Dell Latitude Power Supply/load - smoke and sparks

The power supply for my Dell Latitude began to smoke and then sparks started the swing of it.  Fortunately I managed to unplug unit before that my laptop has been damaged or a serious fire started.

What is the Dell process to deal with such incidents?

Picture of the power supply is included, and it is about 3 years old.

  • Dimension E510: Power supply, video cards and fans...

    Howdy Dell Community!

    About 2 years ago I bought a Dell Dimension E510 desktop to game and machinima. It has served me pretty well until about a week ago lightning hit a tree outside my window while I tried to shut down my system. The storm came pretty quick and I didn't know that it was there only a rumble of Thunder, so I started to stop, but it was too late: smileysad:. The motherboard was virtually unusable. I took it to a local computer repair shop and the machine lights up and works just fine except for the card NETWORK does not work on the map AND if you did a RAM test that it would fail, but not one stick of RAM could be found with a problem. They ordered a replacement for my Dell motherboard.

    So I was thinking the other day, 'now would be a great time to make updates!". I put a 250 GB Seagate Barracuda HARD drive to replace the old 80 GB Hitachi. I also thought to improve cooling, the power supply and the video card. I have a lot of questions so here Let's go!

    (1) can I replace the fan inside the shrowd of cpu with a spare fan fan, and if so what are the dimensions of the fan?

    (2) can / should I strap in a 80 mm fan / 120 mm at the rear of the case to increase the flow of air from the case?

    (3) I heard that put a spare PSU is FRY your motherboard. I don't want that, but Dell doesn't provide upgrades of power supply (isn't that Nice of them?). A power PC Power & Cooling 500W Dell will work with the motherboard and the case?

    (4) after installing a new power supply, something like an ATI Radeon HD 3870 would work well? (compatibility with the motherboard)

    (5) I read something about being owner or something in this sense (like my e510) Dell systems. What is c?

    Well, that's all for now. I hope that there will can help me!
    Thanks for your time.

  • Upgrading a p6510f Pavilion with a new power supply, graphics card and RAM work?

    Well, here's the deal that I go back to Japan for about 3 months and during this time I will borrow my laptop Cousins (in Exchange for my office) for Skype etc.. No problem their the thing is that he is a player and this p6510f has a few bad specifications when it comes to this, so I thought that I could let him borrow some cake rather than dirt, if you catch my drift ha... As well, when I get back gamer I ~ ('voice of Yoda"aka How Japanese works...)

    So I looked on Newegg / Amazon read comments and planned my purchase but the question is can this case and the Board of Directors manage what I use? lazy to measure everything out / busy.

    So first thing, I would like to replace:

    Replace the 2 x 2 GB ram cards default with:

    4 x Corsair blue Vengeance 4 GB (2 X 4 GB) 1600 mHz PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM of 240 pins

    For a total of ram 16 GB with my x 64 bit PC of course

    Link: http://AMZN.to/KtMt9m (note that I buy two)

    Replacing power 250w with an overkill rather one but it is the same price as a 550w then why not eh? After all the future upgrade/ability to use it in future builds?

    1 x Corsair Enthusiast Series 650 watts 80 Plus Bronze Certified Power Supply Compatible with Intel Core i3, i5, i7 and AMD platforms

    For the graphics card + overclocking.

    Link: http://AMZN.to/IkLTdp 

    Finally no more ATI integrated BS... Please for the love of the creator (will it work?)

    1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 580 1536 MB GDDR5 PCI-Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI

    If my PC can adapt to this card, and it works with power above that will make me happy enough. (Regarding the cooling if it becomes a problem, I can upgrade fans me but first comes this material.)

    Link: http://AMZN.to/IFiEa2

    I checked the slot for graphics card, RAM and power supply power and it seems to me that this will work out I want just a professional opinion...

    Hello

    According to Corsair, the DIMMs that you chose is detected only at 1600 mhz, which is not in the specifications published by HP.

    You can roll the dice on the DIMMs that you chose, but I wouldn't recommend that buy you them until you contact Corsair and get a confirmation.  Computers HP can be very finicky with DIMMs, especially if you try to mix them with other DIMM modules.  If you do buy these bars and want to be them mixed with the existing DIMMs, then make sure the timings of latency CASE corresponding information validated HP. Also mix DIMM sizes will cause the memory function in unbalanced mode that adversely affect the performance of the memory.

    You should be able to make your own decision on whether to roll the dice.

  • Reference Dell GX620 Power Supply Question

    What's up guys, I'm new here, and earlier this month my school made me a job on time partial like the public library IT Assistant, because I took IT out classes at my high school. I'm 18, and I know a little about computers. My question is, one of our computers at the library, a GX620, the power supply of the machine went wrong and that we have at the back of the library are detached power supplies for GX520, I asked my professor of computer SCIENCE at the school if it would be prudent to go and try to install the GX520 power in the GX620, but I'm still not sure if it will be a sure idea It would cause a fire? He would burn something inside the PC? My COMPUTER teacher told me to check the amps and volts on feeding 620, and I checked, the GX620 power supply has a maximum of 275 WATTS, while feeding GX520 has a maximum of 220 WATTS, is completely switch the GX620 bad diet, with the GX520 spare?

    And you know that the PSU is bad, how... ?

    First, you will need to know if the spare GX520 PSU's for the same (Tower, Desktop, small, ultra compact) form factor as the GX620 before you can even think to use it because if the form factor of the PC is different, it cannot even between.

    There is a block of POWER W 220 here that says: it adapts GX520 both GX620 Desktop. But if you do not have a GX620 Desktop, this power supply may be a bit low power if the original was 275W.

    That said, you can get a power supply for the GX620 here for less than $30, depending on the form factor. If your existing GX620 power SUPPLY PSU 275W, it seems you might have a small GX620 form, based on the specs of the PSU indicated on this page.

    I saw this kinds of problems occur with the power strips and even UPS systems. And some similar questions have

    Solution is not to use the tape and maybe get a UPS with brown-out solution.

  • Power supply problem with Dell Inspiron One 2310

    Hello

    I have a problem with my computer Dell 2310, as far as I can see that the power supply burned out or something similar. Blue bright lighting supply cable indicates that power delivery is correct, but the power light on the power button does not respond.

    I suspect that the power supply is blown and needs to be replaced, I hope that a replacement is available on the list of spare parts and hits on how to properly check if my preliminary diagnosis is correct. I see no reason to suspect problems with the other componentts such as motherboard, memory, disk HARD etc.

    Grateful for advice on how to check my diagnose some material.

  • power supply and graphics card

    Hello world.

    I have a p6604f with a power supply 250W hp computer and a radeon hd 4200.

    -I would like to ask some questions about the replacement of the power supply to a 380W: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371033

    - and to replace the graphics card with an asus radeon hd 6670( http://www.amazon.ca/Radeon-128-Bit-EAH6670-DIS-1GD5/dp/B004X8EODY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1353017736... or a radeon 6770 ( http://ncix.com/products/?sku=63847&vpn=GV-R677D5-1GD&manufacture=Gigabyte)

    (1) will be suitable food or do you have other suggestions?

    (2) power will be able to do all that (the computer and a graphics card) is functioning normally?

    (3) the graphics card will fit?

    (4) do you have any suggestions for less or if it is not appropriate, graphics cards or power supplies?

    Thanks in advance for the answer

     

    Hello

    Your choice for a power supply will fit, but he does not meet the requirements system AMD which is 400 watts.

    The ASUS AMD 6670 that you referenced to adjust, but it is always better to open your PC control and measurement.

    This Corsair CX430 meeting the recommended minimum AMD power supply wattage size and it's actually a bit cheaper because of the available discount and delivery costs.  All the amperage 12 Volt is on a rail, so you won't have to worry about 12 volt rail for balancing.

  • The Green and black wire to three posts on HP POWER supply

    Hello!  I recently updated my old diet Pavilion 760n for a power SUPPLY ATX 500W PSU.  Everything worked very well.

    Uh, except that a small pig green and black of the former power supply... one that has been plugged in where it says 'PS - FAN' on my mobo.  I didn't have one of these same three grandsons connectors on the new power supply.

    And is even funnier, as the old power supply HP has a list on the side which shows what color wire has what voltage on it - red + 5V yellow is + 12V, black is ground, etc., but GREEN is not on the list!

    I opened my computer and big case fan is running (12VDC fan), the fan on the heatsink from the CPU works, the GPU card fan works... the only fan who is not running is the power supply fan (but I think it is because it is running when the power supply gets hot and she needs).

    Can someone tell me what this little piggy of son was for and what voltage it supplied, and how it is used? Thank you!

    It's your motherboard and I see that the outlet marked PS - FAN.  Apparently motherboard and bios controlled the speed of the fan to power supply.  It is the first time I heard of this, but then you have an older model of PC.  New power supplies have an internal fan.  The Green wire can be a signal wire.

  • The upgrade of the power supply for HP Pavilion M7570N

    The reason I'm on this forum is when I called hp support and gave me a stupid answer of not being able to change the PSU because of software...

    Well well, the reason why I'm spending power supply is because I bought a new video card and he needs about 500watts and my current power supply is 300watts and I was wondering if I can change it. The video card I bought requires also [2] PCI-E 6-pin

    Video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150325

    I don't know if the size can fit the case m7570n (the slot of the psu) and I don't know if she has enough connectors for everything that is inside the computer

    * Note * I have not changed the computer, I haven't added or whatever it is taken so the connectors, there will be the same amount connected

    It's a high-end desktop PC.  No doubt he will come with an ATX PSU with 5VDC, 12VDC and 3.3Vdc output rails.  I'm not familiar with the Interior of your PC, so I'll give you two General configurations of PSU layout.

    1. design intermediary such as PC Power & Cooling with one or two 80 mm fans to expel air through the PSU.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817341011

    2 down-draft design as Cosair 450VX with a 120 mm or more huge blowing fan case in the heat sink and the motherboard of the PSU.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139003

    If the power supply is at the top, back or side of the PC, then a power supply down-project will do a better job to remove heat from the PC.  If the power supply is in the middle of the PC, then go with an intermediate design.  This design will generate more noise at higher load, since the smallest fan should turn more quickly to transport the same amount of air in a 150 mm or 120 mm fan.

    Looking for a nominal 80% efficiency POWER supply.  Detachable power cable is a bonus to maximize the air flow inside the PC.  Make sure the power supply is delivered with the right type of power connector to drive you GPU.  All modern units of quality with 20 + 4 and 4 + 4 key cards.  If you do not plan to run graphic dual with a high range GPU, so it doesn't matter what quality 80 watter 380 power SUPPLY Antec, Corsair, Enermax and Seasonic PSU will be enough.  You will need to back up POWER supply to 450-550W, if you run two graphics cards high-end.

    A good 450W PSU is a good compromise because it is more effective when the PC is idle and has enough power to run two GPUS.  If you want to save $ on electricity, then get a smaller power supply (range 300-350W) because these units reach the level of efficiency of 80% around release of 65 to 70 watts.

  • Dimension 4600 doesn't work with the new power supply

    Hi all

    I replaced the power supply in my 4600 today so he would welcome a Nvidia Geforce 7950GT AGP.

    The model is an integrator of Aerocool 500W 80 Plus Bronze. http://www.Amazon.co.UK/GP/product/B00JKVHKSU?

    The 4600 has two sockets on the motherboard. A 20 pin and 4 pin. The new power supply had a 24pin cable that I shared, so it became 20 + 4.

    It is not working properly. With all the connected cables (2 cables for the mobo) and 2 connectors molex to drive HARD and CD - R, there is a flashing orange light on the front of the computer and a green light on the motherboard. Some discs don't look, no noise. Nothing is on. If I remove the power cable from motherboard 4 pin POWER supply lights up and the fan from the CPU. There is no problem when I connect the old Dell 250w PSU back up.

    Some of the reviews on Amazon have said that some cable has been connected to wrong and only he re-wiring to work. I don't know if this applies to me? I took some pictures of the connectors. http://imgur.com/a/6m9pu

  • With Tecra750DVD power supply problem

    My laptop recently decided to refuse to turn on when I turned on. There is a yellow light in the position of "power" over the front of the machine, but it won't start. I tried all the options: Power Supply Unit only, only battery, Power Supply Unit + battery and nothing works. Fuse is good in the plug of power supply. Battery is less than 12 months.

    Hello

    You can remove the battery completely when problemshooting this kind of predicament.

    First of all - what impression the power button? Does it feel as it should? Refers to how it used to feel? If this is not the case, check if there is an active "lock" behind it.

    Some models have a safety lock to keep the machine from accidentally start in a bag or two.
    Please look at the LED that indicates that your adapter is connected. When you try to switch the machine on, what is happening with this LED? Always the same fixed green light or suddenly out or flashing?
    If out, please try to get your hands on another adapter (borrow prefferably). If it flashes then try to remove the AC adapter, remove any option that can be easily removed, CD/DVD, memory, expansion card PC and so on.
    Try to restart it (remember to join HQ again). Even? If Yes, then sorry to say I think that your machine needs service. If this isn't the case, then there could be hope.

    Disconnect the AC and put back in place the units that you have deleted before, one by one and after each unit, try to restart the machine.
    If it starts fine, remove the unit and reconnect the next unit. Perhaps you will find that there is a problem with an external device (memory, CD, PC Card and so on), then at least you can continue working more or less as before the problem.

    Good luck
