Windows 10: Dell Inspiron 13-5378: Not connected - No connections are available

Hi,


I'm having connectivity issues with my laptop as it displays no available Wi-Fi networks. There's no options to turn on/off connection at all. My specs are:


Processor: IntelR Core TM i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.90 GHz

Installed RAM: 8.00 GB 7.87 GB usable

64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Windows 10 1903


I have a couple of hidden network adapters under device manager that I suspect might be the issue:

Bluetooth Device Personal Area Network #2

IntelR Dual band Wireless-AC 3165

Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter

Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #2


When I click any of these, I get the following message in the "Device status" section:


Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. Code 45 To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware to the computer.


How might I go about doing this?


Thanks for your help!

:)

 

Dell Inspiron 13 5378

I have a Dell Inspiron 13 5378. AND I KNOW FOR A FACT 100% its a Dell Inspiron 13 5378. I bought it refurbished off ebay and i checked the bios and settings and it is a 5378...

Q:

But WAIT, the F10 key has no backlit keyboard option, even if i press it with or without Fn, no backlight. And all 5378 inspirons have backlight. What do i do? Backlight is a necessity at some points.

 

Dell Inspiron 13 5378 Touchscreen Not Working

Just received a Dell 13 5378 2 in 1. The touchscreen drivers are missing. I have updated windows, all drivers listed on the Dell support site for this computer. When I run the firmware update a Radium screen appears, and waits for further action on my
part. I need the Radium password to proceed beyond this point.

 

Unable to disable touchpad in Dell Inspiron 13-5378

I have an Dell Inspiron 13-5378 laptop. I'd like to disable its touchpad since I have an external mouse I can use. I Googled for "disable touchpad" and have tried the following so far:

• Going to Device Manager, selecting Mice and other pointing devices, and disabling both of the HID-compliant mouse entries I see
  
  • Disabling the first one appears to have no effect, as my touchscreen still works. Disabling the second one disables my mouse.
    
  • There is also a PS/2 Compatible Mouse entry, but I'm scared to touch it because I can only uninstall, not disable it, and I don't know what it does because I only have 1 mouse plugged in.
    
• Running main.cpl to get to Mouse Properties, going to Hardware > Properties > Change settings... yields the same issues: I can disable the first 2 "HID-compliant mouses" but can only uninstall the last one.
  

Any suggestions on what to do?
