View 1 Replies View RelatedToday I was surfing the internet on my Lenovo t500 ubuntu. After a Kernel Panic ( i'm not sure it was that some text on my screen ). I shutdown the computer and restart it but the screen stayed black. Not even Thinkpad logo at boot. The fan is working the lid are working, the keyboard too. So after trying to fix it i went on a walk while the computer was on and when I got back I heard the ubuntu noise when it start. So i try but terminal to run music and it works but the screen stay black. I tried to remove RAM, 10 times shutdown without battery or plug. Nothings worked. I cannot try without another screen yet..
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe thing they call "edge to edge glass" which is really just plastic above an ordinary screen. The thing is, that the screen under that edge to edge plastic is a nice anti-glare screen, no kidding! You can see this if you take your laptop in sunlight and tilt it the right way.
So what's happening is you're getting the worst part of an anti-glare screen (reduced contrast ratio) plus the worst part of a glossy screen (unless you have a really pretty face).
I took the plastic thing off, cut along the black/clear border, pulled out the middle, and stuck the centerless border back on the laptop.
Result? THIS SCREEN IS FANTASTIC. Yeah ok, of course I would say that. But if you knew me, you'd know that was way out of the ordinary and really meant that THIS SCREEN IS FANTASTIC.
One thing you may not have considered is that the screen in its default position has yet another flaw, both sides of that glossy plastic thing are glossy, so some of the light coming from the screen is reflected back to the screen, and as you know light reflected onto the screen has a yellowish tint. That is my guess as to why the whites on this screen are really really white now, and the screen is much brighter. This also explains why other 300nit screens used to look so much brighter than this.
I will have more pics when I am able to charge the battery to my good camera. If anyone has any questions about removing that plastic thing I'll be happy to answer your questions, it's actually pretty easy. For those interested, here is how I did it:
1. I removed the "star" head screws, this was accomplished not with a special star head screw driver, but an ordinary flat head precision screw driver.
2. Put some paper over a hacksaw blade to avoid scratching, wedged it under the plastic near the top where the camera is, and snapped out the first of the several lock-in points on along the top edge. I proceeded to detatch the rest of the top of the screen in this way.
3. Both the left and right sides were held on mostly by adhesive, the very edge point locks in slightly, but the efforts removing these sides are focused mainly on separating the adhesive bond.
4. I pulled upward on the plastic and it came right off, there seems to be no adhesive or lock-in points on the bottom side.
5. Using the center of the screen as a test area, I tested several cutting utilities and decided on the utility knife. To my surprise, the plastic was about 1mm thick.
6. I clamped the screen down to the table, with a straight edge positioned 1mm inward of the black line, to give headroom for errors.
7. I cut along these lines, and repeated step 6 for each side, and pushed out the center to reveal the border piece that now resembled a common laptop screen enclosure border.
8. I used a medium grit sand paper to bring the cut lines to meet the black lines, and finished it off with a fine grit sand paper.
9. I applied some electrical tape to the area between the edge of the screen itself, and the edge of the laptop on the right and left sides because there was light leakage, and then popped the border back on and screwed it down.
Found the charger! Here's the high res shots. They do *some* justice to the screen quality.
I went insane and cut along the black-to-clear border of the m1340 screen thing. The thing they call "edge to edge glass" which is really just plastic above an ordinary screen.
The thing is, that the screen under that edge to edge plastic is a nice anti-glare screen, no kidding! You can see this if you take your laptop in sunlight and tilt it the right way.

I have a Studio 1558 laptop running Windows 7. Recently, when I open an application (ex. Microsoft Word, McAfee, Excel), the screen fades to black, stays black for 2-3 seconds, then pops back up. It has happened at a few other times too, but I don't recall the specific circumstances. The laptop is 2 1/2 years old, unfortunately out of warranty ....
View 3 Replies View RelatedWell i currently have a m1330 best laptop ive ever owned. It serves as my only computer. I have the 9cell which is awesome. I take it to class all day and down to the lab to take data on.
I dont play many games any more but id like to be able to if i wanted to. I mainly use it for internet browsing, listening to music, school work (excel, word, etc.), and occasional games.
The deal is my HD went on my m1330 and my mom has always liked it. so ive decided to fix the hd and hand it to her...
she currently has a 17'' laptop that she hates lugging around. I know i hated my 9300 for the same reason... 12lb monster. Im looking to spend around $1000
I can get the m11x built on dell epp with a 1.3 dual core. 4gb ram. 1gb video. 500gb HD for only $1050
OR i can pick up a m1340 on ebay since they are not on the website anymore for some reason... with a 2.5 dual core. 320-500gb hd. 4gb ram. and either a 9500M or 210M card.
I was browsing the internet a day ago and I was on a "COLLEGE" website so i know this is not due to a virus. At this time all of a suden my screen went black.
I powered the laptop off and turned it back on, The Dell logo appeared but the screen was fuzzy and had some "tearing" i dont really know what to call it but it doesnt look right. Kind of like an old VCR playing videos. The screen then whent black after the windows xp splash screen. The laptop still boots to windows but it does not display anything.
I booted into safe mode, everything functions correctly and the way it's supposed to. I then booted into VGA mode same thing everything functions and works the way it is supposed to. I also ran some virus scans just incase, nothing was found.
Whilist in safe mode i changed the resolution down to 800 x 600 and still no luck after booting in regular mode.
In VGA mode i tryed to change resolution and the screen displayed some blue fuzzy lines then whent black.
After this I booted back into safe mode and done severeral diffrent System Restores at diffrent dates. Still no luck
After going through all this I am assuming this is a GFX card problem. The laptop is about 3 years old and ive played games pretty hard on it ever since. The card has defenitly gone through some some stress. Can anyone confirm this?
I know that the i9300 sells for about 400 working, and i checked on ebay for a card that is a whopping 180 bucks. Id just assume buy a new laptop. Then sell the i9300 laptop for parts because everything else works fine. Or maybe buy the card swich it out and sell it for a price. Maybe there is a way to fix it i dont know. can anyone help?
Lastly, i thought i would add that when i check the bios the card is recognized and it displays all the correct info for the card. IS there a way to tell for 100% that the card is bad?
Every time I start up my computer, it flashes the Dell logo loading screen, and then displays this message on a black screen:Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 083) Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation.

I ran the diagnostics but shows that everything is fine.
I tried hitting f8 to get into safe mode but again nothing.
On my invoice is says that
Display: 13.3in WXGA (1280x800) - White-LED Display with TrueLife (thinner & brighter)
Camera: Integrated 2.0 Mega Pixel Camera with Facial Recongnition Software (Software install, no media)
Shouldn't it be CCFL = 2.0 and WLED = 1.3 or am I missing something?
If Dell has made a big mistake like this, should I then take advantage of the situation and demand compensation, because "I thought" it really was a 2.0 webcam and not a 1.3 installed in my laptop.
BIOS A08 was released on 6/15/2009 with the following fixes:
Enhance graphic controller performance.
Enhance system memory performance.
Has anyone tested it or do we have any additional info?
I ran the other diagnostic accessed prior to boot up and it reports SMART is good.
I have an ST950042 0ASG. The Bios reports eSATA-NONE. Device manager reports it as SCSI. Anyone know what is going on.
I hate to call Dell at this point for fear they will automatically want to replace the HD or even try to have me send my laptop in.
I read somewhere that a 1640 user had a similar scenario going on and that they removed the Nvidia drivers and used the Win7 generic. How do I know what drive I really have.
Is this a on going problem. The drive is suppose to be a 500GB 7200rpm SMART drive.
I bought a 1340 very recently with a GPU. when i checked its display adapter properties its showing that its has got approx 1GB memory in it (GPU MEMORY) But GPU comes with 256 MB dedicated memory.
I want to know whether it is sharing my system memory? if it is sharing Please tell me how can i stop it from sharing my system memory. it is sharing approx 856 MB of system RAM.
I checked it when i'm NOT using any heavy graphics applications or games
I was wondering if any of you knew if it was possible to change the stock dell 1515 wireless card with a real card like intel's 5300 ? (the same one you can find in the 1640)
I'm asking because i want to install linux on my lappy and besides having crappy performance, those dell cards are not really compatible with linux.
I have a 9400 with a 7950gtx in it. I recently had to replace the inverter in the lcd because it was giving me problems. It worked fine for a day and occasionally I would get a white screen randomly but it would go away and the normal one would come back. Now its white screen all the time. Its definately not the videocard because i can plug in an external monitor and its fine. Is this the inverter? lcd? bulb?
View 13 Replies View RelatedMy warranty on my SXPS m1340 expires soon. I started a system exchange two weeks ago and I'm getting a replacement system. This will be my second replacement, I've had various problems with my system. I don't want this system exchange to arrive without a warranty. I recently chatted with dell for a warranty extension and for a 1 year extension it cost $421.75. I said that's a little high and the agent called me and offered me $320.20 with a $75.00 gift card urging me to take the offer as it is "Limited". I told the agent to call back later. Should I take the 1 year warranty for $320.20 with the gift card or still try and play hardball with Dell. I definitely need to buy a warranty extension, I cant even count how many issues I've had with my system.

My Studio XPS 13 (M1340) freezes every now and then, getting to an unusable state, and the HDD LED stays continously lit during the period. This condition lasts for minutes (more than 2, one time I got a 10 minute freeze!), and then the system gets back to normal. No BSOD, no error message, nothing. During this "frozen state" I can't do absolutely nothing: can't ALT-TAB windows, system doesn't respond to mouse clicks, not even CTRL-ALT-DEL works. After the system resumes to normal condition all key presses and mouse clicks done during the frozen period are "interpreted", as if they had been queued while the system was frozen.
I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 bit (even did a fresh install). The HDD is a Western Digital WD3200BJKT. There's no clicking sound whatsoever, as a matter of fact I can't even hear HDD activity during these freezes, it is just the HDD LED that gets continously lit (i.e. no blinking).
I called tech support in Brazil, upgraded the BIOS to v A11 and did a thorough HDD test while in the call. HDD passed each and every test. Because of this the tech support guy refused to authorize service on the notebook, saying it is a software-related issue.
I'm waiting for my Windows 7 upgrade kit to arrive, hoping that this is an issue with Vista. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

is the sony FW35V(customizable) on the sony style uk site a 1920x1080 a dual lamp LCD?
it says 16.4" H1080 WXGA++ (1920 x 1080) Widescreen X-black LCD screen with built-in "Motion Eye" Digital Camera, but is it a 1920x1080 dual lamp, multiple lamp(how many?) orr single lamp? make sure its the fw35v not the fw35x. the fw35v is the one that costs £60 to upgrade the screen. the fw35x says HD1080 (1920x1080) X-black LCD with multiple lamp, which im guessing is a dual lamp LCD right? also is the Dual lamp worth it for £60?
what does it do? give brighter?, sharper?, more deep and rich colours? or something else?
I have pavilion dv7, so far I had no problem. Now, when I login it logs in but then instead of showing me the home screen, it goes into blank black screen. It has just started to happen and I hope there is another way to make it work without rebooting the whole system.

My laptop is an inspiron 1520, about a year old now. Ever since I've had it, the hard disk drive has been making a loud, random click from time to time. Sometimes, it will click twice in the space of two minutes, sometimes it will click only once in two or three days.
Typically it's simply a loud snapping sound, like if you get a pencil and snap it against a wooden desk. It doesn't make any other sounds besides the usual hard drive sounds.
For about a quarter of a second, the system pauses. I think it's related to heat, as it happens most often while playing a graphic-intensive game.
