Precision M6400 Owner's Lounge

Well got my card changed...everything worked perfectly for about 3 hours of gaming and then screen went blank again.
Then it worked perfectly all last night.
I'm beginning to think it might be because I'm only using a 150w psu not a 210w for the below spec.

* Intel Core2 Extreme QX9300 (2.53GHz, 12M L2 Cache, 1067MHZ)
* 16GB DDR3-1066 SDRAM, 4 DIMMS
* NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M (1.0GB Discrete Memory)
* 1 x 128GB Samsung SSD + 1 x 500GB HD
* Integrated 2.0 MP webcam with dual digital array microphone
* Internal English Backlit Keyboard
* Intel WiFi Link 5300 802.11a/g/n Draft Mini Card
* Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Module
* FIPS Certified Fingerprint Reader
* Primary 9-Cell 85W/Hr LI-ION Battery

 

I beleive "RGB LED Edge 2 Edge Display" means Covet. At least it did when I got mine, all nice and dark orange.

 

You can get edge to edge on the normal colour one as well.
Hopefully it's the orange covet..really think they're class looking.

 

Hey LLavelle,

do you have the non-E2E screen in the silver or orange notebook? I'm sure I heard it exists for both, but the Dell rep now tells me they can only do anti-glare for the silver version...??

also, I see you have the 410 bluetooth module? did you get it through dell or put it in afterwards?

cheers,
schinkster

 

RGB in a non-E2E is only available on Silver.

 

Has anybody had any luck getting the Dell Bluetooth 410 working in Windows 7? I've tried installing it a million ways with no luck (Compatibility Mode has been tried). Besides that, I love Win7 RC on the M6400, but if I can't use my Bluetooth mouse, it's kind of dead to me.

 

Funnily enough I was just trying to figure that... I swear it was working (and it sees mobile phones..) but I haven't figured it out - let's hope the Release Candidate arrives soon (or someone has a fix for it)
--- right now I am just dealing with using the tablet...

 

I'm actually using the RC right now (released through TechNet) and it still doesn't work.

 

The default power adapter now is
"210W/240W switchable Slim 3P A/C Adapter"

So 210W is not enough ? And there is a new 240W slim adapter ?

 

WOW! Thanks for letting me know on the RC, I have been waiting for it...
Darn on the mouse, but I will take what I can get and hope the mouse will work itself out...
