Dell :: Is Ambient Light Sensor Working In Win 7 For You?
Nov 21, 2009I'm about at my wit's end trying to get the ALS to work in Win7 on my Precision M4400. I have emailed
Dell and their response was useless, as usual. They said that because I didn't buy the machine
with Win 7, they couldn't help me. (Even though their website states the machine is fully compatible, and even though they're selling M4400s with Win 7 installed.
HP/Compaq :: To Hack NC4200 LCD Ambient Light Sensor
Feb 6, 2009I have the business HP NC4200 laptop, which has a great ambient light sensor.
I generally disable it, because the screen gets too dim in nearly every situation, in my opinion.
But I noticed something strange. When the ambient light sensor is disabled, it is possible to adjust the screen's brightness at your own taste. This is logical.
But you cannot get the screen to 100% brightness. The only way to get 100% brightness is to actually ACTIVATE the ambient light sensor and get a very bright light source right into the ambient light sensor. Then the screen gets MUCH brighter.
Don't bother saying, I've used the Fn keys to control the LCD brightness. That's they way it works.
I use notebook hardware control, and with the nc4200 I can monitor the power consumption of the system in Watts. When the screen is maxed out without the ambient light sensor (which is approx. 50% of the LCD brightness, in reality) the system consumes around 10 watts of power.
When I max the screen with the trick mentioned above, the screen consumes +2 Watts! No need to mention battery life drops a lot.
But I do like that brightness! I'd like to keep it all the time. But it's impossible to apply the trick all the time..................
Dell Precision M3800 :: Disable Ambient Light Sensor On M3800
May 1, 2014The ambient light sensor on my M3800 seems to Think the room is darker than what it actually is, so the display is Always too dark, even if I turn the display brightness to maximum. I cannot find a way to turn off the sensor, not even in the bios.

Dell :: SXPS 1645 Discontinuedi7-820QM No Longer Supported On SXPS
Dec 30, 2009This is interesting... a friend of mine just tried to order the SXPS with the i7-820 processor and got denied by Dell. Apparently, the 1645 has been fully discontinued, and Dell will no longer be placing the i7-820 processor in any SXPS form factor. They quoted that due to hardware and power issues as the reason behind discontinuing the 1645 (and replacing it with the 1647) and killing i7-820 support. The sales rep said the only offering will be the Studio series for the i7-820.
As a 1645 owner with the i7-820, this is kinda scary that this laptop has been discontinued this quickly as well as the offering of the 820 series chip. We ended up calling a second time, and another sales rep confirmed the same story.
Anyone get similar information from Dell on this? I'm also wondering if this is a "Dell Canada" thing...

Dell :: IPhone On SXPS 1645
Dec 17, 2009This is a problem with the P55 chipset and connecting the iPhone in Win7 64-bit versions. Did anyone get this to work on their SXPS 1645 as of yet? Or are we all waiting for a BIOS update from Dell for this? I've tried tons of different things, and for the life of me can't get it to work.

Dell :: I7-920XM + SXPS 1645
Nov 5, 2009Is having an i7-920XM (55 W TDP) in an SXPS 1645 a good idea? I understand that the TDP of the 720QM and 820QM are both 45 W, but do you people think the extra 10 W required to cool it will pose some risk to the other components?

May 25, 2010I ordered my Studio XPS 1645 on May 17, and it is dated to June 3rd for arrival.
Does Dell usually take that long or it's over-estimation on their part?
Has anyone else received it during their system during this time?
BTW I live in Toronto, Canada and, as of today, May 25, the status says "In Production"
Dell :: Performance Regarding Gaming On The SXPS 1645
Nov 16, 2009I'm wondering about certain aspects of the notebook. I know, this laptop wasn't designed for gaming. It's more of a multimedia notebook, which is why bought it.
Though, I'm also trying to get some games for PC. Youtube videos show this laptop runs very good latest games, like Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5, Call of Duty: WaW-MW-MW2, Far Cry 2, Unreal Tournament III, etc.

View 7 Replies View RelatedDell :: SXPS 16- Video, Trackpad And Audio (Win7)
Dec 25, 2009I have been experiencing two issues and wanted to see if anyone has experienced this issues also and have a solution for them.
Audio- The audio will stop working. Causes Flash to crash. Rebooting computer fixes the issue temporary . Seems to happen sometimes after resuming from standby or/and hibernation. My temporary fix is just to use the windows audio drivers versus the IDT drivers.
Trackpad- After sometimes resuming from standby or/and hibernation the trackpad will cease to work. If I put the laptop back into standby or/and hibernation then take it out again it will usually work again. Although sometimes I have to do it a few times.
Video- DirectX seems to stop working mysteriously. My screen saver won't even play! Usually fiddling with the video drivers or restarting a few times fixes it temporary.
Anyone else experiencing these issues? Any solutions/ideas? I have reinstalled the drivers many times and even the entire Operating System. I don't recall these errors in Vista.

May 21, 2010So I when I first got this laptop a few weeks ago I instantly installed lucid lynx.
So I am dual booting between W7 and lucid. The odd thing I see is that the grub menu seems to take a random amount of time to come up.
Sometimes it takes a few second to get to the OS list - other times it takes more than 10 seconds. Also - sometimes the OS list will come up - but the keyboard will to be recognized for another few seconds (like 5 or more seconds)...
Dell :: Windows 7 Discs That Came With My SXPS 1645 With Another System?
Jan 19, 2010My SXPS 1645 came with Windows 7 Home Premium, but I wiped the drive and installed Windows 7 Ultimate off of MSDN. What I'd like to do is use the Home Premium installation for my parents' admittedly ancient Dell Dimension 2400.

Dell :: Sound Quality On SXPS 1645 Vs. Alienware 15x
Dec 31, 2009Is the sound quality better on the Dell Studio XPS 1645 than the Alienware 15x?
I am researching the Alienware 15x, with the possibility of returning the 1645 and getting the Alienware.
It seems there are clear tradeoffs. I am not really into gaming, but would prefer a laptop that has complete use of the i7 performance.
It appears that the Alienware does not have the same performance restrictions as the Alienware; however, it looks like many Alienware owners are dissatisfied with the internal laptop sound and the track pad.
I am not looking to hook external keyboards, or an external mouse, or an external speaker system up to the laptop.
