Yeah but my rig is with fedex right now and has left production. I guess I'll have to do it when I get it. =p

A bother, but no biggie.

 

I suggest checking everything out first however.  You machine may not need any additional fussing.

Well it was good while it lasted. The fan and lights are working and then i go out to shop for a couple of house and when i come back home everything is back to default for some reason. So when i notice that i restarted my machine and everything is back to where it should be lights red and fans at 20 each. So it looks like if you leave your computer on for hours with no activity everything goes back to default settings for some odd reason. so its not fixed yet unless im the only person that is having this problem.

I can't offer much help here except to say that it doesn't surprise me. Sleep/Hibernation/Standby modes have always caused me problems on desktops... XP and Vista.

Is There Any Way 2 Tell Weather The New Firm Ware Update Actually Installed Correctly?

 

The Firm Ware Software Version Indicator Still Said #22, When I Installed It Over The Week End.

kevpan815,

When flashing, if the popup to click OK came up, it was successful.

I have installed Dells latest fixes and everything seems to be working great, no more lock ups when I set up and load a Profile Policy and the sliders seem to represent the correct fan position.  Good job Dell.

You are a extremely helpful kind of guy, that being said... what kind of post was that for a liason?  You've been involved with the 630i MESS long enough to know that it is a manufacturing problem and NOTHING is beyond the realm of possible. That was an insult to the poster and so unbecoming of the standards that we have all learned to hold you up to. Dissapointed.

Edit: We all believe (at least I do) that you care more than that. You've got a very tough job. A break (vacation... job change) may save your sanity. I say this 'cause I know about the "Burnout" of this type of job. I care cause you cared. Just saying a break may be in order. Be well, for you, you deserve it for as long as you've been doing this.

Dell-Chris_M: sound familiar... like from months ago. It does to me on a personal 630i level. Odd I must add, as my XPS420 has not burped or hickupped in over a month. Tell Mike to drop the deadbeat 630i and save customer's a load of headaches. Freedom of information act will allow me to get numbers from Dell that will not look good. Don't make me....
