    Dell 2408WFP seems to be on holyday ...

    Hello Guys,

    I need some assistance/knowledge from you with my Dell 2408WFP if possible:
    Everytime as soon as I put current on, the power led will lit green already (no need to push it) and that is already all what will happen, screen still stays dark. I even can't put it off anymore (even the power button is still clicking).

    I hope anyone already knows what went wrong with it ? If not, then I have to dig deeper i guess ....

    Thanks for your effort in advance already.
    Greetings Archie.

        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 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...

        by F R 2568
        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):

        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...

        Looking for Dell Latitude 5520 / 5530 / 5540 RJ45 network connector replacement
        by diamon
        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.

        Dell G5 SE 5505 - "Invalid memory installed" after BIOS update.
        by lalle-
        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...
