Dell :: Additional Hard Disk In Inspiron 1720 Will It Fit Into A Studio 17
Apr 22, 2009I currently have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with a second hard disk I bought and fitted myself. If I get a Studio 17, will I be able to fit this hard disk into the second bay in there? As far as I'm aware the disk itself should be okay, but the caddy might be slightly different for that model - is that right? If so I'll just buy a new caddy or modify this one - otherwise I'll be £100 down for this hard disk!

Jul 15, 2014I'm thinking of buying a Thinkpad E540 with a discrete nvidia gpu. I am planning to install linux on it and I don't really need optimus for it (nor is it well supported) but I'd like to occasionally be able to use it on windows.
Â
I'd like to know if it's possible to completely turn off the nvidia gpu from the BIOS so it works only with the integrated intel one or should I buy one with intel gpu only.
Â
I have read that the lenovo changed the dual gpu implementation on the latest generation thinkpads.

HP Pavilion G7 OS/Software :: Can't Access Bios Settings / Disable F1-f12 Keys
Jun 27, 2014I got this Notebook-PC in 2012 it is a G7 series I am fairly sure. My problem is that when I turn off the computer and turn it back on, there is no (esc) option to open bios menu or any option for that matter. Just a blue HP symble directly in the middle of the screen with a small loading symbol below it. I have pressed esc, f1-f10, and pretty much every other key to try to access it. All I really want to do is disable the most annoying f1-f12 function keys.
I am no longer under warranty and my operating system is Windows 8. There are also no error messages at all, just no response to anything just loads up to the password login screen.

Jun 20, 2009I was doing some reading on the Inspiron Mini 9 and I understand that it uses a solid state drive in the form of a PCI-e card.
My question is, since the Mini 9 has three PCI-e slots, can you place an additional SSD in it? If you have the wireless LAN then the only other slot available is the Half mini.
I did some browsing and there are Half mini SSD's available. If one had an 8GB SSD could they purchase a 32GB for an 8GB+32GB configuration?
Dell :: Studio 1555 Additional Upgrades
Apr 23, 2009I got the Studio 1555 delivered to me two days back. Now I am thinking that I should have got two following additional upgrades:
1. Wifi 5300 card - I got the default 5100 one.
Should I upgrade to the wifi 5300 card? Will it be really worth it. I need to connect to my Wifi router for Internet. Will I be able to connect from more distance if I upgrade to the 5300?
2. HDD 320 7200 RPM - I got the 5400 RPM one.
Should I upgrade to the 7200 rpm and will it give better performance? Will games run better on the 7200 rpm one?
Sony :: New Z With Additional SSD/HDD
Apr 16, 2010I found out my cause for shortened battery life
And, as I feared, it is connected to the Lenovo Ultrabay adapter
After careful analysis, I found out the reason - it looks like when the additional drive is connected via DVD SATA port, BIOS does not expose P-states correctly.
What happens then is Windows (or Linux for that matter) cannot scale frequencies down - your CPU will constantly run at the highest frequency!
As soon as I disconnect the additional drive, and run the Windows DDK PwrTest /infopm - I get normal values.
If the additional drive is connected, Windows sees only Throttle states!
This looks like some strange BIOS bug - I cannot possibly see connection between additional drive and CPU, except that something gets corrupted in the ACPI tables.
I am still investigating this, but as it seems right now we will have to choose between long battery life and another HDD/SSD drive.
You can also verify this even without PwrTest tool - just go to Task Manager and then to Resource Monitor, and then to "CPU" tab - if it says "100% maximum frequency" all the time, this means the P-state transitions do not work.
Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Possible To Disable Intel Card Completely And Use NVIDIA Directly Through BIOS?
Jan 25, 2015 if it's possible to disable the Intel card completely and use NVIDIA directly through BIOS?
I'm trying to use Nvidia Nsight to debug shaders in OpenGL but Optimus/Switchable Graphics make things difficult for Nsight.At his point BIOS has just UMA and Switchable Graphics as options.But I've seen other laptops with a discrete graphics option.Is this model hardcoded to go through the Intel card anyway?Is there some other BIOS version that can add the option?
Sony :: Adding Additional SSD On The New Z11
Apr 7, 2010I just bought my new Z11 few days ago, had a mac book pro before.
Anyhow, mine has 128GB of SSD in a Raid 0 config, in the intel RST it says I have two spare open ports, and I know the upper signature series of the Z has quad SSD's so I'm wondering what harddrive expansion options I have?
Is it possible to swap out the current SSD with larger capacity ones? or possibly add on another 2 64 GB SSD for 256 total?

What does everyone do if they want to have an additional partition, delete recovery or hp tools?

Dell Inspiron 1420 :: Disable Keyboard And Mouse
Feb 17, 2013I've got a Dell Inspiron 1420 with XP, bought in Malaysia almost 5 years ago. It was working fine till a month ago when the keyboard and touchpad started malfunctioning. I used an external keyboard and mouse to over ride the problem but from time to time, it acts as if a button on the built in keyboard is being pressed (for instance ctrl on the laptop is being held down so when I type the letter "f" on the external keyboard, I end up opening the Search tool). I don't know the internal mechanism of this laptop, but is there a way I could disable the laptop's keyboard and touchpad, and continue functioning only through the USB external keyboard and mouse? I tried uninstalling the drivers.

Dell Inspiron N5050 :: Disable Battery Charge Feature
Oct 20, 2014I have russian system (Windows 7 SP1 with all updates on Inspiron N5050) and corresponding Dell software (on russian), but I'll try to describe options, like they be on english. You should to determine appropriate, corresponding to english analogues.
In the battery settings there is one checkbox, like "disable battery charge", with description, pointing to battery charge disabling until next Windows boot. So, if I check that checkbox, then...
Which EXACTLY system event(s) or situation(s) (the most comprehensive list) triggers the charger back to charge the battery, because "next Windows boot" is too unclear. For example, what about hibernate mode? Precisely, returning from it is not the Windows boot! In which moment of boot that trigger changes? Which system event(s) (application and/or hardware) generates initial command for it, what chain of devices and software calls involved (and can or can't be involved in different situations), how much time approximately consumes each chain link, and mention all affecting hardware settings and Windows settings.
