Latitude D430 - Stuck Keyboard? by
Justin[_9_]
Hi folks, I have a used and abused Dell D430 that I am trying to nurse
back to something resembling life.
As soon as I turn on the machine I get what I believe is a beep code.
Since the keyboard is damaged, I think that is the problem.

eSATA connection for Studio laptop? by
Nate Nagel
I posted this before but got no reply... what cable do I need to use
the eSATA capabilities of my Studio laptop? I believe that it is a
1555. Has what appears to be a combo USB/eSATA connector on the side of
the case, but a eSATA cable does not fit, no way, no how. Link to a
specific part...

Precision Mobile 4500 hard drive connector by
Bob Pownall
I recently ordered a Precision Mobile 4500 and was wondering about the
hard drive.
I'm guessing it's SATA but does anyone here know for sure? The order
process didn't specify.
If worst comes to worse, when it gets here I can just open the case and
look.

Low Graphics Windows Experience Score by
Animenia[_31_]
Hi.
If you update the score does it remain the same for your graphics
score?
Try update the driver to your graphics card -- The one that came with
the CD or pre-installed on the system might not be the latest one.

Loading PBR for descriptor 3...done screw-up by
yirg.kenya
Well, I screwed up royally.
I think I screwed up the mbr. Although f12 will take me to the boot
screen, it's frozen. There's no cursor movement. "Enter" likewise does
nothing.
The data on the disk is ok. I can reboot using my old drive and mount
this one using an external sata-usb converter....

Full install disks by
Anne[_2_]
I just spoke with a Dell representative and he told me that all Dell will
include is a "restore to factory settings" disk. He said if I wanted full
install disks for Win7, I would have to buy the OS separately. Has anyone
been able to get full restore disks lately?
Thanks,
Anne

OT--TV suggestions? by
MZB
OK, we have finally decided to look into getting an HD TV.
We have a cabinet that can hold a 40"-50" TV.
I know nothing about the newer TV's. I don't know the different types
(plasma? Thin screen?). We would hope to pay = $650.
Any suggestions on type/model?

Overclocking Software? by
Tom Lake
Is there any CPU overclocking software that actually works on the XPS
9000? There's no way to do it from BIOS since all references to frequencies
and voltages are missing. What PLL does it use? Most OC utilities I've
tried cant seem to find out and none of the choices listed seem to work.

and got a zillion hits with prices ranging from $20 to $800. Asking for
advice concerning what I actually need on such a card, e.g., ports,

What is 1080p (about screen resolution)? by
paul8
It looks like Dells sales staff assume that customers are not
concerned with screen resolution.
Looking at an expensive laptop like Studio XPS16 , specs will only say
1080p about the resolution.
I could not find any figures in pixels.
For me , number of pixels makes a big difference.
