Dell E6400 laptop Bluetooth by
ps56k[_3_]
I have a Dell E6400 Latitude running Win7.
I can see the keyboard LED "blue" icons are lit up for WiFi and Bluetooth.
Where or how is Bluetooth handled/managed on this Dell E6400 laptop,
as I don't think I have found anything within Win7 to support it ??

Some of our laptops turn the display on when
there's a background job running but no activity
-- where the display normally goes dark and stays
dark.
XP, running jobs remotely under Cygwin.
We've never been able to figure out what's causing
it. If you manually turn the display off

E5400 fan+heatsink by
Ron Hardin
I replaced the fan+heatsink K436N in my E5400
owing to squealing and rough running fan.
Very easy, 5 screws and a fan power plug, but
the instructions I could find said to unscrew the
screws in numbered order, marked on the heatsink;
and then to screw them back in in numbered order
on the new...

Maybe Dell is starting to figure it all out? by
Ben Myers[_4_]
Today, a Dell flyer arrived in the mail. Lots of decent Optiplex, Latitude and Precision systems at reasonable prices. EVERY one of them has Windows 7 pre-installed. Not a Windows 8 in the bunch. Maybe Michael Dell looked at Lenovo's rising sales figures and also noticed that Lenovo is pushing...

Precision 390 How to Shut Off Windows with Power Button? by
W[_3_]
What driver(s) do you need to install under Windows XP to have the power
button on the Dell Precision 390 Workstation shut down Windows?
I have one computer where this is working and one computer where it is not,
so presumably this is a configuration or driver issue.

cabled CMOS battery by
Timothy Daniels[_4_]
My XPS M1330 has a CMOS battery consisting of
a "coin" battery gripped by a vinyl sleeve and
connected to 3 wires which terminate in a small
plug. Dell no longer stocks the item (part no. NX131),
and all the retail outlets only have the "coin" - a
lithium battery designated CR-2032. Before I go...

Useful info about recovery partitions, Dell and other by
Ben Myers[_4_]
Whether Dell or another brand, most all computers today come with recovery partitions to save the manufacturers from including another 10 cent item in the package with a system. Also because Steveie Ballmer prefers it that way.
So you get the system and the first thing you are supposed to do is...

I brought a new Dell XPS 8500 last year and purchased a year's

Win 8 MAJOR annoyance by
Steve W.[_4_]
Win 8 has a few minor items that need some tweaking and it settles down OK.
BUT.. There is one item that HAS GOT TO BE CHANGED... The damn
automatic file sorting and refresh while using explorer.
There needs to be a way to shut it off or at least change the way it works.
Why? Say you want to...

Got a whiz-bang HP multimedia tower to work on the other day. Motherboard had blown caps, so I ordered another one, same HP/Asus model number: MN268-LA. So the board that arrives is different, missing a mobo connector for a cable and some connectors on the I/O plate. It also had only one PCI...

Restore by
species8350
I have Dell Recovery drive (used 5 of 10 GB) and was wondering if I should image this partition in case I can't get access to the backup drive.
Is this a good idea - attempt to restore from a DVD
Can you recommend a good free software utility to back up the drive (it will need to compress)

What would cause an M1330 laptop with an nVidia GeForce 8400M
GS graphic card and a Corsair SSD (which was about a month old)

The M1330 laptop sat on a wire grid for cooling, and was running
