Dell :: Inspiron 1505 And 6400 Keyboard(s)

Jun 23, 2009

I 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 :: 1505 Wireless N-Mini For Inspiron 1525 Laptop

Jan 2, 2009

I just purchased an Inspiron 1525 Laptop it came with the 1505 Wireless N-MINI card. I have a wireless network with the Linksys Model# WRK54G. This network is secured.

I set up connection as WPA-Personal with TKIP, this mirrors my Dell desktop that connects, however it is a G level wireless card. I can not connect to the network even though the signal is excellent.

It may be obvious the fact that the wireless card in the laptop is an N an the router is a G. Will this work or do I have to get the 1395 802 11G Mini wireless card

Dell Inspiron 1505 :: Freezing / Error Code M1004

Jun 30, 2011

I have an Inspiron 1505 about five years old.  Lately my computer has been freezing and shutting down for no reason.  I can be just reading and it'll freeze.  This isn't the first time it has been happening.  Back in April I had the same problem. The error message indicated that my hard drive was going bad so it was replaced.  Now it's doing it again.  This time I got error code M1004.  From what I read, this is something about heating.  What I have noticed is that the bottom of my laptop runs extremely hot.  Will getting a cooling pad?

Dell Inspiron 1505 :: McAfee Not Functioning Properly - Errors On CHKDSK

Mar 31, 2013

I have an INSPIRON E1505 with Windows XP.  The McAfee protection was not working properly, so I contacted customer service.  They checked my computer and said that I should contact the computer manufacturer because I have errors on CHKDSK.  I've done some research on this website, but have not been able to find a solution yet.  

I ran the full Dell PC diagnostics, and everything passed except my battery.

I used this page [URL].... to guide me through chkdsk, running it from "my computer" and choosing "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors."  Phase 2 appeared to be nearly down when I received the prompt, "Windows was unable to complete the disk check."

I'm not sure if this matters, but the computer was not used for 2 years from 2009-2011, as I was out of the country.  After I got it running again and ran updates, it seemed to be working just fine until I recently discovered this issue with McAfee.

Dell :: Inspiron 15 (or 1535) & Inspiron 6400 (or E1505)

Feb 20, 2009

I am looking into replacing my old Dell Inspiron 6400, as it has been excellent -I think I should buy another Dell!

I am looking at the new Inspiron 15, which has a 15.6" display.

Can anyone tell me whether the actual laptop itself is bigger or smaller than my current 6400? I am interested in knowing width.

I see a lot of dead space on my 6400, and hopefully Dell realized this, and instead of making another 15.4" with dead space, they made use of this and gave a better display!

Dell :: Bad Flash On Inspiron 6400

Jan 2, 2009

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 )

Dell :: Inspiron 6400 / E1505 Need Hinge

Mar 25, 2010

In 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, 2009

I 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 Dead?

Feb 26, 2009

I 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 .....

Dell :: Is It Worth Doing Either Of These To A Inspiron E1505/6400?

Apr 4, 2009

I'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,

Dell :: Inspiron 6400 Motherboard Issues

Jun 18, 2009

My 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.

Dell :: Inspiron 6400 / E1505 CPU Upgrade?

Oct 21, 2009

I DID search but found conflicting information.

I have a Dell here that I just picked up free due to having a busted screen and a bad battery. Luckily I have a HUGE pile of dead laptops and had these parts!

The laptop says Inspiron 6400 on it but the service tag shows up as a E1505 on Dell's site. The service tag is 4Q38YB1 if that helps.

I put two 1gb DDR2-800 sticks in (though it comes up as 533MHz) and a 120gb SATA drive in.

Dell Inspiron 6400 :: Can Upgrade To Win 7 To Use As Standby?

Dec 30, 2014

I have an old Inspiron 6400 with Win XP, 80 GB, 2 GB RAM, Intel Core TM2 CPU. I want to install Win 7 Home Premium and use the laptop simply as a standby in case my newer Inspiron 17R 5720 is out of action. Is it possible to upgrade?  

I don't care if the performance is sluggish - it's just a standby. It would only be used for emails and internet if my newer Inspiron is down. I used the Service Tag for the 6400 to look at the available drivers. For my Service Tag, the only drivers seem to be for XP or Vista.

Dell Inspiron 6400 :: Screen Almost Always Goes Blank Within Less Than A Second

Mar 28, 2013

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.

Dell Inspiron 6400 :: Unable To Boot From CD / USB?

Jun 16, 2012

I need to reinstall xp on my Dell Inspiron 6400. I don't have any recovery disc or what so ever, only windows xp disc.

The weird thing is that the laptop won't boot from anything but the HD. To format the drive i had it connected externaly to other computer then formatted it from there. I tried using boot selector menu (F12) and selecting cd-rom - nothing happanes.

Also tried booting from bootable usb drive with xp installation on it - nothing happens. Also tried changing boot sequence in BIOS - no affect.

I thought my disc maybe is bad - but i checked in other laptop and it boots great,both from my disc and from my usb flash drive. How to make it boot? Tried resetting the bios to its default.

Also, I thought maybe its sata drivers issues which needs to be slipstreamed onto the windows xp installation - but i hardly think that's it, cause this laptop doesn't even have an option for AHCI mode.
