Hey Guys.

I own a Dell Inspiron 1520 Sunshine Yellow.

So far so good.

Anyway, I have been trying to look for a suitable cooler for our laptop.

Anyone here tried hooking up the laptop with Zalman NC-1000?

Does it fit ?

Or any other recommendation?

Added on December 20, 2007, 10:28 pmThe same prop occurs on mine too while i play games.

I guess its because the GC or the Processor is overheated...

I guess my Cooler is not a big help

I met before too. It was due to some driver issue. Try uninstall all graphic driver and reinstall again.

mine is 8600 GT... it's fun... haha... i've posted some fps pictures here

anyway the laptop cover can we buy it from dell?cant seem to find it on their site though...

Thats the problem when we have a "hot babe" with us
By the way, the cooler wont help much as well, unless you are inside an aircond room, or else under a blasting fan.
Unless u can get a cooler with strong blasting fans, extremely strong blasting winds, if not our laptop is way too hot for the cool pad to give any much effect.
i suspect is overheating as well coz when at cool places she wont show that at all

I've just got my Inspiron 1520 this past Nov color Mocha Brown..So far its serving me well...thanks for the heads up on the bout the coating on the media buttons..In overall the Dell Inspiron 1520 is a good Notebook..i love it...

up till now i still can make sure is it my screen is a lil grainy or is it i'm having illusion or fear of it...

Strong blasting fan cant be achieved with a usb. Seem like i should consider a plug version of cooler

Well , after a week of using it , i have no problem with it , but still there is some flaws.

1) The heat problem : My game always crash after about an hour of game play

2)The earphone : Buzzing sound heard when i insert the earphone , I called Dell , and hopefully they will come on monday ( They say will replace the parts for me )

3) The screen: A bit of light leakage , not a big problem , but still....its a problem

4)Picture Quality : This is a question for all 1520 users , i watch DVD movies and DVD riped mkv files on it , and i find that, the edge of the picture is not sharp , i wonder you all encounter this problem? I called Dell already , if this is a problem , i can tell them to fix for me.

I test the same source on my PC , and it looks great ( Normal ) to me , but on the laptop , even the screen size is lots smaller ( My pc screen is 19" ) , the picture quality still sucks . I am confusing , what is causing his problem? Because when i use HD source , the quality seem fine to me....


PS: Honestly , i still dont know what is "grainy screen"..... is the 4th problem is " Grainy screen"?

look bulky?

Comparing to XPS , of course it is. Considering the price..... its not...HAHA

Earlier I have thought of buying Inspiron 1520, since the 1526 is coming out soon, i plan to wait for around 3 weeks more. Hope the 1526 will not has so many problems as stated here.

bad news for you, I heard that 1526 will not available in Malaysia when 1525 launch. believe coming in January.

i got some light leakage during black screens from below... me too couldn't really make sure if i hav grainy screens or not...

Hello! WHY NO ONE WANTS TO HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM :'(

(the problem was about the graphics driver last page)

i dun have any of the 4 problem by endless. but i just found out my dvdrom cannot open cd. but all other dvd can open. how come? only way to fix is to call dell?

if i call dell to fix my dvd rom , dell will take away my laptop for few days to fix or fix it in my house?

They'll send a technician to your place and change it on the spot, unless there's a rare occasion.

Have you updated your video driver?
