Dell Xps 1530 Views
I canC’t describe how lucky and thankful I was during my last trip to KL before my flight back to Australia. A friend of mine, Cxlim who previously said e“no(” to my cleaning offer asked me to disassemble and clean his laptop. I replied casually, p“What choice do I have?4” deep in my heart, the drum was beating and all I could say to myself is <“hell yeah!m” because it ’s the popular XPS series, The Dell XPS M1530.
I have a dell xps m1530. Your step by step has been so helpful. I had a 3year warranty with dell and they did not inform me that it was up so it lapsed and I have had to do much of the work on my on. Your photos and explanations are excellent. Now, on to my problem. My blueray DVD drive has been working on and off. It shows up under My Computer about 1/2 the time. I can restart and it will sometimes recognize it. I have updated drivers, but now at a loss. Most recently, I put a DVD in and it wont come out. I have tried everything. The only thing I can think of is I need to take it out but your tutorial does not go into depth about that drive. I assume that is because it is not a good idea to remove it. Please advise what my best options are.
So!…a glass of margarita was knocked over on my Dell XPS M1530. I flipped it over n thought OK got out the liquid (as most of it ended up on the table). Then the next day voila …sticky keys. I tried cleaning it but its hard to get under the keys. I decided to try n take my laptop apart to get to the keyboard. That ’s when I noticed in some parts there were sticky residue from the margarita. I used alcohol to clean it up. BUT I could not get three screws in the back loose and I think in my attempt in doing so I have stripped a screw. Oo
For the Dell XPS M1530, I have a CD drive that is not working. I accidently have inserted a CD twice into it. Pressing eject makes noise. Also, at boot time it makes noise but the drive does not read the CD or eject it. My brother seems to have found a reasonably reliable but risky solution. He uses a small swiss army set.’s thin blade and sticks it in about half inch (maximum). When you move this sideways in the CD slot without inserting it more than 1/2 in., you will feel a little raise portion (button ?) in the middle. Press that button while pressing the eject button and it works. Definitely risky and not a recommended solution but one that may be tried if really needed.
