Dell :: Did I Receive A "New" M1530
Jul 21, 2008
i've been enjoying my m1530 until i had an issue with the hard drive. i was working in a program when it suddenly restarts. it automatically runs a bios test and i get the error 2000-0141 stating a hard drive was not detected. upon a few restarts, the laptop eventually boots and it's been working fine since.
however, after putting a few facts together, i feel i didn't get a new/fresh laptop. here are some facts
hard drive issues
missing install discs and storage case
comptuer didn't arrive with plastic protection on aluminum casing
fine scratches are present on the black bezel that houses the media controls
missing other small items like the earpieces and cloth

I've read reviews, and this laptop seems to have a history of problems. Thing is I'm trading my PSP (original model) with a 4gb memory card for this laptop. So, I couldn't really pass up on the deal it has a 1.4ghz Pentium Centrino processor, 1gb ram, and 100gb hard-drive. I've just been looking for a laptop that will do the basic functions

I am getting Sending Failed error in mobile every time I try to send something to my Studio 15 from my Nokia N70.
On the other hand, when I try to send a picture from the laptop to mobile, I get Bluetooth device not found error.
However, my Bluetooth mouse is working perfectly fine.

I recently acquired the HP Mini 1000 and receive the password check failed message. No one remembers it. Can this be reset, as I am seeing in other threads?

I've bought this laptop back in 2008. Upgraded to windows 7 in Oct 2009.
I've always kept my laptop flat on my desk with no laptop cooler. My laptop has only been getting reallllly hot this pass month.
Attached is the HWmonitor graphic.
Is there more to this than just needing a laptop cooler?

When will the price of the m1530 come down?
I want it, but it costs a lot..
After christmas maybe? Or am I better off getting something else?.
I do live in canada so none of those amazing $400 off Inspiron/vostro coupons work...

I had made the mistake of lending my XPS m1530 to a friend who is in the hospital due to cancer and she gave it back all messed up.
Most everything don't work. I can't get online, a lot of programs don't work, such as trying to right or left click in the taskbar and other places... nothing happens.
I tried system restore to before she got the computer and nothing changes.
I've ran AVG and spy bot and it found some stuff, supposedly fix them, but the problems remain. I defragged too.
So what to try next? Reformat? I don't want to if I don't have to.

So I'm having heat issues with my m1530...but that seems to be the norm.
So I've got a Dell tech coming out to replace the mobo & fan/ heatsink.
Do you guys know if the Dell tech will remove the old thermal paste, and use some AS5 (provided by me of course) instead of the crappy Dell thermal paste?
If not, when would be the best time for me to do it? Right away, or should I let the thermal paste set before I remove, and replace it?

I'm getting ready to order a new m1530, but can't decide on Ram options. I know with 32-bit Vista, it only recognizes ~3.2GB of RAM, so would the benefit of 3.2GB Dual Channel be worth the upgrade from 3GB non-DC?
Has anyone noticed any problems with Aero when using non-DC?

I've just gone to install win 7 when I ran into a big thread about m1530 and x64 win7 here on the forum (in which there's no answer to this question).
I am interested what the differences are between x64 and x86 Windows 7 on m1530(i.e. in stability, performance, driver availability, else...).
My configuration is:
Intel core2duo 2.1GHz T8100
4 GB ram
GeForce 8600 GT
Intel 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI controller - says device manager (500GB hdd)
Intel PRO/ Wireless 3945ABG .....

Building an M1530 from parts and got the LED screen, Chimei part number N154C6-L02 with cable N849D.
Here is the problem; looking at the cable there is a connection for what could be an inverter/converter but I cannot find a part number from Dell or anywhere else.
Does anyone know what part this is and where I can get one? Is it the same as other Dell models with the WSXGA+ LED?

I have an XPS M1530 that's just shy of 6 months old.
Over the past 3-odd months I have begun to notice some things that I REALLY dislike about this laptop.
1. It gets UNBEARABLY hot. I'm afraid I might not be able to have kids if I use it as intended (ie: on my lap)
2. It can't play TF2, CSS or HL2 at all low settings. That's ridiculous. I suspect that may have something to do with the poor thermals.
3. Its battery life is ridiculously short. Not much of a problem in everyday life, but something that really gets to me on those >6 hour intercontinental flights.
4. The Fingerprint Application (psqltray.exe) seems to dislike Vista x64. I've caught it using up to 1,000,000K of memory.
5. The internals are of TERRIBLE quality. The heatsink offers no reassurance about thermal performance whatsoever.
6. Dell tech support is beyond incompetent. I do believe my 11-year old sister knows more about hardware problems than the 2 people I spoke to.
Can I call Dell over for a physical inspection of the laptop? I divide my time between India and Los Angeles, but most of my time is spent in LA and the laptop was bought here.

i had a XPS M1530 since Jan,2008(When first release). couple of weeks ago when there was an issue with my media buttons dell decided to change the whole system as they were not been able to fix it.
actually the light(Blue surroundings lights when once touched the media buttons) was not as brighter as they were suppose to b. when i first bought the system these lights were really brighter. but a month ago when the buttons were not working properly dell replace the whole Media Hinges Cover. i found the lights really deemed. then they again changes the hinge cover. but still the same. third times they changed the mother board, but nothing fixes the problem, i mean every times it's deemed media buttons. so they changed my whole system.
the new XPS M1530(replacement) i have received a couple of weeks. but u know guys, i was surprised to see that these media buttons r also deemed. and it was assembled in Poland where the old one was in Ireland. also i have found another changes that is, the screen light is much more brighter. something like Blueish. i don't know if it is good or bad. one of my house mate has got his old xps m1530. so i did compare just putting his one right next to my system.
they also changed hdd. my previous one was Fujitsu and this one they have put Hitachi. this hdd make little noise than previous one.
i could complain to dell and keep replacing the parts but i didn't, u know guys why, bcz this new system came along with Processor 2.5Ghz where my previous one was 2.2Ghz.

"Just install HDPARM and run the "unclick.exe".
You can put a shortcut into the windows "autostart" folder to run it directly on boot"
After that clicks form hdd gone...
But today i took it on sofa and when i picked UP it i heard like scrpas clicks FROM HDD. and in vista all started to slow.... then i didn't moving it and when i moved it (picked up) again - again this....

I now have 8 gb of ram on my xps m1530 using the A11 bios update.
I want to thank Rhodan for the idea and the original poster of the A13 bios for m1330 thread. I downloaded the a11 update and installed it. I then installed my other 4 gb sodimm and bios recognized it and windows recognizes it. this is awesome.
Kudos to Dell for listening to its ideastorm ideas and implementing the ones that really matter to us users.

So I've had my laptop a year and a half and it has always gotten very hot to the touch. Right now it is at 60 degrees C. Earlier it was up to 68 I believe. Is this normal? Also I don't ever hear a fan on and I'm not sure if it even works. Is there anyway to test this? Or am I overreacting to the temperature?

Can any dell xps m1530 take 8G of memory? I see on line that you have the option to pick 2 to 4 or 4 to 8.
but if you pick the config with 4 gigs it list 4g the highest. but you can do config 8gigs and get 4, 6,8g options.
does it require a different motherboard or will a one year old 1530 work with 8gigs?
