Can I Disable the GPU to keep the heatsink cooler ? hopefuly stop the fan spinning all the time ?

Does anyone know about using a half size Broadband internet card in the small WWAN slot ?  I have an SSD in the full Size slot already.
Would something like this work in the E6440 ?  https://techship.se/products/ericsson-h5321gw-101/

Just got the Evo 850 250gb msata and the laptop boots perfecto! right away after windows installation
Does anyone know if you can still use the sim card slot having taken out the wwan card to put in msata SSD ?
Perhaps you can get mini half size wwan that will work with E6440

I'd probably look out for an 850 Evo msata ssd. 840 is an older version

Hey do you think this is the best SSD Msata to get for this laptop?

Google "e6440 Repair Manual" and download the PDF from Dell's website. Read through it. 

It's I think...7 screws to remove the heat sink, a twist ofn an 8th screw and the CPU is out. 

Clean both surfaces of the heat sink and CPU gently with 90% iso and apply thermal paste and reassemble.

 

One great thing about business class laptops is how easy they are to work on. 

I'd buy what ever one you can find for the cheapest you can find, and then buy the parts separate. Then again, you might just get a good deal. [emoji6] 

Thanks for that.. Yes looks fairly easy and shall be a fun upgrade.

Interesting to note that I see many E6430 with I7 in but not many E6440 I wonder if that's a heat thing?

The HP 8560w is another business class laptop workstation that looks pretty well built have been thinking about that laptop over the E6440 until I realised that one's Msata is limited to Sata III

That's so good! Now I just have to find one for sale with an I7 and or 1080p resolution..Not so easy here in UK.

I suppose I could upgrade to one later? As I'm ok taking the machine apart I'd the CPU is replaceable? From I5 to I7
