E6410 Owner's Thread

From an elevated command prompt (command prompt with administrator privileges), try these commands:

Obtain command help:

powercfg /?


To enumerate (discover and list) which wake timers are armed and capable of waking the system:

powercfg -WAKETIMERS


To identify what woke the unit from the last sleep:

powercfg -LASTWAKE


To list devices currently configured to wake the system from any sleep state.

powercfg -DEVICEQUERY wake_armed


The wake_armed permutation may be the most useful.

 

No problem with A05 bios
but .. I disabled hibernate as I never use it

 

Probably just as well, considering the faster boot times with Windows 7.

 

John, Dr. Zoidberg, and GoodBytes, thanks for the DP info!

 

Thank you for that but my laptop wake up from hibernate mode.

 

I just received mine. The screen (WXGA+) was made by Samsung. I do not like the fact that black color looks dark purple.

I would not expect to see deep black on TN panel, but purple? - anything but purple for me.

I am wondering if other people experience the same, would LG screen be free of this problem?


Thanks a lot for any input!

 

Hmm...have you tried calibrating the display using Windows 7's tools *type calibrate into the start menu search box* along with the graphics card control panel for your specific card? (intel or nvidia)

 

I currently have the discrete card option (nvs3100).

Will there be any problems if i upgrade it to the latest driver available on nvidia's site. or should i just stick to dells own graphics driver which is 185 or something compared to nvidias 258?

 

I did calibration and it helped. I still see some purple in dark scenes. It is coming from the backlight.

 

I got the Samsung display (SEC5442) with my E6410 and was expecting it to compare poorly with the LG panel in my E6400. However, after tweaking the gamma slightly I reckon that it is as good.
