HP/Compaq :: ZAGG InvisibleShield For The Dv5
Jan 6, 2009I sent ZAGG an inquiry to see if they are planning on making an InvisibleShield for the dv5.
YES THEY ARE!
They are actually having people send their dv5's in so they can use them as templates for the final product. I'm sending mine in tomorrow, which sucks because I just got the laptop in the mail today. But I can handle living without it for a week and a half since they are paying for everything except the shipping to their facility in Utah. Totally worth $20 for the shipping and insurance considering it's $14.95 for a custom order, $10 for installation and $39.95 for most of the laptop InvisibleShields. Plus they are installing it and working with that stuff is kind of a pain (I put it on my iPhone).
You might be able to get in on this if you contact their customer support. You would have to get your laptop there by Monday of next week (Jan 12th, 2009).

Dell :: Invisible Shield From ZAGG For The Studio 1555
Aug 31, 2009I noticed ZAGG doesn't have a coverage solution ready for the Studio 1555. Since i want to protect my Studio 1555, i contacted them via chat to request coverage for the Studio.
They gave me a link to the following page> http://www.zagg.com/hotgadgets/index.php
When there is enough demand for the coverage they'll add it.

Dell :: XPS 1640
Mar 7, 2009I was watching something on youtube when I noticed a small dust-like spot/dot on the screen and i tried cleaning it off but it wouldn't go away. It looks to be inside the screen (if that makes any sense) and is evident when there is a black background/or when the comp is off. So my question to you is
1) what am i looking at?
2) Can i get rid of it?
3) Do other people here a have similar issue?
Dell :: GTA IV On 1640?
Sep 2, 2009Does the 1640 play GTA IV well? In the official owners forum (1640 w/4650) somebody said its very sluggish but from youtube vids it appeared to play it very well. Can anyone confirm that it plays well at a modest resolution (WXGA)

Dell :: Reformat XPS 1640
Nov 5, 2009I know there is two partitions on my harddrive; one for everything (C and the other is recovery (D..
When I use my vista disc that it came with does it automatically do it for me or do I select which partition to reformat (or reformat both partitions)?
Then what do I do with the drivers disc? install during reformat or after?
Dell :: Goodness, XPS 1640
Apr 13, 2009I received my new XPS 1640 (2.1gHz, 4GB ram, 512mb vid, Vista 64bit) on Thurs. April 2nd.
Worked fine and dandy over the weekend, but then Monday the 6th I contacted Dell through their customer service feature and their rep took control of my computer trying to update the BIOS ....
Dell :: Studio XPS 1640 &
Jan 15, 2009Suppose I purchase one today at full retail price. Then, in say a week, there's a 20% (or whatever) coupon that comes out, or they go on sale.
Can I call Dell and ask for the difference? I know they have a 21 (or whatever) day return policy, so I would imagine the sale or coupon would have to come within that time frame.
Another question: Does the return policy time begin when I order or when it ships or when I receive it? .

Dell :: XPS 1640 Configuration
Oct 21, 2009I just recently bought a XPS 1640, and I am wondering if I have chosen the right hardware for the laptop. I'm a college freshman, so I need a long lasting laptop with good battery life and hard drive space.
Here are the specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo P8700(2.53GHz/1066Mhz FSB/3M L2 Cache)
4GB, DDR3, 1067 MHz 2 Dimm for XPS 1640
15.6 inch Wide Screen 16:9 900p HD+ WLED LCD W/2.0MP, XPS 1640
ATI Mobility RADEON M96XT - 1GB
320GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
Intel 5100 Wireless-N (1x2) Half Mini-Card
56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion P Primary Battery
Is this a good combination of hardware? I know a TAD bit about computers, but not any in depth stuff.
Dell :: Connect 1640 To TV
Sep 3, 2009I have the first generation XPS 1640, the one with the ATI 3670, and was wondering what kind of cable I would need to get it connected to my TV.
That said, it's not a HD tv (so a HDMI cord won't work). I need some kind of VGA to RCA cable.
Easy enough to find, but I've encountered some user reviews of these cables saying something along the lines of:
"Please remember that this cable will only work with VGA devices which can be configured for component video input".
Dell :: 1340 Or 1640?
Jun 27, 2009I'm really debating on which laptop to get, since I've heard a fair share of both good/bad reviews from both models.
I'm not really a heavy gamer, just a little Counter-Strike 1.6 and WarCraft III.
I was looking for portability with the 1340, but the aspect of full 1080p on the 1640 keeps pulling me back!
I'm just worried that the 1640 will be too big for me to be considered "portable" and more of a desktop replacement. .
Dell :: SXPS 1640
Jul 2, 2009I am beyond my 30 days so i guess a return is out of the question? I am really not happy with it.
I didn't notice it too much because i got used to leaving it on my lap on top of a laptop bag ... so i don't feel any heat.
But it is soooo hot that i literally cannot even hand it to my wife, it would burn her.
The hot zones are all along the back, all along the left side, and the bottom on the left side.
I am dreading calling dell customer support, i know it is horrible for personal products
Dell :: Studio XPS 16 (AKA XPS 1640)
Mar 27, 2009Anyone know how to enable scrolling on the XP3 1330 touchpad? I just got Vista reinstalled on mine and I cannot find where to enable this
View 15 Replies View RelatedDell :: 1640 Screen
Aug 19, 2009clarify me on the available screen choices for the 1640.
There seem to be:
1) Edge to Edge High Definition 720p LED Display w/ TrueLife (1366x768)
2) Edge-to-Edge HD+ Widescreen WLED LCD (1600x900)
3) Edge-to-Edge FHD Widescreen WLED LCD (1920x1080)
4) Edge-to-Edge FullHD Widescreen RGBLED LCD (1920x1080)
However, the WLED LCD versions (1600x900 and 1920x1080) seem to be not 16" in size but rather just 15.6", while the 720p LED Display w/ TrueLife and RGBLED LCD (1366x768 and 1920x1080 respectively) are 16" in size. Is this correct? If so:
- Why are some of these screen smaller than the others?
- Are the quality of the screens 1,2 and 3 all the same execept for the 4th, the RGBLED version?
- Some people review that the RGBLED LCD is phenomenal, while others state that has inferior contrast ratio than the regular WLED models?
Where are we in all of this and why is Dell making these choices so complacated as far as names, screen sizes and features?...
I personally went to a Dell retailer and saw a model featuring the Edge to Edge High Definition 720p LED Display w/ TrueLife (1366x768), which I assume is a WLED model though its not stated as such. I have to say, albeit the low resolution, image quality, color depth, contrast ratio and viewing angles are among the best Ive seen on any display currently on the market.
Dell :: Diff. B/w 1640/45/47?

View 6 Replies View RelatedDell :: Need Advice About My 1640
Apr 7, 2010So without realizing it I let the warranty on my SXPS 1640 run out in February. I found out when the hard drive crashed March 1st. No big deal I know how to replace a HD and it is not worth the fight to try and get the warranty extended since I was a day past.
However the next week I get the BIOS message about the AC Adapter is not recognized on boot.
After doing research for 2 weeks now I know it could be 1 of 3 things, battery, adapter, or motherboard.
This makes me sick at my stomach. I have been a loyal Dell customer for 5 years and I finally get a lemon.
Dell :: XPS 1640 Tv Tuner
Jun 5, 2009If I chose not to get the tuner card in the system when I customise it, does it not have the ugly rubber port on the left hand side? Now that they have started charging for the tuner I think it's better off me just getting a usb tuner because then it frees up slots inside and I can take it out whenever I want and use it on any computer.

Aug 24, 2009how their system performs with WoW? cause i can't go past fair video quality, w/o the game just being choppy and unplayable. i can't even get past 30 fps, this just seems ridiculous to me. i have all the latest drivers, my pc undervolted, a cooling pad, so i doubt its overheating. i'm using W7, if anyone has any suggestions for me other than a fresh install i'd greatly appreciate it. if worst comes to worse i'll do a fresh install, but i'd rather not redownload all the i have on my laptop.

Jun 11, 2009So before my initial thread got derailed, a couple of people wanted to know my final config for the system I ordered.
Studio XPS 1640
Intel Core 2 Duo T9800(2.93GHz/1066Mhz FSB/6M L2 Cache)
4GB, DDR3, 1067 MHz 2 Dimm
16.0 inch Wide Screen 16:9 1080p FullHD RGBLED LCD W/2.0 MP
ATI Mobility RADEON HD 3670 - 512MB
500GB 7200RPM Free Fall Sensor Seagate Hard Drive
BluRay Combo Drive
Intel WiFi Link 5300 802.11 AGN Half Mini Card w/ My WiFi
Additional 9-cell Battery
That plus it came with 3 years warranty/in-home service/accidental damage protection/lojack, with tax and shipping ran me just under 2k. Good price?
Dell :: 1640 Ejection
Jul 14, 2009I have let this one go as I figured by now Dell would have come up with a fix for such a ridiculous issue. No luck.
Issue-When I eject a dvd the slot drive projects the disc with such velocity that it goes about 1 foot, bounces of my wall and sends said disc to the floor. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Also Since bios A07 and beyond my dvd touch buttons do not work. I have seen this well documented in the Dell forums but no fix other than returning to A06 (which I will not due as this Bios update fixed my sleep issues with Win 7 RC 7100 64bit) so perhaps this is a Win 7 issue but I figured no harm asking you fine people.
Dell :: Sxps 1640
Feb 7, 2009Just wondering if someone could lend some insight on why the SSD are significantly overpriced in AUS To Customize a SXPS 1640 from a 500gb 5400 rpm in the US is is $100 dollars, or $152 Aus.
While in Australia it is $800 to upgrade.. Who do you have to sleep with to get a decent price ?
Dell :: USB Port 0n 1640 (Always On?)
Apr 24, 2009I thought I read in one of the threads that there was a way to power the USP port on a 1640 even when the lappy is turned off which would be great. Can someone confirm this one way or the other and if its true explain how to do it!
