I had too many Precisions and too little time

[Wasmachineman_NL]

My original M40 will also have a working screen in the future, since I bought two Inspiron 8000 UXGA screens earlier today. Hope they'll arrive in one piece to my USA contact.

In other news, I have taken apart the M6800 and replaced the thermal pad. Still getting EDC Current throttling, guess i'll chalk that up to the VRM being horribly underspecced for a power limit removed 4940MX.

You really need to watercool all your Precisions >;-}

Don't have a universal block and I can't be arsed to pay some stupid amount of money for one.

Very nice, I bought a M90 with a FX 3500M on a whim for the GPU, GPU ended up being one after the recall in 2008 so it's post-Bumpgate

I am about to commit sacrilege: selling my M6800 Covet. I just don't use the stupid thing and it's wasted money leaving it in my drawer. Money I could instead be spending on something more useful, especially these days.

god damn it I sold the M6800, and guess what that guy who bought it said: "hey there's a red M6700 on Marktplaats right now!"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Wow it's sold already, hope it went to another enthusiast!

And so my Precision collection becomes smaller every day. Someone on YT of all things has shown interest in both my M40 and M50 and we agreed upon a price.

I'll need to sort shipping to the USA though. Ouch!

He also expressed interest in my other Precisions but is short on cash right now. I'm already glad I can sell off my two oldest Precisions since I don't use them anyway. I'll be keeping the M70, M90, M6300 ES, M6400 Covet and M6500 Covet though, still contemplating selling the M6600.

In other news, I finally got XP x64 to work on my M6600! Will reinstall Win7 on MBR later so I don't have to screw around with changing from UEFI to BIOS all the time.

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

M40, M50 and M4500 gone now. Good, space is nice, filling the ghost town that is my wallet even more so!

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

Well since i'm in need of money and I don't even use them that often I decided to pretty much sell off all Precisions at this point.

Think i'll only keep the M6600 since it's the fastest of them all and the M6500 Covet because it's the machine with the most memories.

In other news, the M40 and M50 safely arrived at their new owner!

Hello!

I'm having trouble assembling a new display panel for my old laptop Precision M4400.

I ordered the supposedly correct components, but something is not working.

Where am I wrong?

I see you have a collection of Dell laptops.

Can you give me some advice?

 

[TRANTOR]

The inverter is wrong, the cover must be different?
The inverter has two connectors, but I don't see any cables for them.
Do I need additional cables, from where, what?

You've got a RGBLED screen which doesn't require a inverter IIRC, you do need the right display cable though.

Thanks!
Can you tell me the model of the cable or a picture of it?
I don't know exactly what to look for.
I saw in your earlier post that you ordered the same parts as me, you should know how you fit things together.
My ribbon cable says it's for an RGB LED display and I can't find another one anywhere.
Maybe I'll just have to plug in and I'll be fine?
But why is the other little connector on the display, that bothers me?!?
I'll try to test with what's available these days, see if it works.

I'm pretty sure the other plug is unused. H161K is the cable you need.

Почти съм сигурен, че другият щепсел е неизползван. H161K е кабелът, от който се нуждаете.

Thank you!
