if the admin password is also set (for example, an administrator can lock the system against a user setting these passwords - or changing them - if the admin password is set).

You can set the primary/system/power on password and hard drive password independently.  An admin password cannot be set if either of the other two are already present - they must be removed first.

Thanks for your time, very interesting

Hi there:

Did you ever get a response or figure out how to see if the numlock key is on for the 7737 laptop? I am going nuts with this and I am also annoyed that I cannot find a manual that gives me info other than how to repair or replace stuff.

Thanks! <ADMIN NOTE: Email id removed as per privacy policy>

Never got a response but in any case had to return my Inspiron due to touchpad probelms; got another one higher model and had the same issue. So I returned that one too and now I have an Asus. Huge quality difference between the two and Asus is the winner + beautiful operating manual right on the Taskbar

Thanks for getting back to me. It is amazing that we have to change to a different company to get better service. I mean, all I am asking for is a manual for this laptop. Dell is getting chintzy.

thanks again

Hi,

Here the link for owner manual.

Hi:

I realize you are trying to help me, however, this is not a manual on how to use this laptop. This is a manual telling me how to repair and replace stuff. It does not tell me how to use this laptop and keyboard.

For example, if I could not figure out how to turn on the backlights there is no information about that.

I want to be able to see how I can tell if the NumLock key is ON or OFF. I cannot find any indicator for that.

There is no explanation of the keys at the top of the keyboard. What a pain this is.

Thanks, I sincerely appreciate you answering my question. I had downloaded the manual a long time ago, when I first got the laptop, but unless I want to replace something, this manual is not helpful.

I have seen many others with the same comments so I am VERY disappointed that Dell has not remedied this problem.

Thanks again for your response!

where is the Deactivate Computrace Beside ı am new Dell 7559 user.

Are there instructions for using the keyboard of a Inspiron 17 7737?  Including the number pad on the right hand side of the letter keys.

thanks
