• No Audio - Inspiron 6400

  Hello

  I'm running an Inspiron 6400 (old, but * mainly * still works) and recently (for a few weeks) the sound has stopped working completely. I can't do audio speakers or headphones.

  Using audio players, if I try to read a file, the program will become numb and I have to leave. If I try to play a video, that is to say: on Youtube, the video will play without audio or won't play at all.

  Another thing to note: I dual boot Windows 7 and Linux. At the time where the sound has stopped working in Windows, I found it was also broken on Linux too, which initially led me to believe that it was a hardware problem, but after reinstallation of the operating system Linux sound on there started to work again. My only other thought is that the problem might be a level to the top of the BONE, but I don't want to take the risk of bricking my laptop computer with a BIOS flash at this point.

  Any thoughts would be appreciated :)

  but after the reinstallation of the operating system Linux sound there started to work again.

  Hello. Sorry for the delay in responding.

  If it doesn't work under Linux then it is not a hardware failure. You can try to install a driver audio Sigmatel (Vista version).

  Download the driver and extract the files (unzip or decompress and take note of the name of the folder created) but cancel the installation process. Go to the folder on the hard disk to which you have unpacked the driver files
  c:\Dell\Drivers\Rxxxxxx

  Find the setup.exe file and right-click on it. Select Properties. Find the Compatibility tab and select Vista.

  Note that there are some audio software Creative Labs available on Inspiron 6400 support page. If you never tried and cannot install this software before you install a driver Sigmatel audio no longer works in Windows because of the failure of a service. There is a fix available if that is the case.

  I don't want to take the risk of bricking my laptop with a flash of the BIOS at this stage.

  I don't blame you, and also if the audio allows you to work with your version of BIOS it should still work unless you have changed your cpu. But if you wish, you can contact a Dell employee via hours and get him or tell him you upgrade the BIOS. If the Dell motherboard brick it will fix as long you have the evidence to be directed to Dell.

• 7200 RPM HD available for Inspiron 9300?

  Bought an Inspiron 9300 @ the end of December 2005.  A year ago the 80 GB 5400 RPM HD starts giving errors failed constantly.  Tried to watch a disc that spins at 7200 RPM to replace, but the support.dell.com site is pretty vague.

  Ive found a 100 GB disk at 5400 RPM which is a replacement for $135 - see the Scorpion 160GBfor $99, but do not know which will take place in this laptop.

  so my dilemma: pay more for the 100 GB disk that has been "recommended" by the search engine, try the Scorpion and hope, it fits, or find a 7200 RPM drive on another place and try that.

  any tips?

  Thank you

  
  

• New HDD in my Dell INSPIRON N5010 laptop, will I go to 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM HARD drive

  I bought the DELL N5010 laptop about 4 years back, and currently it is more under warranty.
  2 days back my hard drive crashed and could not start or install the OS as there are bad sectors on the hard drive has. I plan to buy a new hard drive.

  Which one should I go for a 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM. I would go to 7200 RPM, as it is faster, but I read on the internet that the 7200 RPM generates more heat then 5400 RPM and my laptop is already facing heating problem. I had replaced the fan about 2 months as my laptop used to close because of the heat. The problem of heating has not changed, but laptop does not stop :)

  Anyone using the DELL N5010 laptop with a 7200 RPM HARD drive and he's fine?

  Any kind of recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Sach

  Thanks for the recommendation. The sales in the shop man also recommended the same thing. I bought Seagate 5200 SSHD(Solid State Hybrid Drives) which is still better than the conventional hard drive. :)

  Kind regards

• Upgrading to 7200 RPM / Inspiron 1720

  I just ordered a new 1720, and a 7200 RPM HARD drive is not available in the initial configuration. I was thinking about buying a separate GB 160 or 200 to 7200 RPM DELL, jump that it will come with everything you need to connect just like a main drive and keep the default slow reader, as a secondary. Am I wrong? I have heard stories of having to buy screws at astronomical prices, and so on. So, DELL player arrives with the caddy and all necessary connectors and screws, or it's just the player? Also, if it's just the drive, how much (approximately) would it cost to get the rest of the parts to install it?

  Thank you!

• Satellite P300 - upgrade to larger hard drives and 7200 RPM?

  I have a Satellite P300, model PSPCCA-01W073 (sold in Australia). Machine has two 320 GB of HARD drive. Yes, it's all up to 640 GB. I upgraded to Windows 7 OS and I have dual boot in to Linux Ubuntu.

  My job is editing/processing of multimedia files big and my hard drives are overexploited, so I now I am forced to exchange large files back and fourth with various USB hard drives. If I can replace the existing readers with much larger models, then I will go ahead and do it. .. But at this point, I'm out of my depth!

  I asked the support from Toshiba if P300 supports larger disks but they will not engage all the answers outside the original specifications. They suggest that I should try Toshiba users forum for more help.

  A kind person could tell me if it is possible to run drives 320 GB and the size. Also, I believe that the existing drives are 5400 RPM. My online store parts and pieces of local computer lists a choice between Hitachi, WD, Seagate and Samsung with sizes:

  (2.5 "/ 5400 RPM") 320 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB and 1 TB as well as sizes: (2.5 "/ 7200 rpm") 500 GB, 640 GB and 750 GB.

  So my second question; y at - it no advantage or disadvantage to the superior speed of 7200 RPM.

  TIA, your help should prevent to me yet an another expensive blunder.

  Hello

  Theoretically more big hard drives must be supported and should not be a big problem to use this HARD drive as the SATA controller is not limited to any size.

  Also the use of the faster HARD drive 7200 RPM should not affect the performance of the laptop even if this HARD drive faster produce more heat

  In my opinion you can upgrade to a larger and faster HARD drive

• Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite A100-906 with 160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Hello guys,.

  First of all, I would like to congratulate all the people here for their good advice.
  As for my question, I want to upgrade my HARD drive. I have the laptop A100-906, which has a drive HARD 100 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi.

  The hard drive, I would like to buy, is also Hitachi but with the highest capacity (160 GB) and RPM faster (7200 against 5400).
  I wonder, if my laptop supports this drive and if I have problems with temperature and noise, because the HARD drive runs at 7200 RPM.

  To summarize the above, is it really useful to replace my old 5400 RPM HARD drive to a new 7200 RPM?
  Should I buy a new one with 5400 RPM to avoid having problems of temperature and noise?

  Please let me know your opinion and thank you in advance.

  Hello

  As you already know we can only speculate on the size of the HARD disk
  In my opinion the 160 GB would be possible. But it s just my personal opinion.

  In any case, the higher speed (7200 RPM) HARD drive should be a problem. I noticed that many laptops use 7200 RPM HDDs and 5200 RPM. So I imagine that the heat produced by the HARD drive shouldn't t increase the level of temperature at a critical level.

• Satellite P30-116 - 7200 RPM HARD drive upgrade?

  I intend to replace original 100 GB 4200 RPM HDD in P30 with new model 7200 RPM.

  I'm looking at any 2.5', P - ATA, 100 GB, 7200 RPM drive HARD model I can find.
  On my list are these 3 models:

  - Seagate Momentus 7200,1 (ST910021A)
  http://www.Seagate.com/CDA/products/discsales/personal/family/0, 1085,669,00.html

  - Hitachi Travelstar E7K100 (HTE721010G9AT00)
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/e7k100/e7k100.htm

  I worry especially about the overheating problem.

  Is there someone who has experience with this drive? s in P30?

  OK, I noticed that E7K100 operating temperature 40 ° C and 7K 100 a 55 C. This avoids E7K100.
  Now I have to choose from:

  -Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100 (HTS721010G9AT00)

• HARD drive external with will operate at 7200 rpm on Equium A60-155

  Hello

  I have an Equium A60-155 which runs at 4200 RPM and I'm having some problems running some recording software. I thought a hard disk at 7200 RPM. This will be compatible and it my computer, and then run at 7200 RPM? I'm naïve on this...

  Thank you

  Hello

  You want to connect the 7200 RPM external HARD drive to the USB2 port?
  Usually the HARD drive should be recognized if you are connecting to the USB2 port, but the question is whether you'll be able to find a 2.5 external enclosure and controller that takes care of hard drives.

  If the external HARD disk controller can support this HDD then you should be able to use the HARD drive.
  But he should know that USB 2.0 has a rate of raw data at 480 Mbps but stretches of effective rate to 320Mbps for transfer on a USB 2.0 HDD if no one else does not share the bus.

• HPW 180 t - install my old HD - IDE Western Digital 7200 RPM - OK or NOKAY

  I got justr thisw new machine about 3 weeks ago, and with the exception of a few small irritating problem, I am very happy with it.

  However-, I made a call to support and got a guy named allegedly 'brand '.  If his name was really mark the rest of his name was Rajahneesh Hakam Makeshni. VERY thick Middle's accent and had salty with me when I ask her a problem I had with the mouse.

  So if I can avoid it, I'll stay away from HP support Pakastani Office or the India.

  I had a ' WDC WD5000AAKB-00YSA0 ' 500gig 7200 RPM HD in my old machine.  I used the Belkin cable Migration and software to move data and user information this machine... I thought.  I got most, but not all.  Pulled down from the old PC and put it away. Big mistake.

  So what I'm thinking is I would like to take the hard drive out of the old machine and put it in the new machine.

  So nobody knows if it works with what ever wiring (IDE?) has this new machines and if I open the case on the new HP will cancel the guarantee.

  Thank you for your time and...

  I hope that you are having a pleasant, productive and prosperous day.

  SAID, you can try an IDE to USB enclosure for your old drive.  This will allow you to connect to your computer via a USB 2.0 port.  It would be faster and easier to install.

• G71-340US notebook - a disc will modernize a SATA 3 GB/s 7200 RPM drive work?

  The 320 GB drive that came with my laptop G71-340US is short of space, and I want to spend at least a 500 GB drive.  An upgrade to a SATA 3 GB/s 7200 RPM drive work? My thoughts are that if I upgrade the disk I might as well get a faster at this point drive if the G71-340US laptop will support it.

  Thanks much for any help!

  Hello

  On some models, there are problems with 500 GB HARD drive. It is safer to stay with 320 GB drive HARD and just get the external HARD drive. If you have a chance, so it is interesting to test this great HARD drive. You can only check it is detected by the Bios or not.

  If you are in the United States, then from there what I remember that Newegg offer return policy for what does not work for you.

  You have 30 days for this step. Please check this information on your own because I'm not sure of him.

  7200 RPM HARD drive runs faster and you will feel this change for you.

  If you want to change the HARD drive for the biggest or fastest then you should use clonning like EASEUS Todo - Backupsoftware.

  It will copy everything from old HDD again and allow you to use your system without having to reinstall.

  See this tutorial. You will find information how to use this software.

  You will need 2.5 "SATA external enclosure. Get in this new HARD drive and connect it to your laptop via USB.

• How will I know if a core I5 and 5400 RPM drive is ok for me or if I should get a core I7, 7200 RPM dr

  Buy a new laptop.  My old Dell Inspiron is giving up the ghost.

  How will I know if a core I5, disk 5400 RPM is quite enough for me or if I should get a core I7, 7200 RPM laptop drive?  Also can I get an I5 with 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM with an I7?  Need some recommendations.  I'm not an expert in computer so need a good explanation on what to do and why?  I don't have video games on the laptop.  It uses mainly for the mail, Excel, word, internet research, videos on the internet, etc.

  I'll use the Kudo.   Now I know what it is for.
