It is probably a little to early to ask, but does anyone know if the Backlit Keyboard and Trackpad from the Studio XPS can swap into the regular XPS M series?
Even if the backlighting didn't work, my main gripe is the silver keyboard, which is difficult to read under airplane lighting. Black keyboard with white fonts are much better.
it would be possible to switch my 160gb 5400rpm hybrid ssd hard drive from my sz650 to my sz440, which currently has 80gb 4200rpm hdd? would it be worth it in speed/capacity? i dont see a problem w/ doing this but wanted to get confirmation.

There are some very nice systems @ outlet, but w/o Back-lit Keyboard
My friend is very cheap and will not get a new computer. He has a dell lat. D520. I wiped everything and installed all the drivers from the dell website for the laptop.
Everything works great until you have to type or move the trackpad. It tends to jump around or insert other letters then the one chosen. But a usb external keyboard works fine!
I called dell and said that he doesnt have any warranty and said maybe the buttons were stuck? Should he order a new keyboard for 50 bucks?
1) What type of keyboard does the Studio xps 1640 have, is it chicklet? And is it good to type on. IS it better than the xps m530's keyboard.
2) Are their any anoying dell stickers on it that will just peel off like on the m1530's hinge?
3) Does the lid say XPS like the m1530?
4) How is the trackpad is it too small like the xps m1530? I found the trackpad to be too small for me
My keyboard and trackpad on my Compaq Presario CQ60 notebook are not responding and don't have any external devices to see whether this is an internal matter. Cannot restart in Safe Mode as keyboard does not respond, however it allows me to type in my password to access vista! I think I have just locked the computer, but don't know how to unlock it, various forums have specified reinstalling drivers etc. but I am unable to do this with no working keyboard and do not know how whether I have pressed a combination of keys which have caused this. I am not sure whether this is a Vista problem or a Compaq/HP problem.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently received my Dell Studio 1535 after my motherboard on my inspiron 9100 fried. The lcd screen on the 9100 is much better (1680x1050) than the 1535 (1280x800), also i hate glossy screens. After reading this thread
[apparently i cannot post links yet, just search "LCD Swap m1530" in this site and you'll get it right away.]
I was hopeful that i would be able to swap out the 1535 screen and put in the screen from the 9100. I got both successfully removed, but kinda got stuck with the inverters and all that stuff, and got scared because i don't want to break anything. The thing that confused me the most was that the 1535 lcd plugged TWO things (power i think?) directly into the inverter, whereas the 9100 has only 1 thing that plugs directly into its inverter. It seems pretty clear that the original inverter has to be the one the computer uses based on all my googling of this subject, but how can i do that if it doesn't plug into the inverter the same way? can someone please offer me some help in this? i would have like to have contacted the original poster of the thread i linked, but of course, no contact information was available in his profile I may post pictures if i decide to take it all apart again. At the very least, can someone confirm or deny that it would be possible to make this swap? i will be very disappointed if i'm stuck with this low res screen forever...
If I got a different Studio 1555 could I just swap the harddrives? Cuz I've already spent like 50 hours setting this one up with programs and files and settings etc.

So I found a couple screens for the 1340 on Ebay but ... not sure on a couple of things:
I have a Arctic White Lid with a 2MP webcam and ccfl screen, is the current led screen or the one in the m1330 is compatible with my lid ?
It's $88 more on the configuration I'm considering (Precision M4400). Both seem to offer next business day onsite support.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just bought an Inspiron 5423 laptop which is an Ultrabook. I love everything about this laptop except that a grinding noise comes from the fan even under very regular operations. It comes and go every 10 minutes and last for 30 seconds. Even my wife can hear it from the other side of the room. I'm not sure if something is wrong with this brand new laptop or it is the regular noise for all the Ultrabooks of such brand. It's really annoying and I'm thinking to return it.

My G505s A10-5750m processor is underclocking and locked at 2.05ghz. I tried changing settings in Lenovo Energy Management, Catylist Control is up to date, Bios is at 3.0, Amd Overdrive doesn't change anything beside GPU for me, whenever I try to adjust processor settings, it just goes back to what it was before. Temps are are 57C, but show 100 in HW monitor which it says for everyone.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow is the Studio XPS 16 Keyboard?........
View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently recieved my Studio 17 notebook from Dell and its really wonderful, everything works as it should except one thing (there always is isnt there)
The problem is with the keyboard, when i type it works fine, but when in games (especially the WASD-keys) get sort of "stuck". Not stuck like they are physically stuck, its more like if i press two keys at once they often freeze so im still strafing left or forward even though im not touching the keys.
This is pretty annoying when playing (cant tell you how many times it got me killed )
Time for a new notebook, my old Inspiron 1505/6400 is going to be my mother’s new computer . I went to a shop that carried Both Studio 15 and 17 (in countries where DELL doesn’t have a branch they sell prebuilt computers through different retailers) and checked them out. I am mostly interested in Studio 17” because of the larger screen and dual HDD option but it has a terrible terrible keyboard flex. It doesn’t matter how hard a press a key, the keyboard will move down with the key pressed and it is really very annoying to type on. The same thing with Studio 15 keyboard, but the flex is reduced because of the smaller keyboard. But it’s still there …. and it is also annoying. Compared to my Inspiron 1505, it is a night and day difference, 1505’s keyboard is solid and doesn’t budge when I type, whereas Studio’s keyboard feels like it’s made of rubber.
What is the deal with Studios keyboards, are they all like this or the models on display came with defective keyboards? Both models had backlit keyboards if it makes any difference in supplier/built quality.
If all Studio 17 notebooks have such a bad quality keyboard, this is a deal breaker for me. Still it’s 2008 and I haven’t seen a notebook with such a bad quality keyboard, even the cheapest 15” Inspiron 1501 on display had a better quality keyboard.
Anyone with a Studio 17, please share your experience.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm currently having some issues with the keyboard. It seems as if the two rows with Y and U are not responding.
Even from the Dell test thing. It happened that it would stop working for a short time, then work again and now it stop working again. It was intermittent and would always come back but now... I'm wondering will it ever come back?
What could I do? It's only 2 months old and I am out of the country, so I can't call support now. Could I make my warranty effective on other country?
Anybody know how I would get my hands on a 1080 LED screen for my Studio 17. It's the new 17 with the i7, if that makes a difference.

i was just wondering about a couple of things about my d630 and see if i am out to lunch or is there something wrong with my laptop?
1. The Fan, the fan seems to run on full throttle all of the time. i used to have d800 and it will never did that. Its not like it does it when its hot or needs power, but the fan runs at full speed all of the time? is this ok?
2. Battery life - may be due to the fan, but my regular cell battery only lasts about an hour or an hour or 15 max? is this normal .....
Has anybody tried to put a Latitude d620 ATG lcd display cover on regular D620? This seems like a simple switch but I would like to hear your opinions.
View 3 Replies View RelatedStudio 1555 should redesign its keyboard into this
Designed by edwineyong
Include the following
*Device status lights (Wifi, Bluetooth, Hard drive)
*Numpad
*Display and keyboard backlit brightness function key back to arrow section
*Sleep button
*Stop button
*Numlock button
I am very dissapointed when I see the Studio 1555's keyboard does not include Numpad, Sleep Stop Numlock buttons, Device status lights. It is not easy to press F1-F12 as it require user to hold fn key first.
I use F1-F12 frequent than the External display, Wireless switch, battery and the Display and keyboard backlit brightness keys, so I really don't like the F1-F12 in Studio 1555.
And the Display and keyboard backlit brightness keys are wasting 3 spaces for Sleep, Stop and Numlock buttons.
I've been getting this weird problem with the 'M' key on my keyboard.
It randomly doesn't acknowledge a keystroke. And it's completely intermittent. I'll just notice that an M is missing from my messages or from a URL.
Latest BIOS and Chipset upgrades are installed, that's what Dell Support told me to do. And then nothing.
I really don't want to send my laptop in, it's always such a hassle.
Any ideas? I know if I wait long enough I can just replace the keyboard off of Ebay if it's the hardware that's the problem.
I'm trying to remove a keyboard from a Studio 1555. I’m at the part where it says, "Disconnect the keyboard cable from the keyboard connector on the system board by rotating the keyboard connector latch towards the front of the computer.
I see the white connector on the cable and I see the black connector on the system board, but for the life of me I don’t see any latch.
Could someone who has experience with this give me an idea of what I should be looking for? The picture in the online service manual is less than enlightening
I tried to turn it on again by pressing Fn + right arrow key on my keyboard to turn it on but the lights on my touchpad light up as well as caps lock when I turn it on but not the rest.
