Dell :: Laptop, 6400 Vs 4300, And GPU
Apr 22, 2009I've been looking at laptops recently because I had a liquid scare w/ my current. I've been looking at the e6400 and e4300 alot at the outlet, they seem to be good machines for a good price.
Is there any downside to the e4300? I like the fact that its a whole pound lighter. I can get the same spec'd e4300 for aboug $50 more. It looks to just be a smaller clone of the e6400.
What about the GPU in the e6400? I've read alot of overheating issues, but I'm afraid to not have the power. I don't play games, I watch movies occasionally and I plan on using an external monitor in the future. Would I be able to do that w/o the nvidia gpu?
I noticed they come w/ a 3 year warrenty...do the provide mail in, or would it be worth it to pay for on site?
Dell :: Unwilling 6400 Replacement
Mar 26, 2009I recently had a little incident that rendered my old Inspiron 6400 unusable (and a biohazard; it got barfed on). Anyway, fortunately my CompleteCare warranty isn't up until May and I managed to get a replacement--but the tech said he couldn't guarantee that all the specs of the new laptop would be as good as my old ones. He wrote in his notes that I needed a 1680*1050 screen or larger and a dedicated graphics card (I do a lot of image editing), but what are the chances that I'll get a computer back that doesn't have these?

Dell :: Inspiron 6400 Screen Become Dim
Aug 22, 2009All of a sudden, after some time, when I turned the laptop the screen has become very dim and I can't get it back to normal. I tried Fn+Up but it doesn't work.

Dell :: Bad Flash On Inspiron 6400
Jan 2, 2009The thing is that my aunt started downloading updates and things from Dell (as she told me,
I wasn't there) and in one of those updates, there was the bios, she updated the system, and then it never came back to life...,
so I was wandering if there is a recovery method with a usb floppy drive (I have one),
since I've tried the Windows Key + F and Fn + F with no avail, is there other option, other than replacing the motherboard? (I live in Chile, and here all computer related things are very expensive... and I don't have credit card to order overseas )
Dell :: E1505/ 6400 Motherboard Or Ram Going Bad?
Jan 8, 2010I purchased this laptop about 3 years ago and up until a few months ago it was a well capable laptop. Since the original purchase I put 2 gigs of Ram in and a new higher capacity HD and thats about it.
Around a year ago I started noticing the audio skipping on everything. Youtube, all video file types, mp3's and flacs. It didn't really bother me at the time because it was a skip or static sound every several seconds. Now more recently it is once every second and really bothering me.
Dell :: No Boot/startup On 6400

Dell :: 6400 - My Laptop Is Not As Fast As It Should Be
Sep 29, 2008My laptop is not as fast as it should be.
Simple tasks are freezing/stalling for a couple of seconds before they respond. For example, when I open "control panel" it takes about 3-5 seconds to get all the icons up. When I open volume control from the tray, it takes a good 2 seconds to respond to me clicking on the volume bar. Lastly, iTunes has noticably slowed down as well; takes a second or two to respond to my commands.
Maybe im nit picking here, but should simple tasks respond instantaneously?
I have definitely noticed a slowdown since I got this machine 4 weeks ago.
This is all with just iTunes and one or two windows in Firefox open. IE7 is not even an option cuz its so much slower.
For clarity, I have the following:
Core Duo/9400 @2.53
4.00 GB RAM
32-Bit Vista Ultimate

Dell :: Hinge Issue For 6400/1505
Oct 14, 2009Hinge issue for 6400/1505
View 6 Replies View RelatedDell :: Inspiron 6400 / E1505 Need Hinge
Mar 25, 2010In the forefront we can see the hinge, and in the background we can see the piece behind the hinge (PBTH) - I have no idea what to call it, so from now on it will refer to it as the PBTH. =)
Ok, the problem I've had - for years - is that the PBTH does not stay where it is supposed to stay.. the three plugs do not stay in their holes. This has caused the outer plastic part of the LCD cover to split when I close the lid.
After a few years of this, the bezel cracked on me... so I decide to get a new bezel, and I tried to fix the hinge problem.
I'm not sure what mechanism was used to keep those 3 prongs in their holes, but I was going to try contact cement (for a lack of better ideas) - if you have any other ideas, please let me know.
But now my problem is this:
Last night I glued the PBTH into place, put everything back together..tried close the lid - was met with major resistance - and the glue/PBTH bond broke.
Dell :: RAM Compatibility (upgrading On Inspiron 6400)
Aug 16, 2009I want to upgrade the ram on an older Inspiron 6400 from 1gb to 2gb. When I look online (including old posts on this site), it seems there are 2 options:
2 x 1GB Module 1024MB-533MHz DDR2-533 PC2-4200, 200p SODIMM; or
2 x 1GB Module 1024MB-667MHz DDR2-667 PC2-5300, 200p SODIMM.
Would my system be compatible with either types of ram? It currently runs 2 x 512MB 533MHZ DDR2-533 PC2-4200 .....
Dell :: Inspiron 6400 Battery Needs To Be Replaced
Aug 28, 2009She's been getting a message when she turns it on that the battery has lasted as long as it can last and need to be replaced but she NEVER unplugs the system (
It's a 17" desktop replacement so she can sit in the kitche. (lolstereotypes))
My dad told her that it now wont turn on because the battery final bit the dust but it wont turn on plugged in.
It wont turn on without the battery in it either when it's plugged in. My dad ordered her a new battery she doubts it will fix it
Dell :: Inspiron 6400 Battery Dead?
Feb 26, 2009I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 which I bought in the UK new from Dell in April 2007.
The battery is a 9 Cell type (upgraded when bought).
Within the first year it got used on the battery most of the time.
After that it has been plugged in with battery (for backup incase of power outage) about 95% of the time.
Now the power only lasts a few minutes before it totally dies. It charges up to 100% and discharges normally down to roughly 85%. Then this is the strange part, it jumps all the way down to 6% charge .....

Apr 4, 2009I'm currently using a Dell inspiron 6400/E1505 notebook although i wish to upgrade to a studio 15 or 17 i cannot afford it at the moment i can however afford to upgrade the notebook i have a little bit more, the 2 upgrades i'm considering are,
Upgrading the RAM to 2 x 2gb (I spoke to someone on these forums a while ago about it and apparently it is possible) but i'm unsure if its worth it because i can't see anything that'll be different enough to warrant the upgrade .....
Dell :: Inspiron 6400 Screen Shuts Off

Dell :: 6400 Doesn't Recognize New Battery
Dec 19, 2008So my laptop has been taking a crap lately. First the power supply broke and had to get a new one and now the battery is down to 30-40 minutes. I bought a 9 cell battery off ebay and just got it in. I plugged it in and the laptop says "Battery not recognized, will not charge." Whats up with it? Is there a way to get it charging? I don't have the money to buy the $200 battery from Dell.
View 10 Replies View RelatedDell :: 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 :: Inspiron 1505 And 6400 Keyboard(s)
Jun 23, 2009I have a question. I'm trying to figure out if the inspiron 1505 and the inspiron 6400 have identical keyboards?
basically, i bought a 6400 a few years ago, it's still under warranty. It got stolen not long after i bought it.
I got my GF a 1505 and considering it was so cheap i didn't bother with an extended plan. now her keyboard is having problems.
So, basically i want to know if i can call dell and get them to send me a 6400 keyboard, (because it's under warranty), then put it in the 1505? then just send them the 1505 keyboard back?
Dell :: Inspiron 6400 Motherboard Issues
Jun 18, 2009My original Dell motherboard recently got fried (smoke, zap noise etc). I ordered a new one from eBay as Dell Canada doesn't sell them. The new one arrived today and I put it all back together.
When trying to power up, the green lights turn on for a couple seconds then goes off and nothing happens. The fan doesn't even power up.
Could it be something I did wrong (I've triple checked everything!), a bad replacement motherboard, or perhaps something else that got fried when the original one died.
