@Wpbdude
Yes, that is what I have encountered before too! What I have done is not replace the blue putty unless I have confirmation from Dell to do so.

However, the blue putty are used for the chips beside the processor. The processor itself are still using thermal compound to transfer heat to the heat pipes

Dude, I’m getting ready to put it all back together but: the thermal stuff over two of the board chips to be cooled by conduction of capper pipe is insulated with some lit blue silly putty– as opposed to the siver thermal compound I’m about to repalce over the processor—whats the diff? am i missing something here?

You are very skilled in explaining “How To…” I have never befor I came across your side here had the currage to disassemble my laptop.
Thank You so much! Do you have any thoughts that you could share, about my problem describde below? Many thank from Grama Maggan in Sweden

I have a very curious problem-my Dell Latitude D610 XP sp3 Swedish won´t start from the power button on the keyboard. The problem started after a faulty release from a D-serie docking station (didn´t use the secure release commando under “Start” in windows or the button on the docking station). I have done this to try to make it work:

Put the laptop back in the docking-station and undocked it with the right procedures- one time from the computer´s commando and one time from the docking-stations release button.

Taken out the battery, waited 10 minutes, put it back in and tried to start but no reaction from the laptop.

Taken out the battery and tried to start with only the power cable = no reaction from the laptop

No battery, holding in the button for 10 seconds, no sound, no buzz no nothing but no reaction.

Tried to repair it from XP installation-disc but no luck…..

Are there components to the power-button that I can replace?

Something else I can try? Anyone that have other ideas? What do I have to replace, if anything? ………………..MiloSwed

Hi James,

Just an hour ago my dell latitude d610 fell ou of my hands… :(
When I pressed the power button, it wouldn’t give any image or waht so ever.
Until the system (Kubuntu) was booted, the it gave a wierd green screen (not what it’s ment to be). So I started to search the intenet for a complete disassembly toturial and I found one, yours! :)
Now at last I found the problem, the display connector fell loose…
Well I guess I could say my wallet is saved…

Clue of the whole story:

Thank you very very much for posting this artikel. It really helped me!

Thanks again!

73 and greetings, Niels Webster the PD7IHN.

(ps: I’m from Holland, si I hope my English is undestandable…)

If still facing problem in dissembling the laptop, you should have to be aware of laptop repair training, so as you should not face any problem.

on the latitude D610 I found that the on/off board plug on mother board becomes unsolder d that’s why you have to push down on the on/off board

hi, I have a d610 and thepcmcia slot has just stopped working. My wireless card used to work but now doesn’t light up and system doesn’t recognise it. Do you think it could be a power issue?

I have a Dell laptop D610. It will not start. No signs of life. No lights, no nothing. This is true whether I’m trying to power it up with just the battery, the power adapter plugged in, or if the laptop is in the docking station. The power adapter has the green light on, and the docking station has the green docking light on. Any help would be appreciated.
