The form factor for your 7800GTX from your i9300/M170 is slightly different than the "vanilla" 7800 Go that was used in the i9400/E1705 or the 7900/7950 that were used in the M1710. Because of this you can't use your GTX...
There were many posts on this board back when the i9300/M170 was more current about pin-modding and O/Cing them. There used to be a great thread "stickied" to the top of the forum describing in detail the procedure as well as...
Good luck trying to get it replaced now, I've had nothing but problems trying to get Dell to fix my screen. Back in April I got the dreaded vertical line on my i9300 screen which I posted about in this thread. Since then I've tried on...

Make sure you're using the drivers designed for your laptop card, with an .inf that properly supports it. Again, I'm not that familiar with ATI video cards, but as you know with Nvidia, many times driver releases do not include support...
It sounds like your problem is driver related, because of this Windows is using its built in default driver and you're not getting any video acceleration. First off, before starting you'll need to download the latest ATI drivers for your...
"Fn-F2" turns on-off all radio transmission, both wi-fi and bluetooth. The bluetooth light may or may not come on depending upon which drivers you're using. Did you check out the thread I linked above? There are answers to...
You can turn it on with fn-f2 provided you have the correct drivers installed for your onboard bluetooth module. There used to be a great thread stickied to the top of the old Dell 17" forum before they made all of the changes...
