Here is a good one. I recently bought an XPS 1640 from everyones favourite online auction site for a fantastic price. Spares or repairs, you know the deal. Anyway, laptop boots to BIOS and I can change any option within BIOS. It sees all devices I want to attach to it in BIOS. It will not boot to any device, whether it is a USB stick, DVD/CD, hard drive etc etc. It just goes into a restart ...

I am generally pleased with my XPS 1640 BUT I cannot do anything on the dell web sit, because it won't accept the Service Tag on the laptop as valid, which prevents me from adding the system to my account and getting customer support. A live chat with a sales representative led to one (and only one) solution - call the Dell support number during office hours. Well, funnily enough I am at work...

I bought the XPS 1640 for my first year of college, and for the three months I've had it it's been a great peformer. However, recently, it has started to act up. For example, the silver metal frame around the keyboard has started to come off on the left side and it's been getting difficult to type with its keyboard. WIth the keyboard, I'm not sure if it's a physical thing with stuff in between/...

I've recently noticed a strange ticking noise coming from my new Dell Studio XPS 1640, always accompanied by a spike in lag. This is a recent development, only having started within the last couple of days. I first noticed it while playing WoW -- I would occasionally experience lag spikes (sound would "skip" like on a CD, video would freeze, everything would just hang) and I would hear a ...

I have Canon 1640 laser printer. After the first toner cart was used up I switched to a half used one. After printing hundreds of pages the second cart was exhausted. So I put in a new cart. Unfortunately it is still showing "toner out" and won't print. Does this have a chip or other sofware setting I need to reset?

I just received my XPS 1640 with the Blue Ray Burner. I was trying to playback a Blue Ray movie and the experience was aweful. Every few minutes the drive would make many reads to the disk which caused sever stuttering and movie stoppage. This would last for about 15 seconds and resume normally. I of course tried several Blue ray movies with the same results. The disks are perfectly clean with ...

I recently bought the 1640 and didn't read the information about the video card carefully enough - so now I can't watch DVDs, load some websites, etc. Can I get an upgrade to the better card?

I have a BenQ DW 1640. After going to the BenQ support page I have found that they do not have support for this product no longer and no downloads. I'm looking to see what is the latest and/or most reccomended firmware and driver. Also, where to get it? I'm a little cautious downloading from any of those 'driver update' sites since quite a few have been flagged as BS. I'm running Vista ...

I own a Dell Studio xps 1640. I've clean installed Win 7 beta & every build up to & including to the Final Pro 7. All 64bit. I love my laptop. Windows 7 is fantastic. My only issue has been with the HD Radeon 3670 card it came with. Only version 9.4 (for the beta & RC ) ever installed correctly. Maybe this is relevant to some gamer mod master:-) Only 9.9 installs @ all with 7 Pro. By "...

On my Dell XPS 1640 running W7 Pro, 64 bit with an internal Dell BT 370 card, I have been unable to associate any BT devices. On isolated occasions, the BT devices have shown up in the BT device dialog box but will not connect. In those instances there are no services shown under the Services tab of the device properties (the BT service is running under services). Most of the time, the Add A ...

http://games.espn.go.com/fba/clubhouse?leagueId=16 40&teamId=5&seasonId=2010 Fortuantely, they are 3 keepers and you don't even have to keep everyone. It's an auction too so you can always restock in the draft next year. Not first come first serve. Blakesmith and Gatorsfan don't bother.
