hiya James,
Great stuff, saved myself some money today! Screen of my 6400 went dead yesterday, after a toy of the kids crashed onto it. With the help of you excellent guide, managed to disassemble and assemble it all together again, and working! The plug of the antenna/display was unplugged, and the sticky stuff inside wasn’t sticky anymore, it kinda unwrapped. I took a mini drop of glue, almost invisible, but enough to make it sticky again, and its back together. Plugged it in, and about 30 mins later my 6400 works like a charm again!
@Ravi: Any way to add the seemingly broken HDD as a Slave? I recovered data of seemingly broken HDD’s by adding it as an Slave to a new Master HDD multiple times.

Hi James,

Thanks for your response. I bought a external hard drive casing and received the same error. No bootable device found!!! So i have bought a new hard drive and it stated working proplely as a internal hard drive.
Problem solved.

But the old hard drive seems to be dead!!!

Rgrds,

Ravi.

Hey man, you mentioned above that you can help me disassemble my pc laptop dell studio monitor. Yeah, the monitor is all I’m interested in because the one year warranty is done in a month and since I am already due to get shit replaced or fixed b/c from the getgo there have been mad problems and I have tried their help services so many times I can’t waste time with another outsourcer in Kuaola Laumpur who thanks me 1,ooo times and then asks if I’ll talk with his supervisor just before we get off the phone as a quality assurance thing I guess.
So because it’s a WLAN all the time and because I turned down some offers in an unintended way (at a poker table in ac) they have been using their tech to surreptitiously sabatoge me. So I hear you if you don’t wanna help me, but I wanna remove what I beleive to be a covert cam behind the monitor. I have disassembled the first few things like the frame and actually that’s it. If you won’t help, maybe you can suggest that if I get a covert cambehind the lcd monitor or whatever what I should do them besides enjoy some free counter-surveillance equipment (for them its surveillance b/c they’re like that i guess; it’s their mistake and covert problem. no joke dude. thanks. later….

Quote(J-Lynn on December 1st, 2009 at 8:07 pm): Hi I have looked at a lot of websites lately trying to find out what is wrong with my dell e1505. It powers up fine but after about 20 mins it will freeze and make a really loud humming noise and the only way I can power down the computer is to unplug it and remove the battery. My comp is also starting to run slower than normal. I have run virus scans and spy ware scans over and over and it comes up nothing. If you could possibly tell me what is going on with my comp..This is my 3rd dell in 5 years and I am not ready to replace this one too.

J-Lynn It sounds to me like your computer is over heating. Till then, Jean

@Ravi
Yes, you will need to buy an external harddrive casing (that comes along with the correct connector of your harddisk eg. SATA/PATA).

Or you could just borrow it from a friend.

Plug it in, then if you are lucky, you might be able to retrieve all the data in another PC.

Hi James,

Thanks for your response. Am worried now due to the data loss (3 years data).

I have removed the hard disk from the laptop as per your instructions. Please tell me how to connect the same hard disk in the USB port? Do i need to buy some cable? Will the same hard disk can act as an external hard drive?

Rgrds,

Ravi.

@Ravi
I am pretty sure your harddisk died. Try connecting your harddisk to an external USB harddisk cover to confirm if it’s dead or not.
