1.Dell Inspiron e1705 - Can it do 3 displays?

Hello everyone,

I am considering getting a Dell Inspiron e1705, and the ability to have
two external monitors is one of the criteria for my purchase.
Additionally, having the external monitors in addition to the laptop's
display would be the best case scenario.

I know that the e1705 has both a DVI and a VGA output and I was
wondering if anyone has gotten three displays to work on this
particular laptop.

The spec I am looking at has the nVidia card and I will be getting the
docking station / stand for it, in case this makes any difference (I
heard this is not possible on ATIs, might be possible with the Nvidia).

Thanks!
-Alex

2.How many PCI slots in Dell Inspiron E1705

Hi, I just bought a new Dell Inspiron E1705. I thought I checked the 
optional TV tuner, but when I received the laptop, no TV tuner or remote.

So I went to look for online TV tuners, it seems they go in a PCI slot. I 
can't find any info on how many PCI slots this laptop has, even at the Dell 
site. If it has more than 2, I may get a TV tuner somewhere and have it 
installed. If none or one slot, I'm shipping this back to Dell. May need the 
one slot for something else. I have to make sure I wasn't charged for the 
tuner. I don't see it listed on the copy of my choices, so maybe it somehow 
got deselected.

If I get a 3rd party tuner installed locally, will that void my warranty? 
Thanks much.

4.Dell Inspiron E1505 -Ctrl Key down results in loss of power

Hi,

I make use of the keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+c, Ctrl+c, Ctrl+r,
Ctrl+F5, etc. From the time I have been using a new Dell E1505
Inspirion laptop it has been losing power intermittently when the left
hand side Ctrl Key has been pressed along with any other combination.
There are no events written to the event log and when the laptop is
powered back on, it behaves as if nothing has gone wrong. So far the
laptop has lost power like 8 - 10 times in a month.

What could be the problem here? This happens intermittently and only
to me, cos I am the only one in the family that uses the Ctrl key
based shortcuts.

Dell support is a piece of crap and claim that their hardware is fine
and are blaming it on windows, unfortunately, its now beyond the 21
day replacement period and I am running out of patience on this
problem with dell support.

I appreciate your time in reading this post and your help if you can
point me to what would cause a laptop to lose power when a ctrl key is
pressed.

5.Dell Inspiron E1505 & "stand by" problem

Hi:  I can't get my E1505 to succesfully come out of a stand-by mode.
The hard drive thrashes for a bit but the video never comes on.  I have
upgraded to the latest BIOS and video drivers from DELL website.  I
have the power options all disabled.

Any ideas?

thanks,
russ
