Hi @terelmore Had you tried replacing the batteries? try this to pair your device again https://www.dell.com/support/article/sg/...-to-use-the-dell-universal-pairing?lang=en

Hi @hotmom224 When you look on the fuse diagram, do you have any idea what does it connect to? Well for this you might need to send in to mechanic to have OBD readings some ideas: https://www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2006_...

Hi @lazva based on the reference design on the mainboard, I do not see any RAM slots. Hence upgrade is not possible.

Hi, if this is the model and you are just looking for the power adapter just get a 5V 1.0A DC adapter Below is the picture of the DC voltage for the device. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/ig...

@chilledlava had you press other buttons to test on the dpi? Is it still under warranty? If so, send in for replacement. not sure if your light sensor is using infrared or LED if LED check if there are lights. sometimes the camera / sensor could be faulty.

Hi izzymeadows Suggest you contact them again, as my impression it is still under warranty. if out of stock ask them if can get a similar one or higher / better one with an "upgrade fee". there are many possibilities, but since you mentioned new charger and battery, i can only think of internal faults, e.g. logic board, motor, etc

Hi @pi123 had you tried testing with other CDs? If so and it is not working well, most probably the lens mechanism is faulty. If it is under warranty, send in for service. Else consider getting a quote on the the cd traverse mechanism / lens. im not sure about this model, but if you want to DIY to fix it, consider opening up to the lens / traverse mechanism hopefully there are part numbers which you can try searching in ebay / aliexpress, etc

Hi Amit Based on the info from dell, this model does not supports uefi . https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_vostro_not...-1450_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.pdf As the mainboard does not support this, thus there is no options to change, to say, it will be in legacy mode

Hi @drasine You can consider downloading tools like Hiren https://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ Once you had downloaded, you can have the option to burn it into a cd or to usb thumbdrive (preferred as it is fast). You will need another working computer to do so. There is a tool in hiren you can use to format it. Hard Disk Tools – Security HDD Low Level Format Tool v4.40 For a less secure method, you can download windows 10 installer from microsoft, once download is completed, you can either burn it to a disk or usb, which usb is preferred as it is faster. boot it up and delete all partition. After which, you do a clean windows installation over. For a secure erase, i know there is a tool which can help, but it is not cost effective for you, like wibetech hdd eraser, without a need of pc. else if it is a concern, and there is no much option left, i would rather you remove the hdd

Hi @kasrafarjad Do you have any usb devices connected to your ps4 slim? try removing all and test it one by one at a time.

Tips: Either use a multimeter or use a CR2032 battery to test the LED before soldering in :)))
