  • XPS M1730 will not boot

    I woke up this morning and went to check my E-Mail and found my six month old XPS M1730 sitting there with a blank screen. I left it on over night to download some files as I normally do. The power LED was on and my brick was working. I thought that it went into stand-by and was just hung so I hard-rebooted...

  • Running duel external monitors from an XPS 1730 laptop

    I have an XPS 1730 (twin 8700m GT and physics card) which I would like to run 2 external iiyama 24 inch monitors from. I purchased a DVI splitter but its not working for me. I get pixelation and the machine only recognises a single monitor (i.e. the same output to both external monitors). The laptop...

  • Laptop XPS M1730 Hot by name, HOT by nature !

    I’ve had my laptop now for about a month. Apart from the 17” screen, as a gamer I reckon its greatest asset is the twin NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX graphics cards run in SLI mode with a gig of memory between them. But I am amazed at how much heat these, along with the processor, are pumping...

  • XPS M1730 230W DC Jack?

    Good Evening. I have an M1730, which recently fell while I was away (pesky Animals). It damaged the DC Jack on the Motherboard, breaking the data center Pin. I looked online for a replacement Jack, and - finding only one Type - ordered one. The Problem is that what I ordered was too small, and as it...

  • XPS M1730 Clock Speed Confusion

    I've been struggling for a week now to understand why I sometimes get such *** performance when playing WoW on my XPS M1730. I started getting serious slowdowns, especially during raids, where my CPU would hit 100%, my in-game FPS would drop to 1-3fps, and my sound would stutter (both in-game and...

  • Re: XPS M1730 Second Hard Drive Installation Help

    Hi Thank you again for your kind help. I haven't see anything like that in the BIOS. It has a SATA Configuration under the Onboard Configuration. This is where you select RAID/Auto Detect RAID... and so on. I am at work and laptop is at home. Therefore, I cannot list out all the available command...

  • Same Issue As Others - M1730 Black Screen on Battery Boot

    Well, check this out: About a month ago, I pulled my brand new XPS M1730 from the box. Tried to boot it - and got the black screen. It worked on AC power - just like everything else. I tried some of the fixes in the forum to no avail. I contacted customer support - they tried to fix it - no good. They...

  • XPS M1730 Off Dell Canada's Website?

    I know they are pushing Alienware now. It only makes sense not to compete with yourself right? This is the first time however I cannot find any reference (except drivers etc) to the 1730 on Dell.ca Maybe they are simply updating the site, or waiting for build components, who knows. maybe it's end...

  • 2 "Problems" with XPS M1730

    I just recently bought the XPS M1730, and I absolutely love it. However, I'm still not completely familiar with it. I have two "problems" that the owner's manual doesn't explain, so I thought I'd come here and see what you guys had to say. These problems strike me as relatively...
