Windows 7 Device Drivers for DELL Latitude E5410 Laptop

Sometimes doing a complete reformat of a Laptop or a Desktop Computer gives me a problem. This happens when I reformatted a DELL Latitude E5410 Laptop using Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Operating System. Most drivers are installed but I found that Network Adapters are not installed properly.

I search for a compatible device driver over the Internet and then manually install it to make both Network Devices working again. Now, all devices are working properly on my DELL Latitude E5410 Laptop.



Provided below are download links of 3 devices which I found not installed when I reformatted my Laptop. Note that these drivers might also work on other Laptop Computers.

Wi-Fi Driver - Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter Driver

Wired LAN Driver - Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller

My Solar Powered 12 Volts Desk Fan



On early 90's, Solar Panels are very rare and cost high here in the Philippines. I still remember that a client of mine is trying to sell a 50 watts solar panel for PHP15,000.00 each which came from Germany. But now, this Free Source of Energy are available in Malls and some Streets in Recto (Quiapo) in Manila for a very low price.

I bought mine for only PHP 650.00 pesos each and currently using 3 of this 10 watts Solar Panels to power up a 12 volts Rechargeable Lead Acid Battery which I also bought few months ago.

The Battery costs PHP 600.00 each if I remember correctly while the Desk Fan is PHP 750.00 when I bought it in CDR King. Of course the prices may vary without prior notice. :)

Moving forward, I have placed and mounted the Solar Panel in a flat iron bar in our roof top and used an old Cable and Telephone wires to connect the Positive and Negative charge directly to the Battery. I'm not using a charge controller though I have one as advised by the Technician that it's not needed for this setup co'z using charge controller will just waste some of the Energy.

Also note that I'm using separate Battery for powering up a 12 volts desk fan that using right now. As compared to a 12 volts bulb, the fan consumes much Energy.

I'm planning to buy more Solar Panels and Batteries to support more lighting in our house in future.
I have included some images and a video below for reference purposes only.

That's all for now and If you have questions or other ideas you may post it in the comments.

Some Useful Commands in DOS for Windows Administrators


C:\>tasklist |sort /r /+58

The tasklist command list all running process and services on the system. Adding the |sort /r /+58 sorts or arranged the output according from highest memory usage on the top down to the lowest below. This works on Windows 7 and might also work on other version of Windows.

Some things about me that I will share to public

First, a little introduction about me, myself and I.

My friends and relatives call me Isko for short. Born on the 4th of October 1977 in our house at Quezon City Philippines.Father's name is Delfin and mother's name is Elsa. I have 5 siblings named Jeff, Andy, Jon-Jon, Jane and Wilson. I'm the eldest among all, married to Gladys and we now have 3 kids namely Benedict, Angelo and Christian. I love Music and Computers. I studied at Teodora Alonzo Elem School, Jose P. Laurel Sr. High School, Polytechnic University of The Philippines and Asian College of Science and Technology took up B.S in Computer Science major in Programming. 

I'm currently working as a Service Delivery Consultant 1 at Hewlett Packard Corporation Asia Pacific and got promoted to Level 2 after a year. Primary role is almost the same as a Systems Administrator who's in-charge in maintaining Server health and performance running under Windows Operating System. That includes providing technical assistance to some clients and customers if needed both locally and onshore in United Kingdom. I'm also one among many Engineers in our account in-charge in doing administrative task under Incident, Problem and Change management. 

That would be all for now and hopefully I will be able post here some meaningful ideas which can help others over the internet. Thanks for reading and have a great day ahead. Cheers!
