QUOTE(synn @ Aug 13 2007, 04:15 PM) bro i think the better solution is use nlite to add sata driver into the xp installation file and create a new XP install CD... coz ATA not as good as the original defaul setting.... i think better we do 1 time correct then no more worry after this... coz install with ATA setting will occur many problem... (correct me if i'm wrong) Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try later Have to format and reinstall again  Or is there any way to do it without formatting again? |

QUOTE(WildChai @ Aug 9 2007, 01:57 PM) Usually laptops have switches built in them to detect if the lid is open or closed...in order to conserve power. Even the power option in the control panel doesn't help...because it cannot detect if the lid is closed or open. Apparently this new inspiron models doesn't have them built in. All i can do is set timer to a lower limit and let it turn off the screen after a minute or so. What a pain. Are you sure? My 1520, I've set it to hibernate when lid is closed and it does exactly that when close the lid. I think you did not enable "Hibernate" or "Standby" option in the Power Settings. |

Yeah, that's exactly happen to my 1520 with Windows XP, it either shows i) Do nothing ii) Standby when you close the lid of the laptop. This is quite frustrating cuz the monitor is still left on even though i just want to listen to music from the laptop. Can anyone solve this???  |

tslim2531, your LCD problem looks serious. Send those pictures to Dell Tech Support and ask them if it's normal.
