Dell Inspiron 1420 Bluetooth Issue

So I did something wrong a while back on my Bluetooth icon which appear in the lower icon of my desktop. I asked to remove the link or something like that. After I did that, I could never get it back. Bluetooth Radio was not working and I could not find it anywhere! This was super frustrating, but I figured out how to fix it by going to this website:

In that article the author directs you to this download: Download and install it and the icon will come right back!

Good luck!

Dell Inspiron 1420 Overheating

Hello everyone!

If you are having issues with your Dell Inspiron overheating quite easily, CLEAN THE DUST OUT OF THE FAN!

It’s very easy to do.

Remove your battery first. Make sure you touch something metal so you don’t shock your computer and ruin it.

Flip your computer upside down and remove the piece on the bottom that looks like an “L”.

When that comes off, you’ll see a lot of metal, but you just need to carefully unscrew the four main screws you see, then remove that part and find any and all dust and get it out of there. When you clean it all out, carefully replace the parts and it should be fine again!

My computer was overheating often to the point where it would just shut down. I found a chunk about 1/4” thick and 1” wide  in there. After I removed it, it doesn’t even get close to hot.
