DOES DELL STILL MAKE THE 9-CELL BATTERY FOR THE S1737? WHERE CAN I GET THIS 9-CELL BATTERY AT A LOW COST, BUT WITH GOOD MANUFACTURED QUALITY?

WHERE CAN I FIND OR OBTAIN THE ‘RIDGED RECTANGULAR RUBBER ANTI-SLIP PADS’, LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF MY S1737 LAPTOP? I THINK THAT THERE ARE EITHER 6 0R 8 OF THEM ON MY UNIT. AND WHAT TYPE OF ADHESIVE DO I USE TO AFFIX THEM TO MY LAPTOP? SOME OF MINE ARE NOW MISSING(ABOUT HALF). THANK YOU. JKK

In reply to Anioko. @ Anioko, It's either failed battery or there is a problem with the motherboard. I cannot tell which one is causing the problem without testing the laptop with another working battery. You'll have to find another known good battery and test the laptop. If the problem still exists, even after you replaced the battery, this is motherboard issue.

In reply to shyaka. @ shyaka, It's hard to tell what is causing the problem. You can try booting the laptop from a live Linux CD, for example Ubuntu (which is free). Test your laptop in Ubuntu. If the mouse and sound work in Ubuntu but not Windows, most likely there is a problem with Windows OS. Reinstall Windows OS.

Hi
i have a dell 1737 that has no signs of power no lights
nothing at all tried swopping memory no go looks like
motherboard failure but i opened the heatsink and the
gpu has a white compound with blue thermal tape and
the cpu has a thin thermal tape covered by blue gooey
stuff could you tell me if this is the correct assembly i was thinking
of putting the blue thermal pad on the gpu and artic silver on the cpu
do you think this would be ok

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for these instructions. I fixed two 1735’s (one with a bust display and the other with a defective CD drive) using this information. Really helped a lot. Thank you. Dave
