View 5 RepliesHow do you suggest you do this apart from taking the keys off/taking apart the laptop? I've been going with blowing using my mouth and sucking using a vacuum cleaner, but the larger bits stay ...

The problem is, that my Aspire's screen keeps flickering and making weird waves and stuff. It basically makes text unreadable, and I almost can't see anything. To turn it somewhat normal, I turn down the light, but it's not working much. The text sometimes turns into different colors, Blue, green and red.

Is it safe to remove any of these or will doing so cause more trouble than its worth.
Reason: I never use any of them. In fact, I just removed all the games from the machine.

if anyone here had any idea on how to remove the bezel on an Acer Aspire 6920-6973. I bought the replacement LCD for my screen and I cant seem to get the bezel off completely!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just got an Intel X18-M G1 80 gb ssd with a 2.5" enclosure to upgrade the HDD in my Acer 1410.
I opened the back panel, removed the 2 screws, then removed plastic piece holding down the gold connector, and pulled the plastic tape to get the hard drive out.
Problem now is, how do I remove the old hard drive from the chasis? I've upgraded laptop drives before and usually just there is a SATA connector. But here the SATA connector seems to be connected to a chasis/circuit board. There are several 6 point star shaped screws, including some covered by a piece of black plastic.
I have experience with this . My previouse notebook worked overclocked 2 years non-stop with no problems. I still have it .
To find pll on Vaio i'm not planing by opening the notebook this time . Does anyone have some pll's for vaio's
STILL very happy with my old 9200!
Upgraded from a 1.8 Dothan to a 2.0, but didn't really see much difference. Stepping is managed by Right Mark.
I have 2GB of Kingston RAM in her. PC 2700, I think.
What's the bestest, fastest, coolest RAM I can put in, and how much can I jamb in there?
I'm not sure if they even made RAM in 2GB sticks for my system. The FSB is only 400, but what if I put in (2) sticks of 2GB RAM (that will fit), but is meant for a higher FSB?
Would I have acess to 4GB of RAM, only at the max speed my system would allow?
Or would my system simply puke because it just won't accept any more that 2GB?
(Pretty obvious I don't know anything about RAM,)
I know I am late to the party, but I finally replaced Core Duo
t2400 in my m1210 with Core2 Duo t7200. Why t7200 and not t7400 or t7600? Price/Performance.
I got t7200 on ebay for about $75, and hope to sell my t2400 for...whatever. So the price for this upgrade should be minimal. Plus t7400 or t7600 would run hotter. Giving my crazy existing temps it was a concern .....
One thing I'm surprised about this unit is how often the fan is going off, even when idling or doing normal internet browsing, and music listening.
My temperature hangs around 50*C - 60*C. This temperature range is okay for my lap as I live in Canada and the temperature will dip down a bit around winter time. But the thing is, I want it to be stabled out around 55*C with music playing and all that. In other words, I don't want the fan to go off ever 10-15mins. I like my laptop quiet, and the 700m did relatively a good job in this.
I'm using RMClock + i8k. RMClock is set to the lowest possible voltage going at 6x. It came with Vista, but I removed that crap and put XP Pro.
The laptop doesn't have a discrete video card as my purpose for this laptop is not for gaming (that's reserved for consoles). I need it to run application servers for local developments.
this Laptop have everything i must say.
have recorded a lot of great movies with Windows media center and the quality is just super-great....(espcially HDTV movies )..
after lots of considering and looking for alternatives I finally ordered a 2530p today. After all, I think this is the best notebook for me.
I never bought a computer where a full windows version is not available on CD and thus never had bad experience with lots of stuff preinstalled.
How bad are the 'extras' on HP business computers in Europe? And do you have any advice on how to clear the computer up and what to delete?
looking at the order sheet I'm a bit confused regarding the OS
OS: Vista Business wXPP OFC Ready 2530p O/S
Restore Media: DRDVD Win XP 2530p Recover Media
Restore Media: OSCD Windows XP Pro Media
My guess is that someone forgot to update the order website
I read Intel is slashing prices on chips on the 22nd of July and was wondering what would be the fastest chip I could get to work with my 1710?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI received my XPS 1530 a few days ago and I'm happy with everything except for the factory supplied fingerprints on the lid. I tried using screen wipes and Windex - but I can't remove the fingerprints. Has anyone else successfully removed fingerprints, and if so, what did you use?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI googled around to see if anyone had done this but got no results.
Is it possible to remove the optical drive from the XPS M1330 and put some sort of plastic placeholder there instead? Being able to fit an extra battery or hard-drive would be great, but I can settle for some plastic.
So Dell has taken up two partitions.
1) around 10GB for the factory image
2) around 200MB for something else which I dont know...
I have another windows partition
so that makes 3 primary partitions.
But now I wanna install linux , but I don't want to loose the factory image ( so that i can do a manual restore later on )....
Recently saw a topic about the removal of the edge-to-edge screen of the SXPS 13/16, and found this video:

I finally got around to taking the stickers off of the palmrest on my Z11, and I was left with a lot of goo.
I was too lazy to pick up "goo gone" cleaner so I just rubbed off the sticker goo with my thumb.
Problem is, it left a "carbon footstep" of where the sticker goo was which, no matter how hard I try, I can't clean.
If I look at it at a certain angle, I can see a whole pattern of where I rubbed the sticker goo off. It's really really ugly and I would advise anyone getting around to it to be smart about it and buy goo gone
About three months ago I returned my laptop to be repaired for a hard drive malfunction, not a big deal since I had the two year accidental protection plan. When I got it back they gave me a new hard drive, but my video card switcher no longer worked! Please see the attached image: the slide switch is towards "Stamina" however the "Speed" is illuminated. The slideswitch seems to be locked in place, I cannot move it.
I only recently had time to tell Sony about this, to which they replied that they cannot help me, since it has been more than 30 days since the repair. I replied explaining that I had this fancy-shmancy protection plan, and perhaps it could be fixed under that umbrella; to which they tactfully retorted that they had (prematurely) terminated my contract, and that if I want, I can send it in and be charged for parts and labor for the thing that they broke. [/rant]
Anyway..I would love to fix this myself, since I am in fact on my own. I took off the keyboard and palmrest, and was unable to find out how to remove the cover that contains the S-buttons/slideswitches/power button/speakers. Is it in there with just clips? This region looks particularly delicate, not that the rest isn't, however I feel as thought I should be especially gentle. Ive checked all the disassembly/teardown links I could find on the sz series, but none seem to detail how to remove this one part.
Is it okay to either remove or install the battery with the computer turned on and running off of the power adapter?
My laptop is a DV6426US with a new 12 cell battery
