    Hi,
    It seems the audio driver link expired. Could you post it again please?

  2. Cristhopper says:

    Actually, none of the links work anymore U_U

      It is April 2, 2013 and I can confirm that each of the downloads published above DOES work. When you click on a link you are taken to the 4shared filesharing website. You cannot download until you register but it worked by entering fake data as no email check is required as access is immediate.

      Thank you Vishnu for doing the hard work for us M1530 owners.

    decided not to up the ram once in a 64 bit os? any reason not to go to 8gb other than cash? Im about to do all this, mine is a bit older than yours. have you had any problems with cashing on the samsung SSD? I heard that can be a problem and should be turned off on install of 64 bit os. Thanks in advance

    • Vishnu says:

      I am doing normal stuff on this laptop so 3 GB is enough for me .
      I haven’t tried but I hop there will be not any problem with SAMSUNG SSD

    Hi

    I could not install windows 8 on my xps m1530 because the installer requires me to upgrade my BIOS.

    How to do so?

    • Vishnu says:

      Upgrade Bios to A12 in Dell Support > Driver Downloads . You can download new A12 Bios . It is very easy to flash . jest few clicks . and a restart . Good Luck

    Hi Vishnu, Thanks for posting this!! But I tried to download them and it appears all the links are bad. Do you have good links or if you have the files, could you .zip or .rar all of them and upload that file. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

  6. christopher says:

    hi It seems the driver link expired can u send them to me please

  7. Mike says:

    Thanks for all the hard work in putting this together. I’ve got an XPS M1530, and want to update the Vista that’s on it now. After reading what you posted, I think I will try this.

    I’ve copied over your seven driver files – is there anything else I need? I didn’t see a driver for the screen, which I assume I also need.

    You have 64-bit drivers. I expected I’d have to put a 32-bit version of Win-8 on the computer, but if you’re using 64, why not?

    Thanks again. (I’m now in Pondicherry for two weeks, and either I’ll do the update here, or wait until I get back to Madurai.)

    Hi,

    I installed all drivers you shared in my XPS M1530 system. I am facing issue with Dell Quickset. It installed successfully buy tray icon of quickset doesn’t load. I did reboot and reinstalled it multiple times but still tray icon for Dell Quickset doesn’t load. I am running Windows 8 64bit.

    Please help.

    Thanks.

    • Vishnu says:

      Now Only I Noticed! Yes, there is no tray icon for quick set for me also. But everything is working, Wifi Toogle, Touch Switches, Volume UP/DOWN etc.

      • Rishi says:

        Thanks Vishnu for your reply. Yes all touch buttons are working with quickset including WiFi catcher button at right side of the laptop. Seems Dell quickset service is working normally as it should except that try icon which enables some additional features with context menus. Let me know if you find solution for this.

        Again thanks Vishnu for all drivers

    I’ve got an XPS M1530 (BIOS A-12). It came with Vista(x64), clean installed to Windows 7(x64), clean installed to Windows 8(x64), but will not install Windows 8.1 from the Windows store. It does the complete download, but never installs, never reboots, never restarts. After a manual reboot, the Windows Store shows that the Windows 8.1 update is available. Any suggestions.


    Thanks

    • Vishnu says:

      I have downloaded and updated to 8.1 from windows store itself. There was no problem for me. I think you have rebooted while processing installation. Better try again. Thank you!

  11. Brian says:

    This has been a tremendous help and saved me a bunch of time, thanks!!

  12. Raul says:

    Thank you so much for putting so much time and sharing all your work with all of us. I am gonna upgrade my XPS finally, thanks to you.

    Hi Vishnu, do you still have these fixes gathered together somewhere? My vista became corrupted. I put in a new hard drive a yr and a half ago and somehow managed to lose the system restore point when I set up the new hard drive. This machine is still so good that I think I will install Windows 8.1. I hope for another yr and a half out of my xps m1530!

  14. Kristin at Interior Nature says:

    Oh I see! You attached all links to Dropbox. Thank you so much for sharing this. Your work lives on! I really need this machine for image processing.
