M6600 Owners Thread

Huh, I wonder if anyone's actually using the slot. My M18x has a display minicard slot with WirelessHD card in it but the slot is wider by ~30%.

 

My start sequence stuck / halt at the loading Dell logo page and cannot even enter BIOS setup... HELP anyone..

Happened after I try to do the 3 drive configuration, mSATA + Primary HD (Sata-III SSD) + 2nd HD (Sata-II HDD)...

 

Did you enable msata slot in the Bios? Does the system boot if you remove the msata drive?

 

Yeap.. enable it, have tried remove all drive also still stuck after the Dell logo appears followed by black screen... press F12 or F2 but stuck at black screen also

 

Try the following steps:
Unplug the notebook from AC/DC Adapter, remove the battery, press and hold the power button for about 20 seconds. Then plug in battery and AC/DC Adapter again and boot your notebook only with HDD1/Primary HD [no HDD2/secondary HD and/or mSATA drive installed].

What SSD is your primary HD?

Have you already checked the correct position of all RAM?

 

Now Primary is Transcend SSD720 512GB SATA-III SSD.. RAM not being remove since, it's working okay until I've try to install OS onto HDD Bay 1 Primary from mSATA... hold on let me try

Is it normal for the disk number to jump around ?

Primary Bay : Disk 0
Secondary Bay : Disk 1
mSata : Disk 2

become

Primary Bay : Disk 2
Secondary Bay : Disk 1
mSata : Disk 0

 

still stuck at the Dell Logo loading screen...

 

Unplug the BIOS battery for 1min

 

Okay... 1 min from now.. also already tried to re-seat ram & remove all drive.. already passed the POST (Dell Screen with Blue Bar) but still cannot login to Bios setup...

 

You can also try 2 more things:

Reset the BIOS again and power while unplugged from the wall (on battery)

Reset the BIOS and power while plugged (battery out)
