Oh cool, it's the SPDIF adapter right?

i hope it has SPDIF out...coz cheaper notebooks from other brands that came out a year plus has it...my bro's Hyundai notebook has this...

to use the connection - needs a mono jack to put into notebook slot, other end must be rca....then turn on SPDIF in audio properties...voila!! (this cable i modified myself...so it's good if Dell has a proper one)

read here for more info on getting spdif out using notebook's mini jack port...

placed my order for Inspiron 6400...
usually how long it takes to deliver ar?...
the fella told me 1 week but hopefully it can be faster...
my hand kinda itchy d...especially after trying my cuz sis HP 6000 series...
I actually was looking at tat as well...but dell offers d best price and specs...
hopefully I made the rite choice...too late to turn my back now d...
but must say the design and remote control was the big attraction...
I paid RM 3528 for it...

C2D 1.73 Ghz
2 x 512 mhz DDR RAM (533 mhz)
120 GB
Radeon X1400
Vista Home Premium (hopefully won't lag or else I hav 2 upgrade it)
targus backpack
15.4' XGA display wif truelife...

I did google it.....

But no results.

The spdif adapter i came across is the old version with only 3 connectors.

Whoa, didn't even notice 6400 had a new thread again! Looks like the thread will expand with Dell's new promo..checked Dell's website and for the price I paid in December I'll get lots of upgrades now, so it's really worth it for people eyeing to get a new laptop. Would have waited longer if I didn't need to bring a laptop with me to Australia, but I guess I don't have a choice..

Oh btw, since the price for 3 year CC upgrade has dropped, can I ask Dell to upgrade mine for that price as well?

owh well...i found the old 1 too with 3 connectors...1 for spdif, 1 for (i forgot) n another wan is 4pin svideo out....but should be similar like that...it just that from dell wan got 5 connector...no 4 pin svideo out...4pin svideo out = 3 rca cable...audio left, audio right n video....

which meant, steven's cable should hv 1spdif output, 1 unknown( i forgot ), 2 audio cable, 1 video cable.....

Do you mean this pic?

yes yes yes....

wouldn't it be helpful if there was a proper photo?

know a bit, don't know a bit....

I had been using Dell Inspiron 6400 for more than a year & recently I encounter one problem, do not know if this is the right thread to post my question.

There are 2 power on button for 6400, the normal on/off on the right to access WindowOS or the MediaDirect to go into MediaHome directly. Unfortunately, lately the MediaDirect button of my 6400 is not responding & only prompt me to a blue screen. Any idea why? Thanks.

Maybe u ter-format the direct media. So reinstall the direct media if you want to use it.
