    Dell 2007FPb intermittently turning off

    Hi all,

    I have a Dell 2007FPb that over the past several months intermittently turns off. It will turn on again immediately and last for a few seconds to a few hours before switching off again.

    What does that sound like? Perhaps a voltage droop? I haven't pulled it apart yet as the monitor keeps working (mostly)!

      Could be caps starting to go bad, usually on the power supply board or inverter board. But really, it could be a lot of things. Checking/replacing the caps is probably a good place to start though (if you're inclined to open it up and spend time working on it).

          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...

          [Troubleshooting] Dell T7610, computer won't post after turning on memory mapped IO >
          by elzorroazul777
          I have a Dell Precision T7610, 2 Xeon 2650 v2, 128Gb of ram, MB NK70N. Bought off of ebay in December and shipped with 1 processor and 64 gb of ram. I recently filled the other side of the board with processor #2 and 64 more Gb of ram. There are two gpu's, Nvidia K420 for video and Nvidia P40 for accelerated graphics. I have shelled out my entire budget on electronics tools and building this ‘homelab' computer. I do not have the money to buy another motherboard at this time, otherwise I would!

          The motherboard that shipped with the computer needed replacement as socket #2 wasn't...

          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 2007FPB compatible boards
          by ckom26
          Hello, folks.
          Please, forgive this dumb question but I own a 2007FPb whose logic board is FUBAR (really). Obtaining a replacement is not easy any more (or unreasonably expensive) so I was wondering if replacing the logic board with one from the same line (e.g. 1708FP or 1907FP) would bring it back to life. Are the resolution capabilities for each one "hardcoded" into the main GENESIS chip or auto-sensed and applied? Has anyone tried something similar?

          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...
