QUOTE(Guardian @ May 4 2007, 09:13 AM) Yes,you should.If not mistaken,heat will reduce the battery life,correct me if I am wrong. i called dell and asked them regarding whether i should remove it, and they told me it's not neccessary. They say mobos will cut off the power to it once it's fully charge. And one thing i'm concerned of is the possibility of dust accumulation at the contact if you remove the battery. |

QUOTE(kwws @ May 7 2007, 04:55 PM) yea compatible...dell have updated a newer driver oledi... how do they name the version of the driver ar??but somehow the new driver has less settings compared to old one...powermizer n screen color settings are gone how come newer one has a lower value? 94.22 while the older one has a higher value? 97.46 should i install it eh? i got 3.4 for gaming graphics and 3.7 for graphics currently... scared later drop after installing the newer version.... coz maybe it's juz compatible with vista, but not optimum and maybe that's why they didn't list it under the vista os?

yealor... not much settings...
wan set like overlay, can let other ppl watch movie on the tv and me continue doing my stuff.... but cannot.... can make two screens though, but a bit mafan.... kwws u get 3.6 is because of the hard disk u're using. i think it's a toshiba which has a slightly lower speed i guess. u get 4.3 for hard disk rite? if yes then i guess it's a toshiba..... the replacement unit i got is using toshiba hard disk and i got 3.6 for graphics also... but after swapping the hard disk with a hitachi that has 4.4, the graphics rating rose to 3.7....

QUOTE(NewbieBetta @ May 9 2007, 02:11 PM) weird..when i compare my xps lcd with my samsung lcd...when on white color display for both lcd panel I had compare them both..i notice the xps look alittle yellowish,while the samsung is real white..how come the xps look alittle yellowish? i guess you probably have a toshiba panel....something wrong ah? do you have the integrated webcam? look between the gap of it and the lcd, do you see some yellow light when the power is on? that's what i observed from the toshiba panel i got in the replacement unit. requested to swap the samsung screen from the old one to the replacement unit. coz feel a bit unhappy with it's slightly lower contrast (hardly noticable, but still, dont feel nice that the old one appear nicer) and also there's some irregular leakage over the upper right corner..... |

yeah...
mine too... the hdd blinks for 3-5 minutes every time when the system boots up. and when i use the reliability and performance monitor to check, it's svchost that is the culprit. still not sure of why that svchost stresses the hard disk so much every time during system bootup..... it's like reading all the dll files in the computer... try monitoring it by searching for "reliability and performance monitor" in ur vista.....

i dont like the speaker jack also.... i'm using Cooler Master NotePal, and having the jack in front makes it troublesome! but then they got no place to place it anymore. The side is already full and so is the back..... |

laihuhng... may i know ur specs please??
using nvidia geforce go 7400 or intel GMA 950? if it's nvidia then i think there's something wrong lor... there may be slight difference from units to units depending on things like ur hard disk, but you should get at least over 3.0... i've got a replacement unit and the replacement unit scored 3.3, which is 0.1 lower than the 3.4 scored on the old unit.... and the reason for this difference is because of the hard disk... the old one uses hitachi hard disk that has a slightly faster rate than the toshiba used in the new one..... i discovered that the keyboard for the replacement unit feels cheap too... it's like when you press it it's not so bouncy or sth... dunno how to describe..... this batch they use keyboard from other manufacturer i guess..... and i requested to swap the keyboard from my old unit... |

QUOTE(laihuhng @ May 23 2007, 10:58 AM) Hi dingding, Go to the performance there, click Update my score.Here is my spec... - Intel C2D T5500 - MS Vista 32bit - TrueLife display without webcam - 2G (2 x 1024MB) 667 Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM - 80GB SATA Hard Drive - Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Combination Drive with dual layer capabilities - 256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400 TurboCache <--- misleading, only 64MB The rest should be common items... The first time u boot up windows, it will first do a benchmark on your computer and give you the windows experience index. But as what i've experienced, that first benchmark isn't accurate one. Last time at first i also get a lower benchmark. After i click on Update my score, it will do the benchmark again and then the gaming graphics score got up higher to 3.4... So juz click 'Update my score' and your score should get up to 3.4 or at least 3.3 depending on your hard disk speed or other components. |

well, i guess most of the technicians dont really know all the systems. there are like so many types of model of laptops and they dun have like specific team to deal with certain models.....
everytime they open, they seem uncertain of the stuff. some are juz like trial and error.... some always forget to remove certain screws and then try pulling it out hard then oni realise..... =.=''..... |

if you wish to, juz ask for it. I think your request is quite reasonable after giving so much trouble and defacing to it.....
Added on May 26, 2007, 5:39 pmn for my case, dell said in view of the problems i faced, if i'm still unsatisfied, they can giv a full refund (mine is long over 14 days adee)..... so if you wish to get a refund i think you can too request for it....

regarding the electricity leakage problem, i suppose u guys are using extension plugs right? izzit sirim approved? previously my brother's latitude laptop had this problem too. Dell changed the power cord and mobo, and the problem persists, till another technician came, and suspected about the extension plug...... and the problem is solved.... try not using any extension cord n c.... that should fix it...
