I was wondering if there are people in the UK who have bought their Dell notebooks either from dell.com and posted to the UK OR delivered to US Address and then brought to the UK
View 4 Replies View RelatedNew Dell M4400 user (and new to the forums!)
After giving up with the 1280 resolution on the 13" sony I had for about 2 years, I bought a M4400 2nd hand from a reputable chain of stores in the UK.
It was actually as good as new - all the plastics coverings were still present and untouched both under the laptop and on the palm rest etc. Box was present with all the books/cds sealed
They get a decent supply of Dell and other brands in from resellers/suppliers etc and having worked there in the past, I have no issues with it BUT...
The service tag does NOT validate on the Dell support site. If I type it in another country, it knows that it does not belong to that country.
When I do type it in, it basically says AMERICAS and nothing else.
No warranty information is found, when I hit contact, it basically throws back an error to say the tag was not found.
Have i got anything to worry about?
On another note, while the laptop IS brand new, there are no stickers under the laptop - is this normal on a M4400? The Vista licence sticker is present but under the battery
If It was peeled off, you would know even if it was a slight bit of residue and given that the plastic laminate is still stuck on properly without any signs of it being removed...I am 99.9% sure it never had any stickers on it.
Other than that, I love the laptop - gets a bit warm in the front but it's great otherwise!
T9600, 4GBram, 250GB drive, 15.4 UXGA dual cathode screen@ 1900 resolution etc etc etc
I'm probably going to re order once I get through all the bs I have been going through with Dell (read here: The continued adventures about a boy and his laptop... .

I bought a 7900 for my dell e1705. When i installed it, there was no screen, but the monitor turned on. I pu tthe 7800 back in and it worked. I dont know what I did wrong, please tell me asap.
Bios are fully updated, A09 (i believe)
I just ordered SXPS 1645...my dream laptop. I was just wondering how many in India have ordered this computer? How was thier overall shipping experience? How many delays and everything.
Also how is the laptop...any issues with the new one?
this was truly an impulse buy using the 20% off coupon Dell Outlet sent me earlier in the week. This is a Scratch & Dent model that I'll likely give to my kids.
After coupon, free shipping, and tax, it was $397.
What do you think?

After spending months, I finally talked the woman into buying a laptop. I am a decent power user, use Macs,
Windows and Linux. First computer (Atari 800) had a cassette tape as storage. I've used DOS, Windows 3.1, Win 95, Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7. I build my own desktops, and have since they ran at 266MHz. My first Mac was a 7100/66. Yes, that's 66MHz, lol.
As you can well imagine, it was my azz on the line for anything that did not pan out. I really had to make sure we got her what SHE wanted and not what I wanted.
First, I have to review the online shopping experience. Pretty awful. The HP website is a pure train wreck. I hated the website enough that I could not bring myself to even consider an HP. One major manufacturer down .....
Just curious

View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently processed my custom studio 15 from the Dell US site the other day and since Dell USA does not ship outside of the US I decided to have it delivered to my sister in California...
from there I'll have it brought here in the Philippines when someone goes home.
My concern is: During the processing of my order I did not tick the option " I WILL EXPORT THIS OUTSIDE of the US".
Is there any difference if I did? I mean, will my order come with a permit to export or something if I did choose that option? Apparently I cannot reverse that. I'm not really familiar with US Customs or if they would allow new and boxed laptop to be exported out from the country.
I just ordered an XPS "Geniuine Keyboard" m1710, and it came and it isn't silver whats up with that?
My buds m1710 is silver. mine is gey.
did they change the part #?
what is the part # for the silver one?
and where could I get one .
so today I took the plunge of buying a 9 cell battery for my m1530 in ebay it was a 7200mah/85mWH. I was wondering if anyone bought this battery here before and if its any good?
i looked at genuine dell batteries and its out of my budget...and my 6 cell can only hold an hour of charge after 1 and a Half year of use.
I recently bought a new Lenovo X201s and am getting a new Macbook pro 13" this week. I had ordered 2 new SSD's this week. I got a new Intel 160GB G2 SSD and a new Vertex 2 SSD 100GB. Which one would be better to use in in the Macbook Pro and which one would be better to use in the X201s?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a 1536 that I thought had a dead motherboard. I bought a 1537 motherboard, T9600 CPU & a CPU fan & heatsink. Finally all the parts showed up & I got it installed. Unfortunatly all this new hardware & still same problem. When you turn it on the media lights flash on & then off & the DVD drive makes some noise. The display doesn't turn on & no HDD activity. I know the 4G of DDR2 is good & the HDD is good as I tested them in another laptop. Any help would be helpful. I would think that I would get some HDD activity ( noise & HDD light ) if the display was dead.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have an M1330 with LED and love the display. I came across such a good deal for a refurb Studio XPS 13 that i could not pass it up - (P8800, 4GB, 500GB 7200rpm, 512MB N10M-GS,
Wireless 1510, Bluetooth 370 for $875 shipped). Only problem is that it has a CCFL screen instead of LED.
Will the difference be really noticeable? Am i going to regret it?
I just bought a new Acer 5735-4624 aspire model. It comes with Vista and of course I'm looking to move back to Xp. Only thing is I cant find any support drivers anywhere. Even on the Acer site--the friggin model is not even listed. I know it's new and all---but!
I have an e-mail in to Acer support but I already know about their famous support woes.
Anyone have an idea so I can move to little ol' XP?
Any drivers perhaps from other models that might be compatiable?
My HP recovery discs got corrupted. I read around about making new set by moving/renaming HPCD.sys and it didn't work. I contacted HP to get new set of discs and they want to me charge equivalent to USD50. I am in no mood to pay them this much sum.
A friend of mine has a store bought XP CD and I have trial version of XP. I was wondering if I install using any of these CDs and use XP key that my HP machine came with, will it fly? Has anyone tried it? Whats the result?
Plus, I must mention that my HP came with Swedish OS and the discs I have are English OS.
I have bought acer laptop.

But in this case i dont know how to install xp. and my next question is that can i play cd in DVD-Dual double layer.
I'm installing x64 XP Pro on my system (check my sig) after using x86 XP pro for many odd years. I was hoping I could get some help cultivating all the x64 bit compatible drivers for my system because this is a large undertaking, and all my drivers I have backed up to flash drive are for my current 32-bit system, so this is overwhelming to me......
I was hoping I could just get some help from the community retrieving OEM drivers (not Dell drivers) for my system. I want everything up-to-date, including RAID matrix manager and chipset drivers....
i have 2 problems with my m1730, one the keyboard lights stopped working, is it driven by a driver or something or what? my 2nd problem is device manager is telling me i have an unknown pci device and is always asking me for driver software. windows has directed me to nvidia for the driver. i know it is the physx processor but the physx control panel says no physx processor installed.
