Dell :: Discoloration And Temps
Nov 16, 2008I've had my M1530 for almost 11 months now and I noticed this discoloration on the palm rest but more importantly are the temps. The CPU is hitting 97 degrees Celsius and the GPU is hitting at 94 degrees Celsius. I first noticed this after several hours of video conversions then I ran ORTHOS to replicate the results. Should I ask for a technician to replace the mainboard or heatsinK? I've tried to raise the issue with the GPU running at this temp before but to no avail. However, this is the first time the CPU has hit such high temps.

Dell :: Discoloration Under My SXPS 16 And Overheating
May 30, 2009Does anyone else have this kind of discoloration under the exhaust fan? Is it because of the unusually high temps my laptop is showing while gaming? (It throttles on most games)

Sep 16, 2008I have noticed this for awhile now, but I have been able to ignore it previously due to the problem being discrete and im not a very picky person. But as time went on this has gone far worse than i thought. As you can see in the 3 images i have attached below there is severe discoloration of the aluminum palm rests/base pieces of my xps laptop in the form of an imprint of a human hand.
The print on the left is the worst and the prints to the right of the touch pad are a little bit better. I have only owned this laptop for roughly 8 month and i dont even use the laptop that much everyday.
I really dont feel like calling dell support again cause i just called them to replace my faulty screen 2 weeks ago and i really dont know how a Dell technician can come to my house and fix this unless he replace the whole base.

Sep 25, 2011Yesterday I have noticed a problem with the display in my X220 (type 4290-W1B). There is a small, white spot (about 1 mm diameter), clearly visible on the screen. It doesn't look like a normal bad pixel, but like a problem with the background light, or something. It is not visible when black color is displayed. The laptop was bought about 3 months ago and everything was OK until yesterday.
I have attached some pictures of this dot, but it is difficult to capture it with the camera (it is much more visible in real). I have marked the spot (it is in the middle of the circle). The pics are in high resolution so you can zoom in.
What should I do now? I have heard , that the Lenovo bad pixel policy is 3 bad pixel per display...

Nov 20, 2008I'm thinking of modding my i9300 to accept a 1710 mobo-- if I buy a motherboard with integrated graphics, will I be able to add a graphics card later on and disable the integrated graphics through bios, or does integrated graphics preclude adding a card later on?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHP/Compaq :: V5000 Mobo
Jun 18, 2009My mobo has been going bad. I've been slowly losing functionality. First, my multimedia card slots stopped working, then one usb port, then all usb ports and lastly my bluetooth module is working. I've concluded that I must have a bad mobo.
Is that the right assessment?
If it is and the mobo needs replacing which mobo do I use?
But let me be more specific, there are two types of mobos, a full-featured and a de-featured. I'm positive that i have the full-featured mobo but my problem is finding the right mobo with the right product number. I've searched online and the product numbers are all over the place. What's really confusing me is that I've found the same product numbers being used for both full-featured and de-featured mobos. So this makes it difficult to know which one to buy.
Dell :: Bad Battery Fried My MOBO??
Jan 3, 2008I think my xps9300gen2 might have some major promblems.
My battery went bad........got the bad battery flash code and the battery lights on back would light up funky.
I bought a new battery and the light isn't flashing anymore, system recognizes and charges it, BUT when I unplug the AC power to run on battery I get artifacts then system freeezes. I tried a third battery but it's the same deal. Won't run on the batteries
I fear it's the mobo.
Anyone delt with something like this?
Dell :: M1530 Replacement Mobo?
Jul 2, 2009I have the Dell XPS M1530 laptop, and of course the motherboard is fried.
The laptop is no longer covered by warranty, and I dont want to buy a new mobo from Dell, because they charge a ridiculous amount of money.
Where can I buy a new mobo with the new non-faulty Nvidia chip? I don't want to buy one of the original ones because it will just overheat from the chip and burn up again.
Dell :: XPS M1330 Mobo Replacement
Feb 5, 2009My M1330 has developed the "ac adapter type unrecognised" problem which means a new mobo. But it may be. It's an early m1330 with the 633MHz FSB and 2.2GHz cpu.
Do you think Dell will be able to replace like with like? I'm rather hoping they'll give me a 2.4GHz with 800MHz FSB as replacement as that's the nearest CPU match without giving me something inferior.
Dell :: Anyone Ever Get A Faulty Thermostat On Their Mobo?
Jan 19, 2009Well dell came out and once again replaced the mobo today... making this the 3rd time this computer needed servicing... and to my surprise while test driving it today (after the guy left), the computer shut down after reaching over 100c on the ACPI temps...

i unseated the heatsink and tried it again, sure enouh the same thing happened. the fan maxes out as soon as i start the PC, when it loads windows...
then once i get there, it completely stops... i mean the fan blade arent turning .....
Dell :: I6400 Memory/Mobo
Apr 8, 2009so my i6400 came orig with 2x512 ram sticks, one per slot -- recently (i have it it 2+ years) i realized that i was having a RAM issue (BSOD + other windows errors pointed directly to this problem) and ordered 2 x 1 gig sticks of ram from
newegg...when i realized what the problem was i pulled out 1 of the 512 sticks and it worked fine -- without a problem
i recieved the 2 new sticks and put them in, tried to start up, no luck...
tried one stick, worked fine.
(turned off)
tried other new stick, worked fine
(turned off)
replaced the original stick, worked fine.
(turned off)
replaced orig stick #1 with the stick that i thought had died/was bad, worked.
(also dealt with the dell POST? diagnostics -- flashing lock indicators -- which told me there was a problem with the RAM).....
Acer :: Aspire 3680 Mobo
Oct 21, 2008My laptop wont turn on at all, no lights at all. The power supply is fine, and I opened it up and found a few burnt capacitors. Ive searched on ebay for Aspire 3680 mobo but all have different model numbers to mine. My model number is DA0ZR1MB06D1 REV.D. Also on the RAM socket it has another number which is MBAZL060017090E53B2505 and below that it has 31ZR1MB00I0. I cannot find one on ebay with the same numbers as above. Will it make a difference if I get one which has a few numbers/letters which are different to my current one?
View 8 Replies View RelatedSony :: Sz650n (dead Mobo)
Oct 8, 2009I have a sz650n that will not boot -
Very little water made its way onto the keyboard, and probably leaked down and killed the motherboard. I bought a used motherboard from a semi-local store - same symptoms - few lights come on, fan comes on, no boot. Took motherboard and laptop back to the store, the guy said he tried 2-3 other motherboards, all with the same symptoms. It *is* possible all 3-4 boards he had are bad, but unlikely?
I'm pretty sure the power board is okay. He tried another CPU and memory, same symptoms.
I am looking for any advice you might have. I really need to get it fixed. I am still 99% sure its the motherboard, but the fact that all the ones he tried yielded the same results, maybe something else went out as well?
HP/Compaq :: Nx9105 Replacement Mobo
May 19, 2009I just replaced the motherboard in the girlfriend's HP/Compaq NX9105 (died in a wine spill...). The new mobo boots, but the first message was "unsupported wireless network device detected" and the system went no further. So I removed the card figuring a BIOS upgrade would sort that, but then I am faced with the message "this motherboard does not support 82W CPU", and again the system goes no further. I have checked the parts list and there only seems to be one mobo for this model, although there is one figure different on the part number:
Old mobo SPS-370495-001
New mobo: SPS-370496-001
The only other difference I could find was the new mobo only has one CPU fan header, easily sorted.
Other details;
CPU Athlon 64 1800 Skt 754
1.5GB DDR1 (though just using 256 stick for testing)
Bios Ver F11, newest available F34.
AFAIK the 1800 was the slowest CPU offered on this model except for some that had an Athlon XP-M fitted.
This may just be a BIOS upgrade issue, and I can certainly enter setup, but at the moment I cannot get it past the error messages, so any pertinent advice gratefully received.
HP/Compaq :: DV6000 Failed Mobo Or HDD
Jan 15, 2009I've got a DV6000 here that seems to have some sort of motherboard or HDD problem.
I load up an XP Pro installation and everything seems to work fine until it gets to "Setup is now loading Windows" at which point the installation just hangs. Native SATA is turned off. Tried it twice, too.
I've tried the installation with a Windows 7 Beta DVD as well, and the installation also hangs shortly after Windows finishes loading its files. I tried Windows 7 with native SATA turned on and off.
I'm not 100% sure that the HDD is ok as I don't have anything with which to test it, but the installation will get past this point in my E6400.
I'm not that familiar with HP computers, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious or if there's a hardware problem.
Dell :: M1330 : Mobo Replacement Checklist
Nov 14, 2008seeing as I'm getting ready for my 1330's second Mobo replacement, I've made a list of what to check after a mobo replacement. The first part of the checklist is what you really should test while the RegGuy's still on location and the second & third parts are what you need to verify (in most part) that the replacement mobo is indeed ok.
What the rep will check on your behalf is that the Notebook fires up and loads your OS. This of course implies that the power-on switch, monitor, hard drive, keyboard and trackpad are connected and that the main chips (cpu, graphics, chipset, audio, etc) are indeed functioning.
But that's about it so the rest is up to you ...

Dell :: Upgrading Inspiron 9300 Mobo
Mar 1, 2009I have an inspiron 9300 and a precision m90. my m90 has the t7200 and is vastly superior to the now aging 9300. the chasis are very similar and the mobos look exactly the same, dimension wise, minus one minor detail, the rear usb ports are farther apart on the m90 mobo, not by much but just enough to be irksome and cast doubt.
has anyone tried to upgrade the 9300 mobo and have they tried it with the m90 mobo? I can live w/o that pair of usb ports next to quadrupling the performance.
ulimately, I am trying to save the great monitor and in great condition 9300 chasis and upgrade the mobo/processor/ram.
what have you tried, learned, and/or recommend to get the 9300 upgraded to close to or better than the m90 with t7200?

Feb 4, 2010So I've just bought a second hand studio 1640 from ebay (t9600 + 4670), got myself a 130w power supply and am running throttle stop (otherwise any games I play start to stutter within 20 mins or so).
I have noticed that the laptop gets insanely hot very quickly, even with the laptop lifted up a cm above the table to increase the airflow its at 100c on motherboard and nearly the same on CPU within 15 mins of me playing mass effect. i was wandering if anybody has any suggestions on how to make it run cooler?

Jun 18, 2009As I took my Dell Studio 1555 apart to upgrade the cpu (not a job for the feint hearted!) I took some photo's of the mainboard and HS/Fan.
If any of you have noticed high temps in HWMonitor on one of the ACPI I have tracked it down to be related to the GPU. Well when you look at the Heatsink you will see why!
Thermal pad on GPU
Tiny heat sink with copper bar which sticks to the back of the fan assembly

Dell :: Inspiron 9300. Bad Temperature Can Mobo Be Fixed
Oct 21, 2007I have an Inspiron 9300 that recently started having 100% CPU usage all of the time. After a lot of wild goose chases, the reason turns out to be that 3 out of 4 of its temperature sensors (CPU, Video, and soDimm) think that it is 255 degrees C inside the unit.
Error Code 3900-0626
Msg: Temperature Sensor out of range, temp=255C, min=10C, max=100C
As a result, the CPU steps down to preserve itself. I get perhaps 250MHz core speed rather than the 1.6 GHz the unit is rated for.
In any event, all other hardware diagnostics are fine, the machine runs ok (though very slow), and is otherwise healthy.
The Dell guys say that I need a new Motherboard, but I was wondering the following?
1) Whether the thermistors can be replaced by a shop that does motherboard repair
2) If getting an XPS Gen 2 mobo is worth a try. Would I still have to get new batteries, bios, etc if I planned to keep my existing graphics card? Can I do it without spending too much more money now that I would have to spend anyway on a stock mobo?
