I have a 6 yr old Dell Latitude D500 and the only thing that gets hot is the hard drive.

I have a 1330 as well, and paid a lot for it... After just under a year (thank god warentee wasn't up yet) Had these kind of issues. The basically replaced the unit for free (new graphics card and motherboard) after about another year the same early symptoms I noticed before are happening again. Not to mention the fans are always on and at times parts of the out unit become so hot that when you touch it, it almost feels like you're going to get burnt. Chance I buy from dell again... next to none

I had one of this and I told to Dell I want my money back

I remember at my old school they had dell desktops that were around 3 years old in a comp. lab, and the students were always supervised. Despite that, over half of them were broken in some way. There were several where neither of the 2 usb ports on the front worked at all. Some appeared to have a flakey hard drive because files would randomly disappear. The worst I remember was when I plugged my jumpdrive into a comp & it froze, then I found that the stupid thing had erased the jumpdrive!

most likely it is an issue with your tft matrix controller. id say bad screen before id say bad gpu

[gzulrocknroll]

Dell has extended the warranty on XPS M1330 GPU related issues by 12 months and there is a new A15 BIOS update on their site. Apparently NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang and CFO Marvin Burkett knew about the issue and tried to hide it leading to a massive lawsuit.

That's your graphics card breaking. If it isn't broken yet, the heat made a flaw in your graphics card worse, and it will completely break in the near future.

if you are confused you can request a tutorial

[Pizzscn]

That is very easy to fix. You may have a loose graphics plug in your screen. First you need to find out how to get to your screen (maybe research on how to remove/replace the screen on your model), then, once you can get to the back of the screen without completely removing it, push on the plug with the "ribben of wires". This is the plug that tranferes the image to the screen. Now put it all back together and VOLA!!

Another very bad thing about this del xps: starting from bios A11, Dell introduced a "thermal control" improvement which actually means "your fan will be almost always running at medium to max speed". This is because nvidia publicly announced a serious issue with the 8400 chip.

DEL XPS actually is VERY NOISY, and the machine is still extremely hot... I'm very disappointed.

[PhelpyMaestro]

this has happened twice to me, but they fixed it the next day. warranty ran out now though!

[mayconmrp]

I sold so many XPS 1330 I had the same problem with all of them, GRaphic Card , Dell should make a Recall in all of machines!!!

change your graphic card and check your main board

[ScaraFace]

can u do that? change a graphic card of LAPTOP?

[gr4zuoliuk4s]

Yes its possible, but if you still have your warranty dont do it by your self and if isn't integrated.
