My dell studio 1737 has gone dead.

When I switch the laptop on nothing happens at all. This is despite the charger being connected to the mains. Prior to this, when the laptop was working, it kept coming up with the message 'battery low'. Now, even when the charger is plugged into the mains the charger does not get. Could anyone help me...I think it is the charger which is the problem but I'm not sure and don't want to waste money buying a charger when there isn't a problem with it. Many thanks, Hst

For a new battery, we advise that you update the BIOS of your laptop, and open the hardware automatic identification port of your laptop.

When you use it firstly, you need to discharge till 5%, then charge it about 11 hours. Usually, new battery need to fully discharge and charge for three or four times, which can achieve the best performance.

About the new battery, please set the power management of your laptop: Property -> Screen Saver -> power -> Power scheme -> Portable / Laptop -> please cancel about low battery alarm and serious shortage of battery alarm when use the battery.
For some laptops, you could try to close your power management tool to test your new battery.

You could try to take out the battery from your laptop, and put it back again, repeat several times. Make sure that it isn't a poor contact problem between the battery and your laptop.

If the battery works in higher temperature, the battery protection plate will work and the laptop restart program will make a termination order. You can take out the battery, put it back again, and avoid work in high temperature.

In order to avoid some damage to the battery, please note:
Please don't take out the battery when the laptop is in run status.
Please don't pull out the ac adapter frequently when the battery is charging.
Please use high quality and reliable laptop charger, not to use the universal laptop charger.

Are there something wrong with the new battery can not charging?
That's not usually the case. When equipment for the first time to recharge the battery, the instability of the voltage and current may cause the battery charge to 50% (sometimes more, sometimes less), and equipment stop charging the battery.
If this happens,don't worry. You just remove the battey from the equipment, recharge again. First charging a new battery may need several repeated process. Please be assured that this is normal.

Many people have reflected that Dell's notebook haven't recognised and charged the new battery problem. Usually, they solve this problem via BIOS refreshed.

Usually, please connect the battert with the power supply when you can refresh the BIOS. You can download the BIOS program from Dell support website http://search.dell.com/results.aspx?s=gen&c=us&l=en&cs=&k=dell+bios+inspiron+6400&cat=sup, automatically installed and automatically restart till to complete. Of course, you could check its use manual in advance.

First of all remove the main battery and try again, the battery will often load down the power supply and in some cases kill the power, if no change! have your power supply checked out for the correct voltage, "TV repair shop on the spot"

SOURCE: Dell studio 1737 speakers crackle and pop.

My best guess is, if they crackle with the speakers but not the headfones,  then replace the speakers. Must be a lose wire or something of that nature.

My Stuido 1737 laptop won't boot up when I turn it on. How do I fix it

4 possibilities.
1 The dell studio 1737 power supply is duff. How do you know it is actually working? Have you been able to test it on another system?
2 The charging circuits in the laptop have failed. Only a workshop can test this.
3 The Battery is dead. How do you know it is good if the system is not working?
4 There is a mechanical connection problem. Damaged lead/plug/socket etc. Examine and swap out to check.

Note that the system would not work if 1, 2 and 4 were the problem. (Since the system should still work of AC even without a battery).So a battery problem is the lowest probability.

Please help, dell studio 1737 laptop, the lid is cracking round the pivot point onthe left- hand side, and I'm worried that the other side will go the same way Is there any cure? thanks Mike...

If the lid is cracked-- nothing that you can do about that.. if you have warranty on the computer call dell (18006249896) and say then that lid came off automatically.. They might ask you did it.. Say it happen by itself.. Only then they will replace it free of cost.. If you dont have warranty call a local tech and get the lid replaced.. Thank you..

My charger gets too hot...

Chargers get hot, too hot to leave your hand on. Wires pulled out would be most likely be viewed as mechanical stress and is unlikely to be covered. To confirm you would have to contact Dell. If it stops charging altogether it had an intermitant opening and may need to be replaced.
