Hate to be the bearer of bad news but, Dell has had issues the with Nvidia GPU overheating and going bad. Have had to replace mine twice already on a 2 year old Inspiron. If its still under warranty send it to dell. They will replace the GPU.

Here is an auction on ebay for the item you're looking for (it says that the drive works in the e1505, you may want to verify that with the seller).

This is a youtube video detailing how to swap out the drive.

Good luck!

Replacements are UC823 and TS-L632 / TS-L632D , TS-L632D/DEKH.

If you had problem with TS-L632 you may need to update the bios.

Replacement here:

UC823 - DVD+RW 8X Optical Drive

Hi bockobulb,

There's a good chance if the casing got damaged that the connector that connects the battery pack to the system was also damaged. First I'd suggest trying another compatible battery pack if you can get your hands on one. Bear in mind that there can be damage to the connector even if it's not visible.

On the underneath side of the notebook there should be two screws that are usually labeled with a picture of a drum. Remove tham and the drive should slide out. Remove the drive from the tray you slid out and reverse procedure to re-install.

sounds like bad motherboard/power supply. Just to be sure though have you upgraded the ram? If you have more then one memory chip try siwtching out each one and seeing if it's boot farther. It's possible a dimm went bad or the port it's in went bad. Otherwise motherboard/powersupply

you might have to completely take yahoo off your system and re download it i had the same problem and thats what i had to do

i suggest that you should replace the battery because batterey may be faulty take it down to your nearest pc repair shop

Sound like your screen is going out, it could also be the inverter. Could also be the video card, but not likely. Before you go to changing out any hardware, go into the device manager and un-install the monitor drivers. The hardware wizard should pickup the monitor automatically and reinstall the drivers. Then look for any driver updates at the Dell support site. If that does nothing then it's either the screen or inverter.

I have had a few Dell's through my shop with this problem. I have tried the recommended bios flash, and updated video drivers, with no success. Unfortunately, the only sure fix for this is to replace the video card. Now keep in mind, that this is a major undertaking, the video card is integrated into the motherboard. This is a job for an experienced components tech, and is usually cheaper to replace the motherboard. Most computer service shops won't even attempt it, and will tell you motherboard replacement right off the bat.

u got a serious problem with ur laptop:

i duuno how that occur but u got a short circuit problem.

this may solve the problem try to sctratch the nozzles of the battery and the nozzels of the laptop and see what happen

This sounds like the system has glitched. Do a system repair with your recovery or operating system disc. This should clear the glitch, get it back up and running, and cure the overheating problem. Try this and get back to me if there are any issues.

Sounds like this may be a driver glitch. Try uninstalling the drivers for the quick play buttons from the device manager, then reboot. It will find the hardware an reinstall the drivers. If the problem persists, then disable the buttons either in the system bios or the device profile in the device manager.

Hello Lisa

(01) Is the switch for your WiFi radio in the ON position?

(02) If it is, then it's possible your WiFi connection is (in your operating system) disabled or missing.

(03) If your operating system is Windows Vista, please, go HERE to learn how to access your network connections.

(04) If your operating system is Windows XP
(a) Click on START
(b) Click on NETWORK CONNECTIONS

(05) In either case, make sure your wireless connection is showing there.

(06) If your wireless connection is showing in your network connections, it is likely disabled. In that case, right click on it and choose ENABLE.

(07) Now, let's see if your WiFi LED lights back up for you.

(08) If it doesn't or if there was not a wireless connection in your network connections, please, post back here and let us know. We'll work w/ you to determine why it's missing.

Thank you,
BJ @:)
