Dell :: Latitude E6400/6500 Touchpad Is Bad, How To Make It Less Bad
Oct 24, 2009This is not the newest topic but it's been well described that the Latitude E series' touchpad is crappy. With the launch of Windows 7, I thought that I'd give the new touchpad drivers a try. Still as crappy.
This is the worst touchpad and pointing stick that I can remember using on a laptop. Normally I wouldn't care, but actually having a terrible nav system really stinks more than I thought it would.
Well, my stop-gap solution was to simply remove the Dell touchpad drivers altogether and go native with whatever Windows 7 detected. What an amazing difference! The touchpad is usable now (it doesn't freeze and it tracks much better).....
Dell :: Fan/Temperature Issues: Do You Dock Your E6400/6500
Mar 9, 2009Im trying to gauge what everyone else is experiencing when they are docking their Latitudes.
More specifically, as it relates to fan usage and general temperature.
That said, I have three questions:
1) If you own the Nvidia and you have fan issues, have you just resigned to the fact that your fan runs all the time or are you still looking for a solution?
2) If you own the Intel Graphics card, can you share your fan experience(s) when your laptop is docked?
3) Lastly, please indicate if you are using the laptop open when docked, closed with one external monitor or, two external monitors.
Dell :: Can A Battery Slice Be Modded To Fit A Precision M6400?
Jan 7, 2010I have an m6400 already but the battery just doesn't quite work for me at school. I could sell it, snag an m4400 + slice, get a netbook,
or keep my m6400 and somehow make the battery last longer. I suppose I could just put it to sleep and change batteries but that seems
Dell :: E6400 Or E4300?
Mar 19, 2009I'm in the process of trying to decide between getting an E6400 or E4300 to replace my aging Toshiba A105-4074. I'm somewhat surprised by the lack of discussion here about the E4300 compared with the huge number of threads about the E6400.
I have an E4300 here at work that I have been impressed with, so I have hands-on experience with it. I haven't had any hands-on experience with the E6400, and have only seen one briefly. While I've read lots of good things about it, I wish I could use one for a couple of days in order to get a feel for it .....

Dell :: E4300 Or E6400
Dec 27, 2008I need some advice on picking the E4300 or E6400. The pricing in my country is a little different from the US I guess. I'm stuck on deciding with which machine as the pricing is about the same (see below).

Dell :: Considering Moving From E6400 To E4300
Oct 26, 2009I love my E6400, but sometimes I think having an ultraportable would better meet my needs. I'm considering switching to an E4300 for this reason and am looking for some input. The specs of my E6400: P8400, WXGA+ LED backlit, 4GB RAM, 160GB 7200rpm HDD, Intel 5300, 4500MHD, 9 cell. What I'm most concerned about is build quality, keyboard and screen quality, power, weight, and battery life between the two systems. I really like the screen on my E6400 and I'm worried that I'll be disappointed downgrading to a WXGA. Also, would I be saving an appreciable amount of weight by moving from an E6400 with a 9 cell to an E4300 with a 6 cell, enough so that it would justify switching laptops? Basically, is there anything I might be disappointed in by going from an E6400 to an E4300?

View 10 Replies View RelatedDell :: ESata Plug Differences: E6500 Vs. E6400 Vs. E4300
Mar 5, 2010I wanted to share with the forum some strange, yet interesting findings that I've come up with in the last week or so.
First, some background. I am the IT manager/senior admin for my company. I do all of the purchasing and high end tech stuff, so I get to play with a fair amount of hardware and equipment before deploying it to the company.
For the last year or so, I've owned an E4300 as my work laptop, and have been purchasing E6400's to deploy to our company. Some of our consultants have dual internal hard drives using the Newmodeus optical bay caddy, and use an esata/usb combo port to power their optical devices when they need. We also utilize the Coolmax esata/usb enclosures for external drives. All of these devices work great on our older E6400's and my E4300.
Recently, I made another order of some E6400's and 2 E6500's as a trial. No matter what I do, the Newmodeus cables (I have a hard drive one as well) will NOT work with the E6500 and 1 of our new E6400s. Occasionally, by wiggling the cable in the plug and pushing hard, I can get a device to be detected for a few seconds. I decided to have Dell come out and replace the motherboard in 1 to see if I got a defective board.
Well, that didn't help at all, so I dug a little deeper. I borrowed a colleagues Coolmax enclosure, and plugged that in. To my amazement, it worked fine. I compared the esata cables....and the Coolmax cable is ~1-2mm longer than the Newmodeus cables.
The port depth on some of these machines must be a little deeper than others, not allowing the cable to fully seat and get a good connection. I have 2 E6500's and 1 E6400 with this issue.
My next plan of attack is to use a small saw to cut a little of the plastic off the Newmodeus cables to see if I can get them to seat a little deeper. I will report back my findings. I never thought something so simple would be such a PITA.
Dell :: E4200 Takes A Second Battery And Has Display Port Out?
Aug 27, 2009The e4200 has 1 powered usb port and an esata/usb combo port only right? Also I heard it takes a second battery and has display port out?
Dell's site didn't explain that well and I'd like to know from someone who has one.

Dell :: Before/after Temps With Cool Slice For Latitude/precision
Nov 16, 2008if anyone with the coolslice could report on how effective its passive design is at cooling the notebook?
In particular i would be interested in someone with a precision m4400....
Before and after temps would be helpful, how warm the bas of the cooler is when its attached, or if it feels always cool..also if it manages to keep the fan on "medium" speed most of the time....
Dell :: Xps M1330 Vs M1550 Vs Hp 6500
Apr 1, 2008I am thinking about getting either the M1550 or M1330. I've read all kinds of online reviews, looked at specs, etc., ad nauseum.
What I am looking for in this post is USER OPINIONS from those of you who actually own any of these laptops and have used them for a while now.
Basically, I want to use it for entertainment (cd/dvd burning, movies, iTunes), productivity, net surfing, and some occasional gaming (desktop covers that base for me).
Dell :: Has Anyone Used The 6400/6500 With A Docking Station
Oct 15, 2008My laptop's fan WILL NOT turn off. Its spinning at blow dryer speeds all the time.
Initially I thought I had a lemon with some heat issues, so I returned it and DELL sent me a new one. I received it today and it has the same problem as the one before.
Apparently this laptop runs super hot when in the docking station-the reason being, I have no clue.
im worried that the internals are going to overheat cuz this fan is blowing out really hot air.
When I use it on the go or anywhere outside of the docking station-no fan problems.
Would hate to lose my docking station/external monitor...
Dell :: Latitude 6500 Display Question
Feb 3, 2009I just received my new Latitude 6500. Build seems good but the display seems a bit washed out.
It's my first laptop so maybe it's just me getting accustomed to the display. I opted for the LED LCD WXGA+.
The display is very bright but the contrast doesn't seem the same as my desktop monitor.
Colors seems a bit faded, not as vibrant as I had hoped. For example, it's hard to see the unshaded boxes on the list to the left of this page--where it says "most reviewed laptops"

May 8, 2009I have been reading about people getting so many hours out of their E6400. I have the 9 cell battery and running the screen on the lowest setting, Bluetooth off and wifi on im getting close to 6 and a half hours of battery life. Is this normal....
I heard about doing a clean install, what does this do, and what benefits would i be achieving by doing this?..
Is there anything else i can do to get a little more juice out of the battery when i need it? I plan to have wifi on most of the time when it is being used. Basic web-surfing and Microsoft word...

Aug 7, 2009I have a e6400 with SSD, a P series processor, LED screen and 9 cell battery. On the balanced mode, it is at 94% and 2h32m left. That sounds REALLY low to me. I have WiFi on, brightness up, etc. but still sounds extremely low.

Nov 4, 2009This seems to happen fairly often. Yesterday I had my computer on standby and plugged into the mains for several hours in the afternoon. I turned it on, shut it down (without looking at the battery status) and went somewhere and when I turned it back on the charge was at 6%.
Today I was using the laptop and the charge was at 70%, I shut the computer down and put it in my bag. Turned it on again in a couple of hours and the battery again is at 6%.

Dell :: E6400 Monitor Turns Off And On When Going From AC To Battery

Dell :: Latitude E6400 9 Cell Battery
Sep 19, 2009I've been reading several user experiences and figured I should join since I'm having several questions/issues with my E6400.
For now my issue is with a 9 Cell battery I purchased from fleabay.
I bought a "Geniune New" battery from a US seller. For some reason the BIOS always reads it at 99%, where as my 6 cell will go to 100%. Is this normal for the 9 cell? Also I noticed the LED light button is much harder to press on the 9 cell compared to the 6.
The only part number I could get from the 9 cell is this:
JP-0FU441-47847-917-J6NP-A01
It has all the Dell markings, recycle numbers etc. It even came with a 9 cell Dell booklet. I just wasn't sure if all these 9 cells register at 99%. My old Inspiron E1505 9 cell also registered at 99%.
