Studio 1535 multiple problems
I have had this for about 5 weeks now. Yesterday when I turned it on I noticed a difference...the touch sensitive buttons (volume etc) didnt light up as usual when powering up.
Once it had started there were several more problems. The touch pad doesnt work (although it will in safe mode), the keys on the keyboard dont work properly. I have to keep pressing the key until it works and none of the touch sensitive keys (sound etc) dont work at all.
Currently I'm using a USB mouse and this email took me 10 minutes to write because of the keys.
Also the fan stays on permenantly.
Please help!!!

I have just fixed, or more accurately had fixed for me the following problems.
Noisy Fan aka always on full power
Back lit soft keys don't work
intermittant failure on the keyboard
touchpad not working
A very helpful person from Dell Support reinstalled the General Utilities, Touchpad Driver, Intel Chipset Drivers abd BIOS. I have done similar things for W98 machines but Vista is beyond me and I wouldn't be able to say which drivers are needed but my system is now working.
The original poster's problems sound very similar to mine.
