The latitude E6400 LCD is dim/dark
I have a Latitude E6400 with Vista. When I boot, I see the bios and the running of State Bar. as soon as it starts at the window, the screen goes black/sun. I can still see, but it is very very light. It doesn't matter if it is on battery or AC is fine when I plug in an external display. I tried key fn and arrow making, but which was useless. could the backlit feature on the LCD is dead? any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am facing exactly the same problem with my computer laptop studio 1555. My research on line up to tell me that this is very probably the inverter which is bad.
The fact that it has very low picture indicates that the screen is probably ok.
A possible culprit is the hinge switch that turn off the screen when folded down. If this does not work when you lower and open on the external screen, my guess is that the switch is probably ok.
The third possibility is the backlight ccfl lamp. What I generally find people reporting is that the screen begins to turn red before the ccfl lamp turns off. If we do not face that then the lamp should probably be ok.
I'll order a new card of the inverter and replace it and pray with my fingers crossed.

Dell Latitude E6400 LCD / LED video screen has partial display of vertical lines
Hello
I have a Dell Latitude E6400 on which display LED screen / video shows the stable vertical lines in the right half of the screen (partial view on the left side is good, see photo). I have already tested the external VGA port - it is displayed correctly on an external LCD display. The vertical lines are constant and the same brightness, regardless of the position of the lid of the laptop. This could be a problem with the inverter or the water of the LED screen? Or something else? Thanks in advance for any comments.
P. S. Please note that glow Golden on the top left of the screen is just a reflection of ambient light.
It is not the inverter (assuming that the display has a); who simply controls the backlight. It may or may not be the cable - it's not likely. It resembles a billboard damaged.

(Dell Latitude E6400) Windows 7 64 bit Dell control point
I installed Windows 7 64 bit on my Latitude E6400. I can't find any way to install the Dell Control Point. I got the Pack of drivers to install. I found a single download of the Security Manager who has worked, but I would like to than the power one Manager.
I looked on this forum a few times and all the links I click redirect just me at the page downloads and drivers. I get an error saying that my service pack is not supported... I'm on Windows 7 Service Pack 1. I have also some 32-bit errors, but it's my fault to have downloaded the 32 bit version.
Someone has a link to the full package of checkpoint Dell (Power Manager, Manager of connections, Security Manager) that works on Windows 7 64 bit?
Thank you

1. what happens when you start the laptop, you receive no error message?
2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?
I suggest to remove the battery and connect the laptop to AC power and then try to start the computer to see if the problem is with the battery.
I suggest you to contact Dell support on the issue, as this can be a hardware problem.

Screen turns black during the installation of Windows 8 on Dell Latitude E6400
Hello
I have a Dell Latitude E6400
The specifications are:
Intel Centrino 2
4 GB OF DDR2 RAM
HARD DRIVE 160 GB
Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M 256 MB DDR2
I'm doing a clean install of Windows 8 pro 64 bit. The problem is that when I get to the stage where the installation application to connect to a wifi, all of a sudden, the screen goes black and then nothing happens. Sometimes I am able to move on to the next step where the installation process asks if I would like to use express settings or customize it. The same thing happens on this stage too. I could not go any further than this step.
I tried dozens of times, even tried 2 different iso files and event tried a 32-bit Windows 8.
Same thing happens evrytime, black screen and then nothing. I wasn't able to find that everything related to the internet.
One last thing, if it's a problem of display driver, I can't set either because I already formatted my HARD drive.
Can someone help me please:(c'est vraiment frustrant.)
Thank you

Running Vista 32
Service Tag 1MDXZ1S
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Normally this driver do not something other than what you have seen.
However, if you are not signed in, then obviously it has failed.
Now that I know you have the wireless card, then try the driver from the Dell support site for your model.

Hello desflo,
Thanks for the return of the response. First of all I suggest to go to the manufacturer's Web site and confirm that you are on the latest drivers, firmware and BIOS, updates. Does your computer have a diagnostic test included on your laptop provided by the manufacturer?
As you also experience this problem without using USB devices, I would suggest running the test of diagnosis or by contacting the manufacturer directly.
Please let us know status.

Latitude E6400, dell: HP officejet 4215 printer does not meet Dell computers
Dell latitude E6400 window 7 (directly connected to the printer), window of inspiron Dell 8 3520 (wireless), they do not meet the printer. I HP4215 like a printer by default on both computers, but I can't print anything. Please advise! Thank you!
Hello @azarita and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand that you are having problems printing from your system. I would like to help!
I would recommend you to do a power reset the printer. Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.
I suggest also download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

Latitude E6400 built-in Microphone does not
Hello. My machine is a Latitude E6400 running Windows 7 34 bit.
I bought used recently and found that the microphone (which, according to specifications must be built in) does not work.
I tried to check it is not cut, as well as turn the off/on it again. It is said it is active, but (in the recording devices), there is no upward movement/green line to show that is to record my voice. Setting up the microphone via the Control Panel does not work either.
I tried to install the Audio drivers from Dell, but it comes up with the following message is displayed:
"The hardware found is not supported by this package IDT.
The installation will be interrupted. »
I tried everything I can think of. Someone at - it other ideas on how to fix my microphone?
AshHollandmicrophone (which should be built according to specifications)I might have missed, but the single microphone that I see in the documentation of this model is in the assembly of the webcam at the top of the frame of the screen. The webcam has been a purchase option on this model. The webcam itself work? Because if it's not then either it is not or does not, and in both cases, the microphone does not work. If you have a program named Dell Webcam Central in your list of programs, then use it to control the webcam.
Even if the webcam works the microphone could become defective. You can get a replacement webcam people-parts.
You can also check in the BIOS. I don't know about your model, but some laptops have a mic option in the BIOS.

Go to this page and you can see all the drivers for Dell just introduced for the E6400.
http://downloads.Dell.com/published/pages/latitude-E6400.html
Try all the audio drivers Windows 7 IDT. If none work there is another problem with the laptop and I would suggest running a System Recovery if the seller has provided the recovery media, or if the recovery image is still on the hard drive. If you are able to perform a system restore and the microphone still does not work, then it is either missing or failed.

Dell Latitude E6400 running slow
I have a Dell Latitude E6400 - it has 4 GB of RAM and a processor 2.53 Ghz running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit - how is it is slow? I ran all the troubleshooting I can think, made malware scans, virus scans, and it is still slower than my other laptop that has 1 GB of RAM and a processor 1.73 Ghz - ideas? Thank you!
The problem is that the CPU is overheating and when it the fact that the processor at 800 mhz speed and stay there the CPU goes to 100% usage and the system dies. I had this problem for 2 years before I understood what it was. I took off the bottom of the computer (a screw in the middle). Removed the heatsink to the CPU/GPU and cooling fan. I have removable fan and removed the therma spent the CPU and the GPU thermal pad. I have then divide a tube of thermal paste Arctic Silver 5 Radio Shack ($10) and replaced the heat sink and let it heal from one day to the next. I also bought a block of cooling fan powered to the computer but never needed to use it. The machine works like a monkey assed stipped running multiple video streams at the same time and cool enough to keep al running stayng. I was ready to relegate this machine to a storage device, but now it it GREAT. Good luck
