HP/Compaq :: HP Laptop Losing Time And Date
Apr 16, 2009I own an HP Pavilion dv6000.
I am constantly losing my time and sometimes date. I have checked that I have selected the correct time zone many times. The clock always jumps backwards, not forward and it is never a set amount of time. However it is usually between 30-45 minutes back. Very rarely the date will randomly jump back several years. I'm not sure what the problem is.
Some friends have told me it could be:
1)Virus or such, but i have done several scans already.
2) Dying CMOS battery
3) Or something about BIOS time being off, I'm not sure what it meant.
I guess if it is the CMOS battery, is there anything i should know before replacing it (like saving some settings or something?) or can i just unscrew the back of my laptop pop out the battery and pop in a new one?

Dell :: Preliminary Ship Date?
Jun 25, 2009How accurate are the preliminary shipping dates posted when you are customizing a system online? If I select an option that may delay the ship date, is the estimated delay only a precaution or does it actually delay by that much?
View 7 Replies View RelatedDell :: The Never-ending Ship Date
May 27, 2009I ordered a Dell Prcision M4400 mobile workstation on April 27th. It is now MAY 27th and I STILL don't have my computer!
Every week, on the day the order is scheduled to ship, the shipping date is suddenly shifted one more week away. So far, this has happened to me 4 times!
When I call Dell they always assure me that such-and-such is the ship date, but then, yet again, the ship date is delayed another week. It doesn't matter if I explain what has been happening - they just repeat back like a parrot that the system says that it will ship on such-and-such a date.
I can see that for myself on the website! What I wanted was some kind of an explaination for the ridiculous delays and some kind of an assurance that I'll be getting my computer sometime within the current epoch
Dell :: Estimated Ship Date
Apr 9, 2009so this is my first time buying a laptop from dell and im a little confused about the estimated ship date.
It says that my estimated ship date is april 20th so does that mean they will ship the item on the 20th or will it will arrive at my house on the 20th?
and also how long does it usually take for the item to arrive after it has shipped from the warehouse?

Dell :: Studio XPS 16 Build
Jul 6, 2009I will be using this mainly for 3D Cad work, presentations and some gaming and I have a few questions before ordering regarding the processor and then the optical drive.
1. Is it worth it to go to the t9550 over the p8700 for the processing power and dealing with increased heat issues and power consuption?
2. I won't do much blu-ray so is it better to stay with the 8x DVD since is faster at reading and writing in general?
3 I ask because of the wonderful dell-hell I'm in. I have to order with one of these upgrades to keep my price up (over 1504)and get the restocking fee back from a previous order. (Processer +$125 and blu-ray +$150) Which one would you choose if you had to?
Config as of now is (cost $1554):
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9550
4GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1067MHz

Dell :: Estimated Ship Date Vs Actual
Nov 13, 2008Has anyone encountered abnormally long ship dates for recently ordered laptops?
I ordered a Studio 15 / Mini 9 combo about a week ago and the ESD for the Mini 9 is next week, and the ESD for the Studio 15 is early December. In the past I've gotten my custom-ordered laptops within a week of ordering.
I also noticed that the Purchase ID info does not show billing or shipping info, although I did receive email confirmation with that info.
What's going on? Will I receive lemons because Dell is making everyone take unpaid leave?

How's the build quality on E6410 compared to Thinkpad T410? Creaks, flexing, etc? I'm almost sure this month my next purchase won't be a Thinkpad and Latitude seems to be a good choice. Our office use them.
I currently have a 6-year old T41 and 2-year old T61. I'll miss the keyboard and trackpoint but i can live with that.

Dell :: Does Build Computers On Weekends?
Jul 27, 2009I was just wondering and this may have already been asked, but does Dell build laptops/desktops on weekends?
I would think with so many orders they get they would have to, but I am not so sure.
I placed an order for an XPS laptop to be built during mid-week last week, and my thought process is that they
will build as much as they can for the customers machine during the weekdays, but will set it aside until the next week comes around and take the weekend off?

Dec 4, 2009I received my Studio XPS 1645 this Monday. My Specs:
-I7 820
-8G Ram
-128g SSD
-RGB Screen
-Blue-Ray
The machine runs beautifully and the screen is amazing but I am having what seems to be an incredible amount of build quality issues. I wanted to know if others have had the same issues and how they resolved them...
-The tech is coming for a second time to fix my screen. It came out of the box with a large scratch. The second screen has several dead pixels.
-Above the keyboard, in front of the screen, the batter (9-cell) doesn't fit flush
-The Sound is uneven. It is FAR louder coming out of the right side than the left. The settings in the control panel seem fine.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHP/Compaq :: Updating Warranty Start Date
Sep 25, 2009So I bought a sealed box 8530w off eBay. Now I know from previous HP business models that the warranty start date on the online lookup tool starts from the day the laptop was manufactured. This hasn't ever been an issue in the past, since I got previous laptops second hand anyway.
But this one is already nearly 6 months into its 3 year warranty. I guess it has been sitting around sealed in its box for a while.
So...
1. Is there any way I can get HP to update the warranty start date? (I'm getting an invoice from the seller as we speak)
2. Assuming I can, will that new warranty start date be reflected in the online lookup?
3. Will the new warranty start date be transferable if I sell the laptop, or will it only apply to me, with my name on the invoice?
