Dell :: Inspiron E1705 Battery
Nov 11, 2008
I've got a Dell Insipron E1705, and about 2 days ago my Battery would charge fine with the AC Adapter plugged in.
I ran it without the Adapter plugged in yesterday, the battery got down to about 34%, and I shut it down. I got home and plugged in the AC Adapter to charge it, and it would say "Plugged in, Charging" but the battery has stayed at 34%. I shut my laptop down, and let the Battery charge while it was off. Today I turn my laptop on, and it is still at 34%, saying "Plugged in, charging." The Battery sign with the lightning bolt through it turns off for several minutes, then comes on for about a minute or so, and turns off again for several minutes, repeating that process.
I'm running on Vista home premium.

Last night I was using my E1705 running on battery when the thing just suddenly zapped off. I had recently glanced at the battery meter which was 75% full. I pressed the button on the actual battery which shows 3 of 5 lights on the charge meter.
The battery itself is only 1 month old and has been performing flawlessly. I just thought it was something random so I plugged the machine in and it started up.
I didn't think anything else of it till today when I went to move my laptop, removed the power cord, and the laptop turned off. I checked the physical battery meter which still reads 3 of 5 lights .....

my E1705 has trouble booting whenever its on the battery. At first I thought it may be a defective battery but I just bought a new one and it still does the same thing. It will power on but the monitor will not turn on. Everything is perfect if its plugged into the adapter and will start every time, just not on battery. It will take about 15-20 times of on and off with the power button, and THEN it will turn on with the battery. After I get it to boot a few times, it boots everytime on the battery, its very strange, it seems like it needs to "warm up" before it works ...

So I've owned my piece of crap Dell 1705 for less than 3 years now.
The cosmetics of the laptop itself is in perfect condition but everything inside seems to be busted.
Issues:
1. Battery is no long working .
2. Headphone jack broken, in return the speakers will no longer work.
3. ** Go 7900gs is busted leading to BSOD parity error every 5-10 minutes

I have an Inspiron E1705 that will not power on. Was sitting in its docking bay when I went to bed and in the morning it would not turn on. Pressing the power button will cause the power and hard drive lights to blink once and then nothing. Pressing the power button with the Fn key causes the power and hdd lights to blink once and the three lock icon lights and wifi light to the left of the power button to all blink once at the same time. The fan is not coming on as far as I can tell.
I have re-seated the ram and tried each stick in each of the slots separately with no success. Reseated the hard drive, as well. The AC adapter is working properly (green light is lit when plugged in) and appears to be charging the battery. The battery is fully charged and shows 5 lights when the test button is pressed. I have tried all of these tests with just the battery and with no battery and just AC adapter plugged in.

Lately the system boots with no profile. I have to do a system restore to get back to normal. Is there a motherboard battery on these machines? It's what I would suspect on a desktop but can't find any reference to it.

I'm attempting to upgrade my wife's 9400/e1705 but it's been so long since I gave a damn about mobile CPU's that I've forgotten which ones will fit and which ones won't.
I know she has a core solo 1.66 yonah, and I know it can fit certain T1** and T2**, and I know there's a screaming fast one out there, but I don't want to buy the wrong thing.

Dell just updated the bios to version A10.
Fixes and Enhancements:
1. Update thermal table for NVidia graphic.
I'm amazed they decided to update the bios after such a long time. Hopefully this will fix our toasty graphics cards.

So here we go :
1) I'm ordering in a FX2500 to replace my 7800 go. I'm currently using Extreme-G Mobileforce driver 92.91 (I've tried some of the newer versions but prefer this one). Will this driver be compatible with the FX2500?
2) What are the best drivers for the FX2500 if not Mobileforce?
3) Overclocking... I've read the posts about flashing the 7900GTX bios to enable overclocking, does this mean i cannot overclock using the normal software way. In the Mobileforce drivers for the 7800, the option is in the Advanced Settings options in Windows. Does the FX2500/7950GTX not have this option and is BIOS flashing the only way to overclock the card?
4) If the BIOS flash is to enable voltage adjustments as well as clock adjustments, is this something I need to do or will the card do well with just altered clock speeds?

I have had my Inspiron E1705 a little over three years now.
Is there a way for me to tell what the internal temperatures are?
Sometime when on the internet, the bottom of the laptop gets very warm, and I seem to have a problem with pages loading until it cools down a bit.
About a year ago, my onboard sound quit, and Dell ending up sending a technician to my location and replaced my motherboard. Could excessive heat caused premature failure of the m/b?
Also, is there a way of manually controlling the internal fans to run more often than they do?

I ran Win7's Upgrade Advisor and got a couple flags on Inspiron 9400's hardware. But I've heard that people have nstalled Win7 on them (with mixed results).
A couple reports on graphics malfunctions, and someone said the Sigmatel drivers were not found.
I wouldn't bother, but I have a couple development projects that require Win7.
Wondering if anyone has had good luck with Win7, and whether there are certain things to watch out for. All drivers work OK? Did you install 32-bit or 64-bit?

It's been over two years since the last update, but Dell finally released a patch for the faulty nVidia graphics chips to help delay failure. That's the only fix listed in the A10 release. I wanted to let everyone know that if you have an nVidia graphics card in your E1705 or any other laptop from 2006-2008 you should check for the latest BIOS update because these cards have faulty thermal design that causes overheating and failure. The symptoms are odd colored pixels, video flickering, rebooting and system crashes, program crashes, odd lines on screen, etc - once you start to exerience this it's already too late, your chip is damaged and needs to be replaced. Likely, at this point, every system out there is probably already experiencing some form of failure so to be safe, if you're still under warranty, I'd use it to get a new card as soon as you can and apply this BIOS update. Anyway, you can find the BIOS update here:

I've been using the Windows Vista (32) that came with my Inspiron 9400, now I'm going to (thankfully) upgrade to Windows 7 x64 and I'd like to know if anybody know (had used/ tested/seen) what would be the best and great driver for this nVidia GeForce 7900GS on W7 64.
I looked over nVidia website and there is currently no certified driver for this card + Windows version, so for what I see, we'll have to go either laptopvideo2go and mobileForce,

My dell Inspiron E1705 has been giving me these strange horizontal / angular lines and dots on my screen with different characters on the text as well whenever I boot up.
Have installed latest nvidia drivers too. I actually reformatted the system and installed all the drivers. For a week system worked fine and then started showing the display abnormality.
Again re-installed the OS after re-formatting. When the display gets impacted even portion of the screen appears in different color. This is not limited to any one part of the screen .....

For the last two weeks, every time I start my Dell INSPIRON E1705 while using the power supply I am greeted with the following message. "The AC power adapter type cannot be determined. Your system will operate slower and the battery will not charge. Please connect a Dell 90W AC adapter or higher for best system operation". I press the F1 Key and everything works fine. I've read about this on other websites and most say it's a design flaw in the power supply after the cord has been properly wound around the supply as designed. Apparently a few of the cords internal wire strands become broken and cause this message.

I have Inspiron E1705 with WUXGA (1920x1200) which I want to connect to my rear-projection TV that has only component video inputs.
I've bought this S-Video to Component adapter:

But when I switch to external monitor (TV) via Fn-F8, the screen switches to 1024x768 (TV starts showing in that resolution too), and there is no way I can raise the resolution.
But I really want HD 1080i !
I know my TV can support it, as I can switch my XBMC to 1080i and TV switches to it.
I tried to play with PowerStrip options, without much luck.
Is there any way to achieve my goal?
I have Windows XP Professional SP2.

My Dell inspiron 6400 has a battery that works amazingly but recently, I noticed a change in the behaviour. Anytime I switch the laptop on, the LED battery indicator shows me red meaning something is wrong even when the battery is fully charged. The battery charges normally even when I intentionally drain out the power and try charging it again. This is just to make sure that the battery charges fine. Infact, in windows, it shows me that the computer is on AC power even when it is not plugged into an AC outlet.
The BIOS shows "No battery installed" and windows tells me the same. Summarily, everything is fine except for the LED indicator showing Red and the BIOS telling me that no battery is installed.

I have E1505 and my battery decided to die today.
I have a simple question. Does anyone tried out those generic 9 cells battery for inspiron 6400 (E1505)? are they any good? most of them (made in China).
I ask this question because they are really cheap (90$ for 9 cells and 60$ for 6 cells) compared to genuine dell batteries (289$ and 160$).
in addition dell genuine batteries for inspiron 6400 are really bad (doesn't last beyond one year), so it is a waste of money to buy these expensive batteries.

My mother's Dell Inspiron e1505 needs a new battery. However, after she did research, she said that the OEM Dell batteries are really bad, and that 3rd-party options (such as Rayovac) are better.
I've always been told the opposite--that the OEM batteries are the best.

She's been getting a message when she turns it on that the battery has lasted as long as it can last and need to be replaced but she NEVER unplugs the system (
It's a 17" desktop replacement so she can sit in the kitche. (lolstereotypes))
My dad told her that it now wont turn on because the battery final bit the dust but it wont turn on plugged in.
It wont turn on without the battery in it either when it's plugged in. My dad ordered her a new battery she doubts it will fix it

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 which I bought in the UK new from Dell in April 2007.
The battery is a 9 Cell type (upgraded when bought).
Within the first year it got used on the battery most of the time.
After that it has been plugged in with battery (for backup incase of power outage) about 95% of the time.
Now the power only lasts a few minutes before it totally dies. It charges up to 100% and discharges normally down to roughly 85%. Then this is the strange part, it jumps all the way down to 6% charge .....
