Inspiron 660, power led?

I have a desktop Dell Inspiron 660. The good news is that I have a very high quality HD camcorder.  The bad news is that it requires a FireWire port to connect with my computer. No problem, I thought. I got a PCI to provide one. It requires that a power cable be connected to make it work. I jumped to open the case expects to find the usual complement of lines of unused energy available for such use. In fact, there is nothing at all.

The desktop computer Inspiron 660 doesn't have the old white PCI ports. There the new black locations of PCIe (PCI Express).

Desktop Inspiron 660 PC =
Three PCIe x 1 connectors
A PCIe x 16 video card location

PCIe cards should not require a power wire. You need to buy a FireWire PCIe x 1 card.

  • Inspiron laptop power button: LED backlight?

    I have a new laptop Inspiron 5758. When I press the power button on this topic, the power button does not, even if there is a small translucent band on it designed to show the light from an LED behind it.

    At work, we have a few new laptops Latitude 15 and their power buttons lights up when you press.

    A Dell technical support person told me that the Inspiron buttons power lights don't hurry; the single LED on the system is a forward on the half lower case which serves as an indicator of activity combination of load and disk.

    The tech support person gave me specific information?

    There is no led on or around the power on button.

  • Updating desktop Inspiron 660 s graphics

    I have a desktop Dell Inspiron 660 s running with 6 GB of memory, 1 to hard drive and Intel HD graphics. I want to improve my graphics in order to allow a better gaming experience. I would like to know if it is possible to improve the graphics and if I could come to this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IDG3NDY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

    Thanks for any help!

    I think I have a small Tower because it doesn't have a lot of empty space inside. Is it possible to have a card not in the Tower?

    The GTX 750 will not work.  Only low-profile cards will be suitable to the 660 s.  You also only a 220 Watt power supply.  I run the HD 6570 HERE in 660 s who does well enough with the games.  Even if you can still find them (overpriced) because they have been abandoned, the 7750 HD HERE worked in the 660 s and was the best card you could get.  The Sapphire is available only used on ebay, but other brands are still there.  The HD 6570 would be higher than your Intel HD graphics and for the price can be your best buy.  You cannot run the cards outside your Tower.

  • This PSU and GPU will work with my dell inspiron 660?

    Hello

    I got my dell inspiron 660 earlier (2 years ago) and was thinking of upgrading the PSU and GPU (I'm not a big PC gamer so cheap products, I chose will be much used) anyone of you could tell me if it would be compatible with my inspiron and between them. And if not could you tell me some compatible CPU and GPU, my spending limit is £90.

    GPU - Asus GeForce GT 610

    PSU - power supply 600W Sumvision power X 3

    Thanks in advance,

    I think that the 660 has a 300W power supply.  What is the Min requirements for the GT 610?  I think you could slamming in there without having to upgrade the power supply at all.

  • Radeon HD 7570 vs 7750 for Inspiron 660 s?

    I want to update my integrated Intel HD Graphics 2500 on my Inspiron 660 s, which has an I3-3240, 4 GB of RAM (which I intend to get 4 GB more), PSU 220w and Slim Case, a Radeon HD 7570 or 7750 which I just wanted to know which is safer to have with my diet and the profitability of this one. Thank you for your time and your response.

    None is validated and both use more power than a 6450 either kill your diet.  If you want to upgrade you must have obtained the mini lathe with minimum power 305 w.

  • Dell Inspiron 660 AMD Radeon HD 7800 series BSOD

    Recently, I have put my Dell Inspiron 660 with a new graphics card, an AMD Radeon HD 7800. At the same time, I improved the power source to a Corsair Builder Series CXM modular 80 PLUS Bronze certified ATX/EPS power supply 500W.

    I installed the card, update drivers and disabled the integrated graphics card. I tried to disable the onboard graphics via BIOS but there is no option to disable it in the BIOS, the AMD Radeon also is not running in the BIOS. If I uninstall the onboard graphics, the computer just re - installs on reboot.

    The card works for everyday tasks, but whenever I try to launch a game, it works fine without any problems for a few minutes and then crash with a BSOD. Then, the computer restarts and is as usual.

    The Inspiron 660 comes with the processor intel core i3-2130, 4 GB Ram and a 64-bit operating system.

    Any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Then, you need to get a more expensive food.

  • Graphics card for Inspiron 660 s

    Hi I do not know much about computers, but I have a Dell Inspiron 660 s and I want to upgrade the integrated video card. What video card will fit my diet better computer and power?

    7750 HD is very energy efficient.  He's going only to use about 50 watts of power when the games and a lot less when not.  In the comments of this card, those who bought used it on their 660 s Dell and doesn't seem to have problems.  The 7750 HD and HD 6570 will probably all have the same energy, but the 7750 HD is going to be much better for the games.  You would have to put down the way of things on the HD 6570 against the 7750.  Just do not overclock the card or you might have problems on such a small power supply.

    If you want to run at higher resolutions and settings to play with games today, I say forget the HD 6570.  However, even the 7750 HD won't all play on highest settings.  It's just that the 7750 HD is the best that you can possibly do for the system you have.  Office supplies Dell used to make more power in their slim cases.  I have a 275 watt in mine.  I would never buy a computer that had only a power SUPPLY 220 watt PSU if I had the game in mind.  My guess is that you would use probably around 175 total watts on the system depending on your CPU.  Obviously, the HD 6570 is half the cost of the 7750 HD so it depends on what you can live with and be happy.

    In conclusion, a 220 watt POWER supply is not plenty to run with the HD 7750, but others have run it on the 660 s so that's all I can say.  It's really up to you.  I give it a try if I was trying to play modern games?  Yes, I probably would.  But then again, I'm surprised by the games, people say that they can play with the HD 6570.  If your resolution is 1920 x 1080, then forget it in my opinion.  If your just running 1440 x 900 or 1280 x 1024, then you might be right.

  • Card graphic Inspiron 660 recommendations

    Hello

    I'm looking for any recommendation for graphics cards of the Inspiron 660. Preference that the card will be just straight pop and help me to run Battlefield 3.

    Thank you

    Ronak

    Hello

    The Inspiron 660 has following options available for the graphics Chipset:

    • Integrated Intel HD graphics chipset.
    • nVIDIA GeForce GT 620 (per round).
    • AMD Radeon HD 7570.
    • NVIDIA GeForce 640GT (for Mini Tower).

    In 660 Inspiron power is 300W for mini tower and Slim Tower is 220W.

    This is the graphics card for Battlefield 3 requirement:

    Minimum: ATI Radeon 3870 or more, nVidia GeForce 8800 GT or higher.
    Recommended: nVidia GeForce GTX 560 or ATI Radeon 6950.

    For graphics cards above, the energy supply needs are superior to present food in the computer. You may need to upgrade the power supply, if the graphics card is upgraded.

    For any information feel free to contact me.

  • Inspiron 660 - undetected graphics card

    I have an i5 Inspiron 660 recent MT with Windows 8.

    I installed a graphics card fully working Radeon HD5670. However, starting with the plugged card I don't received a completely black screen or no signal. I switched the video cable to the video integrated and found that the Radeon does not even appear in the Windows Device Manager.

    I need to change a setting in the bios for the card detectable?

    Thank you all for your suggestions.

    The problem turned out be the Dell power supply - there is not enough amperage on the 12V rail. I installed a decent replacement and all this work a - OK.

  • Inspiron 660 - solid Amber Light, No POST, does not start

    Hello world

    Having badly put in that my Inspiron 660 road.  When I press the button, it turns Orange fixed and there is no display.    I need to change a few items on the computer?

    Full article:

    Earlier, before I clicked on the sleep button on my keyboard and left my computer for awhile.  When I came back, the computer showed a black screen, but he was still awake.  I left alone for a while, but I couldn't get the screen to show so I held the power button.

    I then took over, hoping everything was ok, but then it restarted several times by himself.  Then he showed a blue screen with a frowny face indicating 'inaccessible boot device '.  I decided to try safe mode.  After scanning of the hard drive, it eventually start in safe mode.  After a few moments, I stopped it safely.

    After that, I thought I should try a regular boot.  When I hit the power button, it remained white, but there is no display.  After leaving it alone for a bit, I tried to turn off by holding the power button.  But it does not work.  The only option I had was to pull the plug.  After reconnecting, there now solid amber light, no display, no post.

    Hoping someone has a solution I have at least back on my computer.

    Solid amber of the switch shows the dead motherboard.

  • Update the Dell Inspiron 660 graphics card

    I had my Dell Inspiron 660 for a little over a year and am now looking to upgrade the graphics card. It's pretty close to it, but mine works on Windows 7:

    In my opinion, he has a power supply 300 watt, 8 GB of ram, integrated Intel HD graphics card and is the complete Office Tower (not mini). I'm tired of playing games on low heat and would like a card that can handle parameters of medium-high on the games. I could upgrade food if necessary, but would like to keep all of the budget under $ 200. I heard the AMD Radeon 7750 may work with a 300 Watt power supply, but I don't want to take the risk of harming the computer. One of these cards would be suitable for my current setup:

    http://www.Amazon.com/XFX-DisplayPort-PCI-Express-FX775...

    or

    http://www.Amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-1024MB-graphics-01G-...

    Or do I have to switch to a diet that is higher (like this one), and then that the cards would be good under $150?

    http://www.Amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-series-Watt-CX500...

    You can use the 650 GTX because it requires a power supply cable 6 pin that does not have 300 watt POWER supply.  The only one that works is the 7750 HD because it does not require any additional power cling. Your best bet for the game would be to upgrade your power supply.  With the upgrade of the PSU, I will seek to obtain the R7 X 260 HERE.  This is the best you can do for less than $150.

  • Satellite R840-139 - Power led blinks

    Hello
    Sorry for my bad English :-).

    a computer whose power LED flashes orange. I tried to read the error code is 01001010 = 4 Ah. I think my computer has a bit of a shock, but I'm not sure. It would be a failure but 3V but which?

    I tried to press and hold the power for 30 seconds and reconnect the power supply and the battery and nothing changes. I measured the voltage charger is about 19V.

    He had already put in this fashion several months ago, but has restarted.

    What can I do?

    3V resembles the RAM. Try a different RAM module.
    If it still does not respond, it may be a faulty motherboard.

  • Satellite Pro L650 turns off after start; DC In and Power LEDs blink on stop

    A friend Satellite Pro L650 having worked well until yesterday, all of a sudden turned itself off. Now, at startup, it lights up normally for about 10-15 seconds before turning off suddenly. Turned off, the DC in white/blue LED and the orange Power LED Flash on a broad set of intervals of approximately one second. This extinction happens if I leave Windows or press F2 to enter the BIOS setup.

    I guess this blinking is intended to serve as a kind of diagnostic code, but I have yet to track down what it means. Can anyone help?

    To avoid confusion, power without the product stack the same, sudden stop experience, except the two LEDs remain solidly lit this time. With or without battery, trying to turn on again immediately after that a shutdown produced no response at all. Remove the power cable and immediately it reconnect again and turn then produced a brutal power off, but in less than 5 seconds. More wait between attempts to market seems to give a little longer powered on State, but without fault, the machine turns off just suddenly. With its short time 'turned on' we are talking, there cannot be any kind of thermal protection?

    I had an old Satellite L450D lying around that uses coincidentally the same AC PA-1750 adapter, but use it made no difference. Of course, the battery does not have the L650!

    The only previous numbers, that I am aware of this machine have been intermittent case of Windows reporting "Plugged in, not charging", but as my friend use it exclusively on the network, it was not a problem.

    Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated...

  • Satellite A200-1ZF starts not flashing power led

    Today, my laptop Satellite A200-1ZF wouldn't start, instead, my power led flashes orange-orange-blue-orange-orange - blue and so on and so forth.
    The HDD led transforms the blues when I turn on the computer and seems to work fine (I hear the normal sound of market from the HARD drive).
    I tried to remove the RAM module to see if there is a fault in one of the modules, no help. I tried removing the battery and it works only on current alternative, also no help.

    Anyone have any idea?

  • Satellite Pro A120-151 - switch and power LED blinks

    My 120-151 will stop when I used it. On the laptop, the power LED flashes: short-long-long-short-short-short-long-short

    Anyone know what this error code?

    Hi mate,

    I had a similar problem which stops my Satellite A300 and the power light was blinking. This happens always after 1 or 2 minutes.

    I decided to contact an authorized service provider. Technicians control the laptop and fix it for me. The repair took only a few days and it was free because the laptop was still under warranty.

    I hope I could help a bit! :)
