Precision M3800 Disabled Intel Video Driver, how to re enable?
Hi,
I have a Precision M3800 and by mistake I disabled its Intel video driver following this post https://www.jdhodges.com/blog/dell-brightness-control-fn-hotkeys-stuck/ and now I cannot see anything on my screen. I have also an nVidia card.
I also have Ubuntu installed in the my laptop and that is where I am typing this from.
How can I re enable the driver so that I can use my Windows partition?

Hi AndresMora,
Thanks for posting.
Is there anything showing on the screen while the system is booting up? You can find the drivers here: http://dell.to/2v3hVgM

Hi DELL-Robert P,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I found a very simple way to fix my problem. I rebooted my PC on "Safe Mode" and then did the following:
Windows Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Right click on Intel Video Driver -> Enable -> Reboot PC
That took care of the problem!
Cheers!
