Faint screen - Latitude D630
I just bought a rebuilt Latitude D630 and it seems to work fine, except, when running on the battery, the screen is very small, but when the power of the House, the screen is fine. Is this just a battery problem or is the display driver, or something else?
Go into the BIOS Setup (F2 at startup) and change the setting of the brightness of the display on battery.

The HDD in Latitude D630 upgrade to 1 TB?
Hello
I have a question and can't find the answer in the docs of Latitude D630 published.
I think to upgrade the HARD drive in my D630 and can't help but notice the Western Digital 1 TB drives. Question is simply whether someone knows if this HARD drive would lie in the D630?
I am aware that the 1 TB drive has a profile that is slightly larger than the low-capacity discs (12.5 mm 9.5 mm as far as I can tell). But I can't find anything in the docs Dell to indicate the authorized maximum hard drive form factor.
Thank you
Pete
No, it doesn't - you need a thinner drive or 9.5 mm.

Dell Latitude d630 and Windows 7
Does anyone know why Dell does not support Win7 on a Dell Latitude d630?
This machine was built with Windows Vista 32 - bit o/s on 24 November 2008. The date of the original invoice was on May 22, 2009. Win7 was not released until October 2009. The guy I bought it from had installed Win7 and I don't have the disks of backup or restore with it. It works fine except it doesn't have enough RAM, (which is not a big deal). The problems occurred when I tried to update the drivers and found that there is no driver for this model with Win7. When I called Dell, they said that they do not support Win7 on this laptop.
So I was just curious to know if anyone knew why? I won't lose money, upgrading the RAM if Win7 is going to be a problem.
Although W7x86 lists 1 GB as the minimum, I found 2GB for the sweet spot minimum.
More RAM is always a good investment, and even if you decide not to run W7 on this PC (I hope that your friend bought the license outright to pass on to you), more RAM will be beneficial to XP, Ubuntu or another OS, you decide to run on it. However, more RAM is unable to completely cure your slow, because this might be a result (partially or totally) infections by malware, software problems, corruption of the file system or a bad hard drive... a reinstall to your specifications may be in order.
You can also try searching the forums (or Internet) to get an idea of real world experiences. I think that there should be no problem... I managed a few s D830 (similar systems - a step towards the top, but even age/line) at work who has installed and have run W7 flawless.

Quick adjustment driver for a Latitude D630 with Windows 7 32 bit
I loaded Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on a Dell Latitude D630. Is there a compatible with the D630 AND Windows 7 Home 32 bit Dell QuickSet driver?
I tried to use the serial number, [ADMIN NOTE: Service tag deleted by the privacy policy], in order to obtain the correct driver from the quick set button, but the pilot was offered, R182249, would not load. The Dell site also does not list Windows 7 in the drop down menu to the operating system. R182249 is listed as pilot QuickSet for Vista 32 or 64 bit.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
R182249 is for Vista 64 bit only; It will not work on 32 bit OS.
R180762 should load on Windows 7 32 bit, it worked fine for me on a D820.

Dell Latitude D630 - lack of wireless network connection
I have a laptop Dell Latitude D630 and we re-installed a new version of Windows XP on top an old XP version. When the installation is complete, I went into network connections and all I have is the connection to the LAN. There is no wireless network connection. I went to Device Manager and it shows a number of conflicts in 'other devices '. Under network adapters, it shows only the LAN adapter. How to bring back the wireless network connection?
Thank you

You've been a great help. I have downloaded and run the updates in this order and am now able to use the wireless device and connect to the internet. I kept your notes for later use when I have to do this again.

Faulty network adapter Dell Latitude D630 XFR Constant.

Even with Garry s Mod
Unplug it at random, but the State in the notification bar shows full bars / 4 bars and says "connected, access to Internet (WiFi SSID here)". " I tried various things, including making a restore complete driver for my network card, but failed. I tried to update too, but apparently that failed too.
I'd appreciate any help given,
Thank you!

Hi Tekkit,
Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft. I appreciate you providing a descriptive overview on the issue.
- Do you get this problem when your system is connected via a wired connection?
- You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
- You are hosting the game server or simply connect to someone else?
As you said, the question may arise due to the third-party firewall security software installed on your system or corrupt network drivers. To refine the question, I would like to connect once the system via a connection internet wired , i.e. via the connection cable directly inserted into the port on your system. In addition, please, try the following steps and check if the problem persists.
Method 1:
According to the manufacturer's website, it provides all the compatible Windows 7 drivers for model Latitude D630 XFR. Reference:
http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/Latitude-D630-XFR/drivers
You can download the driver last wireless compatible with Windows Vista (64-bit) the link above and try installing the driver in compatibility as detailed below mode.
- Download and Save the Wi - Fi driver compatible with Windows Vista (64-bit).
- Right-click on the downloaded driver file.
- ClickProperties , and then select the compatibility tab.
- Check enable the option run this program in compatibility mode for: , then select Windows Vista from the drop down.
- Click OK and install the driver.
For more information, please visit: make older programs run in this version of Windows
If the problem persists, try Method 2.
Method 2:
Disable the anti-virus software
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/disable-antivirus-software#1TC=Windows-7
Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

Windows 7 drivers for Latitude D630
I just installed Windows 7 with SP1 64 bit on my Latitude D630 (with integrated graphics card Intel, nVidia not). The system is in place fine and all devices are recognized, although the refresh of the display seems a bit funny sometimes.
I usually install a chipset driver right after OS install, but see that Dell has no download of Windows 7 for this laptop. Should I use the driver for chipset from the Intel site or stick with what Windows 7 is installed?
Same question applies to video, Ethernet, WiFi, pilots etc...
Thank you!
The wireless is turned on? If there is not a physical switch, try the shortcut to toggle (fn - Fxx).
