      Hi Valued Customer,

      Thank you very much for your valued feedback. We are sorry to hear about the issues you came across with your Inspiron 3511 laptop because its touchpad is performing as it should.
      Some Notebooks and Tablets with Keyboards have added gesture features to the touchpad hardware and drivers. A few of these features are two or three-finger scrolling, pinch zoom, circle zoom, rotation, and swiping. These new features may be the reason for the erratic cursor movement since most are turned on by default. You can disable or modify the way the features work in the touchpad driver properties. Here are some tips to modify these settings:

      1. In the Search box, type main.cpl.
      2. Touch or click main.cpl in the list of programs.
      3. Touch or click the Dell Touchpad tab.
      4. Touch or click on the picture of the touchpad.
      5. Touch or click Gestures (depending on your computer there may not be a Gestures option).
      6. Change the options as preferred.
      7. Touch or click Save.
      8. Touch or click the X in the upper-right corner to close the Dell Touchpad Utility.
      9. Touch or click OK on the Mouse Properties window.
      10. If the touchpad still does not work after following the preceding steps, refer to Dell Knowledge Base article - http://dell.to/2iaiujA.

      You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tqmS02.

      If the issue with your computer is still not resolved after utilizing the troubleshooting options above, please contact the Dell Support Team at 1-800-624-9896 for further guidance.

      Dear Renee,

      We would like to thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We apologize for the overheating issue you are experiencing with your Dell Inspiron 3511 computer.

      To help with this issue, we would recommend making sure the BIOS is up to date on your PC. I have provided a link to the Drivers and Downloads page so you can check for and do any applicable updates. Dell has also released an Intel Power Management Utility to help with the overheating that you may be experiencing on your computer. For this package to take effect, the system power plan must be set to Balanced under the Additional Power Settings. Also, the Power Mode option that is displayed when you click the battery icon, should be set to Better Performance. This package only takes effect on AC power and not on battery power. The Intel Power Management Utility can be found here - http://dell.to/3tStRgX.

      Please see the steps that should help resolve the overheating issue and a link to the full article below:

      1. Inspect and clean the air vents and fans.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Update the BIOS and Chipset driver.
      4. Download and install Microsoft Windows updates.
      5. Run a hardware diagnostic test.
      6. Use Dell Power Manager to manage thermal performance.
      7. Improve efficiency to reduce heat.
      8. Perform a Windows System Restore.
      9. Restore the computer to factory settings.
