Hi PPL.... got a small question. Can an oxidized Motherboard be repaired by a BIOS Update?

To thatrotierkid,
I kind of figured that out to because the PC is my friend's. Yesterday when we tried to start the PC it would just give a long beep. We took it to the shop where he bought it from. They kept it back and called him to day in the morning saying that the motherboard was oxidized and that they updated the BIOS and that now its working. But don't you think that that answer is a bit weird??? If the MB is oxidized, how can a BIOS update help??????????

1) seriously? no of course not.

2) oxidizing happens when certain metals are exposed to oxygen for extended periods of time. copper is a common example. the green color it turns is a result of oxidation.

3) a BIOS update modifies the motherboards software.

4) software updates to not fix physical problems

EDIT:

that does sound rather fishy. i would go back to them and say unless the oxidation is gone or the motherboard is replaced, you will not pay them. sounds to me like they are trying to take advantage of naive (not you, other people) customers who dont know anything about computers by throwing big words at them.

Build and Design

 

The Dell XPS M1330 has received high praise for its design and feature set in a 13.3″ portable form factor, but the most popular selling laptops are in the 15.4″ screen size. Dell, being in the business of selling more laptops and making customers happy, figured it would be wise to offer something that's larger and appeals to more people. And that's exactly what the M1530 is — a larger version of the M1330.

Screen

 

Another difference that should be mentioned is that currently the M1530 is offered with only a standard 15.4″ widescreen XGA (1280 x 800) display, while the XPS M1330 has the option for a thinner and more power efficient LED backlit display. Dell says the XPS M1530 should be available next year with different resolution screens … including LED backlight options.

Keyboard, Touchpad and Media Controls

 

The keyboard on the XPS M1530 is fairly similar to the XPS M1330, with obvious reasons. The keyboard is firm with virtually no flex and the keys have excellent travel and cushion. The XPS M1530 is really quite a pleasure to type on. The only complaint I have for the keyboard is that if your fingernails are slightly long they might get caught under the keys, this shouldn't be a problem for most males though.

Conclusion

 

Overall, the Dell XPS M1530 is a solid addition to the Dell notebook lineup. We praised the smaller XPS M1330 for having "a design that is second to none in its price range" but we didn't feel quite as strong about the design of the larger M1530. While this is certainly the hottest 15.4″ notebook available from Dell, it's hard to shake the feeling that we're looking at a "fat" M1330 with a larger screen.

 

While issues like a noisy slot-loading drive, noisy hard drive, and limited screen options will make some demanding buyers look elsewhere, the M1530 is an excellent alternative to HP's popular dv6500t notebook in the same price range.

 

Pros

 

* Thin and light … for a 15.4″ Dell notebook

* Nvidia 8600M GT card option uses high-performance GDDR3 memory

* Reasonable battery life

* Nice keyboard, touchpad and media buttons

 

Cons

 

* Only three USB ports

* Slot-loading drive is loud during loading and ejecting

* Hard drive noise is magnified by the case/mount design

* Limited screen options at the time of this writing
