Driver website botched?

Is anyone else having problems finding and downloading drivers after the recent redesign? The driver page for my E6420 seems to suggest E4200 drivers, and all Google searches now point to empty pages.

    Looks like it might be resolved for the E6420.

    Seems they hired a new webmaster that needs to be fired.  Its completely broken.

    Speedsteps 1st rule of website updates.  Always make a complete backup so that if the update goes sour you can backout

    to the original configuration without issues.

    Looks like they re-vamped their drivers pages.

     

    You might want to click on the Feedback link at the bottom of this page and report the error.

    You'd think someone would test it out first before taking it live?????

    I can't get to drivers download page for Inspiron Mini 10V that I could several days ago.  Guess they are performing maintenance and have things all screwed up.

    What the hell!?  Now we cannot get to older versions of drivers and BIOS!

    I am having the same issue. Contacted Dell support, they assured me that if I put in the correct service tag, that the drivers are correct -- I am not convinced. The BIOS driver for my E6420 laptop is the "E4200A21.exe" file.
