Just received my HP Mini 1030NR and love the way it looks, size, everything..EXCEPT....that I have noticed a distinct vibration in the wristpad area on both sides.
As I was adding anti-virus and tweaking as I usually do, I noticed this vibration and wonder if this is an issue with SSD-based laptops.
I have a HP Mini 1030NR which I got as a present, I already have my own MSI Wind u100 which I absolutely love.
Anyways, the HP has a 16GB SSD and I wanted to know if I could swap that with a 60GB 2.5" HDD I have laying around?
would this be a direct swap? how do I go about cloning the SSD first and then restoring that onto the HDD?
I also have a 2.5" HDD enclosure I could use for the cloning...
Looking at one drive, in both areas area 1 is always significantly hotter than area 2's. A 15 C increase.
Is it possible to set a single harddrive in the 2nd HDD area (farther away from the CPU and GPU that are causing all the heat), with the 1st area empty?
I tried simply moving it from area 1 to area 2, and it said it couldn't find the OS. Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?
When I look at my notebook's screen at an angle, an area at the bottom of the screen looks to be visibly lighter than the rest of the screen. There is also a small spot at the bottom of the screen that always looks lighter than the rest. Is this kind of thing considered relatively normal for an LCD?

Whenever my DVD-drive does any form of reading, it vibrates very... very... hard creating this really irritating sound along with it. The drive vibrates so hard that my entire desk shakes and I can feel it even when I work from the other end of my table.
It's especially annoying when I'm actually using my laptop keyboard and not my external as the vibrations are so strong, my hands get numb after a few minutes.
It's actually barely noticeable when I'm playing games because the drive usually only reads the CD for the initial load-up. But when I'm playing a music CD and the drive is reading constantly, it'll be like 2 hours of constant vibration -_-.
I've already gotten this DVD-drive replaced twice, and every single time, it does the same thing. Also, if it matters, I've had to get my motherboard replaced once XD. So even though the mobo + DVD-drive is brand-spanking new, I still get the same problem.
So if anyone could help me fix this problem, that would be great. And another question just to help me to stop worrying . Will the extremely strong vibrations damage any inner components of the laptop over time? I'm not exaggerating about the strength of the vibrations, they actually are that strong , so if its a possibility that it will cause any damage, I think I'll refrain from playing music CD's on my laptop -_-.
I was wondering if any apple owners could post if they are using a 7200 rpm drive in their macbook. Does the new aluminum unibody experience vibration from this drive or is it ok. I suppose the macbook pro would also fall under this since its also aluminum.
Im looking for a faster drive but im afraid the whole macbook will shake like crazy spinning up and down.
I am trying to find out if you guys have the same issue.
I have ST9500420AS Momentous Seagate 7200rpm 500GB HDD. Since day one I am feeling a light vibration in the laptop next to the touchpad. This is not too bad but is very annoying since it is constantly there.
For those who have a 7200 rpm Seegate drive please see if you have this issue. It is noticeable when fan is off.
So I got my dell 1558 a week back and I love everything about it. Except for the annoying hard drive vibration I can feel to the left of the touchpad, a bit on the touchpad and the left side of the keyboard.
Initially, my research said it was an issue with the Seagate 7200s, so I got a WD Scorpio Blue 5400RPM, Cloned my existing hard drive and used that. After re-seating it again, the vibration had become less but still noticible.
I also found out that if I applied pressure/weight to the left of the touchpad, the vibration would be gone.
Anyway, I want to know if other Studi 1558 owners are noticing the same issue or not?
I've this GSA-U20N DVD drive on my T400 running Win 7. It create an irritating humming noise with vibration while playing DVDs. It doesn't happen all the time but every other time. The DVDs are in good condition and play well otherwise well with or without the drive noise.
I tried another new drive UJ8B2 and does create the similar noise.
Does Sony use HPA (Host Protected Area)?
What is the difference between HPA and Hidden Recovery Partition commonly used in all Sony notebooks?

So I ordered my Alienware Area-51 with a bunch of upgrades totaling at something like $5000 on January 22nd. It has been in the "In Production" stage for a while and today they sent me an email saying the delivery date was changed to February 23rd. It was initially supposed to be shipped by February 16th.
So I'm wondering if "In Production" means they have actually started building the computer, or if there is a chance they are still processing payment information. Is there any chance they haven't confirmed the payment at this point, I would consider canceling the order.
Secondly, when Dell gives you a delayed ETA, how often do they delay the system from arriving further? I'm worried that a week and a half from now I will get another email saying I won't be getting my system until March.
How is the area around where the palm rests for the Studio 15? I read one review where it said the palm areas get warm. Is this true?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI went to Best Buy to look at a Studio 15 model. I noticed the surface around the mousepad where you rest your wrists....
It was warm and it felt really soft...almost a bit sticky soft. Is that because of the clear finish?
I'd rather have a smooth surface than a soft one that feels like the smushy like varnish hasn't completely dry. Could this have been an anomily or would my model be like this if I bought one?
I bought DELL Studio 1555 last month.
I immediately noticed after working sometimes the touchpad area,specially the right hand top corner becomes alarmingly hot and I feel burning sensation on my finger tips.
It is the area where WLAN.WPAN,WI-LAN are present.There is also an Intel chipset,perhaps IO controller.
I immediately called DELL technical support and they sent me the DELL engineer.After monitoring the system for sometimes he decided to replace the motherboard,heat sink,fan assembly and thermal pad.
After replacement I am finding the scenario haven't changed and this time along with touchpad the mid area of keyboard is also getting warm.
I'm currently evaluating a studio 17 which I am considering returning for a E6500 hoping that the business class machine will have a more robust build.
This studio 17 exhibits flex in the keyboard on the right side near the enter key and the number pad, and I am given to understand that the latitude keyboard is much better in that regard.
However, videos like this one depicting flex in the wrist rest and the bezel around the screen are a little discerning.

I just got my XPS M1330 recently. Noticed an intermitten beeping noise but I addressed it using RMClock. The beeping noise is gone.
However i also noticed there is a noise coming from the audio jack area once in a while when the laptop is working. The sound is like 'crick crick'. Not sure what sound is that
I dropped my Latitude E6400 while it was in my backpack and the palmrest plastic next to the latch holder unsnapped from the base. I snapped it back in. About a month later, it was unsnapped again and I snapped it back in again. I don't remember dropping it. I wonder:
1. Has this happened to anybody?
2. Do you think I broke anything?
I have purchased Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 i7 few months back. It is working fine, I now I fell that my system gets heated up a lot early and too much. Particularly, around the touchpad area. I have also noticed that regardless of the heating up, the cooling fan runs so slow. I assume, it should speed up when the system is getting hotter, but it does not.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had this problem with local internet area disconnecting and reconnecting (one second it shows it is enabled, other ethernet cable is unplugged, and that keeps repeating), which was caused by Ubuntu, I highly suspect.So I updated Bios to A11 and it charmingly fixed everything.
However, problem arose again. I've installed Ubuntu again on dual boot and tried updating Nvidia drivers which did not work well and broke Ubuntu again, which caused this internet problem again on windows 7 somehow (yes, this happened for second time . But this time I can't update Bios, or overwrite it's update).
I did not expect that after bios update this would happen again. I tried downloading various drivers from dell driver support. So, is there a way to overwrite same version of Bios, or (downloading some sort of drivers i might have mist, ect.?)
I seem to have trouble with my on-screen keyboard when using the Dell Inspiron in tablet mode. Supposedly the on-screen keyboard will pop-up whenever I activate a text-insert area (such as search, or firefox, or IE, or etc) but there is no response.
In addition, I should be able to toggle it on/off through "settings" by swiping right but the keyboard icon is not available in settings when I swipe right. I *can* turn it on by going through..
Settings --> Ease of access --> Keyboard on
Though technically it shouldn't require those extra steps and I don't know why it isn't popping up on it's own. Also unsure why I can't find the icon in settings.
This laptop is brand new so I didn't change anything on it yet....
i have tried to installed the apps but i cant. the hp support assistant warned me that an important action was needed and on opening to check on the action, i found out that the synaptics touchpad and the realtek local area network had failed to install. both were on the failed items sections and i then redownloaded them through the same hp support assistant. the process went on smoothly and then stopped on the installation section. both the apps are now displayed in the conpleted actions and failed actions boxes. how can i successfully install these programmes?
