    MB DELL GX270 replaced by MB GX280

    I try replace MB in my home PC.
    Oryginally i have DELL GX270 in tower case.
    I try install in this case GX280 small factor board .
    With hardware montage are'nt any problems , but i find some problems with power supply .
    GX280 boards with 3GHz CPU and 1 GB ram don't starts.
    This GX280 board work corect with my neighbours, 400W PSU .
    LED at the front panel very fast blink without pressing button ( about 10 Hz) in green colors.
    Oryginally i have DELL PS model HP-P2507FWP ( 250 W) , i check with another one the same PSU .
    This PSU work OK with GX270 , all bad cappacitors inside was replaced 2 years ago .
    Really GX280 need PSU with more power?
    Can i make some trick with my PSU for solving this problem?

      The GX270 and GX280 front panel connector is different. Probably something in there shorted. Try bench testing the board. The PSU shouldn't be a factor (unless its bad), a good one would run either one.

          I not agree with you ,Topcat, GX270 and GX280 front panel connector is the same or similar, because with this panel , with 400W PSU, this GX280 board starts.

              Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
              by Bowline
              My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

              Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

              My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
              The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
              I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

              Dell Pro 13 Plus PB13250 Bios Unlock
              by Akhlz001
              Hi,

              Could someone help trying to unlock this BIOS, seems that Dell have changed the layout of new Dell Pro 8FC8 bioses from checking HXD - 4000 bits do not need changing, only 2000. However after FF the section starting from '01000' upto 2000 bits and then soldering the chip back it seems that the microchip on the motherboard is recovering the bios back to original settings after first boot. Has anyone found a way to crack this extra layer of security Dell have implemented? Seems both HP and Dell have upped bios security to match Lenovo by implementing extra measures on a separate...

              Dell Inspiron 5590 Board 18778-1 no charging, charging not possible
              by master3112
              I would like to share my experience about charging issues with Dell power supplies with the tech community. I am working on a Dell Inspiron 5590, Mainboard 18778-1 with charging problems. The device can be switched on and works so far, only the message appears at startup:

              Alert! The AC power adapter wattage and Type cannot be determined. The battery may not change. The System will adjust the performace to match the power available.

              The power supply unit is not recognized in the Bios and the charging process is set to "idle". I use original Dell battery, type...

              Dell Precision 5530 15" died to blown chip. Replaced chip and now only get momentary fans, lights, no screen or boot
              by joesmoe91
              Hello,

              My Dell Precision 5530 turned off suddenly when I was running Matlab and wouldn't turn on, show any lights, fans, and/or any signs of activity at all. I opened the case, removed the battery and looked at the board with a thermal camera while the AC adapter was connected. I saw that PU1252 was >120C so figured the chip had died on me Got the part number off the attached schematic (see Mouser link below) and replaced the chip. After replacing the chip the board (connected to AC adapter) was able to briefly power on, spin the fans a little bit, and turn on the front led lights....

              If the laptop is only connected to the AC adapter (battery removed):

              When I press the power button, the keyboard backlight and the display backlight are turning on. Caps key light is lightning, but key does not respond to pressing it.

              The power/battery...
