View 7 Repliesi have a dell inspiron 9100 with a 9800 pro 256 meg video card in it. i will be using it for days, then i will use it the screen goes black but i can still barley see things on it.
i have to cold boot and then its all and good until it happens again. i was wondering could my card be bad or do you think my lcd is bad for my monitor?
if its the card what card can i get to replace it because the 9800 256 card is hard to find. any help would be great.
My dad's laptop that he got about 5 years ago is a great desktop replacement. It's never caused any problems.
But my question is about the fan, it's really loud! And it's always on continuously. Is that normal? It's been like that since he got it. I've never heard a laptop so loud.
I blow into the fans regularly but is there something else I can do to get rid of the noise, or is it normal?
My apologies if this is not the correct place for this thread...
I have a first gen Inspiron 9100 that I have owned for a little over two years now and I am just now having some issues that are cause for confusion. Simply stated my video performance is going down the tubes with a quickness...
especially when playing games or watching video (screen flashes and fans on full blast in seconds).
My thoughts were that the video card is going bad but giving it some pause for thought I am not so sure if's that simple.
I have replaced both the Hard Drive and the Power Supply recently and I am wondering if increased heat or inadequate power might be the culprit... or the cause for damage to the video card.
Here's my setup for reference...
The date-time is not holding which indicates replace the 'coin cell' or BIOS battery. I have looked online and everywhere says it is under the keyboard but I HAVE THE KEYBOARD OFF AND I DONT SEE IT. Where the bios battery on the Dell inspirion 9100 is located?

Can it be a D version - loads on Ebay?
My computer has the Intel Pentium T2080 processor. When I talked to Dell, they said that it couldn't be replaced but I noticed that it comes out of its standard PGA478 slot easily.
I would hate to spend the money for a new processor without knowing that it will work, so my question is will a core 2 work? If not, would a Pentium from the T2000 series such as the T2130 (the T2080's closest relative) work?
My Dell XPS 9100 laptop just went stone dead, no lights, charger or otherwise and happened while I was not looking. With no power apparent from battery or AC charger, no other indicators are known.

So after dealing with the support@Dell , they are sending down a technician to replace the motherboard and the heatsink
Now, will I need to reinstall my OS ( Windows XP ) after the replacement of motherboard? Will there be driver incompatibility issues?
Or can I continue using the system like before , after the replacement without having to worry about the above? ....

Had to replace a DVD drive in my Inspiron 15z. Its in shows up in bios but not in my computer. Seems to have something to do with Intel Rapid Storage.

View 7 Replies View RelatedRecently replaced the CMOS battery ourselves after getting the 5 beeps. Put everything back together but a couple of screws were loose and came out. Regardless the computer booted up fine and worked for a week. Yesterday it would not power on, at all. Unscrewed everything, opened it up, found some loose connections and tightened up, then replaced missing screws, seemed that they were tight and not spinning in place. Computer powered on fine. Next day, computer powers on again. Then, after a brief power down, it won't come on. AGAIN. Opened everything back up and saw the hard drive was loose so tightened that up via external screw. Put back together and made sure all connections were tight and re-screwed. Still will not power on.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am reporting with the same issue where my motherboard was replaced for 7 beep code and still the issue didn't get resolved. Issue Reoccurred again--again i am getting 7 beep codes. When I checked the motherboard part no and it is the same motherboard which have replaced for this issue. As I informed earlier that the motherboard which was installed for the INSPIRON M5010 have bump cracks around the solder on AMD chip resulting in no post with 7 beep code. The onsite tech replaced the motherboard and it was working fine for 2 weeks and again I am getting the 7 beep code. I am dell customer for past one decade and I owned so many Inspiron and xps laptop but this laptop is giving me trouble. If I get HDD error or any other part failure I would say yes it is due to usage and I would pay for the parts but if I get issue due to manufacture defects than dell should find solution to fix it. How come I am getting same issue even after part replacement within 2 weeks? I would request you to take required action to come out with solution. I am ok with refurbished motherboard but it should not be the same Class or type of part as it is resulting into same 7 beep code. There are 2 types of motherboard in M501R---AMD(tm) RS880M/SB820. And I got my laptop replaced with the same part RS880M which has known issue. My computer <edited for TOU violation> . I believe dell should fix this issue for me as it is known issue with these models.
View 5 Replies View RelatedJust wondering what the best processor for an Inspiron 9400 is?
I am currently running on a C2D T7400 at the moment, but, would like to upgrade.
While I notice a marked improvement and will there be any issues such as overheating?
I have just gone upto 4mg of Ram and now have a 500mb hard drive, although, didn't realise that I could have got a 7200rpm one until I bought it
where my laptop would shutdown randomly and give me a real time clock error. I googled around and found that replacing the cmos battery would fix the problem. I tried it out but still i am getting this problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using a Pentium M (730) 1.6 GHz processor. For the moment instead of buying a new laptop I'm interested in upgrading the processor.
The Bios shows that it can detect and appears to be able to use a dual core processor but none of the 9300's were ever sold that way.
The motherboard uses a m-FCPGA socket. Does anyone know or has tried to use a dual core processor in this motherboard? I'm even curious as a project but,
if someone has info/data on this I would truly appreciate the info. I have a 250 GHz harddrive and 2GHz on the RAM. Looking to speed this thing up a bit before finally putting her out to pasture.
I just bought a inspiron 1545 and after buying it I have a little bit of buyers remorse concerning the processor. I opted for the Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 at 2.1Ghz, but now I think I would have been better off with a faster processor as I am planning on keeping this laptop for as long as possible.
The two processors within my budget that I am looking to upgrade to are:
P8700 (2.53Ghz) (currently an option for the inspiron 1545 configuration)
or
P8800 (2.66Ghz)
My question is whether or not the inspiron 1545 can handle these processors? I know that on the spec page for the inspiron 1545 it says that it can handle any core 2 duo. I just want to make sure that is true. I tried asking a dell tech person but he was unsure/didn't really know anything.
In addition, would I be able to upgrade to a P9700 if I wanted to?
I have a 1501 with AMD Turion 2GHz processor
View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently checked prices of laptop processors and found a 3.06ghz Pentium 4-M (socket 478, 533 fsb) for $55. This is the right socket, and I know the Inspiron 9300 can handle a 533 fsb, but is this processor going to work? I'm currently running the 1.6ghz at 533 fsb.
I know this processor was never an option for the 9300, hence the concern, but if it'll work for $55 why not? And, if it doesn't work, what is the highest I can move up to?
I will change my Processor, original is a 2x1,83 = T2400
I will take a T7400 2x2,17 Ghz --> IS match this
und i will take 4GB memory ram, is working this
My note book is a Dell 9400 Ispironwith 2x1,83ghz ,2 gb memory, 120gb 5400rpm, 7900 GS, vista ultimate
May I know that can my Inspiron 1440 laptop processor upgrade to i7??
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt's me and my crazy mods again After fitting second SSD to my Vaio Z (instead of optical drive), i got hold of Intel's X9100 ES from E-Bay...
Stepping is QBDW - for those interested.
So, after a hour or so of fitting everything in (mostly spent on opening the Z) it was ready for testing.
First results? Not very nice - X9100 ES I got has lowest VID of 1.0V (, I should have asked the seller for this before) Also, 3.0 GHz VID is outrageously high (1.225V) - so, during the first tests it was shown that almost immediately the CPU resorts to throttling (temp. gets to 105C) - completely useless .....
