Hi guys, is it normal that I need to press the power button quite hard to turn on my Vostro 5470? At first I thought it was broken but it seems that i need to press the power button quite hard. In my situation, I need to push the button deep until it sounds 'click', then after that I need to further push it until the light comes out...

Bought Vostro 5460 August last year and now already having problem can't turn on. It started with the whole screen suddenly flicker like 'water flowing horizontal' then i just press power button to force shut down. When I want to restart it never happen, can only see power and hard disk activity light blink every five seconds...sigh..

Or could this be because of virus when i click that torrent file to download a movie

Too bad dell support off today

Hi there, how's the battery life on the Vostro 5470 on WiFi doing surfing and light work? is it able to reach 4-5 hours of usage?

i think your unit got problem. mine press like normal and light on.

yup, 4 hours can sustain on battery wifi while using the laptop.

Anyone here knows whr to get msata (half height) for the Vostro 5470?

what happened?

Wanted to buy a msata for cahce partition (5470 i5). but then i cant seems to find the add-on at Dell.
I've google if and find that Vostro 5470 uses a half height msata, if its true, is there anywhr i can get in malaysia?

have u tried to call dell?

putochip123 or raymondtong94,

Just wondering if you guys could help me upgrading my fiancee's Vostro 5460 RAM to 8GB? Location @ INCEIF @ PJ

Somehow Dell takes a long time to reply my email. Any forumer whom able to assist is welcome to PM as well.

Guys.. this 5470 vostro has 1 or 2 slot for ram? And is it true the ram used must be the low voltage type? Planning to upgrade the ram for gaming purposes..

I would say use the money for SSD. Ram doesnt effect the gaming performance. It jist effect the loading speed

its 1 slot only.

Bro, buy the highest spec 5470. it comes with 32GB SSD but touch screen. I suggest u chat with the Dell sales assistance while ordering. They said can ask for discount.(not sure right or not)

I bought the i5 model without the touch screen 1 from a pc shop, i know it doesnt comes with SSD.
Just wondering if i can get to buy a half height msata for caching purpose.
I will try to contact dell and see if they hav it.

i emailed them before buying. they stated entry level model no further discounts.
finally end up buying from viper88. search for him in the sales section. got a little extra discounts.

Have to pay how much or its free?

its free, you just made a story of complain and ask to change, when the approve for change, ask for the realtek card. not intel.

what games have u played with this 5460/5470? anyone?
