View 10 Replies View RelatedI am thinking about picking up a Vostro 1220 to replace a faulty HP laptop, however, there are not many reviews about Vostro 1220 on the web, certainly not from any established review site like this one or Cnet.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am thinking of buying a Vostro 1220 because I now need a portable computer to carry around with me all the time. However, I have only found one review and that wasn't very detailed.
I am particularly concerned about fan noise - I have a 17" Inspiron 9400 at the moment and it doesn't make any noise until it has been on for a long time, but I imagine that a smaller computer may have small heat sinks and therefore need to have the fan running at a higher speed all the time
I guess this little beast of a portable deserves an owner's lounge too.

Problem just appeared one day, one month out of my 1 year warranty so I began troubleshooting myself. After replacing the SSD, Motherboard, and unplugging every single cable, even disassembling the display and disconnecting the Windows button, Webcam, and touchscreen cables. Still I Could not get any OS to boot. On a whim I powered on the laptop them promptly disconnected the daughter board and sure enough my OS booted right away. Upon further inspection I learned that the Auto-rotate or rotate lock button had become stuck/damaged due to a fall or hard bump. I ripped off the button and ordered a new daughter board online and all is well now.Â
I'm about to try - just wanted to know if there was anything I should know. For the moment I've given up on trying to get Windows XP on it.

I get black screen after Windows loading, meanwhile everything else works (lights fans hard drive and sound). I tried several things i read on troubleshoot thread, memory diagnosis, hard drive diagnosis, remove and change place the rams, unplug ac and battery and keep the power button for 30secs pressed the plug ac without the battery but nothing. I also tried to use a monitor by hdmi cable but i get a blues creen when i try with the monitor. Also this is happening during a format so i cant even get through safe mode.
When I am loading windows on my dell inspiron 6000 laptop it stops and I get a error code 0x80070001 what does that mean ....

I was customizing a T530 on the Lenovo website and I noticed the option to get a 16 GB mSSD drive put in the computer that would apparently make the computer a bit snappier with frequently used programs, but I thought it would be cool to load the entire W7 OS on there and really make it fly, while just using the HDD for storage. But unfortunately for me, there's alot of mixed answers about that on other forums, and there's not even a lot of results in the first place, so I decided to come here and figure it out. Anyway, my questions are,
1, Since it's supposedly doable, what's the difference in performance compared to when it first came out of the box?Â
2, How difficult is it?
3, Is all the time and energy even worth it? When I receive it, should I just leave it alone and let it do its own thing, or should I not get the mSSD option and instead just take out the HDD and put a big SSD in its place?
My laptop shows me a blank screen after the windows bar loading screen. It did an automatic test on my hard drive to fix files, but when I restarted, it still would keep doing this test. I've tried to use a Windows Vista Upgrade/Recovery, but there is no backup and it keeps giving me an error on all types of restoration. I have just tried the Hard Disk Self Test and it says that there is an error #1 - 04 Fail. From what I've read in the forums, I will likely have to replace the hard drive, but how to recover the files from the old drive and what kind of drive I need to replace.

I just received my new dv4-1220-us laptop and would like to install XP on it rather than keeping Vista. HP's website doesn't have XP drivers for this particular model, but when I searched for "Pavillion dv4" there were over 300 returned, so I am hopeful that a comparable model will have XP drivers available.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a 15" Vostro laptop, only 2 years old, that won't start. When I press the on button, the first (top) blue light to the left of the keyboard flashes quickly, but then nothing happens. Now there are three blue lights to the left of the power button that are blinking on and off.

Blue "Ready Light" lights up when plugged in.
Swapped out AC adapter with one from a Latitude 510 Laptop. Numbers were all identical.Â
The Vostro ac adapter works on the Latitude 510.
The Latitude 510 ac adapter has the same result as the Vostro power supply. Ergo, ac adapter  is good.
The I/O switch appears to be loose. (Probable problem.)
I want something around 12 to 13", fast, that can handle the latest windows without lag or anything.
I don't plan to play games on this laptop, maybe some movies. I will usually be using it for Word, internet, and regular things.
I saw this Vostro 1320 and this are the specs that Dell is offering, which seems pretty good for the price:
