I click START >Shutdown and have to wait and wait forever (3-5minutes) for the final prompt to either restart/shutdown/log off.Its is real annoying. I am using a 2007(bios) Latitude Dell 520 laptop (purchased second hand).

I have an Inspiron 7520 that originally came without a msata card. I've changed the daugtherboard and installed a 128Gb Crucial mSata Card. My idea is to use the msata as an individual Unit with SO and common applications and the Original 750gb HDD for the rest of the data (Not an Hybrid disk).

I need to flash the firmware on a DRAC4 card inside a PowerEdge860. The current firmware, (1.51 build 08.23), isn't friendly with Java7 running on server2008. I'm using a file called 'firmimg.dm1" that was reccomended to me via a tech person on Dell Chat.

Hi, I had to replace the screen on my Inspiron N7010 after the LCD randomly died. Replacing the screen was easier than expected, but the front bezel (34YFF) isn't reattaching -- when one portion of the piece pops securely in, another piece pops out like a game of whack a mole.

More than ever, IT organizations and the people they serve are experiencing disruption and change at an accelerating pace. IT decision making is being shaped by the forces of BYOD, personal cloud services and a Millennial generation with new ideas about where, when and how work is done.

I have installed Linux on my machine and was observing the battery status. In the fields "Energy when full" it is showing as 65W, while the design energy is 69W. What is worrying me is, this number is reducing rapidly! (2 days back, it was 65.8W)

I have a 2 page document that won't go away. Every time I try to print something, this document prints. I have been unable to delete it from the queue and am unable to print whatever document I actu ally want. The printer stops printing after it puts out 4 pages of old stuff. Help!

We have Dell 1610HD that is exhibiting what I call missing pixels, there are many white squares all over the display screen (like hundreds). I fear this has to do with the DLP chip, however, wanted to know if anyone else has seen this problem. Thanks!

What model drive did you install? Since it's EIDE, it requires the attachment of the blade connector from the original drive in order to connect it to the system board.

My xps 14z is just a few weeks out of warranty and I need a replacement screen - unfortunately it will take 6 weeks for Dell to get me a new one. Is there any chance of getting a refurbished screen faster??

When we purchased my wife's Vosto 260 computer, we took her previous computer's HD (C:) and installed it as the secondary (F:) drive to have as her data source. That F: drive still has the Windows operating system and previous Program Files and the data files.

As i say in the past I don't like gaming with a card that overheats! I don't enjoy gaming with a Jet Engine sound coming from the PCI fan, never got use to it, it has always freaked me out! Can this MOD be use in as Home theater on my living room?
