    Ive been working on this for a few solid days now. I was having serious problems with the wifi and graphics card drivers (dual gtx 260m's + onboard nvidia 9400) but got those working. If anyone needs to know how i did this just ask.

    The only problems left now are the left side usb doesn't work. Also can't get bluetooth working at all.

    The chipset drivers from dell don't really do anything. I still have in device manager an error, code 28 for "coprocessor" with the hardware ID:

    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0AA3&SUBSYS_CB7910DE

    All the USB drivers are windows installed. None of them show my specific computer or "intel" or anything like that.

    Bluetooth card is in there, i checked. None of the dell drivers work. I was thinking maybe its dependent on the chipset driver because it never gets detected.

    Other than that, everything is working great. Just put in a new ssd and about to get some ram.

    Installed windows 7 on my old hard drive to test. Bluetooth works. But that same driver will not install in windows 10.

    Left usb still doesnt work.
    It wont even provide power to charge my phone. Does this mean its completely dead?

    update: For windowns 10, I have everything working perfectly now. Left side USB port is dead i believe the computer wont detect a usb in there for an option to boot from.
