thought TecAsia is selling @ just RM1699 the other day? think saw it on the flyers.

upgrading in terms of? what graphic card are you on now? its impossible to upgrade from GMA950 to X1300 or X1400 as the it needs the motherboard to be replaced.

oh i see. well, you're on Intel GMA950. an integrated graphic card. so can't expect much from it. even you total up the RAM to 4GB you will still not able to play high requirements games as its not a dedicated graphic card like ATi X1400 etc. smile.gif

I think that's my biggest mistake i've done to my humble i6400
bought a DVD writer BUT i can't write DVD disc BUT still can write CD or watching DVD
should i change/return back my DVD writer to the seller?
the thing is, it's hassle to go to LowYat plaza again sweat.gif sweat.gif shakehead.gif

Planning of buying external DVD writer for the future OR may be external 2.5 HDD

haha typo, lol

ur right about the gma to x1400 or x1300, only x1300 can be swapped to x1400, since it has a pci-e slot, whereas the gma doesnt comes with it

well , very sorry for closing my thread 6 ... there are someone complaining me to s3ven that i m trying to confused the public about my roles in the thread and they assumed me that i m the official liaison to dell management . S3ven has received the order frm dell to informed me to removed all the logo and infomation , and i m forced to do so .

i m going to look for job in dell and therefore i afraid it will affect my career prospective. S3ven might have sent my email to dell for them to contact me , and the email S3ven will be sending is my own customer email which dell has a copy of mine when i do my purchases .i afraid it might affect me so i m gonna discontinue my effort here until i get a job there .

although it might be a bit frus to do so , but i think there is no point helping ppl here where they din appreciate my effort at all and wat they know is keep on complaining me .... cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

I found out that Dell is dishonest to their customer and not telling us that they are actually having Dell's 30-day worry-free return policy for longtime ago already .

pls keep on remind the forumers about the policy . U can return the whole system in 30days without getting any charges .

that's why they instruct to remove that. because you might give a wrong information to others that create confuse here.

30days are not applied in Malaysia. at malaysia only 14days. you don't satisfied? maybe you go to singapore order by sindollar then....

steventan85 did helping us a lots that many ppl can see. but when some of newbie or dell management ppl come here, they might get confuse. only us knew he is not officially. from his avatar info, "from: Dell" and the "DELL" logo avatar might are the root cause they claim/complaint to. I guess s7ven or admin have no choice, "DELL" logo are copy right, we cannot simple re-use. I guess MOD/Admin here sure always aware about this; maybe need to hightlight it again about he is non-officially to avoid any escalation.

Ok guys, I have been using my Inspiron 6400 for close to two years now.

It's starting to die on me. It's 2.0 GHz Core Duo 2MB L2 cache with 1GB DDR2 RAM.

However, the performance is seriously sub-par. It doesn't run as robustly as I first bought it. Even formatting the drive and reinstalling the OS doesn't work for me.

If I push the system, it would heat up, and when it does the CPU load hovers around 100% regardless of whether I stop my applications or not.

This sucks. I'm not alone on this. Even my friend has the same issue. He formatted, cleaned out the fan and still the performance issue persists.

If you're curious, no it's not spyware, no it's not viruses. I have Spybot S&D and NOD32 running.

You know what, the computer runs faster when NHC sets it to 1.00GHz because it's cooler.

Dell sucks.

well , very sorry for closing my thread 6 ... there are someone complaining me to s3ven that i m trying to confused the public about my roles in the thread and they assumed me that i m the official liaison to dell management . S3ven has received the order frm dell to informed me to removed all the logo and infomation , and i m forced to do so .

i m going to look for job in dell and therefore i afraid it will affect my career prospective. S3ven might have sent my email to dell for them to contact me , and the email S3ven will be sending is my own customer email which dell has a copy of mine when i do my purchases .i afraid it might affect me so i m gonna discontinue my effort here until i get a job there .

although it might be a bit frus to do so , but i think there is no point helping ppl here where they din appreciate my effort at all and wat they know is keep on complaining me .... cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

I found out that Dell is dishonest to their customer and not telling us that they are actually having Dell's 30-day worry-free return policy for longtime ago already .

pls keep on remind the forumers about the policy . U can return the whole system in 30days without getting any charges .

what! i didnt know that u edy close previous thread.

damn noob. who pandai2 report to se7en say steven from dell? very noob! noob! better go die. we demand public apology from noob! steven not yet working pandai2 say he work at dell. noob reported wrong person la. go other thread. i know some1 admit he work at dell.

i say this cos i personally know steven.

QUOTE(djlah @ May 3 2008, 04:17 PM)
that's why they instruct to remove that. because you might give a wrong information to others that create confuse here.
for example:

30days are not applied in Malaysia. at malaysia only 14days. you don't satisfied? maybe you go to singapore order by sindollar then....

on the other way around, sometime steven did give false information; cos he's not working at dell ma. sure smtime got wrong information. laugh.gif

QUOTE(KeV @ May 3 2008, 05:14 PM)
i totally feel u steven, i just think that some stupid users here are too dumb to figure that out. besides if dell doesn't want you, go to intel, work with the supplier, not the buyer, lol

QUOTE(teikwing @ May 3 2008, 05:52 PM)
since when did Steven confused us with his role? he knew he's not working for Dell or whatsoever. just a very big fan for Dell. so am i. whoever who's complaining to se7en got no idea what this thread is all about & Steven's position here. just ignore that fella, Steven. we always love you here. smile.gif
*
i seriusly wanna know who that noob and pandai2 report to se7en and everything. damn.

btw, i got 4 more dead pixel! yey! damn it. total now 5dp. havent call dell. now only left with normal warranty. maybe during holiday will ask them to fix my notebook. just that no more on site warranty. they will take it for 3 days minimum.

erh, at least 5dp can claim new screen right? or 7? if 7 i die la. sweat.gif

if u din tell them the issue, they might randomly send the technician to recerf and check the system before approve.
just to be honest, tell them the problem. they will still give you quotation for warranty extended.

Update on my laptop:

Dell has agreed to replace my LCD hinges, optical drive, heatsink and fan in response to slow loading and heat related issues.

This is amazing. I guess I will be a Dell customer for a long time if the issue resolves with replacement.

I will update this thread accordingly once they arrive on Friday.

I guess dell will not offer upgrade from their intel wireless to broadcom wireless for foc. as the broadcom card might cost higher than intel card.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the very late reporting in. I'm an owner of Inspiron 6400 since June 2006. thumbup.gif

So guys, there is no way to repair your Dell laptop other than to call them right? You must have guessed I never asked this before because there was no problem at all until now. Actually, there's still nothing wrong with my laptop, only from my own carelessness. So my respect to Dell for making very good and reliable laptops. rclxms.gif

Few days ago, my little kid put some coins into my DVD drive, and now it's dead. And few weeks earlier, I don't know how he did it, most of the keys on my keyboard fell off, and it just simply not working anymore (using temporary USB keyboard for now). sweat.gif

Before I call them, I wonder how much would it cost? Is buying a new warranty the only way? Thank you so much in advance! notworthy.gif

PS: I've upgraded my laptop RAM to 4GB myself. biggrin.gif

Nope, only 3GB effective memory. It's the limitation for the 32-bit architecture. But I got 2 pieces of 2GB for a good price, so I just use them anyway. biggrin.gif

It will not be void, just open it. There's no safety stickers there.

You just shouldn't remove anything with the safety sticker, that will void the warranty.

just wanna some my little nightmare with you guys. biggrin.gif

i accidentally poured half cup of water into my laptop few days back. the water sipped thru the keyboard area & went down till the optical drive & battery compartment. thought my lappie would be dead after that as it just wouldn't power on anymore. everytime i switches it on, it'll on for 2 seconds then power off itself again. guess it sense some water-causing short circuit & turn off itself as a safety measure. but good sign is the mobo is still alive as if the mobo is dead, power on wouldn't even be possible anymore.

i resort to dismantle all the parts out & let 'em dry. took out the HDD, DVD writer, keyboard, battery & let it dry under the fan for a night. wiped everything dry & even tighten the hinge myself. follow all the dismantling steps thru our given user manual. sweat.gif

was really afraid to dismantle it as afraid that might not be able to fix 'em back later on but guess i'm really desperate till it gave me the courage to do it. my hinge was replaced once when it's still under CompleteCover & watched how the Dell technician dismantle everything last time so i guess it helps to know which parts should be taken off first etc.

i took everything out @ around 11PM & went straight to bed after that & wokd up @ around 9AM to install the whole thing back. was praying really hard that it will still on itself & back to its original state. miraculously, my lappie is ALIVE! or i gotta fork out some cash to get a new 1520 or M1330.

glad that it worked after that. was kinda lucky didn't poured the whole cup of water or the water was actually milk or something sticky. or my 6400 wouldn't be still alive today. smile.gif

it's 2 years & 2 months old now & still going strong. rclxm9.gif laugh.gif

My Inspiron 6400 Harddisk just died. Was working halfway and blue screen came out.... then windows said that some file was corrupted. Tried reinstalling windows... failed.

Ran diagnostics... error and failures.

Ran detailed diagnostics... said hard disk was write protected or error or some crap.

Then the notebook failed to detect harddisk altogether.

Notebook is not 2 years 4 months old.

Under the above circumstances, is it possible to resurrect my hard disk and retrieve the data within or is it a gone case?

Geez... 2 Dell Laptops dying in my arms in the span of 2 weeks. WTF!!!

well you can try to take out the HDD and use a external case to access and repair from another computer.. perhaps can recover some bad sectors and allow you to do a backup.. looks like your HDD is going RIP soon..

Im using Inspiron 6400, overlooked when i purchased 2 years ago, bought it with on board graphic, currently upgrade ram to 2.5GB Ram, PROC 1.66ghz T2300.

Now my question is how to increase the on board graphic memory, currently i checked out in BIOS is only 8MB and guess that is making my junkie really slow.

Anyone can suggest on increasing the Onboard graphic cache as I tried from BIOS, i just cant find any solution....

Im using Inspiron 6400, overlooked when i purchased 2 years ago, bought it with on board graphic, currently upgrade ram to 2.5GB Ram, PROC 1.66ghz T2300.
Now my question is how to increase the on board graphic memory, currently i checked out in BIOS is only 8MB and guess that is making my junkie really slow.
Anyone can suggest on increasing the Onboard graphic cache as I tried from BIOS, i just cant find any solution....

I have installed 2 x 2GB Kingston PC5300 667Mhz ram recently.

I only get 3.25GB shown with Windows XP. I have seen people mention 3.5GB and 3.75GB. I wonder what makes those differences?

My processor is the T2500 Core Duo 2.0GHz 667Mhz Bus speed

Graphics card is 256MB Mobility Radeon X1400.

Hope to hear from you guys.

Thank you.

@madstone : get I8kfanGUI. google for it. smile.gif

I also dont know. It will reach 70+ even tho i'm using coolermaster coolingpad.
Is it because i'm using the old version of I8kfanGUI?
But sometimes, its ok around 50+

I'm waiting for the 2gb ram to drop to rm80+ then buy.
Got broke after buying the warranty. 1k T_T

was wandering if we could "tighten" the hinge own self? called up dell, said its "under wear and tear" so not covered under the warranty.
'cause its very loose now, its like "swaying" under the fan

and ah, what's the cheapest 2gb ram in lowyat shops eh? saw viewnet, kingston 2gb @ rm130. good price, you think?

Hey guys I'm new to this thread. I've had my 6400 for more 2 years already. I'm having the 3 years complete cover, but recently I'm thinking of upgrading (adding 1 or 2 sticks of RAM). I searched on dell's website, a stick of 1GB DDR2 costs 364RM inc delivery.
Have anyone tried upgrading through dell? Or shall I buy the ram outside (which I suppose would be much cheaper) and install myself? Is there a seal on the laptop's cover which would void the warranty if it's broken?

Isn't it a little waste to have 2x 2GB dual channel when windows xp can only detect it as 3.5GB? (correct me if i'm wrong, I heard of this from a friend).
I'm going to hantam 2 x 2Gb also. Sick of lagging in games.
Btw, my current ones are of 533mhz, can anyone confirm if 6400 can support 667mhz ddr2?

other common spare part like processor, ram and hard disk, I guess you can get it easily but such as unique part like motherboard not so easy... unless there is 2nd had used unit want to sell out... no retailer for mb except direct from dell. I suggest the best is request quotation from dell to extend the warranty 1yr to replace mb, which is more worth on that. else think of new system la... call 1800881306

okie bro but one more thing abt the both BT module..

where does the BT card located for 640m? is it next to the battery like 6400?

Do you know what are the difference between the both? what i know is that BT 350 is the older version and the BT 355 is the never one!!

The BT for 350 is 7 metre and BT range for 355 is approximately 10 metre...do correct me if i'm wrong! smile.gif

hi hi... am owner of dell i6400 for 1 1/2 year already ^^ glad this thread is still alive...

just last week i fail to boot.. press power button and light came on.. dvd drive kicks in and then everything offs... lcd screen would remain black the whole time... not even backlight.. was freaking out and it was like that for around 5 hours... tried google up solutions with my desktop but all no use sad.gif

then.. tongue.gif i press the keyboard area down hard hard.. around JKL... video card area.. and the next press of power button sent it to life~! weeeee... must have been something loose when i transfered my notebook back to seremban sleep.gif"

was reading through all the post in this thread cos too free... and for those reporting high temperatures.. i think it is normal IF you are running on x1400 icon_rolleyes.gif haha... my is like mini heater when playing 3d games... tongue.gif

anyone using any updated/alternative sound card drivers? my driver is still SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC 6.10.0.5609 dated 07/sep/2007

for those who wants extra juice from their notebook graphic card (x1400) u may want to try the Mobility Modder which modifies the latest ATI drivers for use on notebooks. Note that this is totally at your own risk. i have been using it on my x1400 since purchase and can totally play games like Bioshock, Stalker etc with acceptably good performance.

Bioshock was the game which prompted me to do this.. tongue.gif was having choopy unplayable framerate and dell wasn't updating the drivers... and to make it worst.. it was discontinued 3 months after my purchase sleep.gif" so WTF.. doh.gif and after moding the latest driver from ATI website it was all good.. no more choppy frames.. ^^

Hi guys, this thread's been too quiet for too long. So I figure, why not post something?
My laptop is around 2 years old already, still going strong. I'm a heavy user, everyday the laptop operates around 5 - 11hours, twice a week I play some games on it.
This laptop brought me through some of the oldest games up to the latest ones for the past 2 years:

Medal Of Honor Allied Assault;
Call Of Duty 1,2,4: Modern Warfare, 5: World at War;
Half Life 2, Half Life 2 Episode 1 & 2;
Counter Strike: Source;
Far Cry, Far Cry 2;
Doom 2 Demo, Doom 3, Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil;
FEAR, FEAR Extraction Point, FEAR Perseus Mandate;
Gears of War;
Midnight Club 2;
TOCA Rae Driver 3;
Race Driver: GRID Demo;
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2, Underground, Underground 2, Most Wanted, Carbon, ProStreet Demo, Undercover;
Max Payne 2;
Pariah;
Prey Demo;
BioShock;
Homeworld 2;
Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo, UT 2004 Demo, UT 3 Demo;
Quake 3 Arena;
Serious Sam 1 & 2;
Track Mania Sunrise Demo, TM Nations Demo;
Timeshift Demo;
STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl;
BMW M3 Challenge;
Crysis;
Colin McRae Rally 3, Colin McRae 04;
HALO Combat Evolved Demo;
Juiced Demo;
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition.

I didn't finish all the games though - some of them either can't run smoothly or the game simply sucks.
Games aside, this laptop can crunch through serious work such as photo editing, sound mixing, word assignments without fail.
It fares well with other entertainment stuff such as HD movie viewing (mostly 720p) and music listening, though I have to get myself SRS Audio Sandbox to compensate for Sigmatel's lack of clarity and bass reproduction.
I do have a few mishaps: Spyware attack! Have to try out some many (4 to 5 of them) before I could weed out that pest; a hardware failure forces me to call a Dell technician to have the mobo replaced.
All in all, this is a great notebook, looking forward for more rock solid computing years. thumbup.gif Less and less of gaming. cry.gif

I don't know what's wrong with your AC adapter, it is probably faulty; what most of us will do is to call Dell Technical Support Toll Free number @ 1800-881-306 and if your system is still under warranty Dell will replace the parts for you.
This thread is inactive for quite a while, unlike its heydays. You can PM some of the gurus here, for example: madstone, teikwing, death_nite, calvin_gsc, sotong168 just to name a few. Not sure whether they're still using the Inspiron 6400 though, you want assurance then contact/PM them, I might have gotten my facts wrong sometimes. tongue.gif

I see, well you can't 'repair' a notebook battery, maybe the AC adapter; you can replace the battery with a new one though.

Same here. I used the laptop to game quite a lot (mostly CoD, RA3 and some other games), though a dead bug IN the LCD kind of killed the mood for me. I don't think it is worth it to get a replacement LCD, it is already 2 1/2 years down the road.

Yes you can.
I have upgraded the RAMs and HDDs before on Dell laptops and its not hard at all.
Just make sure your parts are compatible to the system.

Its normal thing. The brighter the screen the more power it consumes.
If previously it can last longer, means that your battery lifespan is wearing off.

Hi
is this thread still active?
i have a problem!!
i tried installing a 2GB Kingston DDR2 RAM today, replacing the 512MB stick on DIMM A, but during the boot after installing there appears a list of errors, then the system reduces the amount of RAM that is available from 3GB to 1GB. Afterwards, it wouldn't even show the POST screen. Everything goes blank, and the numlock LED stays lit, while CAPS LOCK and SCROLL LOCK LED blinks, about 40+ times then it automatically shuts down. Now my laptop only works with 1 RAM inserted into DIMM B, if i insert any RAM into DIMM A it will not boot at all..
Please help!

So my inspiron 6400 screen is dead-ish. It boots up and shows the Dell logo and then goes dark. It works just fine otherwise: I'm on it right now hooked up to an external monitor. Any idea if it's fixable?

Hello, fellow forumers & 6400 users. It's been a while since I visited this thread. The last time was probably when it was still V5. tongue.gif

Bought my 6400 in Dec. 2006. Intel C2D T7200 (2GHz, 667MHz FSB, 4MB L2), 1GB (2 x 512MB) RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, WinXP.

I have some questions.
1) What's the difference between models 6400 & i6400? huh.gif
2) When was the 6400 released? Curious to know who's 6400 lasts the longest & to have an idea how long a 6400 can last.
3) What are the non-physical tell-tale signs that the 6400 is getting old?
4) What's the max. RAM memory that WinXP (32-bit) utilize?
5) Is there a limit to the RAM memory that can be upgraded? Plan to upgrade mine to 4GB for additional performance since I can't upgrade the processor. Hope my 6400 can last til' Win7. notworthy.gif
6) Will there be any performance benefit if I get RAM memory of 800MHz (clk. speed) or more?
7) What's the difference between SO-DIMM & normal DIMM RAMs? Can I insert SO-DIMM RAMs in the 6400?

Thx. happy.gif

i emailed Dell,

according to them
we can upgrade the X1400 to GeforceGo7900/7950 .

but they don't have stock, have to order from their US HQ.
If order through Dell-Malaysia, it'll cost a BOMB!!!

haha right now i'm thinking of a way to source for the graphic card!

Hi. How do we disable the 6400 "turn off monitor after <time>" function, i.e. keep the monitor always on? Tried setting it to "Never" in the Power Properties but didn't work. Monitor still goes off after about 5 min.s.

Thx.

I'm just curious... what are the normal temperatures for you guys' 6400s.

My CPU is about 58-60, memory is normally at 62, graphic card (x1400) is about 60 as well.. is that too hot? I'm having this freezing problem whenever I multi-task. Ie. I cannot open mozilla if I'm using talking over the skype (even when the webcam is not on). It'll cause my whole system to freeze, the mouse pointer could barely move, I'll have to power off to restart my computer. I was suspecting the temperature.. feel really irritated, do you guys think Dell would provide any help? I'm into the final 3 months of my complete cover..

Anyone here has the same problem?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Even though it can show 4GB ram, it only utilises up to 3GB.

Any of the 6400 club members changed their notebooks since then? I wonder if most of you still stick to 15.4" book.

If you can contact DELL, try ask them to fix it for you
or may be can ask any shop to fix it for you

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 6400

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...

Most of Vista drivers can be used on Win7. Mine is working so far after upgrading to Win7 from Vista...... but not too sure about the X1400, read in some forum got driver problem...... Hopefully it is solved by now.....


Glad to see this forum still alive and kicking biggrin.gif

Hey guys, I am planning to upgrade my Processor soon so that I can install the 64bit Win7. My current Proc is the T2300E..... any recommendations???

For the age of 6400,it's not ideal to upgrade for a new CPU,you could just go with the 32bit copy

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.

Go search for 3rd party adapter,maybe around RM100 smile.gif

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.
*

I think yes,but they will just run underclocked.

Because he's one is Core i7, his ram need to run at 1333MHz (higher latency) while your RAM only run at 1066MHz (lower latency)

Based on the CPU, chipset..

Because desktop Core i3/i5 is different from the mobile, they support 1333MHz, so no downclock.

mobo cost around 160-190 (depend) labour charge around 100 so this is market price. i think ok. u using what lappy already? if u willing pay 2-3k then just go for new lappy. but this lappy can be save also as backup.

Just dropping by coz my Dell Inspiron 6400 (DOB 2006) has died (DOD Jan 2013) due to hard disk failure; and the notebook front lid at bottom right hinge has split since some years ago (seems like many users here experienced it as well); LCD is still fine though. Battery died within 2 years and was not replaced... I think I had a lemon battery.
