Has anyone of you heard information about
when Dell may finally sell these drives?
where to find a slot load DVD DL or Blue Ray drive for my m1710? I got a pioneer K06(?) for my 9300 and the bezel is too small for the hole and it sits too far back. Works great, but doesnt look so good.

My laptop is Dell Inspiron 6400.
Whenever I play any type of game that needs a moving screen or any graphics at all, my screen will just shut off.
No sound comes out of the computer, the backlight isn't on, the screen is just dead.
I've been turning it off by taking out the battery and removing the power plug but haven't tried holding down the power button yet
Whenever I switch on my Inspiron 6400, either via the On/Off or Media Direct button, the screen almost always goes blank within less than a second. I would like to reset the computer to its original factory settings via F8 or reinstall the operating system via F12 but cannot do so because of the blank screen. Occasionally, I hear the sound which accompanies the window screen a few seconds after switching the computer on; the computer will also sometimes whirr and the number lock and wife symbols will illuminate, all whilst the screen remains blank.
This problem first developed yesterday when I received the message "NTLDR is missing". With a bit of perseverance yesterday, I could eventually get the computer to work by repeatedly switching it on an off, but this no longer seems possible today.My computer has Windows Vista.
I've had my trusty Dell Inspiron 6400 since 2006 and it's still going strong, but over the last couple of months
I've noticed that the screen doesn't appear to be as bright as it used to be. It's as if the brightness isn't set to full, but when you try to increase it you discover it is at full brightness.
Can LCD screens become dimmer over time and would a replacement screen fix this?
I have a Inspiron 6400 laptop which has a tru life screen, but it's the shiny type that is more of a mirror than a monitor
I've just upgraded to a latitude 6500 and the wife is having mine but hates the screen, so I need to get a matt finish one..... I guess cheapest place is eBay???
I also want the new screen tosupport a higher resolution, would this mean I need a new gfx card, as I'm sure it uses a intel one built into mobo ....
I'm a webdeveloper and i'm currenty searching for a new business partner laptop. I have decided on the Dell brand. I was about to pickup a macbook - but after the TONS of problems i read on Mac forums, i just won't give Steve Jobs my money ;-)
So what i would like to ask from you is the following:
Which you prefer between E 6400 and E 6500. My primary concern ofcourse is the SCREEN.
Which model and which screen option to choose.
I'm considering buying a Dell e6400 or Dell e6500. I'd prefer the I'd prefer a 15.4' screen. However, if I get that I feel like I probably should get a higher res than the basic 1280 x 800. Ideally I want 1440 x 900.
The problem is Dell only seems to offer the higher resolution in a glossy screen on either model (at least in Canada) - "UltraSharp™ Wide WXGA+ (1440x900) LED Display-Brushed Metal Black". I spoke to Dell and they said it's something in b/w an anti-glare screen and a consumer glossy screen, but I'm not sure what to make of that.
I'm wondering if anyone has this type of screen and can tell me what their experience has been? How glossy is it?
I mainly will use my laptop for writing and office work - in coffee shops, offices or the library - so I don't like have a screen that is reflective. I much prefer an anti-glare screen. I've thought about just buying the e6400 with the anti-glare 1280x800 LED screen, but like I say, would prefer to get a bigger screen if possible, so wanted to see how glossy these screens really are.
I have an Inspiron 6400 and recently a white line appeared on the screen. I took it to a repair shop and they said that the monitor needs to be replaced.
So firstly
I would like to know if it is possible to fix it without changing the screen, mainly because it is close to impossible finding a WSXGA screen in the country where I am staying now.
I am trying to figure out if my video card has gone bad on my 6400 and wanted to know if can be replaced. I have a nvidia 7200 256 mb gpu.. I am running into a problem where my screen just goes black in the middle of everything. The problem also occurs when hooking the laptop up to a monitor. Initially I thought I had a bad inverter board and bad video drivers, both have been replaced but the problem still persist. I ran the diagnostics and the screen went black during the video check. I have to reboot the pc to get the screen back on then the problem happens again.
Can the video card be replaced on the 6400?
On an old Inspiron 8000 laptop, I have a CD-ROM drive that only fits in the floppy drive slot. Will the BIOS recognize a boot CD in this new location? I believe it's an 18000 motherboard.

is it important if its a glossy/glare/matt lcd or is it just a matter of taste .......
Recently got a virus and had to reload operating software. Went from xp home to xp pro. now having problems with audio playing dvd's.
Everything elso works fine. Audio is choppy and garbled, reloaded latest drivers and codecs.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6400, Intel Centrino Core 2 duo 1.83GHz and Nvidia 7300 GO 128MB.
Current RAM is dual channel interleaved 1024MB total DDR2 SDRAM CAS 5-5-5-15 while in use is 667MHz (memtest+).
Memtest+ reports my FSB to be 166MHz.
I'm looking to get 2GB total memory, I currently have 1GB.
Been dealing with this for months now and im almost at my wits end.
When docked, my 6400 just goes on fan blowing rampages that can last 30+ minutes at TOP SPEED (I have the E series dock).
I bought a E 6400 and was wondering if anyone's right speaker grill not as solid as the left grill. I'm able to push down on it and it pushes in a little bit. The right one is really solid

I'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?
I 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?

Also, anyone know of an online maintenance manual for the Inspiron 6400?
ive read here that some have used PC2-6400 on the m1710, but it will downclock to 667.
ive tried some demo sticks of 2GB, 200-pin SODIMM, DDR2 PC2-6400 memory module http://www.crucial.com/store/partspe...e=CT25664AC800
with the result that:
1. two lights blink, uppercase and scroll lock.
2. then the system will not boot
The 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 )
I 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.
I have an Inspiron 6400 that won't power up...
The "9" light is solid and the next two are flashing (the A and down arrow).
No fans spin or anything Is the moptherboard or CPU gone?
My 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
I am not a computer wizzard and take all the help you can offer. Here is my problem. On my inspire 6400 the sreen went black. After this happened, I connected an auxilery monitor which worked perfect.
