well, ubuntu works fine on studio xps 16
but it got the very annoying intel GC disabled notification keep popping out every time u boot up the OS
but no big deal
ubuntu + macbuntu =

for the wifi card/modem/graphic card driver, u can always go to download the driver by using the additional driver in ubuntu
it will automatic detect the device and download the latest driver for it

hello people
my laptop will shut down by itself
it happened during my presentation just now
it's not the first time, it was like randomly one, a few times already
sometimes twice a week, sometimes ok for the whole week
and it cant turn on after that
have to unplug the battery and plug it back in order to turn it on
i already called dell and they will send a technician to check the problem


btw when i unplugged the charger after fully charged the battery
the windows there will still shows that the battery is still charging, and it take a while to changed to power saver mode (with battery), which doesnt happened before until recently
and the red column in the picture (not sure what's the name) >>
the light there will keep on even i already unplugged the charger or shut it down
have to take out the battery from the laptop in order to off the light

any of the users here encounter this problem?

yours is 6cell or 9cell?
mine was fine until last 2 weeks, it will shut down by itself, and i cant switch it unless i remove the battery and put it back
the charging part will delay (after unplugged the charger, the windows still showing charging)
the tech support asked me to run diagnostic at F12
nothing unusual came out
but they already open a case for me and the techinician will come over my site on wed

the battery extended life one i know already
it's the old version's bug i guess
already updated to the new version
ok already


this is what i mean, the charger is not there but the windows still showing that it's charging
and after i restored the windows, same thing happened




here is the error message i saw during the bootup after the laptop had been shut down automatically

hello people,
i think all of u know that dell's warrant is next business day on-site right?

the tech support opened a case for my laptop due to battery problem on last friday

the tech support said that the engineer will come in to my place on today (wed) on last friday with full confidence, and she did told me that monday and tuesday is public holiday

but then just now the person from region HQ told me they will come in by tomorrow

he told me it's due to the 2 days state's holiday (sabah, 30 and 31 may) and they just received the case on this morning



i called the tech support just now and they told me it's SOP due to state's holiday in Sabah
then i ask them why they dont inform me at the first point


they said they received the statement on last minute and they didnt know it is state's public holiday
then how come the one who helped me opened the case know it's public holiday and telling me that the person will come in on wednesday?

i did called to tech support on monday around 4.30pm (peninsular malaysia doesnt have holiday) to reconfirm the case and they didnt inform me abt this

i assume that the statement of declaring holiday in Sabah is come in on tuesday, even it's like that, they should give me a call to inform me that the appointment will be postponed to thursday mah

ended up wasted my time to wait for the engineer to come in

i see
in my case, i didnt change any contact information/address/etc
the tech support person said that monday and tuesday is holiday
so the person will come in on wednesday

but the region HQ over here told me the person will come in by tomorrow
i called tech support again and they told me they dont know it's holiday and they received the statement on last minute
but i did called them on monday, they still said that the appointment still on wednesday

then i asked them why they dont know abt the holiday?
they said it's their SOP to receive statement of state holiday in last minute
and they dont even border to call me/inform me the changes

so i wonder giving wrong infomation and didint inform changes to their customers is also part of their SOP?

maybe check at the battery meter?
fn+F3

i never encounter with this kind of problem

how abt do diagnostic during boot up?
then ask tech support to come over and check

i found that the 720p rmvb files will be laggy when i play it on my laptop
already installed KLM 7.18 + MPC still the same
CCC also installed
anybody encounter this?

the touchpad part will try it later


it's real alternative 2.02 with latest MPC
the image doesnt sync with the voice
voice come first before images

the combination of K lite codec 64bit v4.6.8 with real alterative 2.02 doesnt have any laggy thing happens during 720p rmvb playback

thank for the help lee_what2004

the dell engineer came to my place and replaced the heat sink and the motherboard just now
after the replacement, the system was not stable (boot up screen keep flashing, media panel not working, taskbar cant show properly, etc) because the bios version of the new board was A07
after flashed to A11, everything works fine

and the engineer told me that i can just send my laptop to their office to do check up because their office is located around my college area

Added on June 2, 2011, 4:49 pmi do remove it for better cooling


u can go to battery meter (fn+F3) there to disable the battery from charging to protect the battery

maybe it's the cable problem?
call tech support and ask them to dispatch an engineer to ur site to fix it

then just ask them to check it for u
or maybe claim a new panel?

anybody can enlight me abt the dead pixels policy?
because i found that mine got one small red dot when the screen turned into dark colour/background (like movies, games, photos)
anybody have the same problem with me? can claim or not?

thank you
--------
just called them
anyway the weird thing is after i shut down the laptop, go out for a while and come back and turn it on, the dead pixel gone
this is a good thing i guess
