With the power cable plugged in the display is Very bright. As soon as it is on Battery power the display gets dark almost too dark.
In power options I have the display turned up all the way while on Battery.
Is this a normal m1330 thing for the display to do?
I have the wxga with led back lcd screen.
I bought a acer aspire 4720 couple of months bank. the machine was going great only till a day back. yesterday i started facing strange problems. as soon as i plugged in the charger cord ( while the machine was running), the display used to go dark... well i then used my laptop without the charger cord plugged in. After an hour or so, the display went completely dark....as in the display lights just went off.. u can still see the stuff on screen if u hold the laptop under some light source...but the lcd back lights are not glowing......i put in hard earned money in buying that laptop....

I looked around on the internet for possible reasons that this happened. One of the solutions was to change the lcd inverter, therefore I changed it. Once i turned the laptop on with the new lcd inverter, the laptop displayed everything alright, but after I turned it off and on, the screen went dark again. I searched some more on the internet and found another solutuon and that was to change the backlight. To me it made sense to change it because thats where the whole lighting comes from, so I changed that too, but unfortunately that didn't work either. I didn't know what else I should do after this point so I called HP to see if I can give it to them to repair it but they don't have parts anymore for my laptop.

The laptop is much darker than any other laptop i've ever had. I have a Yoga 2 and a Macbook Retina 13 that are both much brighter. Its very hard to see ....
I have a problem with my Lenovo IdeaPad S206. Display isn't works correctly: sometimes it turns dark, especcialy when opening/closing notebook.
I think it's problem with LCD cable, but warranty period has timed out.
Yesterday, after just a month of ownership, the display panel on my ThinkPad Yoga S1 became defective. All of a sudden, when I undocked it (after shutting down normally), the only thing that appeared on the display was a whitish image containing a dark grey vertical band (left), which happens to be the Lenovo splash screen background! The laptop runs perfectly fine when docked because it attaches to an external monitor. I tried fiddling with the Yoga's display panel, rotating through its various configurations and, after a while, a partial windows screen did appear although it flickered and, even still, nothing displayed properly in that left most vertical strip! Undocked, the laptop was and is completely unusable...

Bright white area show as Cyan and dark areas (black) are a sort of Burgundy or deep red. I can adjust the contrast down a little and the brightness down to -13 and the cyan mostly goes away, but the dark areas are even more more red.
I update the Catalyst app and drivers and did a complete update of Windows 7 (which took around 24 hours and it still wants more time) to no avail.
How did it happen? One day it was working perfectly and it shut down normally. The next day it was screwed up. Nothing happened to the machine between those times. I would show you pictures but I've found that screenshots of it look normal on other machines, eg: my desktop.
At one point yesterday when I tried playing a game on it the problen suddenly cleared up. That lasted for a few minutes before reverting the the screwed up state.
I am writing this on it; it does work. But trying to look at videos or most pictures or games it looks really wild, many times too strange to see what's going on.
Well I have the same problem again. I was usign the PC normally and then it turn off the display, still the computer is still running like normal (I know because sounds).
I dont think that this is GPU problems (NO vertical lines, no crash, no weird colors) in a old thread people says to me that this can be that the LCD is damaged.
so i will buy the HDMI cable and if this happend again I will connect the PC to a
Maybe this can be a program? OS problem? a virus?..
I have a bunch of XPS m1330s in an office here, and I've noticed that some of them have a very harsh looking display. The colors seem washed out, too blue, and also very bright. The screen is hard to look at.
I've tried making some adjustments in the nVidia control panel, but none of the sliders seem to adjust whatever is causing this. If there was a "color temperature" selection,
I think that would do it, but I have not found that anywhere.
This one looks bigger than the original m1330 battery, so I was wondering if it will fit.
I`ve also heard about Mugen Power
who makes a lot of batteries for electronic devices, anybody got any input on that?
I just bought a 7200 mAh battery 9 cell from ebay. It dont last a month when the perfomance drop more than a half. So Im looking for a good batt that dont go dead so easily.
This batt was great for the first days. It last about 4 hours in high perfomance playing and 6 in normal use. Now it last 1 1/2 hour playing or less.
My battery is not charging on my M1330. It's about 15 months old.
I've replaced the brick with no change.
Has anyone bought this battery from any aftermarket battery vendor? My XPS M1130 56Whr Lithium Ion 6-cell battery died two days ago. It's $149 + tax + shipping = $169 at Dell. I wanted to see if there are good deals out there from other vendors.
View 10 Replies View RelatedAbout a week ago, I had my motherboard replaced due to overheating.
Yesterday, before I had a chance to shut it down properly, I removed the AC power from the laptop and the laptop immediately powered off. I tried again, and the same thing happened.
I called Dell and asked for a warranty replacement and after determining that the battery had indeed failed, the XPS tech support rep told me that the battery is only covered for one year as it's a consumable and they offer a separate battery warranty, so she could not replace it.
So I explained to her that they did not offer that option when I purchased my system (as far as I recall) and I understand the cells wear out and don't hold a charge as they do when they are new, but, regardless, for the battery to completely fail is a defect and should be covered for the length of the system's limited warranty .....
I own a Dell M1330 with the six cell battery.
Since one month something weird happens with the battery.
Power Saver Mode:
after ~1hour (battery is at 60-70%) suddenly the battery drops to 7% and I am out of juice.
Maximum Performance
after ~40minutes suddenly the battery drops to 7% or it goes directly into hibernate mode
I did a search on here and and google and I came to the conclusion that if you dont know the specs of the computer you can't "accurately" guess the life of the battery so I'm hoping you guys can give me an estimate with my computer specs.
I'll post the things I think would matter most with the battery life.
Specs: Dell XPS M1330
2.2 ghz core2duo
8400gs
LED screen

160 gb hdd (dont know speed, im sure you guys do with this size)
I bought a Dell XPS M1330 over a year ago and it came preloaded with Vista Home Premium.
Since I want to keep the batteries in good condition I run the laptop with no battery connected and AC plugged in whenever it sits on my desk at home.
However, in Windows 7 it seems that Windows wants to put the laptop to sleep after 10-15 minutes if I do this
Does anyone know if a battery from M1330 (6cells) can be used for a M1530 ?
I can find only M1330 batteries.
From what I saw here:

I woul like to know how much i can get with the 9 cell battery, LED display, ssd and 8400.
I am looking at a 13.3-14.1 with long battery life. Any other suggestions? I like the illuminated keyboard on the studio 1340, but it's heavier and i hate that leather part, plus the airflow problems.
Lenovo u330 is nice, but have some battery problems as i saw.
It's only since I started reading these forums to try and fix my fans being on all the time that I realised my XPS's battery life was way worse than most people's on here.
I have a six cell battery and out of a full charge I get maybe 1:35. this wouldn't be so bad except, when my warranty ran out 3 months ago, I made dell replace my current six cell battery which got around 1:17 full charge.
This current battery is only 3 months old, initially it did an two hours and a half but now i'm lucky to get an hour and a half out of it.
why my computer is eating my batteries? Other people talk about battery life of 3 hours plus
I got my m1330 used with 1 light of battery health lit. I've been using it fairly for a month. One time I noticed I got only about 1 hour on battery power.
I don't know... i'm having serious problems with this notebook. It was very slow because got really hot until I upgraded it to A15 where it somehow works... What should be done for me to request a replacement?....
Our M1330's 6-cell battery warned recently that it needed replacing soon (was at something like 67% original capacity).
I turned off the warnings and hoped it would last sometime longer but now the system thinks no battery is connected and the battery's self-test LEDs do not illuminate at all.
I am not sure how easily I can get a new battery shipped to Africa and we have frequent power cuts (the system is on a surge protector which drops the power when it goes out. Usually a generator cuts in within 10 seconds to restore power but the surge protector refuses to provide power for about 5 mins).
So I need to change from using Standby to using Hibernate. Trouble is little disk space and no hibernate file left.
I bought my laptop Dell XPS M1330 in September 2009... I have not had problems with this until now. Three days ago I turned on my laptop in order to read a pdf file , but I noticed the my file went constantly down and therefore, I was not able to read it... It seemed like the "arrow pointed down key" was permanently pushed down! So I reboot my lap but I had the same problem. The next day, again, I turned on my lap and at that time the cursor was moving constantly to the left like the "arrow pointed left key" was pushed down!
I tried with Dell diagnostics and this showed me the next errors:
-ERROR CODE 3600:0853 PRIMARY_BATTERY_BAY The battery can not provide sufficient power.
-ERROR CODE 2C00:0423 KEYBOARD-Stuck key detected
When I was testing the keys (of the keyboard) this showed me:
Expected: e048 Read: e050....Expected: (something) Read e050.... And so on
Should I have to replace my battery and my keyboard???
I actually have TWO 9-Cells, and they are both drain pathetically fast, whereas when I got it in August 2007, they lasted at least twice that.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have an Inspiron 6000 from a colleague. His report was "my daughter spilled (coffee?) and it broke".
Turning on, I see the LCD has the image but the backlight is not working (a few times it flickered on for a second). External video works fine.
I opened the thing, did not see obvious spillage signs.
Bought an inverter from eBay, replacing it did not fix the problem. If anything, the "sometimes flicker on for a second" stopped to show up. Had the eBay dealer replace the inverter as DOA, the second one didn't work either.
I guess it's not the inverter
What's the next step? Should I be going after a motherboard (following the spillage lead) or a screen? Or try the backlight specifically?
Is there a way to measure the inverter output and see whether it's alive? "Yes" would point at the backlight. "No" would point at electronics, in this case the motherboard.
A friends 1520 inspiron screen is really dark. Tried changing inverter card to lcd but still dark. tried replacing video card still dark. someone suggested checking voltage from motherboard. Can you tell me where to check output ? External monitor works fine..

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell 4310 that I bought used without a hard drive. When I unboxed and initially tested it with another drive it booted into Windows 7, but, did not load because it wasn't the right drive.
The computer sat next to my chair for a few days until I got the new SSD drive that I wanted to install. When I put the drive in and plugged the system in (no battery yet) the battery light on the upper left flashed briefly and the power button came on and stayed that way for about twenty seconds. The screen remained black and the battery light and power button turned off.
This morning my son mentioned that he "might' have spilled a little bit of something on it. I quickly took it apart and carefully dried the pieces and parts on the heating vent and put it back together and the same thing happened.
I have tried the following:
1) Re seat RAM
2) verified video is connected
3) unplugged, held the power button for fifteen seconds and plugged the power cord back in.
What could I be looking at here, a new Motherboard?
