    Dell XPS 600 OGC375 ugly coil and cap pics

    Greetings,


    Got that blinking yellow light and opened the case to find two capacitors black with buldges. Then I noticed the coil right next to it was burned.

    My question: is this repairable? I ask this because there are some small black burn marks on the board itself where the coil burned up. Does this destroy the board beyond repair? These caps are near the memory slots. What do you think...trash it or repair it?

    Could you please please look at these photos and tell me if it can be repaired.
    My wife really needs this computer working again.










    Does anyone want to take on this repair I will pay of course.

    Thanks! These forums are great.

    Best Regards,

    Daniel

          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...

          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...
