Anyone know how to get this sucker open? I've got all visible screws (including under rubber foot) and the level control pot nut removed. Apparently I need to remove the front grill but it won't budge. Do I just have to get brutal with it? I'm not having luck Googling for it.

Re: Zylux (Dell) A425 subwoofer disassembly
Can you remove the back panel and see inside ? I'm wondering if there are clips that need to be released to remove the front ?
Just found this video. The sub looks the same. It doesn't show the front being removed just the securing points after the front has come off.
Mute the sound if you are offended by swearing lol

Re: Zylux (Dell) A425 subwoofer disassembly
Mystery solved. Thanks for the vid but it didn't help.
I had to get medieval on its buttocks with a flat-head and a rubber mallet but I got it off. Plastic posts into particle-board baffle with silicone glue on the ends of a couple of them. The control pot wiring is also silicone glued thru a hole in the baffle. Gotta clear that and disconnect the speaker, which are what's keeping the rest of the guts from exiting thru the back panel. They used spade connectors on the speaker but soldered the negative spade on. Why use the spades if you're gonna solder the thing on anyway? Some people's children...

Re: Zylux (Dell) A425 subwoofer disassembly
It was made in a capitalist version of a prison-like workplace in a communist country.
I was wrong about the glue though, it's hot glue, not silicone.Last edited by SteveNielsen; 08-06-2014, 04:22 PM.Comment

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... -
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... -
Hello all,
this is my first post, so if I make mistakes please do not hesitate to point them out, thank you in advance.
I got a Dell Latitude 5420 (Service Tag: 7RFM6D3, Motherboard: GDF40 LA-491P Rev.: 2.0 (A01)) which does not start and I want to repair it. These are the symptoms:
If the laptop is only connected to the AC adapter (battery removed):

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.

Hello!
I have a problem with a Dell G5 SE 5505 laptop that I hope someone can give me a few pointers on.
[OK, it's not really a laptop, I'm running the motherboard on my desktop with only cooling, RAM and an M2 drive attached.]
I had some performance issues, so I decided to update my BIOS from 1.7.0 to the latest version, 1.20.0.
The computer restarted and the update dit not want to continue without a battery connected, even though I used dell's method of bypassing this requirement.
I tried updating to a custom BIOS from Reddit user Satori_Nori https://www...
