Studio 1557 driver issue and motion sensor question
Hello!
I've just came from the store with my new studio 1557, and I'm having one hardware issue. Some driver is missing for unknown device.. Here is the picture http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/7796/ss2ps.png
It is not bluetooth
And second question is about motion sensor for hdd. I've installed the drivers but nothing happen, is there supposed to be an application to show accelerometer values?

Motion sensor for HDD is for protecting HDD (hence protecting the data) if your laptop dropped. If you want test it, play a video from your HDD and while the video played, move your laptop aggressively (swing a little bit). The video you played should stop or pause momentarily.
In device manager, expand System Devices, you should see "ST Micro Accelerometer" or similar if your laptop/HDD support this function.

Be sure that you go to the folder where the driver for the Accelerometer was unpacked /dell/drivers/... and actually launch the Setup. This installation is different than most otehr drivers.
