Dell XPS420 @4.32GHz

02-03-2022, 10:20 PM

I finally quit screwing around with Optiplexes and lit the fuse on an XPS420. QX9650, 12GB DDR2 800, GTX1660TI, 2x 120GB SSD in RAID0.
150x50mm Delta 2cpu workstation fan, and XPS720 BTX heatpipe cooler.
13x333 1.425V. and holding about 70*c. Dell wait too long to speed up the fan. and I'm just using a theram; pad so far. Lapping, TIM, and tuned fan profile are coming next.
CPUZ base score 270/1049
OC score 390/1495
I haven't connected it to the internet yet so no benchmarks.

Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?

by Bowline

My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

Looking for Dell Latitude 5520 / 5530 / 5540 RJ45 network connector replacement

by diamon

I have a Dell Latitude 5530 with a damaged RJ45 network connector. See the attached pictures.

Have already searched on Farnell / Aliexpress / Ebay and had contact with several suppliers on Aliexpress and Ebay, but they cannot deliver this connector.
Is there someone inside the EU, who has these connector(s) or perhaps defective motherboard(s) for these laptop models I have mentioned in the topic title.

Dell G5 SE 5505 - "Invalid memory installed" after BIOS update.

by lalle-

Hello!

I have a problem with a Dell G5 SE 5505 laptop that I hope someone can give me a few pointers on.
[OK, it's not really a laptop, I'm running the motherboard on my desktop with only cooling, RAM and an M2 drive attached.]
I had some performance issues, so I decided to update my BIOS from 1.7.0 to the latest version, 1.20.0.
The computer restarted and the update dit not want to continue without a battery connected, even though I used dell's method of bypassing this requirement.
I tried updating to a custom BIOS from Reddit user Satori_Nori https://www...

**Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**

by federalhouse

Hi everyone,

I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.

**Background:**

I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.

**What I've Tried So Far:**

1. I accessed...
