I found an old Dell WebPC with Win98 on it at Goodwill for $5 and it boots up fine, but just after the welcome screen appears I get a message saying "Windows did not detect a mouse attached to this computer" "You can now safely attach a serial mouse now" well I can't do that because there are no serial or ps/2 connectors on this thing....just usb. I tried starting in safe mode and deleting the usb controller and mouse driver in hopes that windows would reinstall them correctly after re-boot but nope. The bios has very limited settings for the controllers so no go there either....any ideas?

Re: Dell WebPC mouse problems
Yes it does and it is enabled.....I can only boot in safe mode and then I have to navigate using the keyboard, the cd-rom drive is absent in safe mode so I can't install drivers that way.....there is no floppy drive nor an empty bay to put one in and it uses 3 usb ports and NO ps/2 ports, in safe mode no usb devices will be detected if plugged in so I can't use my external floppy drive either.Attached FilesComment

Re: Dell WebPC mouse problems
Try the Maximus-Decim Native USB driver (latest version is 3.5, available here). It's basically a third-party replacement for the whole Win98 USB stack, works much better and has native support for most USB devices.
That still leaves the issue of how to get it onto the machine, though. Does it have ethernet?Comment

My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?
My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell... -

I am trying to repair a Dell Inspiron 3793 which has problems with start up, no battery charging and fan not running. I believe the Bios (probably the EC Region) is corrupted.
The board is FDI45-LAJ091P REV 1.0 A00
Processor i7 1065G7 with GPU
This MB has 2 Bios Chips (one 8MB and one 16MB chip).
I am trying to reload a new Bios with clean ME region, new main region and new EC region.
I attach the dumps of the 2 chips.
I successfully used ME analyzer to identify ME, PCH and PMC versions and used Flash Image Tool to install ME, PCH and PMC cleaned regions.... -
