QUOTE(jimmykvt @ Apr 23 2011, 01:14 AM) LOL..., Seriously, the air vent can be cleaned up easily, it is only the fan that troubles a lot. I definitely need to wait till the warranty is over to clean up my fan just to avoid the void of warranty. Even after the warranty is over, it is still a laptop, it can still be used to surf websites, watch movies etc. So, even though getting a new laptop, this laptop will still be well taken care for good :] After for 3 and a half year, I tried to apply some thermal paste on it but it doesn't really make a great impact on lowering the temperature. Currently, I'm using Everest Ultimate Edition to monitor my laptop temperature closely as I don't wanna lose this laptop lol. For gaming, the GPU temperature did rise up to 98 degree celcius, it is only being lowered down once I use a table fan to blow directly onto my laptop and it falls back to 90 to 92 degree celcius. I consider to be safe, not to let it surpass 100 degree celcius. First of all, I'm not in an aircon room, so GPU shooting up above 90 degree celcius is not a surprise. Secondly, the fan is connected to 2 heatsinks, one to CPU and one to the GPU (on the motherboard), so the CPU and GPU are sharing the same fan, definitely it is hard to keep temperature low in that way. Unlike gaming laptop which worths RM 4000+, they come with 2 fans which GPU and CPU taking each, so it does bring down the temperature. Most obvious reason is that because the GPU in gaming laptop is much stronger and generates more heat, so the GPU cannot share the same fan with the CPU. But, I believe for most Dell inspiron laptop, the GPU and CPU are sharing one fan, so take my advice, don't push your GPU too hard by playing graphically intensive game. Even if you want to do it, make sure you monitor your GPU temperature closely. Consider gaming laptop like Dell Alienware is kinda expensive and if you have a tight budget of RM 4k to 4.5k and graphics card matters to you a lot, I suggest you to go for Sager NP8130 because I had seen the interior of the laptop, it is well design with 2 fans and having a Nvidia Geforce GTX 460m. Somemore, my new laptop is a Sager for one reason, it is easier to clean the fans in it, no need to disassemble the whole thing like what I did to my Dell Inspiron. Of course if you like Dell and really wanna take good care of your Dell laptop well by cleaning the air vent and fan once in a while, I suggest you take a look at some of the youtube videos on how to disassemble your inspiron laptop. The following video is not made by me but I do refer to it on how to disassemble my laptop. Furthermore, I had seen those technicians disassembling my laptop for me when they were replacing my defective motherboard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj27k2v6Bdw QUOTE(kelvyn @ Jul 20 2011, 01:36 PM) Hi guys, So guys, need some help here...Hope someone could advice on what should I do.. I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 notebook (Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7250) The problem I am facing is that there is some problem with the display card. At times, when I switch on the notebook, the display would not come on. Have checked with Dell and was told that the display is built into the Motherboard. I have a desktop and does not need the notebook. So, should I sell off the notebook without repairing? Or should I get it repair first, then sell off? Any advice is most appreciated I think I experienced the same thing like you kelvyn I'm a 1420 Inspiron user. Recently I have been confirmed that my laptop is experiencing the worlwide Nvidia graphic card problem related to overheating. This problems was well known since 2008 (ironically the year I bought it) and they provide free replacement worldwide if I'm not mistaken. So now I feel I'm been cheated by Dell which have known the problem all along and instead still sold the thing to me. And now my warranty is also over and from forums and blog, they did mentioned if i still have the warranty, they will replace the same mobo which can give the same prob all over again. So maintaining the device like jimmykvt is the only thing that can preserve the device in the longer period. Typically, I have the option to extend the warranty for 900+ to replace the mobo or 1200++ for the mobo only with no guarantee. And both are not worth it in my opinion. What do you guys think? Its better to get it fixed outside the warranty, loose spare parts etc or any other solution for my prob...thanks a lot |

I would think so but I love the device and no prob until now but feels a bit sad about the known prob but not known to me. Installing the thing can improve anything? If i have bnyk duit for sure beli baru punya install apa yg u xde. geforce 8400M i heard got issue. beli laptop baru saje. |
