Dell Inspiron Base System Device Driver Issues



Many Dell Inspiron PC users have been troubled by Base System Device Driver issues, and most of those who posted their problems in some computer related forums have been able get the correct solutions. If you are still having a troublesome time in finding for the correct Base System Device drivers for your Dell Inspiron Notebook PC, then you can find useful information in this post on how have many PC users fix the same device driver related problems that you are facing right now.



As mentioned in one of our post that you can read at Reasons Why Many PC users are Being Troubled by Base System Device Issues, there are several factors that contributes to the troublesome task of identifying the problematic Base System Devices of a notebook PC. For Dell Inspiron PC models, there are two common factors:

A. The first factor is the term Base System Device, and for newbie or non-techie PC users, the task of finding the drivers for this device is quite troublesome even though they have visited the official website of Dell for an attempt to download the driver files for a Base System Device. This is because there are no devices or PC components labelled as Base System Device available in the list of devices for any Dell Inspiron models in the official Drivers & Downloads page of Dell.



A PC user with Inspiron E1405 mentioned that he attempted to visit Dell Support page many times, but he can't still find any driver under the name Base System Device.

B. Another factor is that there are cases where some features of the Dell Inspiron PC tends to malfunction, and many PC users concluded that the hardware device responsible for those features are at fault. Thus, they will tend to install/reinstall driver files for that particular device, and such attempt fails most of the time.

For example, after a Dell Inspiron 1525 owner concluded that the Base System Device has something to do with the Wireless Internet Connection failure that he encountered just before checking the Device Manager. However, even he tried many times to install/reinstall the driver files for the Wireless Network Controller, he still failed to fix the problem.

C. After some research through the Internet, a newbie Dell Inspiron PC user might found out that a Base System Device is mostly a component of the Smart Card Reader of a PC laptop, but the third factor is that the device driver file download link for the card reader of Dell Inspiron models are buried in an unusual Device Category.

A Dell Inspiron PC user was delighted to learn that there is a high possibility that the Base System Device of his computer is the built-in card reader of his computer. However, he was shocked to learn that there is no Card Reader in the Device Categories for his PC model in the official website of Dell.

Now, let us consider how the PC users mentioned above and other Dell Inspiron PC users managed to fix their Base System Device driver issues.

Upon checking all the Device Categories, a download link for the built-in card reader of a Dell Inspiron PC model will be found out. However and as mentioned earlier, it is listed under an unusual Device Category, and it's none other than the Chipset category.

Below are some of the examples of the download link for Dell Inspiron PC models, and depending on your PC model, you can either have an onboard Ricoh Card Reader or Realtek Card Reader.
