Top 20 Dell Inspiron 6400 Notebook Questions & Answers

Go on ebay and buy a new inverter for less than $10. Go on youtube to see how to replace the dell inspiron 1526 lcd inverter or the dell inspiron 1526 lcd screen. I put the lcd screen on because sometimes the problem might be your screen. If things don't work after installing the new inverter board, then buy a new lcd screen off ebay. The inverter board and screen are easy to install. Just go on youtube.com to find a video that walks you through it. The inverter sits at the bottom of the lcd screen. Some are screwed on, some are welded onto the screen, some are held by a small piece of tape. Even if you have to pry the old one off, just put the new on on held by a small piece of tape. 10results for Dell Inspiron 1526 inverter board

2005 relic PC day. XP the virus magnet slow doing what? , guess ALL. all do that , with HDD for sure , HDD slows with age, is a fact. all old PCs are slow compared to new PC so buy newer better PC reliable /safe only happens in hands of pro, why want that ? and ask here we can';t turn the screw driver and not wreck FFC cables.! if ram is too small buy more ram, none told what compression?, that is not good, never compress the hdd. wow ! no OS told we can not guess OS, windows what? causes of slow, all. (besides scrap it) no order.

• HDD is bad failing smart tests. (and will die soon) 10 years old hdd are mostly all bad now, you are the LUCKY ONE.
• HDD is full , clean out files, not needed, like downloaded endless videos for sure.
• put in SSD boot drive, and reload the OS to it. or clone HDD.
• more Ram ? 2GB is max on this Pig gaming.etc. OOPS fail.
• remove not used APPS for sure in the startup folder,for sure.
• in task manager, make sure ram is not full and CPU not overloaded to 100% if yes this must be cured.
• I bet RAM is fiull, 2GB is tiny. easy to fill up , the CPU is slow a Duo processor, Intel Core Solo processor!
• do not clone any bad HDD that fails smart tests.
• this XP PC the last one on earth running and is infected as all are and infections make PC run slower or worse, there is always worse here,(topic)
• it ran for 10 years, be happy, buy i3 and up based PC. win

if you can, open the flap from base panel and re-seat the RAM modules. it should fix it.

Hi, This is in regards to recovering the Dell Inspiron computer. Please let me know the reason why you are trying to recover the same. Are there any issues with the computer? I can then check and suggest what can be done. Thanks and Regards. Kiran Kumar. #iworkfordell.

You may need to "wipe" or reformat your entire C drive to be able to install Windows program again. I would suggest installing WIN7 program as WIN XP is at its end of life cycle for that operating system and Microsoft may not support it any longer. If possible try installing WIN7 once again, and if requested to reformat or do an entire install, choose YES. WIN 7 should then reformat your C drive, erase everything that is on it and then install as WIN7 program. Be sure you have your program license key to install WIN7.

The best bet is to use an external USB Sound adapter as the internal sound system is part of the main board on the computer. You cannot replace the sound card inside a laptop.

Check your cables the system recognizes the projector. Usually color problems are caused by faulty cables.

i found this very good guide: 1. If your operating system is XP, CTRL and F11 key simultaneously when you see the dell logo after turning on the Laptop and follow the screen instructions. * Power the computer on. * When the Dell screen appears press and hold the CTRL and F11 key simultaneously on the keyboard, then release them both at the same time. The Dell PC Restore by Symantec window appears. * Click the Restore button or press the key to highlight Restore and press the key. A caution message appears advising that all data will be lost. * Click the Confirm button or press the key to highlight Confirm and press the key. The Progress window appears. Once the process is begun, Dell PC Restore usually takes only 8 to 10 minutes to complete. When the restore is complete, the message The system recovery process was successful appears. * Click the Finish button or press the key to highlight Finish and press the key. The computer will restart. 2. If your operating system is VISTA / Win 7, tap F8 key when you see the dell logo. It will take you to advanced boot menu options under which you will see Repair your Computer, Select that option and enter your password if it asked, then you will be seeing list of options like system restore, command promt, etc., In that the last option says Dell PC restore or some thing like that. Select that option and follow the screens .. Thats it. * Start the computer. * As the computer starts, press the F8 key until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen. * Press the (Down Arrow) to select Repair Your Computer on the Advanced Boot Options menu, and then press Enter. * Specify the language settings that you want, and then click Next. * Log in as a user who has administrative credentials, and then click OK. * Click Dell Factory Image Restore. * In the Dell Factory Image Restore window, click Next. * Click to select the check box for Yes, reformat hard drive and restore system software to factory condition. * Click Next. The computer is restored to the default factory configuration. * When the restore operation is completed, click Finish to restart the computer. 3. If in both case, the Factory default didn't work, then your laptop's factory image defaults partition have vanished (i.e. Corrupted / Deleted). So you have to do Operating System re installation with the Operating System CD / DVD shipped along with laptop. Follow the below link to install windows XP Pro on your own.

The most probable, as far as I know, the hard drive is dying. Please test the laptop with a healthy (or brand new) hard drive.

You got the wrong driver/program/version to communicate between computer and OBD device, most cases its wrong software for the vehicle-type, for instance some programmes cant read trucks/lorrys if you got a programme for cars or vice versa.
