it worked for me too... Are you using the latest quickset? and the correct wireless drivers?

My XPS 1640 has got buzzing sound from the speakers when playing songs, metallic buzz, like got some lose metal, not the DPC issue. Today the technician just changed the front speakers for me, but problem still persists. Anyone else facing this issue? They're going to change the subwoofers btw...

no, that's the DPC latency sound... this one like vibrating metal...

wow, may I know which model was that? Anyway this XPS I'm using is already an 1:1 exchange from a previous M1530 due to buzzing microphone which cannot be resolved after changing various components, really a tech support nightmare. I wonder if they'll do another 1:1 exchange for me...

Yup, just changed mine they'll exchange the 90W one for free

I'm using that driver, after a while crackling sound will come, haha, just like the previous one. The crackling disappeared because you just restarted computer, continue for a few hours and see? Anyway, for me, the offending software was BitComet, just closing it and reopen will solve the problem for at least a few hours. So, try to identify the softwares that uses a lot of network traffic, and if the sounds do come back, restart the software.

same here, got the round 3 pins plug...

Yeah, it's heavier and bulkier, at first I found it inconvenient, but after a while you'll get used to carrying it around.

And I too realised that they are using the ones with shock protection, not the cheap ones

I see... mine is a WD one, Scorpio Black (SD3200BJKT), with free-fall sensor... guess they've changed the newer ones then... Got mine about a year ago

I've got 3 Dells delivered to me and this is the first time I heard that they are actually using SMS to inform.

You mean the laptop screen + another screen? Connect the VGA cable to another screen, then open the ATi Catalyst, from there you can select how you want the 2 screens to show.

ah, still under warranty?

Yup, using the display ratio like 4:3 or 16:9, you can work the exact height and width out using the good old Pythagoras theorem

allows dust to enter where? the computer table?

I agree, for the speaker, but I don't see how removing the battery aggravates this issue....

yeah, battery always out on AC...

I still don't get what you mean... why removing the battery will cause dust to accumulate in the speaker grill?

I thought when the battery is removed, directly below the gap is the table... nvm...

Wow, after 5 years still can get refund? using warranty claim?
