M6600 Owners Thread

Looks like imminent GPU failure. If you can try to run dell diagnostic, pressing f12 during post and going into diagnostic menu.
If you are still under warranty - contact Dell asap - if you are you should get firepro m6100 which is a nice upgrade, if you are not - you can contact me for a nvidia quadro 4000m i have for sale

 

You've got Quadro 4000M ? how many GB memory is it & how much cost

Since I shamelessly went off topic with my sale i would recommend we move that discussion either to PM or to my sale topic. Link to my add.

 

@daydark those are good results with decent framerates, but I was hoping you would include the Temps as well. Although you have a different GPU I'm still interested. I really want to swap the 6970M for a 7970M but I live in Pakistan

 

Temperatures are listed max 70 for both cpu and gpu during 1 hour of metro last light benchmark.

I had to rebuild this same laptop Dell Precision M6600. Dell ATI M8900 driver Win 7 64bit failed install. I installed by removing Visual C C++ back to 2008 version. Driver installs a V C C++ 2010 Ver. I get black screens on boot. Still working on. Did you have any luck ?

 

Hello!

I am getting ready to perform a cpu upgrade on my m6600. I am swapping my current i7-2620m for a i7-2860. I have never done this before, so I'm a bit nervous. From what I have read, it seems as though it is a pretty straight forward process. Does anyone have any advice on applying the thermal compound? Any other advice to ease my nervousness would be greatly appreciated! =)

Thanks!

 

The processor upgrade went by without a hitch. Idle temperatures on all cores are mid to upper 30c. Temps after 20 minutes of a prime95 stress test with all cores firing at 100% are at upper 60c.

Thanks

 

30/60*C ...amazing! What was indoor temperature? What thermal compound did you use?

 

Hi All,

This is my first post in this thread, so greetings.

The touchscreen on my M6600 has ceased to work properly in the lower left-hand 1/6th of the display. I found a video on YouTube that talks about using a heat gun on wires that surround the digitizer to get it going again. Assuming that doesn't work, could someone tell me please, is all I need to do is replace it with part number K57WM? That's the part number for the Chimei Innolux (LG?) display - which I'm assuming I have, since that appears to be the more common part. Can I also assume that the whole of the parts required for the touchscreen are integrated into that part? So I wouldn't need anything else?

I looked at the manual (pages 91-94) and it appears that the touchscreen is integrated with the display panel. I'd just like to be absolutely certain before I spend the money on the part.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
