Dell :: 1537 Sucks

Jul 11, 2009

I got this computer like two,three months ago and it sucks. Sometimes while I am using the built in mouse my pc will autmatically zoom in on the screen. Sometimes it freezes and I can't use the mouse and I will have to click another screen to get it to work.

It runs slow. In the beginning it would constantly blue screen or have to system restore. Also the speakers suck. Sometimes while outside or other places trying to listen to the speakers they only go so loud.

I called Dell and they said it's a software issue and they need money to help me. Best Buy would probably charge me the same thing after I already shelled out over a thousand buying the computer and warranty.

Sometimes I just want to throw this pc over the balcony so I can get a new one but how do you explain that right? Anyways if someone could help me with these problems I would really appreciate it.

Dell :: Studio XPS Sucks

Jul 6, 2009

when I purchased Studio XPS Laptop - 1640 (I am in India), I was very very happy at that time!

Till June 2009, I was using USB modem to connect to internet, But then I switched to LAN and Wifi and PC started getting locked. Also, My DVD burner doesnt work. Not only this, My Dell Touchpad doesnt work correctly at all! Even, Eject button doesnt work.

After talking to technician it is confirmed that there are many hardware problems! He said that someone will come to my house today and will replace motherboard, some panel thing and DVD burner and will check touchpad.

Till now no has come, I think may be tomorrow someone will come.

Also, they said that they can not replace my laptop and if problems occurs even after replacing parts they will not help me anymore.

Dell :: Screen Resolution Sucks

Jul 28, 2009

I just got my new Studio XPS 1640 in the mail today and got a little excited. I started tweaking stuff galore, following the variety of vista tweaking thread for reducing boot time, speeding up your comp etc... but I think I must have screwed something up because the computer started lagging like crazy. i couldn't even navigate in "My Computer"

So me, being all excited and dumb decided that I would reinstall Vista and partition my C drive (which is a 256gb SSD btw, if that's important), instead of learning about the Factory Image Restore.

So now my screen resolution sucks, and I'm frustrated and tired of trying to fix this. I just want it back to how it was before, fresh out of the box. I have the Vista CD and The Driver CD, and I tried installing every damned driver and application and whatever, but it's never the same as it came out of the box.

I can't find the webcam or facial recognition software anywhere and I'm missing the cool dock at the top and bleh. I'll stop ranting, but if anyone. ANYONE, knows how to help me I would greatly appreciate it. I just want the good laptop that I paid 2000$ for.

Dell :: Inspiron 1525 Touchpad Sucks .. How To Make It Better?

Jan 25, 2009

I was on a friend's brand-new inspiron 1525 today. After I began using it, I immediately noticed just how awful the touchpad is.

It is extremely inprecise. It's almost as if the sensitivity is constantly changing as I use the touchpad. I don't remember if I tried adjusting the settings; if I did, it didn't help.

I soon discovered that if you move your finger in a perfectly straight horizontal motion across the touchpad (no vertical motion), the cursor, as it's moving across the screen, will also 'bounce" up and down, getting worse towards the right side of the tochpad.

It doesn't abruptly jump at all; rather, it's as if the linearity of the touchpad is WAY off.

I know that on the dell site it states that the studio only supports 4gb ram. But I know the chipset supports 8gb ram. I was wondering if any one has tried more than the 4gb.When I look at the report from everest, it states that the system supports 8gb.

Dell :: Windows 7 On 1537

May 13, 2009

I installed Windows 7 RC on my 1537 recently.

Everything seems to working fine except two minor issues:

1 - The Wifi locator button does not work any more.

2 - The screen overlay when I press mute, volume up, and volume down no longer appears on the screen.

Does anyone else have these issues with their Win7 installation?

Also, can anyone tell me the names of the programs use in Vista for these two features?

Dell :: Some 1537 Questions

May 27, 2009

Ok, so i got a new 1537 as the upgrades in the 1555 didn't impressed me.

But I have some questions...
The T3400 has like 55 Celsius in Idle...is it normal? If so...is better to upgrade later to the T6400 or P8400?
Also i would like to buy a backlit keyboard and a bluetooth adapter. Is there any store where I can find both? I need shipping to Canada.

All 1537 have a LED backlit screen?

Dell :: 1537-laptop

Apr 26, 2009

I've bought a Dell 1537 laptop. It is a P8400, 3GB, 250GB, GMA4500MHD, TrueLife 1280x800.

I have some problems with it, and since I'm new to the world of laptops, I thought you might help me out.

I was very dissapointed when I discovered that it has no support for WinXP.
I've installed Vista SP1 Business, but I still miss my trusty XP.
I've seen that there are some XP drivers on samsware, but I wouldn't install them unless I was assured that they are as good as the latest ones from Dell.
(I've installed the latest ones, and flashed the BIOS to A08)

Here are some of my problems:
1)There is a constant noise, from the moment I start the laptop, it sounds like the fan, but I think it's from the HDD(Hitachi HTS543225L9A300). Why would the fan kick in it the cpu has the room temp? I've heard the fan, but when the CPU touched 50C.
Is there any chance I could get rid off this noise?
Also can I lower the noise of the HDD when it writes?

2)Sometimes I also hear a high pitched noise, I think it's that CPU whine problem. Is there a solution for it?

3)I've removed the IDT drivers, and let Vista install its own, the sound improved a lot, but there still is some sort of a resonance, at medium to high levels. Anyone else had this problem?

4)Can I adjust the size of the memory shared for the video card?

5)I have the impression that the image is not that smooth(I can see the pixels quite clear, and rounded letters/objects seem "pixelated"), and that I have to take a bit of distance from the LCD, to improve it(I'm using the native resolution, the dpi is set to the lowest level, 96dpi if I remember correctly).
Any advices?
(The colours are OK, but the angles are awful.)

6)Can I hide the partition that came with the laptop? Dunno for sure, what's on it, I assume it is MediaDirect.

7)Is there any chance I could use an external eSATA hdd and boot OS from it?

Dell :: How To Get A Replacement Key For 1537?

Sep 12, 2009

I have a Studio 1537 and just now the F key fell off, the top left clip is broken I think, so It's attached via only three clips, and when I push it to the right, it will fall off! I've only had this for five months! ah it's fallen off again.

I've e-mailed dell about a replacement already, but they don't work saturdays unfortunately.

I've had a look on eBay and there seems to be replacement keys for around £4 each, does anyone have any experience of this? But mine is a backlit keyboard, so will need a backlit key

Dell :: Studio 1537 Fan

Feb 17, 2009

is it normal for a the fan on a studio 1537 to ramp up every 5 minutes or so? It doesn't go to full speed but its cleary audible and a little annoying. When it happens when I'm just browsing the web etc so nothing is being taxed.

Its about a month old and I have had the fan replaced but didn't really make a difference. Is the controller part of the fan assembly? Is there something else I need to get replaced? or is this the case of the laptop jsut trying to keep optimal temperature?

Dell :: Studio 1537 Sound

Apr 9, 2009

Got a new Studio 1537 and read a lot about the sound being improved by removing the IDT drivers.

The sound on mine isn't great but I've never had a laptop before so have nothing to judge it by.

Are the new 1537's still improved by removingthe IDT drivers or have Dell already improved it. I don't want to uninstall drivers if its not going to make any difference.

Dell :: Studio 1537 And Windows 7

Nov 11, 2009

Did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on a Studio 1537 and have a few questions. First off is how do I get the Dell backup software installed? My previous OS was Vista 32 bit so as I'm running a 64 bit os the disks that originally came with my computer probably won't be of any use.

I also require the Dell webcam software program. S Dell has a site where you can download this software but like a number of pages on Dell's site, it doesn't seem to work, does not recognize my service tag..

I also need software for the fingerprint reader. I found the driver for it, Authentec Inc but for some reason I can't find my previous software, Digital Persona Fingerprint Software.

Let me correct that, I did find it on their website but for some reason the program never fully installs itself. It says that it's now preparing to enrolling process but never does
