Dell :: Snap Crackle And Pop In My Laptop

Feb 5, 2008

For some odd reason my laptop seems to make a funny pop sound. It occurs in the back of the left side of the 1705. I thought originally it was an audio thing, but it also did it on bootup and it will sometimes do it idiling on windows. Im not sure if this is due to the weather as i have this thing only a few feet from the window and actually our wood on out doors sometimes makes a crackling noise due to the changing weather. Its not a huge issue, but you can hear it when it happens and for some reason I fear it could be an audio issue, or something hardware related. It seems to take place near the 'lock' mechanism where you might insert a lock to keep the thieves away but it occurs for now on the left side of the laptop. After i come back from class I will try some things to fix it. We have been having a lot of problems in the building with internet, cable interference and odd noises coming from the walls so maybe its just this brand new building going to hell who knows.

My other guess would be when certain parts heat up (CPU,GPU) but they are running idle now at 55 and 60.

HP/Compaq :: Keyboard Ribbon Snap-on Broke

Sep 18, 2009

My HP notebook's keyboard frequently stopped functioning. Each time required that I turn off the computer then turn it back on again. Recently the amount of time between each off/on was so short as to make the machine unusable, except when at home with an external keyboard. So I decided to venture into ensuring the keyboard was securely attached to the motherboard. I'm not expert and ended up breaking one leg of the plastic snap-on that holds the keyboard ribbon onto the motherboard. Oops.

So now I would like to know where I can obtain another one of these cute little snap-on thingies. I've looked into purchasing a new keyboard, which I'll probably do anyway, but I confirmed with a number of sellers that the plastic snap-on is included with the motherboard, not the keyboard. Bummer. So anyone have a suggestion on where I can get this snap-on thingy from?

Note that my notebook is an nx7000 and the keyboard has a model number 337016-001. Also, I've attached a photo of the snap-on thingy:

Acer :: 7720g Fan Crackle With Games

May 12, 2009

Having some issues with my laptop, worked fine to begin with but recently it's not be performing as smoothly as it should or as i'd expect.

Usually what happens is, i'd load a game - any game - it would run ok for ~1 min or maybe two, then the secondary fan will kick in (very loudly) and the game will jutter and FPS would drop from say 30-50 to 5-10, the sound will begin to crackle and it's just not useable.

I've so far found a way around this and its turning the Processor Speed in the empowering technology tab to "low", obviously the laptop doesnt run as fast as it would but it doesnt tend to go crazy on me whenever I try to use it for anything more than Typing.

Acer :: Aspire 5739g Speakers Crackle

Sep 3, 2009

When I'm listening to music, my speakers tend to crackle every once in a while. Even with headphones, I get the same problem if not worse. I've searched around and it seems to be a driver issue but I've updated to the the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers and it still crackles. I'm just wondering if people with the same laptop have similar issues while listening to music or my laptop is faulty.

Lenovo Y510P P/Y/Z Series :: Speakers Seem To Crackle And Pop Whenever Play Music Or Games

Mar 14, 2014

My computer (the Lenovo Y510P) started acting up the first day I bought it. It runs smoothly and everything, but the speakers seem to crackle and pop whenever I play music or games (even at a low volume). I've been seeing that many Lenovo Y510P users have been having this same issue and can assume that the problem is a hardware issue because:
 
1) Installing different versions of sound drivers AND even downloading the recommended sound drivers from Lenovo DOES NOT WORK.
2) Changing the power options DOES NOT WORK.
3) Plugged in headphones and even bluetooth can hear the static.
 
I'm thinking about returning this laptop since this is the 3rd day of having it. If there's no fix for this defect, I'm returning it before the 7th day.

Dell :: Scratch On Laptop And Best Laptop Sleeve

Sep 17, 2008

my new dell E6400 just got a small scratch on the lid. It really bothers me because I can see it in most lighting even though it's not a big scratch. Part of the reason why I decided to buy a business line laptop is that it's suppose to be more durable. I have been careful with my laptop and it still got scratched. Does anybody know anything I can do to remove the scratch? Also, what is the most protective laptop sleeve for a 14.1 laptop with a 9 cell battery?

Dell :: New Laptop, What Do I Need To Do?

Dec 24, 2008

I just bought a refurbished Studio 15. Is there anything that anyone of you recommend me doing? I already did a burn in test with "BurnInTest". Actually, everything passed except the DVD drive. I'm going to retest it tonight to see if it fails again. I already ran the battery down to 5%, then charged it back up. Is there anything else I need or should do? This is my first new laptop in 5 years, I want this one to last.

Dell :: Using Laptop 24/7

Feb 8, 2009

I have never owned a laptop before buying my 1530 and I have to ask this, if I use it every day for work, school, and gaming - will this cause any problems? laptop life shortens?

do you use it all the time? I am thinking of buying a desktop to replace this for everyday use. The vents being placed on the bottom of this laptop don't help much..

Dell :: Choosing A Laptop

Apr 30, 2010

I'm trying to choose a laptop at the moment and I'm finding it hard to do. I primarily want it for gaming and want it to play all the latest and greatest games.

Originally, I wanted an Alienware but I can't justify the price to be honest. Maybe the M11X but I'm not too sure if thats very good for gaming.

These are the laptops I'm looking at:

DELL Studio 17
DELL Studio XPS 16
Alienware M11X

The studio 17 has a 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 560v

The XPS 16 has a 1GB ATI® Radeon™ HD 4670 graphics card
&
The Alienware M11X has a 1GB GDDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 335M

Which is the best graphics card out of these? I know theres more to it than just a graphics card but I thought that would be a good place to start. Also, the i7 processor would be best I think so does that cancel out the M11X? Which laptop would you get for gaming? Personally, I'd like the 17 inch screen size as I'm out of college and don't really need the portability anymore - I use my iPhone for most of my web browsing nowadays. Basically, I'm looking for a really powerful gaming laptop for around €1,200.

Dell :: New Laptop En Route, But What Needs To Be Done When It Gets Here?

May 5, 2010

With my Dell XPS Gen 2 on the way out, I've bitten the bullet and ordered a Studio XPS 16:

Intel i7 820QM CPU
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit
500GB Hard Drive
4GB 1333Mhz RAM
15.6 inch Full HD 1080p LED Edge to Edge Screen
1GB Ati Radeon HD 4670 Graphics


The question is, once I receive it, what's good practice to get the best out of it? I'm guessing reinstalling Windows 7 is a gimmie, but what else?

Dell :: 18.4" Laptop

May 3, 2009

I'm looking for a desktop replacement when I graduate college. I've loved my 17" Inspiron 9300 for the past 4 years, but it's time for an upgrade. My family and I have only ever bought Dells, and we've always been happy with them. Because I'm mostly going to be using the laptop at home, with minimal travel, I'm thinking of an 18.4" laptop. HP has one that looks very reasonably priced, the Sony one is more expensive, but I'm still hoping Dell comes out with one soon. Is there any word that this will be happening? And if not, do you recommend Sony or HP?

Dell :: (Latitude) Laptop

Dec 19, 2008

I need to select a new laptop for work. My company allows Dell only.

Currently, I have a Dell Latitude D610. (yes time to upgrade).

I travel often. Therefore, weight is a factor. I'm not sure if I should go with the 14" or 15" screen. My current 14" seems OK. I need a laptop where I can use a port replicator. I believe that this limits my choices. Some of the models I like from a design standpoint don't seem to offer this.

So, I ended up with:
Latitude E6400
Latitude E6500
Latitude E5500
Latitude E5400

I couldn't really figure out what the difference is between the E5x and E6x.

Dell :: Connecting Laptop To TV

Jan 18, 2009

I have a Dell Xps 1530 with a 1920 x 1080 display. I connected it to my 40" Samsung LCD 720p using an HDMI cable, but its not as crisp as I have seen such connections be at stores. For example the text isn't crisp at all.

Also, I heard that if I connect through an HDMI cable that sound should also be transferred, but when I play something from the laptop the sound comes from the xps rather than the TV.
