I have a Dell Latitude E6510 which was working perfectly until I applied some Dell updates with the Dell client system update (at least I think that's what caused the problems, maybe in combination with some Windows system updates). Since then: - whenever the computer enters in sleep or hibernate mode the DVD/CD reader disables in the device manager, sometimes it even disappears out of the device manager - the Bluetooth doesn't function anymore like it used to and I receive messages from windows that I should update the driver, but everytime I try to it fails - whenever I manualy check for Windows updates it keeps on 'checking' without ever getting anything. When I put it on "automatic" it works but it wants to install the same windows updates over and over again

refresh the system and try to connect again. thanks

There might be a function key that works with the intensity key...you might try finding those two keys and hold down one while tapping the other

If you do not have a RECOVERY CD then contact Dell to purchase this Recovery CD for your model Dell laptop. Boot up using the Recovery CD and follow the instructions.
The other way is to re- install Windows using a Windows installation CD; it must match the Windows version on the Windows Product Code label on the bottom of your laptop. Boot up using the Windows installation CD and follow the instructions. Next install all of the Dell's computer/laptop device drives. Next install the Windows service packs (SP2 & SP3 for XP, SP1 & SP2 for Vista) Next Activate Windows via the Internet or by phone. Next install your programs - Microsoft Office etc. Next click on Start - Programs - Windows Update (for the latest updates).
The device drivers for your model computer/laptop can be downloaded from the Dell WEB support site. To download the drivers from Dell WEB site, select your model desktop or laptop, or a better option, type in the Service Tag number, this is printed on the label on the bottom of the laptop and on the back or sides of a desktop. (If the Service Tag label is missing then go the BIOS setting and on one of the BIOS pages, the Service Tag number will be displayed). The Service Tag will open the page where the drivers specific for your model computer/laptop are located. Also make sure you select the Windows XP or Vista version of the drivers for your Windows operating system.
