glnz,
my wife's Dell Latitude D830 is overheating like crazy and it's probably dust. QUESTION – how do I open the laptop
enough to get to the dust? Is there a picture guide for opening ALL THE WAY???
1. You can remove just the keyboard as it shown in my guide. After that you get some limited access to the cooling fan. Blow
compressed air into the fan until it's clean. Just block the fan with something before you blow air so the fan doesn't spin like crazy.
Most likely cleaning the fan this way will fix your problem.
2. If you would like to get full access to the fan, you'll have to remove the top cover (palm rest).
Take a look at this service guide for Dell Latitude D830

Dear Laptop Tech – Many thanks for your thread

which I used to upgrade my wife's RAM and install a Dell bluetooth chip.
BUT my wife's Dell Latitude D830 is overheating like crazy and it's probably dust. QUESTION – how do I open the laptop enough
to get to the dust? Is there a picture guide for opening ALL THE WAY???

for a picture of what the dust looks like inside AFTER the D830 is open — but how do I get there, and then how do I get back?
THANKS!!!

Thanks your Information. I can confirm that Dell Latitude D830 handles 8GB of Memory.
(on Dell's webpage it is also stated that the D830 can handle 8GB of RAM with the A15 Bios)
For all folks interested in updating, here my configuration:
* Bios:
A15
* Ram modules:
2x 4GB DMS Certified DDR2 PC2-5300 CL5
(Part number 50191)
For everyone who hasn't heard of the brand 'DMS certified' (which in fact I hadn't before either), here the link:
http://www.datamemorysystems.com/
I did some research on 'DMS certified' in order to figure out if their RAM is worth buying. DMS buys RAM from different
manufacturers, and then tests and certifies and *guarantees* that is runs with certain (mostly) laptop models.
The DMS modules I bought run flawlessly. I am pretty impressed, since not even Dell currently offers 4GB RAM modules for the
Latitude D830.
I bought my 8GB RAM the from
other 4GB module which was somewhat confirmed to be compatible with the Latitude D830 are from Kingston and 8GB cost about
500 Canadian Dollar.
Otherwise you can order directly from 'DMS Certified' http://www.datamemorysystems.com.
Enjoy, Klaus
