Yup, that's what happening to my 1520 too. Basically you'll just hear the clicking sound of the hard disk randomly. At first, I thought the hard disk is having problem because my fren's TOSHIBA laptop hard disk doesnt produce this kind of sound.

I've complained to DELL about the clicking sound (my first hard disk was SEAGATE) . DELL then replaced one for me (it was a HITACHI), however the clicking sound persists.

But my bro's 1420 TOSHIBA hard disk is not producing any clicking sound . That makes me wondering maybe it is just the 1520 which have this problem.

So, I think it is caused by the laptop sound proofing gua...guess only.
That's the kind of quality you get from such a low price laptop....

my 1520 doesnt have this kind of sound too

have a problem... haw can i remove the annoying sound when i put the headset on>>>>

never encounter this problem before.....ur headset is from dell?

my headset are creative. have anyone encounter this kind of problem. if got how you fix it

smilie

could be due to current interference, still remember last time my speaker (philips aurilium pairs with altec lansing) got mild buzz noise on my 6400, later i requested 3-prong adapter (with earth), the problem resolved.

do you guys buy a cooling pad for ur laptop?

Not at all. Ha! Ha!

With this model I don't see the need. It's not that hot

You also on Inspiron 1520?

Yes ... just a normal user. Not as hardcore as you guys.

mind to share what is the temperature at idle & full-load? thks~

i never ever check the temperature also but i know the air vent there very hot

idle processor about 48, graphic card 52, hdd 37
full load procesor about 56, graphic card 60, hdd 43

what program you use to monitor it?

thks, what is your proc & gc?

try I8kfanGUI

hi all 1520 user.. i got a few question..

should i change my laptop to Dell 1520?

my targetted 1520 spec:
- Intel Core2Duo Proccessor T7300 (2.0 GHz, 4MB Cache, 800 MHz FSB)
- 15.4" WXGA (1280x800) Display with TrueLife
- 2GB 667mhz DDR2 SDRAM
- 160GB HDD (forgot is 7200 or not liao)
- DVD Writer
- Nvidia 8400 with 128MB
- BLuetooth inside
- built in webcam

compared to my current spec in my siggy.. i feel the good part is improve in processor, GraphicCard n HD capacity.. but the bad part is the LCD from WUXGA to WXGA..

i m not good in technical spec.. pls advise me on the comparison side by side with my current Dell Precision M65 thanks!

EDITED: yea.. and wat is santa rosa?

frankly speaking, i hardly see any point u want to chg ur laptop. what is ur main purpose? if for gaming, might as well keep ur current one and go for desktop (tat's what i do)
