Troubleshooting an Internal USB Key

 

CAUTION: 

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You 

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your 
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and 
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered 
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the 
product.

1

Enter the System Setup program and ensure that the internal USB key 
port is enabled. See "Integrated Devices Screen" on page 66.

2

Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system 
from the electrical outlet. 

3

Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 84.

4

Locate the USB key and reseat it. See "Internal USB Memory Key" on 
page 112.

5

Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 85.

6

Turn on the system and attached peripherals and check if the USB key is 
functioning.

7

If the problem is not resolved, repeat step 2 and step 3.

8

Insert a different USB key that you know works properly.

9

Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 85.

10

Turn on the system and attached peripherals and check if the USB key is 
functioning.

If the problem is not resolved, see "Getting Help" on page 195.
