Latitude E6510 Owner's Lounge

I don't know much about it myself.

Catnapped: What do you think about the quality of those ebay ones, is it comparable to the Dell Original?

Also, I'm guessing the E6500 ones can be safely installed on the E6510 because I didn't find any on ebay (quick search) specifically mentioning E6510.

 

As far as I know, all the keyboards are genuine Dell. The keyboard for the E6400 and E6400 and the E6410 are compatible. I'm not completely sure about the E6510 but, most likely, it is also the same in order to simplify the Dell parts logistics.

Thanks. I'll probably order one of those sub-$20 ones off ebay.

Also, does anyone know if Dell sells the 6510 with a non WLED FHD screen? The machine in production doesn't mention 'WLED' in the parts description so I don't know.

unknown devices after fresh install of win7

I have following two devices listed as unknown.

1. PCI Serial Port
2. PCI Simple Communications Controller

any ideas what drivers I need to install for these?

Thanks!

 

never mind guys it was AMT.

 

This backlit keyboard says it's for the 6500, so should work with my 6510.
New Keyboard for Dell Latitude E6400 E6500 Backlit USA - eBay (item 120635942990 end time Nov-18-10 02:58:16 PST)

Is there any specific brand even amongst eBay to look for? I ask because I hate flex in keyboards and don't want to be stuck with a flexible keyboard.

Thanks!

 

Went ahead and got one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Keyboard-De...e_Trackballs&hash=item27b53e8f04#ht_677wt_905

It's $18 bucks and ships from US. I can try it out to find my answer.

Just in case anyone's wondering how difficult it is to swap it out, here's a video showing it shouldn't take more than 2 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrgtzP0Qnik

I don't see any reason why anyone wouldn't choose a backlit keyboard now. Dell charges that as a $50 option!

 

Anyone find a workaround to get the current 3100M driver to output audio via Displayport (/HDMI via adapter)? Seems it only works in the previous driver and not the current Dell driver.

 

Please keep us posted when it arrives & you get it installed.
I've got an e6510 & am hoping this would be compatible.

 

Just stick with the Microsoft Update Catalog video driver (v259.47) or the NVIDIA Verde Notebook Release video driver (v260.99). The Dell drivers appear to have some audio output issues via HDMI. The same applies to the E6410.
