wow bro, you set your speaker volume to max? wouldn't it break your speaker and caused cracking sounds?
usually my default volume is 25 and goes around 35/40 at windows mobility center listening to music and watching videos with "normalize" option on players

hey mate, How do I change it? I'm afraid to break open my laptop la. Haha...

Is there anyway to buy the keyboard from dell and ask them to come fix it? And how much would that cost?

Hi guys
I have a DELL Studio 14. I understand the screen resolutions are way higher than other notebooks around. At max. resolutions, the screen is very clear and nice looking (but a little bit too small). However, when I want to decrease the resolution (say to 1280x768 etc), the wordings/ pictures on the notebook become blurry. I was wondering whether it is the same for all other Studio laptops?

My Studio 14 is an old model with Core 2 Duo. No dedicated GPU.
Thank you very much!

if u want dell to come onsite and change for u.. please prepare RM150+ for that.
to change it is not so hard.. actually is pretty simple.. i did it in 10 mins.
some bro here posted how to open ur laptop and change it guide from dell.
i also follow the instruction only... u can upgrade ur backlit keyboard by urself... only RM80+.
and yes.. the manufacturer i bought from is the OEM supplier for dell so the keyboard looks exactly the same as the one dell selling.

... not just other studio laptops... All display is like that... For example, studio 15(mine) resolution is 1366x768. That means the lcd got 1366 vertical lines and 768 horizontal lines(of pixels). Means.. in a row, there's 1366 pixels and there's 768 rows. Therefore, the display is utilized to display at 1366x768. When u lower down the resolution, like 800x600, the pixels are stretched. Not longer 1 pixel as 1 pixel... Maybe 2 pixels are used to display 1 pixel in 800x600.

Therefore, it becomes blurry. I don't know how to espress what i know. haha

{dell studio 1555 user} :Guy...i need some tips here....its been anoi me for some times
my laptop is sick..(i guess)... i have a prob of the "usb notification sound" (when plug in a usb, wil appeal a 'ding dong' sound) i duno how to describe the sound.. lol

Hi all sifu,

I'm currently looking for a laptop with price range around 3-3.5k, not a hardcore gaming user but emphasis more on the built-in quality and performance. 1st time buying laptop, hopefully can get some advice on what laptop to buy.

Thx.

Thank you very much for your reply
Yes I understand what you mean
But its just weird because my F60 (1366x768) can set to (1280x768) without any blurring at all whereas the Studio 14 will blur with every resolution settings except for the highest one Its very nice looking but its a bit too small haha
Anyway, thanks again bro, I really like the Studios design

What's the battery life usage per charge for Studio15?

is it standard for DVD burner slot load or optional?

I know some of you guys have discuss this before
but does everyone have problem with their dvd rom/drive/optical drive?
I hate this slot load drive as I face these problems. Did anyone succesfully asked them to change your optical drive and doesn't face this problem anymore?

1. Install windows after formatting. During installation, the disc would run and stop for a while and then run and stop after a few minutes making the installation slower to complete.

2. Copying a single big size movie and data takes a longer time which I assume the read speed is slow since my desktop can copy 18-20MB/s according to the copy speed at "more details" running non stop. Studio 15 dvd drive only copies at a low speed from 5-8MB/s with many stops and resume in the middle process.

3. Watching movie from a dvd disc is a fuss and really makes me angry. I keep facing intermittent pauses every 5 second due to the disc stopping and resume. I have to copy the movie into the hard disk and watch which is troublesome for me.

studio is one of the best choice to go. i bought it 1 year back and still running like a charm (no format, no nothing fancy)
yes.. a bit slow compare to new.. more load to boot up and it's normal ( i installed more and more software on it).
good for gaming (i am also not a hardcore gamer), so i play it once a while when i got time.
my batt life is good coz i'm using 9 cell that can easily last for 4 hours.

as mentioned 9 cell can go for 4 hours, slot load is standard for studio.
no way to change i believe.

my dvd rom serve me well.. no any issue like urs le... maybe different batch different dvd model.

My studio's warranty just expired!~ Still going strong... Battery 100% charged can still manage to go up to 3 hours!!(pure surfing only... Not PSing or Gaming)... My DVD also not giving me prob(btw... i rarely use it too...) The speaker is nice(but i just got an edifier m1335 to get better sound). Still no scratch on my s1555(protected with transparent sticker from ezstick(not confirm... forgot edi)
The only prob for me is... the volume of the headphone jack... with headphone... around 36 is max i will go... for my new 2.1 speakers, i will go until about 20 only... 100 will kill them(headphone and speakers) i guess...

last week, i'm having some problem...a silver line under task bar is blinking / i got horizontal lines...just below task bar... i went to search for troubleshooting..
it says the problem is from magnetic field? i'm usually used broadband..is it effect to the problem? how should i remove it? i'm using dell studio 15...

this is what i got for solution...but i still don't understand..T____T
how to do step by step?


''CRT monitors are often more prone to outside interference than LCD monitors. Interference can be caused by devices that transmit radio frequencies (RF) (such as a baby monitor or CB radio), or devices that produce magnetic fields (such as a motor in an electric fan), or even by just having a tangle of power cables on or near the monitor.

Radio signals can interfere with the signal going between your computer and monitor, and in some cases can cause horizontal lines to appear, as well as other interference. To reduce interference, move the RF device away from the computer, or move the computer and monitor away from the device.

Moving magnetic fields (such as from an electric motor) can cause flickering when near a CRT screen. A static magnetic field, such as from your computer's speakers, can cause color shifts or incorrect colors in the area near the magnet. This color shift is caused by parts of the screen becoming magnetized. Occasionally the color shift will remain after you remove the source of magnetism. To help reduce or eliminate the color shift, you can use the degaussing option on most monitors. Most newer monitors automatically degauss when you turn them on, while older monitors might require you do to it manually. Most monitors have a button or menu option that enables you to degauss it manually. Degaussing a monitor will de-magnetize the inside of the monitor, removing the color shift. Unfortunately, if the monitor is exposed to the source of magnetism for too long, degaussing will not be able to clear it up, requiring you to repair or replace the monitor.''

Oo... But the solution u found is for flickering... Ur case is just the lowest part of the lcd. i don't really know. haha!~ but if it's something to do with magnetic field... maybe u got speakers around(old speaker that is not magnetically shielded). If yes, then it may be the problem. Newer speakers mostly magnetically shielded. Won't affect monitors.

Slot load as standard? That's cool. The tray is annoying. But what if the disc jammed, how to remove it?

3 hours ++? what's your spec? Btw running on 6 cell or 9 cell?

Does Studio15 laptop battery comes with battery level checker? (the one with 5 LED on the battery pack)

i don't know...all i can see only horizontal silver lines below the task bar.... i don't have speaker around..the only thing i used only broadband and earphone.. and streamix modem?...herm..i don't know.....

Got. the battery comes with the battery level checker.

I'm running on power saver mode. The maximum cpu usage is only 50%. That's why... 3 hours still can la...
