my 6400 Dell battery.. after 1 year using it(using it as in not plugged in when using wall socket 95% of the time) suddenly just died, cannot charge guess its a common problem

btw, what are the best drivers for the 6400's mobility x1400? currently using an old version of omegadrivers

Hey guys.. I'm just wondering, are you guys able to read SDHC using your Inspiron 6400's card reader? SDHC as in SD cards of 4GB and above..

My system is the first generation core duo Inspiron, running T2300 Intel Core Duo processor.. Apparently the reader will not read cards of 4GB and above.. even when i'm using Windows 7.. any suggestions on how to fix this? or this cannot be fixed? =S

DELL did call for returning all batteries of previous model BUT i don't know for which model
IF i'm not mistaken, the model after 6400.
I never change the drivers, used the original 1 from the beginning
You might try other international forum OR if you got lot of times, try digging old thread of 6400I used 4GB SD cards from my Samsung camera
just slot it in the slot below the speaker's hole& VOILA!

speaker hole? are you referring to Inspiron 6400 aka E1505?

Anyone know how much does the power adapter cost?

My power adapter is dying.. cant charge the battery but my battery is still ok.
I have tested with my friend's adapter. Using his, can charge battery.

Speaker slot maaa, lubang cucuk headphone tu laaa kan ada slot utk SD CardGo to DELL website & ask them

I got ask.
I email my previous SA last week. It seems she got promoted. She say she dont work for sales now, ask me to email the sales.
I also already email them. No reply till now

Why don't you call DELL Technical Support?
1800-88-1306
do you know how to use your browser bro?
just go to Dell.com.my, click on Contact Us on the top right of the web

not sure about that but i use the latest driver that support mobility x1400 catalyst 9.3 (the last one before they drop the support for non HD series). it works great.

Guys,
If i want to change the HDD, what is the precaution, pro & cons i should taken care of?

Succeed on changing the new HDD
took almost 1 hour to settle everything

thanks God

I wonder if my sys. (C2D T7200, 667MHz FSB) can support 800MHz RAMs & gaming RAMs, knowing that the RAM would definitely run on 667MHz clock speed. Since the price of 800MHz RAMs are about the same, if not cheaper than 667MHz RAMs, I hope I would not regret getting the 800MHz ones.

Any 6400 users tried this before?

Also considering dual-channelling 2 x 1GB.

Mine the right side hinge shell(casing) broke after 1 year, notebook still 100% working, no problem with screen just see the plastic not fitted properly.

This laptop still kicking after so many years, 5+ i think. Means cannot get approval to upgrade...
