    Great find and thanks.

    I think you should copy and paste as much information into Word as you can as it may come to be very useful information to have.

    His mistake your beefstake as they say :)

    Very nice. To make it easier to keep the info, go to the printer friendly link at the bottom and then print to a PDF file (such as using cutePDF).

    This is really cool. M6300 isn't even on the (US) site yet; good to have a reliable repostory for upcoming (and historical) specifications/offerings.

    Looks like we're locked out now :(

    I downloaded the vostro 1500 zip file. We need to get a collection of the zip files people downloaded and serve them up in a torrent or on something like rapidshare.

    downloading the inspiron 1520 manual shows us that there is a freaking cable that snakes across half of the computer for the headphone jack (front, under the touchpad to around the hard drive then around the CPU (what were the thinking?) then to the headphone jack...

    \/\/(-.-)\/\/

    is this the reason for CPU noise?? (could also explain HD noise)

    it's too late for me since I'm locked out, but it'd be nice to know if there are any differences between the Vostro 1500 (which I have not) and the Inspiron 1520 manual (which happen to be downloading thanks to a poster I'm repping right now :) ). Anybody cared to download both manuals, or is it just one manual for both models?

    It's easy enough to sign up, all you need is a Dell customer number, and they'll give you log in information once you finish the sign up process. I couldn't find a link to the same index page, but after you log in you can access the index page just fine. I'm currently downloading all of the manuals on that page, but my internet connection sucks so it will take a while. I would recommend that you sign up yourselves, this could take me some time.

    Registering definitely works and is easy enough to do. I have to wonder if this will put some kind of note on our accounts that we could have possibly been dicking around inside of our lappys?

    You have to have ordered a Dell product, and it will be contained in some of the various emails that you would have gotten. Other than that, it may be on some of the documentation that you might have from the order, not for the laptop itself.

    It seems to be reserved to US customers only.
    My customer code won't work.

    Can someone who downloaded the Vostro 1500 zip file make it available for download on rapidshare or the like, or start a torrent for it?
    Not sure my email will bear files that size.
    (Better: I'm pretty sure it won't).

    It would be much appreciated (and repped, if that matters).

    LOL. No, I don't think so. They'd have to prove you actually tampered with your lappy, and not only had a peek at its pictures naked.
    (By the way, are the assembly pictures to be considered PC pornography?) :)

    I'm getting a 404 for it too.
    TailDrag's link for the 6300 works though.
    I'll try uploading the M1330 manual, but it will take about half an hour.

    I hope I did this right. Pick whichever manual you need out of the torrent, but it would be helpful if more than one person could help seed them all.
