• Upgrading RAM Dell Dimension 4700

  Hi all

  OK I will try once again to this type. The first time I tried to type this my Surface frozen without reason and had to be properly closed. OK, I'll update the RAM on my Dell Dimension 4700 and I need help and advice before I do. My Dell says it has 0.99 GB of RAM installed. I looked inside and found that there are two sticks of 512 MB of RAM. I found (2 sticks of 1 GB) 2GB of RAM for Dell Dimension 4700 at amazon.com and intend to purchase that. So when I update the RAM I get two sticks of 512 MB and replaced with new 2 sticks of 1 GB from amazon? Are there precautions should I take? (In addition to wear an anti-static wristband) Thank you.

  Before you buy, go to http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner

  Download and run the Crucial scanner.  This will tell you:

  • supports memory of how many are in your computer
  • How much memory is in each
  • the maximum memory that can be installed on your computer and how
  • the right kind of RAM in your computer

  Do not buy crucial, but pay attention to what the scanner says that you need.

  In short, if you have only two supports from memory, then Yes, you need to remove the memory that is in them to put in new RAM.  However, just because you can buy two memory modules of 1 GB does not necessarily that your motherboard will accept them.

  When replacing memory.

  See http://www.crucial.com/wcsstore/CrucialSAS/pdf/install-guides/ram/crucial-dram-install-guide-en.pdf

  • take precautions against static - touch the chassis first; do not touch the contacts of the RAM modules
  • Unlock the pliers and pull it up
  • Orient the new module properly - there is usually only one way correct to put in - and push straight down firmly, but without wavering until closing locks.

• Dell Dimension 4700 solid Amber Light but now nothing

  A few months ago my Dell Dimension 4700 does not, he just had a solid clear amber.  So I read on the forum and I replaced the memory and the computer booted.  It lasted for about 6 weeks, and then I got the amber light again.  So I moved the memory and used an eraser to remove static.  Still had a yellow light.  Then a few days ago I had no amber lights - nothing.  So I bought a pwer supply and installed today and it still does not work!  Any suggestions?

  Thanks a lot for your helo!  I bought a power supply, but was still the question, so I bought a motherboard and my computer is a race!   Thanks again!

• Dell Dimension 4700 upgrade tips Help!

  Hello Dell Community, I currently have a Dell Dimension 4700 and hoped to upgrade my computer to a computer game, with a budget of around $100-200.

  I wonder as to the game going, that upgrades would produce the biggest change and progress in the game? I'm hoping to improve up to 2 GB of Ram and add a video card, but don't know if it is the best choice to go.

  I have studied this subject and found several posts in the forums, but they were all overwhelmed and I hope to get some knowledge as well as recent graphics cards or Ram that can improve my FPS in game and all around my budget. Thank you.

  Sorry, but there are very few, you can upgrade on a child of seven years 'obsolete' 4700, to make a system of 'game '.

  Better to put the money upgrade, to buying new desktop PC.

• In the notification area, volume, network and power icons have disappeared.

  In the notification area, volume, network and power icons have disappeared. When I go into properties, in the area of system icons the same selections are grey, when I click on them that no check mark. How to make the grey selections to become black (active), so when I click on them the check marks appear?

  Try these steps and check if that helps:

  ** Turn it back on. Sometimes a reboot will solve this problem.* *.

  1. close all programs and stop the laptop.

  2. remove all power supplies (battery and power cord)

  3. empty the remaining power by pressing the power on button for 30 seconds (even if you have no power).

  4. put the battery back and start the computer

  5. once fully loaded, right-click on the system tray and select Properties.

  6. This will bring to the top of the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog box. The "Notification area" tab.

  7. at the bottom of the tab, is the area 'icons systems. " There is a checkbox for "Power". "check" the box and click on apply or OK.

  Also update your graphics card drivers.

  It works! Tanks a lot Johnny D.81!

• Failures of Dell Dimension 4700

  Hello! This is my first post. I came here for support on one of my older Dell systems today, my only first. (I did recently acquired another). It was my first computer, a helping hand me down from my parents back in 2011. He never ran well. I blamed it on a lot of things to the wire of time, starting with the aging of processor Pentium 4, bad caps on the motherboard to hard drive errors. USB works, extremely slow performance, stops and weird/sali post codes at the start are all symptoms. Once I hit him (not very hard) once out of frustration and she completely restarted. Then, it worked fine for months. This weekend, however, I was reached behind the unit to plug in a USB key (the front USBs long quit date, as I mentioned above) and it stops without any sign of restart. I have tried unplugging for a while, and then reconnect (it worked in the past, it has happened before), but it did not help. I checked on the inside, and the Green LED on the motherboard was off. Then, I started to suspect the PSU. A paper clip test confirmed my suspicions... and I could see the capacitors that have failed inside during the inspection below. I tested the power supply that failed but in my other 4700, and it failed. I borrowed the PSU work from this computer and put it in one with faulty POWER, but instead of starting block flashes an orange light by the power button. The power failure took the motherboard with it: (?) Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

  Is the power button LED, solid or flashing and what color?

  What is the reading of the 4 on the rear panel diagnostic lights?

  The tool and Dimension 4700 Service Manual/Diagnostic Guides are here:

  Are there messages of error, or 'tweets '?

  Yes, it is possible that the motherboard is shorted [aka fried]

• Dell Dimension 4600 with pack 1 XP does not connect to the cable modem

  Hello, I have a Dell Dimension 4600 older XP. The hard drive is dead and I replaced and then reloaded pack 1 with the intention of making all the revisions on the internet. The problem is that I cannot now connect to the internet via my broadband router directly connected to the computer. It seems that the wizard to connect only wants to use the dial upward and does not connect to the router. Just recompose. It seems to ignore the connection from the router to broadband and wants to use the dial upward only.

  Go to control panel of control/Internet options/connections, then set it - never establish a connection - then click on apply.

• Problem activating Windows XP Pro on a Dell Dimension 4600, which originally had XP Home

  I have some difficulty to activate MY PERSONALLY PURCHASED VERSION of Windows XP Pro on a Dell Dimension 4600 workstation that initially provided with XP Home.  I have TWO Codes of 25 character key true = 1 The printed on the sticker on the computer AND the one supplied with the disk I bought for my laptop that was stolen last week.  I entered two key during the windows process codes activate and they the system tells me invalid or incorrect product key code.  I WAS talking with a Microsoft Tech Rep on the phone trying to solve this problem and has been disconnected when put on "Hold" and now cannot get through to a real person again.  CAN SOMEONE ' ONE/SOMEONE' HELP ME PLEASE?

  Hello

  Both your XP, the laptop and the Dell operating systems will have been oem licenses. OEM licenses are tied to the computer that they were originally installed on. In regards to the Pro license you can see in your report where is says Windows license Type: OEM System Builder.

  The only XP version that can be legally charged to your Dimension is one that has been provided with it by Dell, i.e. the XP Home license.

  activation of character for home 25 codes do not work with the Pro, the reverse is also true.

• Installing drivers after Windows XP reinstall on Dell Dimension 2350 with Dell resource disk

  Hi all

  Recently, I did a clean reinstall of Windows XP (home edition) on my Dell Dimension 2350. Everything went well. Now, I need to install the appropriate drivers. I have the Dell resource disk and this is where the problem starts.
  As noted elsewhere, after reinstallation of that display on the screen of the disk resource is as it is in 'Safe Mode '. I was aware of this. Therefore, the search criteria screen resources drive was a little bigger than the screen of the monitor. I managed to its size to fit the screen, but this really isn't the problem, is the following: the search criteria options I have in the dropdown menus (on screen) are the following:

  System model: all, DXC061, DXP0G1 Dimension, Dimension E521, DM061, Dimension C521, XPS710 (who, if necessary, to choose?)

  Operating system: (I think I got this one) all, Windows XP

  Topic: (maybe this one too), Dell Diagnostics, Diagnostics, drivers, Applications, utilities

  For the life of me I can't understand the correct drivers, I am to install *. Windows XP appears in the menu of the operating system. I know enough about the order of installation, but as I said, I'm a little confused on the selection of the drivers from the disc. This computer is not connected to the internet at the moment so I can't download and use any kind of pilot program. Other research have confused me more far and provided no precise answer to this problem.
  If anyone can enlighten me on the solution step by step to this (I think "Dell resource disk for Dummies"), I would be extremely grateful.

  Thank you all!

  * If it will help, I went in (with "Show Hidden Files" active) Device Manager and it shows (with the yellow question mark) are:
  Other devices: Ethernet Controller, multimedia Audio Controller, video controller (VGA Compatible).

    

  You need, in the order of installation:

  1. Driver Chipset
  2. Video driver (depends on what video card)
  3. Audio driver
  4. Network driver (depends on who you are)
  5. Modem driver, if you are using a modem

  Go to the Support page and put in your Service tag. He expected to give you the drivers you need. You can download them to any PC and copy it to a USB key for installation on 2350.

  You only need applications, if you actually use them (for example, Roxio, Jasc Paintshop, etc.).

  Then install your antiviral software and get in line on the Microsoft Update site for all patches and updates.

  Please keep in mind that XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, and they stopped release of the security fixes for XP and IE9, more than 1 year. So they're all two full of security holes and put your data personal in danger.

• Replacement of a card mother Dell Dimension 3000 with a Dimension 4600 motherboard

  Recently I replaced my processor in my Dell Dimension 3000, however, at the start he always tells me that the processer is not supported by the Bios, so I still have to press F1 to start upward. I heard you can counter this is replacing the Board with a Board of a Dimension 4600 however, I know not what condition the Board of Directors must be in. Can I replace it with a Board of direct administration of a Dimension 4600 or what I need to get a referbished or the new Board of Directors?

  scprokop

  A work of a Dimension 4600 motherboard can be used, provided it is in a usable state.

  As the Dimension 4600 is obsolete for many years, I doubt there is very no new motherboards available, only the so-called "renovated" boards, which are 'pull system '.

  Get out all the ram and put 1 piece at a time and or disconnect power to the hard drive and turn on.

  Post it with hard drive error or did not post it at all.

  The age of the system means that the drive is probably dead.

  There is no sweet miracle for physical hardware failure.

  Problem started with a code 39 error code when cumputer did not recognize the readers of CD rom. cure the problem of recognition, but still cannot read any DVD or CD should I replace the disk driver

  I had the same problem - the computer showed cd/dvd players, but he has not read cd'dvd. I showed it to a computer repair man and he said if reinstalling drivers does not help, then this means that there is a hardware problem and you will need to purchase a new cd/dvd-rom...
  I bought a new drive and now the problem is gone!
