Re: Rd's latest Latitude
Noted.
I think my dad will be getting this laptop for his use since he could really use the higher resolution. Not to mention that the D400 has some sentamental value, that being a few decals that I put on the lid...
Now what to do with this extra 160gb SATA HDD I have from the dead netbook... suggestions?sigpic

Re: Rd's latest Latitude
Put it in a desktop computer until you find better use for it??? I did that with one laptop HDD. Works fine and is very quiet.Originally posted by ratdude747Comment

Re: Rd's latest Latitude
Meh...
Bloated software and websites these days make just about any computer much slower than it should be. So I don't think you'll notice that much of a difference really. And if not, it should still be fine as a secondary storage drive for less important/accessed stuff.
Use what you have when you have it, otherwise it will just sit somewhere and collect dust, get old, and not be worth much after a while (unless it's a rare item that has the potential as a collectible).Comment

Re: Rd's latest Latitude
The other issue is mounting it...
anyway, there has been another issue... the trackpoint's left button is dead. Not that it gets used much, but it is annoying. It feels like it is just worn out since there is an unusually low amount of button feedback when pressed... Damn.
edit- the button works if you really push it... maybe more dirty contacts?sigpic

Re: Rd's latest Latitude
Either that or maybe the button just needs to be re-soldered.Comment

Re: Rd's latest Latitude
I would say the 640MB ram is holding you back the most. 2 slots so im guessing it has a 512MB and a 128MB stick in it now. I would go to at least 1GB for that machine.Comment

Re: Rd's latest Latitude
It is.
2gb would be optimal... 1gb would be a good start though... We'll see

I opened it up again and removed the palmrest to get to the bad button (its not part of the keyboard after all). Once again, the contacts were kinda dirty... a little help from a clean pencil eraser fixed that. While I was there I removed the main HS and swapped the black crap/foil thermal pad for some fresh thermal compound. However, one of the threaded inserts was busted from it's tower so I am having to let some super glue cure before I can put it back together.sigpic

Re: Rd's latest Latitude
I just got it back together... Still not 100% perfect, but much improved and satisfactory.sigpic

Re: Rd's latest Latitude
It's usually a failure of the plastic parts. The Latitudes aren't too bad for this, but the Inspirons are horrendous. My wife's 1525 (I told her to pay the a bit more for a Latitude but nooooo) had the palmrest replaced 3 times under warranty, and it failed again just recently. I finally muttered I told you so also replaced it with a D830 with a SSD and 4GB RAM. She's happy for now, 'cept there's no built in webcam or card reader.
36 Monitors, 3 TVs, 4 Laptops, 1 motherboard, 1 Printer, 1 iMac, 2 hard drive docks and one IP Phone repaired so far....Comment

Re: Rd's latest Latitude
As I used the button it seemed to break in... I'm calling the repair a success.sigpic

Dell Latitude D800 Laptop Schematic
LA-1901...10-08-2024, 11:58 AM -
I have a Dell Latitude 5530 with a damaged RJ45 network connector. See the attached pictures.
Have already searched on Farnell / Aliexpress / Ebay and had contact with several suppliers on Aliexpress and Ebay, but they cannot deliver this connector.
Is there someone inside the EU, who has these connector(s) or perhaps defective motherboard(s) for these laptop models I have mentioned in the topic title.
