Dell Latitude D810

Greetings,

I was given a Latitude D810. I rebuilt the fort with a fresh install of XP and downloaded, video and network Sigmatel audio drivers on the Dell site and install them. I've also updated the memory to 1 GB. Everything seems to work with one exception.

I use this computer to connect to Second Life so that I can run sound audio effects for theatrical productions through the Vivox voice communication channels. The audio comes a computer and pipes through mixer to the laptop. I did it with my other computers well enough, but for some reason any with this one I am an almost constant static pulse. This does not work when I plug a standard Logitec headset into it. The microphone works well and I get no static. But when I connect the output of the mixer Behringer or go directly from PC to laptop, I get static. I tried all the settings I can find on the laptop, I tried different ports on the table mixing and going even directly from the desktop PC that runs the SFX in the laptop, and also of various cables without result. Anyone have any ideas on what is the cause and how can I eliminate it? Thank you.

Kind regards
Craig Allen

Hello Craig. Run the laptop on battery. If the noise goes away, then you have some kind of loop of mass caused by the AC adapter.

There was a design flaw that simultaneously struck all Dell laptops. I don't remember when it was fixed, so don't know if the D810 had the problem.

If battery eliminates the problem, a temporary solution is then get an adapter pin 2-pin (ground eliminator) 3 in a hardware store and use it either on the phone or mixer card.

Long term fix is to get a ground isolator - an inexpensive Radio Shack used to have (part 270-054). Or get a usb sound card that has optical s/pdif and connect to the mixer it's - no drivers. An external card that connects with copper cables will not help.

  • Latitude D810 PATA for upgrade of the SATA HARD drive

    I have a laptop Dell Latitude D810, with an ATX hard disk controller interface (at least it is what I was told that I have, in addition the Linux kernel reports ATX so), but the installed hard drive is a Hitachi Travelstar 7 K 100 60 GB: HTS721060G9AT00, which a Ultra ATA drive with IDE interface. It connects to the motherboard with a Foxconn adaptor (p/n 59PJA). I have two questions:

    1. How can I be sure that I actually have an ATX interface for hard disks in my laptop?

    2 if I do, can I get an adapter to connect the hard drive to the ATX system board?


  • Windows 7 on Latitude D810

    Hi all

    I used to use a Latitude D830 with Windows 7, as my Latitude D810 is my laptop backup, I tried to install Windows 7. Everything seems to work perfectly except the video card for which I find no correct driver. I tried all for who I found on the web, tried lots of tips, nothing to do. I have a Radeon X 300 with a normal resolution of 1280 x 800 32 bit and the best pilot (Catalist V10.2) just display 1068 x 780, which is appalling.
    Does anyone know this problem?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Turbo33,

    Welcome to the community.

    I'm afraid, the laptop was not designed for windows 7 and there are has no windows 7 drivers available for this notebook on the Dell support Web site. I also tried to look for the driver on the AMD Web site and was not able to locate the video driver there as well. So in this case, you can be forced to go back to windows XP or use the native Windows 7 drivers for this video card. Or you can also try to search for the driver online.

    Let me know if there are other concerns. Glad to be of assistance.

  • No sound on Dell Latitude D520

    Dell Latitude D520 was in a good condition, a few weeks ago, regarding the sound and programming settings, functioned at that time here. Someone handed the laptop down to me and from that point is when I started having problems who never were a problem, all the time that I used it. The main problem is the fact that there is absolutely no sound. I took it to a sales associate at a store that does repairs on computers, who asked me to do a diagnostic check/scan, and when this was complete I discovered a problem under the sounds and Audion devices that joined the "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" does not properly, so when I went through the troubleshooting instructions , a download started, but was interrupted with a notice reading "continues the instalation of this software may impair or destabilize the functioning of your system, either immediately or in the future." Microsoft strongly reccomends that you stop the installation of this software now and contact the provider of material for software that has passed Windows Logo test. "The sales associate told me that my problem was a change in the sound for some reason or another settings. In the hope that the previous owner might be able to give me some instructions on what changes have been made so that I could directly where to go and what kind of changes, I do, I failed in my attempt to get ANY useful information like that either, because he says he brought no change, so the sound should work. Although it is most certainly not!

    Low sound volume

    My speakers on my Dell Latitude D820 suddenly emit only a low sound. I adjusted all the volume controls in the menu sounds from the Control Panel, and there is no change in volume. It's real power radio on the internet and play music from a CD inserted into my machine. The sound icon does not appear in the toolbar.  I tried the fixit of automatic Wndows and it ran and said low volume has been set. Not the case.

  • Primary hard drive 0 not found Dell Latitude

    Hello

    I just bought 2 notebooks of Dell Latitude D800 with no operating system. The first laptop is fine, but the second, when I turn it on it shows the Dell screen with the loading bar. The loading bar is to halfway to the end when it freezes. The system freezes on this screen for about a minute, then it beeps twice and a black screen that says:

    "First hard drive 0 not found '.

    No bootable devices - don't strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility.

    So I go into the BIOS and see under "internal hard drive" and he says: 'no '. I checked and make sure the hard disk has been activated, and it is.

    I took the hard drive and reinstalled it. Nothing. The drive is a Toshiba 40 GB. In addition, mention, the reader makes a weird noise (not the click of death) and the hard drive on the laptop stays on all the time.

    Other D800 I mentioned boots very quickly and displays a no. OS screen, which is very good.

    So is my dead HDD?

    Thank you

    It is quite clear that the BIOS does not recognize the hard drive.  I suspect that the IDE controller on the motherboard has failed.

    Given that you have two cell phones similar to fool around with, probably the fastest way to isolate the problem is to swap hard drives.  Call the laptop that does not have one and one that works B

    If the laptop has now boots and cell B now is not, you know that the player who has been to A is bad.

    If A laptop computer still does not start and portable B boots again, then you know that the two disks are OK and the problem is the motherboard or the connector of the drive in the laptop.

  • Dell Latitude: Scan with Windows 10

    I have a HP Deskjet 3520.  in a moment of pure, pure madness, I've upgraded to Windows 10.  Now my printer won't scan to my computer in pdf format.

    If I try to scan to PDF it is right there with a message "connecting to a computer" which remains for about 5 minutes, then he told me "the computer does not respond.  Check that the USB cable is attached or wireless works correctly and try again."  Yep, check it out and try to print of tp.  Yes, so the computer is obvioisly talk to the printer, try scanning in format PDF - not just the same message.

    Previously, he fortunately scanned word copy paper in pdf documents but not now.  My computer is a Dell Latitude E5500, already served by Windows 7.  Now I don't know even how to find out what is my basic computer.  I don't know that Windows (Microsoft I guess) kept sending messages that my upgrade was ready and that if I install all my data and stuff would be ok.  Well, it's not ok.  I don't want to do something harmful - I just want to be able to scan documents to PDF, so I can send by e-mail.
