QUOTE(da3shou3 @ Jun 25 2008, 07:49 PM) It's a well known problem for M1330 series only. Recently my graphics card has some problems.. as it was soldered into the motherboard..Good thing it was under warranty at that time. it was replaced also FOC.  Now my warranty is coming to an end. I called up Dell to extend the waranty.. to my horror the warranty for one year is RM 1200!!.. It's very very expensive! |

QUOTE(yongkailoon @ Jun 26 2008, 04:51 PM) I would like to know how is your usage on the M1330 ? Do you usually stress the graphic card like playing some graphic intensive games or maybe 3D rendering and so on ? i only using it for normal office applications ie excel and access.. occasionaly photoshop... rarely any movie.. ... maybe a couple during the last year.. I am not renewing the warranty cos it's too expensive... next time I would really go for the three year one. |

QUOTE(djlah @ Jul 4 2008, 12:30 PM) hey all XPS M1330 user: mine disappeared after MB transplant... but installed the latest BIOS after that and the new driver just in case it happens again.if encounter multiple vertical lines issue happen, can try update latest BIOS too. A11 few bug fix related with video, as the video card are integrated on motherboard. http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/1330_A11.EXE |
