Sounds like a short somewhere. I have had this happen on other models from a shorted Fan, a burned Power Regulator, a Failed Power control board, and a bad Power Jack where the AC Adapter plugs in. The first 3 were easily fixed by replacing the bad part, but the last needs the services of a tech who has Surface Mount Soldering Tools to solder on a new Power Jack. The only other thing I can think of is someone somehow spilled liquid on it. If so, new m'board time!!

However, be advised that official Dell refurbs as sold through at least 15 vendors, have had the Service Tag changed in the BIOS so that Dell can tell when the computer was sold without access to Dell services... They remove the old Service Tag, then replace it with another tag that means "This is a refubished Dell sold without warranty or tech support." The original seller is obligated to inform all those potential customers that it is sold without support.
 
Hi Paragon,
I have disassembled my D600 Latitude, down to the motherboard. Having trouble finding that chip to perform the paper clip procedure. everything is covered with black plastic. How can I find it?

It is under ther the PCMCIA Hardware and then under the the black insulation sheet. It reportedly is a 24C04N
 
Paragon,
Thanks a lot man, i found it. reassembled and booted up. i think i shorted the wrong pins...5 and 6?

Chip pin Pairs to short

8-7-6-5

24C04N

1-2-3-4
This is the layout of the pins by number. Either Pin sets 3/6 or 4/5 are the ones to short. You will have to probably short more than once to get to the Manufacturing Mode screen, and you must delay the short until after Power On with a delay of from 1-6 seconds.
 
Hi Howard,
I have Dell D600 and attempting to perform to shorting technique, what pins do I short on the 24C04N chip? I think I short the wrong ones...admin pw remains, shorted 5 & 6, can anyone advise me on this issue? Thanks

I have told you before, short either pin set 4/5 or 3/6. 3 or 4 are grounds, 5 or 6 are the active pins you are needing to ground at the proper time

Dell Latitude D620 Needs Service Tag Reset

Hey guys, if any of you have the software utility to Reset/Replace the Service Tag for a Dell Latitude D620 I would appreciate it very much. my email is email removed

I've been reading tons of forums like this one and I have to say that it is nice to see people gathered together helping each other out.

My second question is once I change the service tag... or blank it out, can I put the exact same service tag back in? The only reason why I ask is because I read that the only way to get the option again to deactivate/disable Computrace in the embedded Bios is by resetting the service tag. Even though I have been watching the laptop very carefully, there are no signs (from what I can see) that even though the function is turned on in the BIOS it has not "persisted" to copy itself on to the new hard drive to be executed in Windows XP. Do you think it's because I didn't give any room for a HPA (Hidden Protected Area) on the replacement hard drive I installed? I looked for traces of RPCNET.DLL and RPCNET.EXE and also the ip address of their central monitoring servers. But nothing has come about it from what I have seen.

I would still like to reset the service tag and have the option of being able to permanently disabling the embedded computrace feature in the bios. :)

So yeah, does anyone have that bit of software ? :)
 
D610 Service Tag

Hi all

I wanted to re-enter my Service Tag to my Dell D610. The board was changed months ago and it seems the tech did not change back the Service Tag.
So far I tried Dell Tech CD A11 from a friend but as funny as it was ee-cpb.exe returns "I have told you what I am! What are you?" It also says that either the Service Tag is not in a correct format or the admin password is set. I checked and there is actually no password set for admin, setup, hdd.
I also tried a newer asset.com (v2.09) and a newer svctag.exe but it didn't work with them either. I think the problem is the svctag.inf. Maybe my System is not in the list!?
Can somebody help me from here or show me a different way to get things right?

thanks martin

Those versions are too old for the D610. Go to this linked website and download the DST CD ISO file and make the DOS Bootable CDR. The ISO file was made from the version on a Dell Tech's CD for Portable Computers A38 from October 2006
