I just got my Dell 1720 laptop and I'm impressed, very nice.
I also purchased a Belkin laptop case for it.
Just wondering which way down into the laptop case do I put the laptop. the back of the laptop has the battery sticking out because its got the 9cell battery.
Do I put it down in the case battery side so the wieight of the laptop is on the battery or on the front side where the buttons are?
Dont want to break it.
I recently bought a nice Targus back pack for my new laptop, but I noticed that it will not fit due to the battery sticking out the rear about an inch...does anybody know of any aluminum cases (preferred) or nice back packs that will fit this inside it?

I have spend hours on the internet as well as visiting all of the local stores (Comp USA, Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, etc) and can't find one big enough!

i had a HP Pavillion dv6904ca and had sent it in for repair 4 times cause of graphics failures all of which failed to fix the problem. recently i was given a case manager, and low and behold they say they would replace the laptop for me. They decide to give me and HP HDX 16-1140us as a replacement and they tell me i need to send the laptop in first and then once recieved they would send the new laptop. so far its been about a week and a half and still no new laptop. so my question is if anyone here had to go through hp case manager to replace laptop, how long did it take to receive the new one? I know it sounds like a dumb question but i need my laptop for school and cant go very long without it.

I was wondering if anyone else already owns one of the gemstone blue laptops and has tried a laptop bag or case out for it.
The gemstone blue laptops come in a 16 inch and 18.4 inch screen size and have an aspect ratio of 16:9 instead of 16:10.
I have an inspiron 1720 laptop 6 years old and have done an image restore to try and return it to its original state. I have a recovery partition and a factory.wim file.
I run command prompt as an administrator and use: imagex /apply e:dellimagefactory.wim 1 d:
This appears to restore, takes around 20 mins to reach 100%, but on rebooting the machine its still in its current state....Do I need to do an extra step? what have i missed?
I'm a proud new owner of a MBP 13-inch. couple of matters.
(1) A good skin/sleeve/cover/case to protect it on the go. Ideally I'd like a very lightweight and elegant skin or shell that's on all the time to protect the exterior from wear and tear, without trapping too much heat.
(2) I need a sleek padded case to carry the unit and typical accessories (charger, adapters, mouse) and other small items.
(3) I'm looking for a convenient laptop stand for my desk to set the MBP alongside an external monitor.
The build quality on my Studio 1535 is really, astonishingly poor. All cheap plastic and case creaks and noises. Very flimsy, even for a budget laptop.
My question is this- Would it be possible to purchase another case- a better case, perhaps and XPS or something similar,
and move the internals from the Studio to the new case? Or would that just be a logistcal nightmare not even worth attempting?
Has anyone here done an XPS m1530 case mod? I'd like to take off the front panel of my 1530 and do a custom paint job on it, but from the few sites where I've seen instructions for disassembling the 1530 it seems like a huge hassle.
If I weren't using spray paint, I suppose I wouldn't need to take it apart. But I'm new to case modding, and I haven't seen any mods done with anything other than spray paint.
What type/brand of case is everyone using to tote around their E4300. I just got mine in yesterday and I need something to protect her!

I didnt think the Studio XPS 16 would fit but its an actual PERFECT fit.
it's the best case on the market in my opinion. And it retails for $99.00 but I got it through amazon for $55.00 brand new. It's awesome!
I'm putting this in this forum because of the difficulty many have had finding a good case for the SXPS 16..
But I figured more SXPS 16 users would see this here .....
Whats your opinion on the case design? Im looking to purchase and looking at the case it looks kind of frimpy and ugly, and that ripple effect on the outside seems very cheesy!
But i've been fooled many times by pictures online vs. the look of something in person.
By contrast, the 6400 series look like they have beautifully elegant case designs with aluminum look to them.
I removed a label from the palm rest of my M6400. Unfourtunately it left behind a sticky residue. In my defense it was the "regulatory information is under the battery" sticker and I am pretty sure it is supposed to be easy to remove.
View 3 Replies View RelatedGot them off a seller on ebay for about $1.50 each $2.50 total combined postage. The 2 Vista and 1 Firefox ones on the left side were ones the seller threw in for free.
The four I ordered, Graphics by Nvidia, Nvidia - The Way Its Meant To Be Played, Intel Core 2 Duo and G.Skill Ram. The Nvidia and Intel ones were Offical badges, the G.Skill one was a custom design by the seller but looks equally professional.
Thought the palmrest looked very bare.
Decided to place them vertically with the originals. I do realise theres 2 Intel ones but I didnt want anybody thinking I only had an old Core 1 .
What do you guys use?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to install a backlit keyboard into my e4300.
I removed all the visible screws but the case is still intact.
Are there screws behind the rubber pieces?
Has anyone successfully disassembled the e4300 before? I wasn't able to find any documentation or photos anywhere.
I noticed recently that the area of the laptop on the left of the touchpad and the touchpad itself have been getting quite hot to the touch.
I've read the temperature survey thread, and I don't think my temperatures are that bad.
When idle, I get around 50-55 C for the cores, and 60-65C for the GPU. It's higher than that under load, (GPU/CPU can go into 70's) but as far as I understand it's not atrociously bad.
(These are SpeedFan temps).
But I am bothered that the handrest is getting so hot, I'm not sure if it used to get this hot because I use a laptopstand that has its own handrest so I rarely touch it.
Well I acquiered my Laptop last december and im noticing a few scratches, I googled for cases and covers but I didn't find anything amazing,
I've noticed people with macs that hace sweet looking covers but I haven't found any for my Dell, do you guys know any web page that sells them?
I recently bought a 14z from dell outlet. I had actually bought a 14z a few weeks ago, but was very unhappy with the 720p screen. I arranged for a return, and began looking/waiting for one with a 900p screen. I was able to find one for not much more than the first one, with all the same specs. However, it had the black chain link cover.
I knew I didn't want this cover, as I already have my Sager 9262/fingerprint magnet. I very much liked the red textured finish on my fist 14z, so I bought a refurbished red cover with my purchase.
Let me first say that I am fairly experienced in taking apart, and reassembling notebook computers. I have replaced several parts, including motherboards, and screens in several previous dell models and my Sager/Clevo D901C.
To get to the point, I took my new 14z apart, removed the screen, took that apart, and replaced the black chain link cover with the red one I purchased. I made sure to follow the service manual instructions to the letter. Everything seemed to go fine, except that now when closing my 14z, the top right corner of the screen does not come down all the way. There is an obvious gap, maybe 1/4 inch or so on the right side, while the left is completely flush.
This may be something I just have to live with, but I'm hoping maybe someone has experienced this, either on a new laptop, or after working on one, and was able to find the culprit. so far, I can't find anything that would hinder flush contact.
I have a inspiron 1440 that is my daughters and I would like to change the case top to pink.Has anyone changed that cover and does anyone know where to get a Dell cover?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI posted earlier a message about my Vostro 1500 which suddenly won't start. I called Dell and a local repair shop, and both indicate it's most likely the motherboard, and will cost anywhere from $300-$500 to fix.
Just not worth it - I'll get me a new lighter laptop instead. However, read where you can get a hard drive case to get the data off the hard drive and to use as a backup drive
My Inspiron 9400/E1705 case is getting a little banged up and I was wondering if it's possible to use a M1705 case (bezel, palmrest, base, etc). as a replacement.
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that the laptop is getting extremely hot on the left side of keyboard during any games i play, even older games. I literally cannot rest my left hand to use keyboard as it is frying it.
When i initially bought the laptop 4 months ago I could play those games and the case (keyboard area including) would stay perfectly cool. I had even played need for speed hot pursuit new with full graphics and laptop was cool.
There is a definite massive difference in case temperature between initial month or so and recently.
HW monitor program recorded temperatures of 85 degrees max for i5 processor, and around 72-78 degrees on graphics card during game play on a variety of games old and new.
Worth to mention that during other lightweight activities, such as surfing etc the laptop is cool.
Can anyone recommend me a case for soon to arrive 1545, it would be great if it could take 2 laptop, other being a Latitude D830.
