Not much to report? Haha, my M1210 still doing fine after about 2 weeks of endless use... BUT, I just noticed that the gap between the black magnesium cover and the grey plastic LCD frame is quite noticable... Design defect? My paranoia?

Well, unless it comes apart (and providing me with a good opportunity to assess how "COMPELTE" Complete-Cover really is), I guess we won't know for sure... Eh?

But, things are getting stable on my side of the M1210 use... Not much gaming on it anymore, OR GUI mods... Maybe it's the exams I'm currently taking... Maybe its just me getting old...

OR, maybe its the 2nd hand Sony Clie PEG-TJ37 PDA that I just brought that's taking my mind of the M1210 (and ANOTHER 2nd hand Clie PEG-SJ22 I got barely a few days before that)... 

Talk about exam induced madness...

When a 12incher is STILL too big, what would you do? For me (considering the limited amount of money that I have to even THINK of getting a EeePC), I succumbed to the devils of vintage Palm computing...

And, 3 years on (except for the crap battery life), the PEG-TJ37 holds its own nicely even against most Windows Mobile PDAPhones... Even with its crap 32MBs of storage (thankfully expandable to 4GB through MSProDuo Cards), it STILL feels faster then my friend's HTC Touch... I know I can't phone people with the Clie though, but I expect my PDA to be just that: A PDA...

My Eiten-Tan - SE W810i - can fill up for much of the rest... 

Thinking of doing a full article on the evolution of PDAs (at least how I see it)... Maybe later after exams...

Hi All,

My keyboard button has dropped out. Can anyone guide me to fix it by myself or is there any service centres in KL that i can visit to solve this problem.

Thanks alot everybody! Great thread!

i just upgraded to one year warranty CC. thank god this laptop never fails me

Darned... CES... Do you have access or is it free for public consumption? If you can get there, snap me a whole bunch of gadget pics, zip em up and mail em to me pretty please?

LYN's most probably not crazy enough to send their lone freelance intern out to the US to cover CES to begin with (although I never give up praying), so a bunch of pics from the scene should help ease the pain (of a tech writer who can't reach CES - or CEBIT - even if he tried)...

Haha,same problem but my mobo didn't dead.Apparaently,it's heatsink stucked with dust,too.

geezzz...guys. u all got to help me. my xps 1210 just got hit by a virus (gonna knock my brother for that)....

tried so many anti virus and also spybot to fixed the problem... now looks okay...but still got some weird error message where it did not exist before.

thinking to reformat and reinstall the win xp...problem is, where can i get all the driver files ??? can u guys give me the link please !!

How did your battery died?

I just got a message prompt stating "your battery is able to charge normally however it is reaching the end of its usable life". What the hell, my XPS is only abt 7-8months old! Worst of all.. the message states this is not covered under warranty! My old Inspiron 4150's battery was still good after more than 1 yr of usage and I expect XPS should perform better!

Not sure if i can nego a free replacement! Buying a new batt in less than a yr is ridiculous!

usually the bluetooth also included and support A2DP profile. try to pair if you have other computer, if work on stereo. then you might need to update your xps 1210 bluetooth latest driver. good luck 

yo dude, how much is dat bluetooth headset?

ARRRGGG... my 6 cell batter is dead. just use it about 1.5 years.
why so fast die 1 ar? i don't use it often.

where u getting d 9 cell batt?

wow. vultures. XD nah jk jk.

azel, can find 2nd hand unit?

ps: the studio xps 13 is damn sexy.*hint hint* XD

any xps m1210 users looking for original 9-cell battery? PM me

thanx.

this is a great laptop BTW

new one battery .......????
can anyone tell me the max. hard disk can be supported by m1210.....

yup sure can just un screw the hdd screw & take it out.

i would suggest go for 5400rpm. reason? slower rpm may not produce as much heat as m1210 is really heatup now!
just my opinion.

Anyway, my m1210 warranty is goin expired soon. any idea how much would the extended warranty price and does it worth?
and from previous post i read someone said dell even quote till 1k+ for 1 year extension!
