 right tried run Dell Diags (outside of Windows) it passed all it was only one thing it did say that the fan's was running at full speed???

1. Did it show a section dedicated to MIO-Board. Did you use it to test and change the lights?
2. Is MIO-Board connected to motherboard's MB_USB-1 Header?
3. Is this an ALX model after-all? If so, try removing AA batteries (for interior lighting) so you can get a good "power dissipation" reset/fix on it.

You have an Aurora-R1 ... Aurora-R1 ALX if movable louvers on top.

See this and run Dell Diags (outside of Windows)

Dell Service Tag is inside drop-down optical drive cover or on back.

Win7-64 is proper OS.

No.

Create bootable CD/DVD or Flash drive of this and run OUTSIDE of Windows.
