E6410 Owner's Thread

It didn't work....

but this one work:
v189.74 Windows 7/Vista 64bit | Dell Mobile - LaptopVideo2Go Forums

You need to use the INF modified. of course it's not digitally signed driver
but it took care of the choppy mouse movement.

I also switch to the latest Intel storage driver 9.6 (direct Intel download)

will test latency soon

 

Can anyone else report their idle temperature using Core Temp? I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks for your feedback. I am probably more of a novice than most on this forum and i don't fully understand what the "Live CD" is? Is there a utility that I can run within Win 7 (I have Ultimate 64 Bit) or perhaps on a reboot? Or does anyone have any step-by-step instructions?

Sorry to bother everyone but I sincerely appreciate the help.

Thanks again,
Jeremy

 

Ah, This Live CD is pretty cool. Linux is a VERY flexible Operating System... so flexible that you can make it do about anything you want.
A Live CD means that you have Linux already installed on a optical disk like a CD or DVD, instead of your hard drive. Basically the approach of Linux is that it doesn't mater where it is installed... it installs. Now you probably wonder, if the OS will run on your system, I mean you need to put the drivers that reflect ones system, right? Well Linux is smart, it knows that it changed system, and instead of panicking, it adapts itself to the new environment it is in. So what we have:

We have a CD that has Linux on.. all you need to do is boot from the CD, like you would as if you are installing Windows, and that is it. Linux will boot and run with everything on your system. It has basic needed drivers and generic drivers to support all systems, it will detect your system, and load everything accordingly without touching your hard drive, nor affecting Windows.

The down side of Live CD's, is that it doesn't touch your HDD, so this means you can not save files on your desktop and so on, you cannot install new program, you can't even update Linux on it. But what you CAN do, is run it's built-in application that already are the disk itself, such as the advance partition manager.

Here is more information on the Linux solutions:
- Tutorial to use Linux to partition your system: Partition and Image Your Hard Drive with the System Rescue CD - Downloads - Lifehacker

Of course, they are advance partition manager software for Windows, like Paragon Partition Manager, this is one I like. But, that is a paying software. Here is a free one: Partition Logic - Download

The above utility doesn't run IN Windows, You can't run any Operating Systems while partitioning your drives, because data moves, and this is why Windows own partition manager is very limited in features, a sit can't move data on the the disk while being in Windows.

 

Don't know which arrandale you want, but here is my i5-520m.

 

It is still the same crappy Wave Embassy software as for the 6400. No native support. It does not show up under Biometric Devices.

 

Is this from a 6410? Mine is always around 50 degrees celcius. Crap.

 

Do you suppose taking it apart, lapping the heatsink, and reapplying arctic silver voids the warranty?

 

Has anyone else had any problems with their cursor hesitating/briefly getting "stuck" in one place while using the trackpoint? It does not seem to happen while using the trackpad.

If so, any solutions out there?

 

Yes, try turning down the "touchguard" in the touchstick settings.
