Dell :: WWAN/GPS Alternative To ControlPoint

Oct 6, 2008

I'm really starting to hate the bloat of controlpoint, but I have a 5530 WWAN card, so need some software to control it, while searching the Dell support site I cam across R198215.EXE which is a Sony Ericsson Wireless Manager for 5530 cards, this is actually intended for use on the Inspiron Mini 910, but it works a treat on the E6500 too.

The download is 72MB but it only seems to install 5MB of software (you could probably trim that down by removing language dlls), you only need to run the software when you actually want to use the card.

I even got the GPS functioning which is more than even the factory installed drivers could manage, the COM7: port was always silent before, now it happily spits out NMEA sentences

Now to remove as much of ControlPoint as I can get away with, hopefully without having to reinstall XP again.

Dell :: Alternative Motherboard 9400

Dell :: E4300 WWAN Antenna Alternative

Jan 20, 2010

I have an E4300 and an E6400. The E6400 came with a 5530 WWAN chip, which I would like to move into my E4300 instead. When opening the WLAN/WWAN compartment of the E4300 however there does not seem to be any wiring for the GSM card.

I then found some antenna wires leading to the Latitude ON slot. Since I really doubt I will be getting a Latitude ON chip in the near future, would I be able to run these wires to the WWAN card?

Dell :: Alternative For Quickset On Vista 64 Bit (Vostro)

Oct 14, 2008

Dell does not release 64-bit Quickset for Vostro 1310 and 1510. The 32-bit ones won't work on 64 bit Vista.

That means you won't know how loud you change your volume, or whether it is muted or not. I tried to install Quickset x64 for other laptops but all shows "unsupported system" during the installation.

The workaround is to download the latest Dell ControlPoint System Manager.

This is the link: Dell ControlPoint System Manager

It is compatible with E4200, E4300 and M6400. However it installs successfully on my Vostro 1310 running on Vista Business x64. The volume indicators works, the mute notification works, change of brightness works. The only drawback is ControlPoint does not work with wifi/BT indicators. You flip the switch and there won't be any indicators for it on the screen.

Dell :: Alternative To ControlPoint Connection Manager

May 11, 2009

I have found a good alternative to Dell ControlPoint Connection Manager for my Mobile broadband connection. It's Sony Ericsson Wireless Manager.

It's very simple and worked perfectly without any configuration.
I guess it will only work with the 5530 card, though.

Sony :: ADH Not Available -- Alternative Warranty

Apr 20, 2010

Just got off the phone with Sony and found out that you can only purcahse the accidental damage coverage from Sony if you buy the laptop from them.

Since I picked up my laptop from Amazon, I cannot get ADH.

I feel pretty strongly about having ADH coverage and am curious if any of you have picked this up through a third party. In particular I would like something that will cover the machine from:

Normal mechanical failure
Water damage
Being dropped/sat on

Sony :: Alternative To Vaio TT

Jun 16, 2009

What other alternatives to the Vaio TT is there out there? I *really* loved my TT, but unfortunately I had two with the same touchpad problem and don't want to risk getting a third (although Sony was very helpful in replacing and trying to resolve the problem).

I especially liked the high resolution, the balanced size, the SSD and the battery time.

Apple :: Macbook - Alternative To VLC

Feb 25, 2009

I just got a Macbook. Very happy with it, its very good. However, I currently have VLC installed so I can played some of my movies which are in .avi and some music. I need a playlist function and able to do full screen. I like VLC, however - i find it is not stable. Sometimes it keeps crashing and also, it does not handle playback smoothly.

I've tried mplayer, it seems good, however it does not support fullscreen mode.

Is there any other alternatives. I might have to download the xvid component for quicktime to enable playback of .avi files and get use to the idea of using itunes to play all my music.

Dell :: Cheapest Place/coupons/deals To Buy A M6400? Or An Alternative?

May 18, 2009

I'm thinking of purchasing the M6400 laptop. I cannot stand my current laptop anymore, the Inspiron 9300 . It doesn't suit the tasks I'm involved with... it was handed down to me by my brother who is a programmer while I'm in the graphics/media field.

So I was wondering if any of you know where I can buy the m6400 for the cheapest price? or perhaps any coupons or deals that you may know of.

I'm a student and can't afford the m6400 at the current price on dell's website or without any coupons or deals...

Also I was wondering what is an alternative laptop to the Dell M6400. I'd love one with a smaller screen size but with a similar performance, although there can be some compromise. I will be using the laptop mainly for architectural renderings, 3d modelling, animation, graphics, multi-tasking between softwares etc... I'd like one with 8GB Ram (no need for ability to upgrade to 16GB etc like the m6400)

I'm hoping the alternative will be much cheaper than the m6400 due to the smaller size, and lower specs etc.

I talked to the dell help guy and he recommended the XPS studio 13 model... i don't trust him as he didn't seem too knowledgeable...

Dell :: E4300 Alps Alternative Mouse Driver/Software?

May 11, 2009

The E4300 uses the Dell Touchpad driver and I think it feels very buggy.
It looks like the Dell uses an Alps hardware

This is probably the first time where I'm quite annoyed by a touchpad/buttons. The touchpad buttons do not always respond immediately, sometimes requiring two presses to click.

And sometimes, when I'm using the touchpad, it will automatically click on a link I didn't intend to.

I know this seems minor, but it's quite annoying at times. I almost returned the laptop because of it, but now I'm trying to live with it but it would be most helpful if there was an alternative.

HP/Compaq :: HP QuickPlay To Launch An Alternative OS

Feb 10, 2010

My HP Pavillion dv2680 entertainment notebook has a feature called QuickPlay which consists of a special button on the keyboard which, when pressed, will turn the notebook on and launch the media software HP QuickPlay as soon as its up and running.

My question is, is can this button be used to launch an alternative operating system?

This button has been designed for launching the notebook into a media player rather than a notebook. The operating system (Vista in my case) is receiving some form of notification that QuickPlay was requested, instead of a usual boot.

Such an option would mean a pre-Windows Vista boot loader to interpret the options during boot.

HP/Compaq :: Alternative To Quicktouch Software

Jan 10, 2009

I've got a HP Pavilion dv6000z series notebook. There was no OSD software for the Quick launch buttons that came pre-installed on this notebook when I purchased it in Aug '07 but I installed the Quicktouch software that is now available/pre-installed on the newer dv5/dv4 series notebooks and it works relatively decent. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It's the one when you press the volume slider a small black rectangular box pops up to show the volume level? Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew a better OSD for the Quick launch buttons? My friend has got a Lenovo SL300 series notebook and the OSD for his buttons work very well (including display brightness with the fn button) so I thought there might be something similar that will work on the HP notebooks as well. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit alongside Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit beta.

Dell :: Webcam On Vostro 1700 Crashing (LiveCam.exe) - Any Ideas Or Alternative Software?

May 14, 2009

I'm having a few problems with the web cam software in my Dell Vostro 1700 laptop.

When I run the web cam manager it displays video fine, but as soon as I start to record video it crashes, saying livecam.exe has stopped working.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it's still no good.

Any ideas? I've not used it for quite some time, so don't know how long it's been like it. Alternatively, are there any other good free apps that let you eaily record video on a web cam?

I also have Skype and MSN Messenger installed, but wouldn't have thougt they'd have done the damage (as it's only when I try to record that it crashes).

HP/Compaq :: Envy 15: Alternative To The Laser-etched Skin

Apr 14, 2010

I'm finding that I really like the capabilities of the Envy 15. However I went into a Microsoft store today to take a look at it and it had an almost beige-grey chasis with a very feminine laser-etched design on the cover. When I asked one of the workers if there was an alternative, they said that HP didn't make anything else.

I don't really trust the employees there, and I really hope that this is not true. I've found pictures so far of Envy 15 with a plain silver finish, but on the HP website their doesn't seem to be any option for it. Did anyone manage to get one without the floral patterns on the cover?

Dell :: Is The Windows 7 Upgrade Really Free

Sep 26, 2009

I am considering the Dell Vostro 1520 as a laptop but I am confused about the windows upgrade option (I would get Vista Home Premium to be able to get it as a start). Here's a link to the page:

http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/n...20&s=bsd&cs=04

I was under the initial impression that any dell laptop sold in the few months before Win 7 released would be eligible for the free upgrade.

But when I look in the lineup there's one that says "Windows 7 ready" for an extra $140?? Is that the only one that gets the free upgrade? It's not really free then and why not just buy it separately?

Dell :: Free Upgrade For Shipping Delay?

Jan 3, 2010

Has anyone had any luck getting dell to upgrade anything because of shipping delay? Or offer discounts?

Specifically, I am thinking about trying to convince them to upgrade my warranty. I ordered a studio 17. the basic warranty is 1 year limited warranty with 1 year return to depot service. This is included in the base price. When I placed my order i upgraded (for $198 CND) to the 2 year limited warranty, with 2 year return to depot service, lojack+ accidental damage service.

I have been given the usual order delayed bullcrap like most of you. But is it possible to use this to get them to upgrade it to the 2 year NBD onsite service, lojack, and accidental? ($80 value over my original 2 year return to depot)

I am going to give it a shot this week when I can manage to find the time to sit on hold for a few hours. I will let you know what comes of it.

Anyone try anything similar? share your results

Dell :: Registering For Free Windows 7 Upgrade From

Aug 18, 2009

Does anyone else have a problem registering for the free upgrade to windows 7. Whenever I try to validate my service tag it says I should wait 10 days because my order might not be in the system. I order my E6400 early mid July. And it also says my system isn't eligible when it is.

I've chatted with a Dell person online and he was no help. He just gave me a number to call. I called that number and I had to talk to a lady with an Indian accent that didn't understand what I was saying. And I got transfer a couple times until some guy gave me a number to call, but I couldn't because they were closed or something. Now I call that number and they give me another number to call. Everyone keeps saying "I am not trained to handle this issue."

Dell :: Ordered A 14z A Week Ago, Do I Get Free Windows 7?

Sep 13, 2009

I ordered the 14z about a week ago and I dont remember them offering a free Windows 7 update. I guess I assumed it was included. I went to the website a few minutes ago and I see that its in red as an offer.

Do you think if I call Dell and tell them I want the upgrade or I will just cancel my order and reorder they will give it to me? Its seems silly for them to stop production of my laptop just for a free O.S. upgrade.

Dell :: The Free Fall Sensor Didn't Sense Anything

Mar 12, 2009

yesterday my e6400 fell from 5 feet! 1.5m! I almost caught it but it just fell. Fortunately it fell flat and there was en empty box of cleenex that fell with it and fortunately made the impact with the ground a little softer.

But STILL, I have a free fall sensor that did absolutely nothing. I picked the 6400 up and it just kept running as usual. Nothing happened to the machine, which to me is a great sign of durability, but AFAIK the HDD should have shut off, otherwise what's the point of having a free fall sensor?
