    Re: Dell SX280 Question and eventually results

    If they are HM or HN or 85c then it's a good idea.
    Topcat said the 22uF are known to blow in either GX620 USFF or SX280 [pardon my geriatric moment, I don't remember which] and the two are identical layouts.

      I can't seem to locate a series on them, but they're rated for 105C. The only 85C cap is the single rubycon 100uF @ 16v, which I plan on replacing.

        We'll it's been prime95ing for 24 hours now, with no problems I have a 100uF @ 25v Panny FC that I can use to replace the 85C Rubycon in there. Then I should be good! Thanks for all your help everybody

          Well after 115 hours, 27 minutes of the prime95 torture test (error free!), I'm taking it apart again to put in that FC in place of the 85C rubycon, then I should be ready to sell it.

            Well I finally sold it. 75 bucks. Not quite as much as I was hoping, but still a nice 20 some dollar profit When I killed prime95 it said like 1292 hours - no errors!

              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.

              Dell Latitude 5420 does not start (no post) need help to find the reason why
              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.

              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 5410 greyed out BT
              by OntarioTL
              Well I've learned something new today. Of all the Dell laptops I've come across I have never seen bluetooth greyed out, and only to learn this is during the build from Dell factory. I've tried to pull the original BIOS and fix with another dell with the same issue on the forums, however the original was not recovered from the forum upgrade so I cannot do a comparison to attempt the fix on my own.

              If someone could help me out with this unit and I'll try the next one as so far I have 2 on my desk with this issue. Thanks in advance!

              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...
