I do not have any Dell products but was considering to buy one Dell laptop.
But while surfing for reviews about Dell brand I found following sites, which were exclusively hosted by dissatisfied Dell owners. Surprised, Why people hate Dell
What I mean is that the plastic covering that makes the monitor look edge-to-edge is not aligned right. The side of the glass sticks out to a point where you can push it in.
I mean, it doesn't even seemed like the plastic covering fits at all with the lid! Too bad pushing it in does nothing..the plastic cover just pops back out.
Dell replaced my monitor for this reason alone..except...the new monitor has the SAME EXACT problem. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, how do you fix it? I thought about trimming the side out to make it fit inside the lid, tho it does sound a little dangerous to do
I have a Dell i9400 and would like to understand that... also, please tell me if someone would recommend an upgrade from i9400 to 1720.

Last month I placed an order for a laptop through Dell. Complications (cause by Dell) caused me to cancel the order, but I had already received the spare battery I ordered.
When I mentioned the battery that has already been shipped to me, the rep told me that I would be contacted later on instructions for returning the product.
Now, this was my first experience purchasing something like this so I assumed that was common procedure
Yet when i checked, their XPS laptops M1330 and M1530 something like that sucks, they had crappy video cards and yet last i checked you need a good video card.
Not to mention it seems like their XPS laptops are outdated and overpriced.
So what makes Dell so special in gaming laptops?
I'm looking to add more battery life to my laptop by going with a 9-cell. I'm just wondering if there's a market for the 6-cell battery.
If not, I'll just stay with the 6-cell.

I've upgraded the memory, hard drive, added internal bluetooth (1.1), upgraded to Vista Business, still can use the Arcade software to view movies and listen to CD's without booting Windows.
And it's still a nice looking notebook!

First you need to download service manual and read it. All the instructions are there for how to dissemble the notebook. Following pictures might help you to understand service manual.
Things you need to unplug before remove the top panel
Things you need to unplug/unscrew before remove heatsinks
Here's the CPU picture without heatsink

I use white cotton cloth and alcohol to clean the CPU/GPU and heatsink(s) and use AS5 as a thermal paste. CPU/GPU temp drop nearly 4C-5C. I need to wait until AS5 settle down.
I'm expecting another 2C drop after that.
Is it normal that dell.ca would have fewer choices of screens than dell.com? I'm looking at the studio 15, and dell.com lists Hi Resolution/Bright,
glossy widescreen 15.4 WLED display (1440x900) as a choice, which is what I want, but dell.ca doesn't. When I view the system specs though, that choice is listed as on option.
I have a Dell Latitude E6530 and when I plugged in my monitor and keyboard into the docking station, they were not recognized. But I can plug them into the laptop while docked and they are recognized.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron N5010 purchased about 2 and a half years ago. I was just deleting some random programs which I don't ever use, and accidentally clicked on uninstall Dell Data Safe Local Back up.
How to reinstall it? I tried to do so by clicking this link [URL] .... but it just came up with an error message.
my laptop vostro 3460 won't boot any more. When I turn it on it loads the Dell logo (I suppose it passes the POST) but then it just shows a black page. It could be anything, but I guess that it may have something to do with Windows 8 and the UEFI system. I also would be quite happy to install linux mint and get rid of Windows, but I don't know how to change the boot priority order.
So my questions are:
1 is it a hardware issue ? if not, can I solve my problem easily ?
2 how can I change the boot priority order, to install mint ?

View 9 Replies View RelatedDell Inspiron 6000 notebook to boot up and stay unfrozen long enough for me to retrieve my files, and put them on my tower pc.
In a nutshell, I got this Inspiron about 3 years ago- I currently have it connected to an external monitor, because my wife dropped a heavy object on the screen last year, and destroyed said screen.
Just this past week, I turned it on, and it started getting really slow. Finally, it got to a point where now, when I turn it on, it boots up, it goes to the desktop, the desktop icons all appear, and within a minute or two, it just kind of slows down, and eventually freezes up, and the hard drive indicator light quits doing anything. It does not respond to anything, and the only way to restart it, is to hold the power button down until it resets.
If anybody knows of a thread already on this site, regarding this problem, please point me in the right direction, as I tried the search function, and did not come up with anything.
and one or two other things, since it initially started having problems, sometimes, I will get two "missing module" error boxes pop up- and also, while it is booting, the screen flashes black for about 3 seconds, and then comes back on and continues to load.
Thank you very much to anybody who could possibly help me out of this jam. I really do not plan on using this laptop (or notebook) anymore, if and hopefully when, I get my files off of it.
And that is the other problem, I can not attempt to boot up in safe mode, as my screen is busted up, and it will not output to my external monitor, when I hit the f key while it is starting. I did make a couple different bootable cds, but they do not seem to do anything.
