hi,,i bought this laptop..itz good but i wanna know about the fan.. Where from does it blow the air out..?The problem i am facing is when i put it down on surface,,it seems i am blocking its fan air opening & it heats up that way..but i saw the opening of fan at bottom of display in between the joint..If it is coming out from bottom then this laptop is full of crap as there is no way we can use laptop without putting it down../
yes the fan is at the bottom, but the rubber strips at the bottom and top lift the laptop up a bit, alowing to the air to flow. when i game i put a book under the back strip (not covering the fan ofcourse) so it has more room to flow
I was wondering if I could add an MSata drive to this model. Some seem to have it from the factory. Mine doesn’t.
hey i was wondering if u cud help me in fixing the lag problem..I checked the specs of AMD r7 m265 card & it clearly shows it works perfectly on 1366×768 resolution..Mine has 1920x1080p & games lag alot..Then i have to drag it down to 1366×768 to be able to play games..but the quality is way too bad..I know i have an HD screen but is there any way i cud play games on 1366 res like any1 with the same native res plays..If i buy an external monitor with low res. Will it solve my problem or do i have to get it replaced from Dell.??
I got the same motherboard only i got the 4 gen i7 processor.
i saw the graphics card too but how can i remove the graphics card?
ia it even possible?
I took my computer apart up to taking out the motherbord (I removed the bottom case, didnt touch the motherboard) to fix one of the left (on the bottom, by the motherboard) hinge screw threads. After reassembly and pressing the power button, I’m getting 8 beeps and a black screen. The Internet says this is an LCD issue, so I unplugged and plugged the display ( the wire with the black tape next to the fan) to make sure it was in place. Nothing. I got it to display through hdmi to another monitor once yesterday by holding D at startup, but not since. Its not responding to esc, f12, d, fn. I don’t know what happened and I don’t know how to fix it. Please help.

Good day,
I try to replace my hard drive with the same specification from the existing one the only difference is that it has a pre0-installed Windows 7 pro.instead of Windows 10. The problem that I am encountering now is that when I turn on my laptop with HDD (Windows 7 installed) it only display “Checking Media.fail” and when I check my BIOS the setting was like thi.
UEFI Boot
UEFI onboard LAN IPv4
UEFI onboard LAN IPv6..
I guess My HDD was not recognize.
I try to disable the secure boot. Please see below setting:
Secure Boot :
Load Legacy Option ROM:
Boot List Option
What should I do to proceed the windows??
