Rechecked everything was properly seated and tried again. Everything came up and I was able to flash the BIOS to the latest version available from DELL. What a difference the new WD Black 250GB 7200rpm and the TL-60 are. It should last me another few years. The 1501 itsef was given to me to fix and the owner gave up on it because of the LCD, replaced that and cleaned it up and it aint bad.Echoo Stormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16083330075126386440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-2542527525445337362010-01-28T11:49:52.268-06:002010-01-28T11:49:52.268-06:00I just got the TL-60 to replace my DELL 1501 sempron 3600. I didn&#39;t have the manual so I just used basic knowledge on how Laptops are built, plus I took apart my IBook several times now and that is no easy task. Anyways, I didn&#39;t upgrade the bios which is at 2.6.2 to the latest as I was too excited about upgrading the cpu. I followed normal procedure, extra carefull handling and Artic Silver. Now when I boot up it sits there at a black screen. Actually the bios doesn&#39;t even come up Could it be the fact that I didn&#39;t update my Bios? If it is I&#39;ll put the old one back update and start over.Echoo Stormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16083330075126386440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-4833158526391584542009-10-29T12:01:14.561-05:002009-10-29T12:01:14.561-05:00Just ordered a Seagate Momentus 160GB 7200rpm sata from NewEgg for $53.99 and the 1.9GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-58 from www.compuvest.com for $39.99. These to replace my 60GB hard drive and AMD Mobile Sempron 3500+ (1800 real).

Plus I added another 1 gig stick for a total of 2gigs. It booted without complaint and even changed the AMD Turion logo to the corresponding AMD X2 logo. It runs cooler now than it did. The big lint ball wedged behind the cooling fins didn&#39;t help. I cleaned up the cpu and applied Arctic Silver to the cpu before putting it back together. It probably didn&#39;t take more than 45 minutes total. I used the Dell service manual to help me. Processor performance in Vista Ultimate (which could really use a reinstall) went from 4.0-4.9, memory went from 4.5-5.5, graphics from 2.2-3.0, and finally gaming from 3.0-3.1. Not too bad for a budget laptop that I bought used.
