@shortleg88

the socket connecting the AC adaptor seems loose??? izzit normal?
for new AC Adapter I found that the connection are very tight. why it seem loose coz probability you only connect in half way, need to use force & hardly push it, you might hear a click sound when only fully connected

and how to put the express card slot ar? my itchy hand took it out but now having prob to insert it back in...
I guess you're smart enough to solve it after a few try

edit : and they swap the key on my keyboard for @ and "

example : Shift + 2 instead of getting @ turns out ", vice versa...how 2 change ar?
for this issue, pretty sure that when you setup the computer, you set the default language/input other than English(US). check your control panel, make sure the default is English(US) and the default input is also English (US). Keyboard are designed based in US standard.


usually I only call Dell if I really cant find the answer or hardware failure. personally felt that very idiot to screwing ppl for only very simple question, politely ask still acceptable. maybe we should set our mindset for the notebook might is not faulty/failure if we are not 100% sure the issue, rather than always think we get faulty/failure or problematic system or very bad luck (no hard feeling). learn how to learn.

it got the ding-dong sound ( hardware notification sound ) when i press fn+f2 but still nth happens

are you using vista or winxp? if vista:
1. after extract the driver, manually go to the folder unziped,
2. explore 1 folder named "Win32" and run setup
3. just complete the installation although ask for activate.
4. after that you probability will see the bluetooth icon in blue and red at the sys tray. right click turn it on (once time only when first install). then your fn+f2 will work to enable/disable.

*hmn** it will not. if not what is the purpose Dell publish the link from my previous post? not agree about this then you can read the long T&C. but of course you need to bear your responsibility, this is the main point. only old man, aunty, etc.. of course they worry and scare... hahahha, dun do lor.. spent some time to call, email....

FOR LCD Hinge , open it is only as easy as fingertip , i hav opened it last time in order  to take out my keyboard for cleaning ....

To open it , juz take a screw driver , slot inside ,and take the cover out . Use a screw driver to tighten the screw , thats all , ntg more or ntg less

dont think too much on voidng the warranty . It is impossible to considered as voiding the warranty

processor and mobo is my definition on internal part . LCD NOT included .

Even ur spoilt ur own mobo and processor , juz call dell and tell them . claim ur limited warranty .

Unless u accidentally drop the whole LCD while u taking the LCD out FOR fun , then juz claim  CompleteCover . Voiding warranty ? i tot Dell warranty is the covered all type of accident.  Vod warranty ? no such thing for dell .  whistling.gif  whistling.gif  whistling.gif

If u r so worry on the warranty , juz call dell and replaced a new 1 , thats all. Claim ur completecover
and all C2D system come wif CD sticker only.... no matter when u ordered it .
*
if you spoilt it by ur self, I think the dell onsite technician will know, accidentally drop and tear down damage there is a different. and limited warranty only covered for hardware failure/faulty but not for mobo/processor spoit! Just depend on the technician want to help you or report only. if they are very strict, this is not covered under warranty even complete cover and will charge you! T&C stated, self tear down need to bear your own responsibility. Dell is not stupid, if the casing is not damage why inside the mobo & processor damage if you're really accidentally drop the system? I heard before, if you're continuous non-stop claim for complete cover, will be flag as Integrity Issue, catch you.... sweat.gif sweat.gif

means when buying Vista..i should go for the 32bit version only? thanks for the info. smile.gif currently how much does Vista Ultimate & Home Premium retail? is it possible to get OEM version from Dell (w/o buying a new PC) or from shops?
*
No, OEM version only bundled with new system, this is the rules from Microsoft. but I can see some of other shops just sell it to get more business blush.gif

i thought all inspiron support 677mhz
if not, why would the website gives u option to purchase 677mhz at any processor option if its not support. blink.gif
*
not all inspiron support, depend on wat processor model you order. example: T2250, T2050 are 533MHz FSB, if installed 677MHz memory, will only operate as 533MHz. certain Core Duo processor only & Celeron usually are 533MHz, all C2D will be 677MHz, 800MHz, etc...
