what is grainy problem??

got it for rm5800

btw guys,am i suppossed to get free xps cd case?cause when the package arrivd....the cd case isn't there
what shud i do?

xps cd case?
what case?

I guess high pitch noise is not a problem but as per design since your motherboard also changed.
I guess as a good will, dell will only replace all the related part for you but not for whole unit replacement which is cannot 100% solve too... if they replace, definitely will get the samsung again if the original order is samsung.

hi guys. i am in a dilemma between xps1530 and the inspiron counterpart. Now they have promotion for xps1530 in which they give free 9cell battery upgrade. How much does the 9cell battery cost previously?

i think for upgrade from 6cell to 9cell will cost about rm600+

actually the high pitch sound i still able to tolerate but after they change the fan, there is another constant sound coming from my speaker area now,and this is not the typical whine which worries me,still waiting for dell to call though,if the replacement is a samsung i would ask them to send a technician to swap with my current LG lcd,i dont think it will be a problem

guyz i just order my xps and i've upgraded my 6-cell to 9-cell for free..

Seem like you are enjoying ripping your laptop apart and replacing items.
Hahahaha...

Thanks for the tip, will try it later.

Yeah, but that's after the Korea battery factory was burnt down, causing shortage of lithium-ion batteries used in laptop computers resulted in higher battery pack prices.
If I'm not mistaken, it used to be about RM 100 for the 9 cell upgrade...

Your 4GB RAM you purchase directly from DELL or you yourself purchase and install it. Your RAM is 800Mhz but as I know, DELL only offer 667Mhz RAM.

lol actually the technician wasnt as reckless as i thought he is,anyways the next service would be tommorow, someone is coming over again to check on my high pitch sound problem and a newly form sound on the speaker part, and also replace the bracket on the side of the panel,was loose after he took my laptop apart,apparently the technician says our xps isnt as durable as inspiron model because some of the parts like the screen bezel only uses clip and not screws

How many times did DELL technician came over to your place?

2 times,tommorow would be the third time,i am guessing they are gonna replace my processor,i hope they dont forget the thermal paste again

I think it's the palm rest's problem.My bracket also a bit lose.



You better remind them.

i wanna ask when the battery fully charged and i plug in the charger,will it recharge again and again? or it will block it and run on ac power only?

hey guys,my friend's m1530 got a minor problem.
the window explorer will close automatically everytime when she open the harddisk C
anyone here know what's the problem??
thanks!

no idea if its the palm rest but they have ordered the parts though,will see how it goes,too late to remind them now,just hope he bring the thermal paste

Your laptop is exactly the same as mine.Mobo died,then,they screw up the black panel and replaced it.Then,palm rest problem but i just leave it.

A little bump in the middle isnt that bad,compare to dead mobo.

Most likely it's a software problem.Dont think this is the correct place to ask.Vista have all sorts of weird errors.

Why so many of you guys changed mobo anyway?

seems like the xps series suffer a lot of mobo problem. Everyone is advising against buying xps series over inspiron due to this

@@" is it? i still thinking to buy xps1530m ler @@" is it really true?

lol i think u mistaken something,my mobo didnt die, the mobo was replaced because they suspect the whining sound is from the mobo,i notice now 1 of my headphone jack is really loose,sigh,i think i got to ask them to replace the mobo again ...btw the palmrest can be replaced

Mine was due to mobo failure.The whole laptop cant start.

After they replace,it's ok adi.



Up to you anyway,no one forcing you to buy.



No,not every M1530 have this problem.Only a handful of them got problem like mine and Pro-MX.



I think the whining sound is due to one of the inverter's problem.The technician didnt put it correctly.baowen used to have this problem too,if im not wrong.

I know the palmrest can be replaced but i dont want.After they come to fix something,then,spoil something else.

anyone?

Most likely it's a software problem.Dont think this is the correct place to ask.Vista have all sorts of weird errors.

so can we call the dell technical come and fix this kind problems?

Yup, I purchased the RAM myself and installed it, since it's much cheaper in Low Yat, and it doesn't void the system's warranty. Still thinking if I should sell the old one tho...

is the laptop very hot and cause the mobo dead?

dell took money away from my account ...
slightly above 4k for my m1530... hope it does not have the grainy lcd with the 1440x900 screen....

Suggest you better keep the old RAM in case anything happen. You still can claim if your RAM failure. Just an advised.

No,it's more like the initial batch's design problem.

Honestly,the laptop is not as hot as other people say.I can play Sins on almost max,10 players and it's still doesnt feel hot.Other games also like that.

No cooling pad or what so ever.

how come mine hot like a pizza

just now when i use my xps suddenly pop up blue screen said internal hdd not detected and press f1 to reboot but no hdd detected. i tot my hdd spoil adi but when i restart my computer it can go into the windows again. can someone tell me what's the problem?

I got that before too.Dunno why and it never happen again.

oh...but after that u got replace ur hdd before? scare my hdd suddenly spoil ...

Hope it doesnt happen loh.

Hard disk these days. :shake:

Sata HD sometimes will get this error. I guess the cable is not stable enough like IDE. May be cos by bottleneck. U heavy using ur laptop while get this error?

I strongly suggest you run a full diagnostic test on hdd to clarify.

Ok...

Anyway to solve that?

Is anyone using Vista SP1 with M1530 and modded GC drivers?

So far just can restart to solve the problem Try not over heavy load ur laptop lo.

i dun know what the heck is going on at dell,today the technician bring another fan to replace again, obviously the whine still there la and its get worse now,another sound emerge,like bee sound on the speaker part =.= ....they are bringing a new processor and motherboard tommorow to replace....anyways when i got my first unit my hdd also undetected,turns out its motherboard problem because they tried replacing new hdd still the same,i suggest u give xps technical support a call

I overload it it now also got no problem.

Guess it's some SATA problem.

So after all your problems, do you still think you will be buying another Dell?
Im just curious..

I guess Im not the choosy type which explained why my 2007WFP still here with me...

after a long fight, finally i got LG screen for my M1530!!

LG (LPL0301) vs Samsung (SEC3358)

1. sharper with zero grains!!
2. much much more brighter and higher contrast
3. better colour reproduction (no need to tweaks so much at Nvidia Control)
4. wider viewing angles

Dell should put and use this screen in M1530 from the beginning

with LG screen my M1530 is perfect and now i'm very happy
the tech guy that came to my house also very nice and professional

waaa..
i also want to have lg screen..
how can i get the screen??need to rosakkan my lcd??
hehehehe...

i would still buy a dell,they come straight to ur house to fix ur laptop thats what i like,what other company does that? i cant think of any,i called up the customer care manager today,she say if changing the processor still doesnt solve the problem she will try "other options"...i dont know what she mean by that but i am definitely going to ask for a replacement if they cant fix my problem,they change almost every single hardware in the laptop

congrats, the difference between the 2 screen is really a big difference

Is it the screen resolution is (1440x900)? My current selling M1530 come with this resolution but no option to customize on web.

my screen is WXGA (1280 x 800). jason111785 (one of the new M1530 users here) has WXGA+ screen but he report that he got the Samsung.
last time if you order WXGA+, high possibility you will get an LG.
now it looks like all type resolutions will be ship with Samsung screen.

regarding my new LG screen, although i set the brightness to 30% it still brighter than my old Samsung screen!!

I know Dell is very good with their service, but wouldnt you prefer to have a trouble free unit instead of having to change it every now n then?
