View 10 Replies View RelatedMy Laptop is Vostro 1500 with WXGA (1280x800) and my friend's ASUS G1S with 1680x1050 panel.
He doesn't like his panel because everything is too small and we decide to change panel.
Vostro panel woking great with the ASUS G1S, but ASUS panel can not work with Vostro, when turn on, the screen split 2 part in POST and change to dark when log on to windows.
We just change the panel, can not change the inverter.
How to solve this problem? Can anyone help me?
I received my Dell precision M4400 for two days now and I'm really desapointed about the quality of the screen.
I would like to know: is it possible to change this screen by a more expensive one (by paying the difference of course).

I was looking at ordering a new LCD back top cover like this: http://www.parts-people.com/index.ph...n=item&id=4240
Is it a time-consuming process or difficult?
I got my Dell 1557 about a month ago and for a while, it seemed just fine with my display brightness.
I could change it to however bright I want it to be. Then today, when I turned on my computer, my settings for my display brightness was at the highest when it normally is in the middle.
At first I thought nothing of it because I could easily change it with the F4 and F5 buttons, but after I logged on and tried to change it, nothing happened. Not even after I restarted the computer or reinstall the ATI Catalyst Center.
Specs
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Core i7-720QM
4GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM
Full HD 1080p High Brightness LED
I got dell to send me a new back cover (Blue in color) and instead of the ccfl display i had im now useing the led lcd one.
i used the metal backets that were on my ccfl display and they fit perfect on the led display. how ever when i put it back together the bezel cuts the top of the screen off and the bottom is too low.
is there a bezel espically made just for the led display or do i need to get the correct metal brackets that hold the display into the cover??
I have a Dell 1525, bought in April 08, about 3 months ago time started to get out of sync and multiple problems with battery "plugged in not charging."
So today after charging the battery from a friends external battery charger ( friend had same problem) I was updating the BIOS to A16 from A06 and when the laptop was restarting with the bios update I get a message saying "Time of Day Clock Stopped."
My question is if I replace the CMOS battery will this solve the problem?
Looking at dell documentation from
http://support.dell.com/support/edoc....htm#wp1179839
looks tedious and time consuming but not hard .....
does anyone know if there is software or a bios hack to change the ram bus speed? the m1730 is getting beat by a gateway because the bus speed on it is 1066 and it seems like we are stuck at 667.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been using a T400 for 6 months or so. As my company uses Dell, I'd been given a new E6400 (P9600, 4GB,250GB, 160M) to use. I've got vista business on the T400, re-built from scratch, working very well.
I'm thinking of cloning the drive, boot in standard VGA, remove all the lenovo software and drivers, then install the Dell ones. Would this work? Are there any downsides to that? It would really save me time and effort as I've got around 150GB of data on that drive..
Need to change the touchpad settings on my Dell XPS 14Z, running Windows Professional XP 64.
Online searches to find the touchpad settings have indicated touchpad settings could be accessed in the Control Panel under Mouse options or via an icon in the taskbar.
Unfortunately, none of these appear true. Control Panel>Mouse does not have any touchpad tabs and there is no touchpad icon in my taskbar.
Attempts to find the user manual for this model have also proved fruitless. The link on the Dell site for the XPS 14z directs me to a user manual for a different model laptop (M1330).
I need to know if I can change the color an Inspiron 6400 (gray to black), using the plastic pieces of a vostro 1000 (black). I think they are the same.
If is possible, i need to know if I just need these parts:
- Dell Vostro 1000 Palmrest and Touchpad DX354 (BLACK)
- Dell Vostro 1000 15.4" LCD Front Bezel Trim PM606 (BLACK)
- Dell Vostro 1000 15.4" LCD Back Cover KT786 (BLACK)
- Dell Vostro 1000 Power Button Hinge Cover HX873 (BLACK)
Id like to be able to change the audio out from my headphones to my desktop speakers and vice versa without having to close and re-open iTunes.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI heard some crackling from my hard drive (presumably) and then all the hard drive functions stopped. I could move the mouse but opening files, folders etc. wasn't happening.
So it seems the HD just stopped working. I had to force reboot and after that all was fine again.
I'd like to make an image/clone of the hard drive in case I need to exchange it to a new one. Can someone point me to a good preferably free program that does the job. I have Vista 64bit OS and a 250GB HD that is some basic model that Dell ship
This may be an unusual inquiry but I'm wondering how hard it can be done.
Yes, I took a look at their service manual but if you have done it and have some tips, please let me know.
I have 2 Dell Studio 1535 laptops bought from their Outlet.
System 1: Blue LCD cover, ATI 3450 video, Duo Core 2Ghz.
System 2: Black LCD cover, Intel X3100 video, backlit KB, Duo Core 2.16Ghz
My current config is in my sig.
I realy want the 8800 sli setup, but so expensive. I'll have to settle with 8700 sli .
Is this setup good for another 2-3 years?
Processor will probably be an T9300 with 4GB ram and vista ultimate.
RAID won't happen either because of budget limitations.
Is it possible to upgrade to 8800 sli later on?
Is there anyway I could buy a black keyboard to replace the tacky silver one on my XPS M1530 notebook?
And if so anyone got a link or a part number to the one I would want that would fit and work properly?
I've decided to just spiff up my current machine verses buying a new one as Dell is missing tons of options for customizing notebooks lately and I'm tired of waiting around for them.
Also, I'm assuming it's fairly easy to remove the old keyboard? I'm guessing a few of the screws on the bottom of the notebook are the keyboard screws although I'm not sure which ones they are
i read the manual, but didn't find any way to change the video card. let me know if this is possible, i'd like to change to more powerful video card. right now, mine is setup with nvidia quadro 160m.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI was on the Dell site and for the XPS M1530 it only list a 1280 by something resolution non-LED screen for the options.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have used the search, and this is the same issue as many others have described, and only provided an answer for Nvidia drivers.
I have an e1505 with XP pro installed. The video cardis ati mobility x1400. I have all but the trackpad drivers installed. Quickset is installed as well. The problem is when I close the lid of the laptop. The screen seems to resize and keep the icons at a lower resolution position. If I restart the computer, the icons loose the position and go into a standard grid on the left side of the screen. I can manually restart explorer through task manager. If I do this before i restart, the icons go back to a normal, non changed position. After restart, there is no change.
This issue only started after I plugged in an external monitor for the first time.
I have turned off quickset, and reinstalled the ATI drivers.
found a good deal on a 1555 locally but it has a blue lid. i was wondering if i can buy a black lid and just swap it out myself.

I recently downloaded A06 version of the Dell Inspiron 15r 5521 bios, and I was wondering if (and how) it is possible to change the fan speeds and temperatures for my system. I can't find any option for this.
I use F2 to reach the Setup bios interface.
I couldn't find any info on this and seem to have figured this out. On the Dell I got (Studio 1735 / Windows Vista Home Premium), the volume dialogue (the volume slider that appears when you press the up/down volume media touch buttons) showed up in some strange place in the upper left corner. I wanted it in the lower right corner.
So, follow the following steps:
1. Find the Quickset Icon in the icon tray. Right-click it and "Exit".
2. Fire up regedit (Start > Run > regedit).
3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREDell Computer CorporationQuickSet.
4. Backing up is strongly recommended as when performing any operations with the registry. At least back up the part you are changing. To backup, just rightclick the Quickset node and do "Export" to a file.
5. Find VolumeDlgX and VolumeDlgY keys. These hold the x&y position of the volume dialogue. Change them to whatever you want (note that by default the values are in HEX, but you can change them to decimal when setting them). I used the position of BrightnessDlgX/BrightnessDlgY (the Brightness dialogue which did appear where I wanted it) as reference).
6. Reboot the computer.
Note that if you start Quickset without rebooting, it appears to overwrite the registry values with the ones that were there before the change.
