Acer :: Fan Noise Normal On AA1
Feb 17, 2009are AA1 owners able to hear the fan on their netbooks? mine isn't loud and doesn't change when the netbook is tilted, but curious if they're SUPPOSED to be silent. i don't mind the sound personally, just sounds like a tiny motor spinning in a quiet room - no clicking or anything like that.

Dell :: Precision M4400: "Again" Fan Noise
Mar 10, 2009Why ist it, that the CPU fan runs with 3000 rpm, when the CPU is idle and the temperature of the CPU is 37 degrees? Also the chipset temperature is not that high. I made you a screenshot:
I tried everything to get the fan start much later. I used Artic MX-2 thermal compound, liftet my M4400 higher, undervolted it, but nothing works.
In my point of view, DELL made something wrong by programming the BIOS. Is it unnecessarily to run a CPU fan at 3000 rpm when the cpu is cool enough.
Maybe 800-1000 rpm would be fine.
So my question is:
Is it possible to use a kind of speed controller, know from desktop system, to making the fan run much slower?
As far as I see, Dell uses a 4-lines PWM connection the the mainboard.
Dell :: Studio Xps 13 Led Vs Normal Lcd
Aug 16, 2009My only question here is whether or not the LED version is noticeably thinner than the normal LCD version.
If it's not noticeably thinner, I'm not going to bother with that option. I know the LED is brighter,
but in imho, if it's not noticeably thinner, it does not warrant a $100+ premium.
edit: now I'm having second thoughts. Can someone help me pick? LED or 9500 GE? They cost about the same for an upgrade.
edit: I just ordered a refurb from outlet

Dell :: Clicking HD. Normal Or HD Failure
Jan 16, 2009When idle, my harddrive makes a very faint clicking noise. By "clicking", I mean the same sound it makes when it is loading something... you know, that "tik tik tik" noise.
However, when idle, it tends to make little "tik" noises every 2/3 seconds or so.
Now, according to the internet, clicking means my HD is about to die... but having looked on youtube, by clicking people mean very loud clicking, like i was turning a light switch on and off...
Now I don't know. Is "access" clicking every few seconds normal? Or should i get my hd replaced??
To clarify, the clicking i am experiencing is no louder than the clicking you hear when ur HD is accessing information. If I used HDParm and play with the settings, the clicking sounds becomes almost impossible to hear and less frequent.
Dell :: Normal Temps For 1730?
May 28, 2009I just got my 1730 today and it's quite awesome.
However upon downloading hwmonitor, it seems my temps usually hover around mid 60s and go to 75s quite often making the fans come on. Is this normal?
And I live in the bay area pretty close to San Francisco, so the weather here is usually pretty cool

Oct 11, 2009Lately I've been busy and haven't played a whole lot of games. Just the other week I notice my GPU temps went up on ilde. The fan would kick in ,to stablized the temp around 75 degrees then drop to 60 or so. The temperature just keeps climbing up till it maxed at around 75 degrees.
Iv'e already went and bought some air can blowers and blow all that dust and lints out. I even ensure it's clean by shining a flash light thur the top of the fans and look thur the vents to see if I can see the fan blades. All is clear but I'm still having then same issues. When I ran games such as RE5 it gets really hot sometimes reaching 95 degrees.
My palms sometimes starts to burn anyone encounter such act? Wondering if there's anything else I can do before calling DELL support!
Dell :: XPS M1330 Normal And Max Temps? (CPU / GPU)
Mar 11, 2009I've been fighting this M1330 for a while, and had the motherboard replaced once already to "fix" the GPU issue.

View 7 Replies View RelatedDell :: Latitude D800 Won't Hold A Charge Normal?
Jan 13, 2009I have a Dell Latitude D800 I bought in Summer 2003. I've never really used it away from a power outlet in almost six years of ownership, aside from one time a few weeks ago - when the battery died within 15-20 minutes of powerwing on.
Is it normal for a six year old notebook battery to not hold a charge, even if it's never really been used, and has just been plugged into power (or shut down) constantly throughout the bulk of that time?
Dell :: I9400 Is Dead, Is This The Normal Treatment For Support
Jan 1, 2008My i9400 died last Tuesday. While sitting idle on a marble topped end table the fans went wide open for 15 seconds and then it just turned off. Not shut down, just dead. I went to bed figuring this must have been an overheat protection shutdown and tried to crank it up the next day and nothing. Hit the power button and the green light blips once and thats it.
I have the top of the line warranty and next day service so Dell came out 2 days later (not next day but close enough at first) and replaced the MB and fans. This got us nowhere. He gets on the phone with Dell and they send another MB and Processor as well for the next day.
Visit two with another MB and new processor produced nothing again. The field tech (pretty knowledgeable) said that this would have to go back to dell and that I needed to call them.
So I call them and they say that a third visit would be required I said fine send whoever, this thing is not coming back to life and my business is being severely hampered by this notebook being down. They try to re-diagnose over the phone and corectly come to the conclusion (again) that the computer is toast.
My problem is this: They finally conceded to me returning this $4000 brick to them but I could not get a i9400 loaner overnighted to throw my HD in to get back up. I've got my HD out and in an external enclosure but this really slows things down finding files and loading apps on another computer that is already slower to start with.
I've got a business to run and it is running slower with this laptop being down. I was told by Dell it would take 2 days to get a box to return the computer in and then 5-8 days to repair it and then shipping after that. An exchange would be up to 2 weeks total turnaround time...........
Dell XPS 17 :: Lights Flash As Normal But Screen Does Not Switch On At All
Apr 4, 2013I currently have a dell xps 17 laptop. It will not switch on properly.
When I power it on, the lights flash on as normal, and some of the fans appear to start (although the side fan does not appear to work). The cd drive will open when I press the button, and the touch buttons light up on contact as normal.
However, the screen does not switch on at all. The laptop will stay on but nothing will happen. The side fan does not appear to be working either (i cant hear it, and that area gets VERY hot when plugged in).
I am currently on holiday and do not have an hdmi cable to test it on an external display (though I could maybe buy one).
I have tried fully charging and depleting the battery, I have tried removing and reinserting the coin cell battery and the memory.
