I've owned my Z for almost a year now, and i'm thinking that alot of dust must be in the fan now.
Has anyone opened their Z up and cleaned it yet?
I'm also going to apply some arctic silver 5 too, just for good measure.
I own a VGNZ890FKB laptop and I was wondering where does the air come into the laptop to cool it down? I know it expels the air on the left hand side through the grill.
Also it is quite dusty in my room and my laptop is starting to run hot with the hot weather, and I was wondering how to take out the dust? (without opening it)
Trying to get rid of these questionably useful programs -- but I don't see entries for them in add/remove programs in the control panel (or for any of the other useless VAIO software packages that come on OEM machines sans "fresh start")

View 4 Replies View RelatedRecently I've noticed that my entire right hand portion of my LCD is covered with black specs. At first I thought they were dead pixels, but some of the specs are larger, and lighter in color.
I opened up MS Paint and drew a circular dot around the black specs, and then I looked to the side of the LCD. I could still see the black specs underneath the dots, so I think it is dust.
Does anyone know how I could disassemble the LCD and clean the dust off?
I came home from a trip and unpacked my laptop from its case and went about playing some relaxing TF2. When I exited to my desktop I realized how *filthy* my screen was so I started cleaning it off...
and then I noticed one big spot wasn't coming off. If I look at it from a different angle it disappears and its not acting/looking like a dead pixel so I think that theres dust stuck on the LDC itself.. if that makes sense.
I called Dell and they quoted me a price to fix it for $800. I asked if there was a way to fix it myself and they said they couldn't tell me.
Its 2 weeks since i have received my sxpx 16.... i luv it but there is a problem.
i found about 6-9 specks of dust within the Led pane which is only visible when the lap is switched off or on a black/white background..i dont know whether others have this complaint..
I own an XPS M1530 with a WXGA+ screen. My wife has a Studio 15 with a WXGA TL (CCFL) screen.
Why does dust seem to stick to the screen much more and faster on the Studio than on my XPS?
we use both laptops on the same environment... has the screen type have something to do with this?
I've got a small dust speck behind the LCD pane on my new Dell SXPS 1340, so no amount of rubbing is going to help.
I've contacted Dell, and after a not so short in time yet short in number set of emails, they told me that my LCD screen isn't in a condition to warrant a replacement.
Fine, I don't need it replaced; I just want the spec out of there .....
I have a can of compressed air I'll be using to dust off my laptop.
How do I go about cleaning it? Do I just spray air into the vents or...?
i just got my Studio XPS 16 in from the dell outlet. it looks perfect other then the fact that between the glass and the screen there are 2 small marks that are not dead or stuck pixels.
i have one on the upper right and the other thats right in the middle. i was wondering if there was a way of fixing this as its anyouing the heck out of me

I got my Studio XPS 13 last night and spent about 5 hours installing Vista Business 64-bit from scratch and setting everything up.
It has been running great so far; however, I just noticed one or two dust particles between the glass and the lcd.
What should I do? It only bothers me when the background is white or light color. Should I ignore all that hard work and get it exchanged or am I being too anal about it? What are the chances of the next one being tightly sealed?
I keep getting dust in my Studio XPS Speakers.
The dust just gets stuck in the little holes, and I can not remove it.
Quite annoying, specially since the notebook is all black and the dust is usually white.
Last week I sent in my HP DV5T to get fixed because one of the supervisors set up a repair because I told them that there was dust between my Inifinity Screen and LCD and that there are keyboard impressions on my screen. I send it in, and wait and check the order status.
Last night I checked and saw that I had a service charge of $428.35 so I called and questioned them. They told me that we had to "Escalate" the problem and that I have to personally talk to a Case Manager. I call the Manager and I tell him my problems. He tells me that the two problems that I have are out of warranty claims and that it is physical.
I argueed for almost an hour and still nothing. I gave up and they are in the process of returning my laptop. Thing is that, he said that the issue of having dust and keyboard impressions are now in the "ISSUE TRACKER" status and that HP will be looking out for others that have the same problem.
So what I'm hoping is that many of you that have DUST or Keyboard impressions with your INFINITY Display, call up HP and complain because they said if they hear about it enough, that it will fall into a Design Flaw and that we will all get Brand New screens.
I've noticed that all HP Infinity Displays get dust by people that posted comments here on the Notebook Review, so whether or not you have a DV5T or anything else, just as long as you have a INFINITY SCREEN, you should call and complain because we should not be held responsible with the repair costs for a design flaw.
My wifes trusty laptop of over 8 years has finally succumbed, it now begins to boot, then stops, and restarts, rinse repeat.
No screen activity, no post, just cpu fan, lights and then nothing, restart.
Kinda the restart of death. I've taken out the mainboard and all other componants and cleaned, then replaced, still nothing.
HD was already removed and data transferred, she's sharing my DV7 now in win 7 ...
(really think MB, pwr supply of some sort) Plan on getting her a new one, but if someone knew of a known issue with these symptoms ...
have beautiful LG screen in My XPS M1530 but recently i started to notice few black dots in the screen , i thought it might be dead pixel but they look completely different from all the pics i have seen in the internet .
It looks more like a dust particle then a Dead Pixel . and its very annoying
But I want to make sure before i call dell.
here are few pictures ( one in the middle and many in the side of the screen )
(Click On Them to See a Bigger Image)
I Tried for Better Pictures but this what i got any other means guys and if those are Dust Particles , how to remove them i have tried to clean them from outside its not going
Well, i took my D520 apart to give it a clean... And then it hit me to add a dust filter on the fan so it does not get dusty.
I had a OEM speaker out of my Taurus, and that has this very thin cloth like material covering the speaker for what ever reason
might just look nicer then seeing the speaker) I cut a little square out, and then placed it under the fan. The fan holds the filter nicely, and it does not take away from the cooling
when i have the back cover off i cant get to the heatsink completely.. there isnt so much dust there.. look at the pic in the red squares im pretty sure there is a lot of dust but i cant get to it?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just want to know if Dell fixed the problem with their new screens, i am having some dust particles in the lower left hand corner..
i called Dell and after arguing with the rep, he said they will send me a box and i have to ship the Laptop to them for a screen replacement. The rep was saying that this was due because i dropped the laptop and cracked the screen, this is ridiculous because the laptop has been sitting on my desk and never been dropped.
Anyway, i just want to know if they fixed the new screens, because if they don't i can wait because the replacement screen will have to be replaced again in few months..........
There's all little bits of white dust in the speaker panel and it won't come out if I try to vacuum it.

Does anyone have a link to a website or PDF describing how to properly open and disassemble a VAIO VGN-SZ75GN?
I have a VAIO VGN-SZ75GN, bought about 8 months ago, and now I want to exchange the built-in hard-disc with a solid-state disc.
I need some guide with illustrations/pictures, how to reach the disc
I have just been given a VAIO PCG8A2M (GRX316MP) , i was told "it's broken but if you can fix it yo can have it" so having a quick look at it there's no sign of life on the display but the lights come on and i can here the HDD heads moving about.
Looking a little more i found that all the ram is missing , so now im not sure if its worth buying some ram to see if it works or not ? The lack of ram would prob explain the lack of display but i wonder if i should be getting POST beeps at least, which im not.
So my question is if a VAIO had no ram should (if all else was working) it be getting POST beeps ?
Just performed a successful XP downgrade on my Vaio Z520, but have noticed that on this copy of the Vaio Silver Desktop Theme/Appearance doesn't exist.
I had it on my SZ and loved it over the XP Blue. Is there a way to get it back? I still have the restore discs from the SZ.
I don't know whats the diference (besides the price), between VAIO TZ295N & VAIO TZ395N. Specs in all the websites I've checked say they have exactly the same components: Intel coreduo 1.33Ghz 2GB RAM DVD-RW and 64GB SSD Hardrive. I was wonder if the diference might be in the hard drive interface, with the TZ295N being PATA and TZ395N being SATA.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if the Blu-ray optical drive (Panasonic UJ-232A) of the (old) VAIO Z series will be able to fit into the (new) VAIO Z series? I would really appreciate it if anyone is able to answer my question.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm seriously thinking of selling my VAIO Z690 & just buying the base Sony VAIO Z (VPCZ112GX/S). I may just be able to afford that base model & the icing on the cake will definitely be the UJ-232A drive being able to fit into the (new) VAIO Z series & work.
