Dell Universal Receiver Error

Hello,

When I plug my Dell Dongle in I get an error as if the thing is bricked.

In the Dell Universal Receiver Control Panel:

ERROR: The receiver was [BLANK]

Firmware version : [BLANK]

Devices Paired : [BLANK]

Any Ideas?

Cheers,

    You need a specific model mouse to use the inappropriately named Universal device.

    Hello Support,
    I am having the very same problem with two different universal receivers. Old one bought a long time ago is working fine and recognized by Windows without issues. The new one just arrived with my replacent mouse and also works when connectedto my laptop, all good on the windows side. Both give the exact same error in the Receiver Control Panel. I want to be able tu use my old keyboard and the new mouse with one receiver.

    Update:
    No help from Support team, the bot keeps asking for service tag (peripheral devices don't have them)
    But I was able to pair the both devices to the same receiver using Dell Peripheral Manager software

    I am having the same problem. My USB never worked in the first place, and when I tried using the Dell Universal Receiver Control Panel, this exact same error message popped up. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the mouse and the USB receiver via Device manager, but nothing works. Please help.

    I have similar situation, after upgrade software to dell peripheral manager there is no option to uninstall my old hardware (keyboard and mouse Km714). This goods are not visible in the software even keyboard is working!!! New mouse MS3320W is visible, so I suppose there is no support for old hardware unfortunatelly. I found information that issue could be solved by firmware update:

    why no any support from dell side? I am very very dissapointed...

    Problem solved myself. I run on my win11 virtual machine with win7 installation, after that i installed on virtual machine dell universal control panel and remove my mouse, added it again and everything works like i expected :).

    Thanks dell for unsupport...

    Uninstall the Dell Peripheral Manager, then the device will show up.

    Cheers
