Dell XPS M1330 :: Left And Right Click Touchpad Buttons No Longer Work
Mar 18, 2013I have owned my Dell M1330 notebook PC (specs in signature below) for over 4 years. Several weeks ago, the left and right-click touchpad buttons stopped working. The touchpad itself seems to be operating normally. I surmise I inadvertently deactivated the touchpad. I checked the manual, but it did not reveal how to reactivate (or deactivate) the touchpad buttons. How to reactivate the touchpad buttons, such as using the shortcut keys? I read one post in a PC forum of a similar situation; in that situation, the user's touchpad cable had come loose, but I understand this is a rare occurrence. How to reactivate the touchpad left and right-click buttons.

Jan 12, 2009The M1330 has been out for awhile now. I was wondering if there are any new options/manufacturers for the CD/DVD slot drive? My device manager says I have the Mata

Dell :: M1330 DVD-RW Drive Disappearing
Apr 8, 2009I just recently received a warranty exchange to an XPS M1330. It's been working great up until the past few days. When I swap discs out of the drive 4 times in a row, the drive disappears from the "Computer" folder. The drive is a Matshita DVD +- RW. Dell tech support ran me through all sorts of tests, none of which solved the problem . They are going to send out a techie to replace the drive.
Does anyone know are have had this problem? If so, what was the solution?
Dell :: Removing The Optical Drive On An XPS M1330
May 19, 2010I googled around to see if anyone had done this but got no results.
Is it possible to remove the optical drive from the XPS M1330 and put some sort of plastic placeholder there instead? Being able to fit an extra battery or hard-drive would be great, but I can settle for some plastic.
Dell :: Second Hard Drive Installed On My M1330
Dec 27, 2009I went ahead and followed the information on this forum on adding a second hard drive through an optical drive caddy
DIY: Adding SSD or HDD storage using an optical bay caddy
I've posted the problem in that thread ... and I may be breaking some rules posting a new thread ... I just know there has to be a simple answer to this that I am not seeing ... so I am desperate, so here we go!
I've added the Optical drive caddy into my M1330 successfully... at first. My computer was actually in hibernation when I took it apart (battery and all) to install the caddy.
I took out the slot load drive and installed a Momentus 500gb drive. Put the Comp back together and started. Vista recognized the drive as if it were just plugged in I could browse files and copy to and from the drive.
On reboot though, the drive is no longer detected. The "fixed bay device" notification in the bios under "Device Info" claims that nothing is there when it would normally show the DVD drive.
Device Manager does not show the device once Vista is booted, and it does not show up when I scan for new hardware. The computer boots fine as it did before, and I even rebooted using a thorough POST behavior to try to force it to recognize the HDD in in the caddy the PATA slot .....
Dell :: XPS M1330 Replacement Hard Drive
Mar 13, 2009I have an XPS M1330 with a faulty hard drive. The warranty has just expired (2 weeks ago) and Dell were not able to give me the part number to buy a replacement hard drive myself.
Do you know if these notebooks would accept any standard 2.5" SATA drive?
OR are the laptops BIOS protected or have some other Flag set on them so that the laptop would only recognise drives from certain manufacturers

Sep 23, 2008I purchased my M1330 over a year ago, with an internal 120gb hard drive.
I just purchased the HITACHI Travelstar 7K320 from NewEgg, since I'd like a both faster and larger drive.
However, I am curious about the following:
Right now, my hard drive is flush with the side of my laptop. It has a black trim on the side that is the reason for the flush side. It came this way from Dell. However, in purchasing the new hard drive, what can I do to make the side flush again, as well as the hard drive secure (dust, falling out, etc)? Can dell provide the part (side cover)?
For your reference, you can notice the hard drive cover in this photo (far right of the laptop):

Dell Inspiron N5050 :: DVD / CD Drive Doesn't Work
Feb 28, 2013This computer is 6 months old. It came with Windows 7, and I did install Windows 8 in October 2012. I have had problems ever since and neither Dell nor Microsoft can support. ANYWAY, until today, my DVD/CD player worked just fine. I used it every few days, but today when I went to use it, the door would not open. I notice the light next to the Open button is not lit up, but my device manager says it is in working order and the driver is updated.
I tried Ejecting from the device manager, but it does not work. When I ran the Dell Diagnostics program, it said that it was unable to run the diagnostics when there is media in the drive or the door is open. There is a game disc in the drive, and the game works, but I think it is downloaded onto the computer, so maybe does not use the disc during play?? How can the drive work and not the door? Is there anything I can do??

Mar 19, 2010It can't read DVDs, nor CDs nor (obviously) write to either media. That's a first. And I've bought entry level laptops before (for others ) - but I've NEVER had this problem before. $2,000 sure doesn't buy what it used to.
Windows Explorer can see the drive and it definately has power, but there's some sort of defect that prevents reading or writing (I'm guessing either the optics or the laser emitter). Either way, now I have to wait about a week for someone to show up on site to replace the optical drive.

Dell Precision M4400 :: Upgraded To SSD Drive - It Won't Work In AHCI Mode Only ATA
Dec 9, 2013I installed a Samsung 840EVO 500GB SSD in my Precision M4400 last weekend. I managed to get it working but it only works in ATA mode. All others modes I tried brought me to the windows splash screen quickly followed by a blue screen that flashed so quickly I couldn't read it before the system rebooted. If I let it reboot it continues to do the same thing over and over. As I understand it I would really benefit from the performance AHCI offers, particularly when running multiple programs at once.
How I might get my drive working in AHCI mode?
Acer :: 6920G CD Drive Doesn't Work
Apr 21, 2009This is absolutely crazy. The laptop came back to me in worse shape than it was sent off. C drive was wiped, several very large scratches that were not there before, and the CD drive simply does not work. I tried loading in a CD-R at first, and it didn't recognise it, though it might be the CD. Having the CD in at startup actually slowed down the whole boot sequence immsenely.
Since then I've tried it with several different CDs, DVDs, whatever and none of them work. The DVD drive just chugs a long and never gets anywhere.
I can't afford to send this back to be fixed now because 3 weeks was an insane time for me to be without a laptop. How costly/difficult would it be for me to replace the DVD drive myself?

HP Pavilion 4070-us OS/Software :: New Hard Drive - Recovery Discs Won't Work
Jan 30, 2015The hard drive on my Pavilion 4070-us crashed, so I bought a replacement drive - a Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 256GB. The problem is that I can't seem to get the recovery discs to work, and neither Microsoft or HP support me. Microsoft of course tells me that they won't support for OEM versions of Windows 7, and HP said that my product has been discontinued. I own a legal copy of Windows 7....
What happens after I go through the installation process with the recovery discs is that instead of the Windows installation continuing like it's supposed to, I get "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". I'm desperate, I tried two different options - one was the minimal image recovery, the other one was a factory restore. Nothing seems to work. What can I do? By the way, the original hard drive is not *completely* dead - I can still access most of the data on it.
HP Pavilion G6-1d21dx OS/Software :: Does OEM Key Still Work On Computer With Hard Drive Switched?
Nov 8, 2014I have an HP Pavilion g6-1d21dx Notebook PC that was originally installed with Windows 7 Home Premium. However, the hard drive started acting funny, so an SSD was put in its place and Windows 8 was installed on it. However, now I want to go back to Windows 7 Home Premium. However, I heard that since the hardware configuration of the computer was changed (via the hard drive), the OEM key (which I still have), wouldn't take. Will it work or will it not?
