Hey, guys.. what is your battery wear level??
Mine now is already 14% for the DELL TM9788 6-cell...
But my uptime is only 71days, down time 33days
and longest uptime 8days...

Should i go to dell centre to check?? Or izit mine normal???
i use EVEREST Ultimate Edition to check those thing..

my internal hdd quite ok. so far so good. lol.

elwwmatrix, nice to hear that helped u.

hihihehe, straight update i think quite buggy now. not recommend straight update.better do clean fresh install.

my batt juz very less using. maybe less den 5 times since i bought the lappy. all the time keep in the notebook bag lor. so not sure the wear level....

ram for me 2gb quite sufficient. not sure about the quality of the ram. maybe should ops for branded brand only? lol

ya
at the mean time i also worried upg ultimate will eat more resources than fresh install

Hey guys,

I have a question here:

If you are buying a notebook cooler for Inspiron models,

the headphone / audio-in jack is in the front, will it be in the way? i.e. blocked when you place the laptop on it?

i think it will if u choose tht notebook cooler..but my ins1520 audio jack is at side so not a issue for me
just block the speaker and mayb multimedia keys

so I need to buy a flat one?

is better to buy a flat 1..try zalman cooling pad

alright thanks.

i not so mind about colling pad. juz use a cheap cheap rm22 product. lol

Me till now still dun sure whether those cooling pad is useful or not Last time I've got a VIZO NINJA cooler which has full aluminium body and 2 fans, after using it for a few days, seems like not much difference...then refund it back...

Now I just tilt the laptop higher so that there is more space between the bottom part of the laptop and the table, and also more air flow.

But then recently, my laptop experience sudden blue screen and restart automatically....once in a week like that.....suspecting overheating.....

overheating means laptop will have a shorter life span?

my hdd is very quite de. Laptop bought in Nov 07.

ya. overheating will cause shorter lifespan. that is comfirm. especially electronic item.

got 1 thread outside with alienware laptop..feel like wan throw away this laptop n get alienware

lol what i planning to do is go to US n study and get 1 alienware

lol
but not throw away so serious lar..as my work will use this
for gaming and home use of course alienware!!

anyone experience their inspiron 1520 crashes alot n really slow shutdown?? ...thinkin of reformattin it liao..

crashed not for me. mayb trojan spyware? do u check with antivirus using safe mode?

most probably got virus

btw i got no more hardware to upgrade after upgrade my ram to 4gb...

any idea???hmm

Do experiment,Change GC ,change processor XD

ya..about the ram...ah if 32bit use 4 gb...the system will use 3gb only or use all 4gb but they nv show only?
