Precision M6400 Owner's Lounge

Hey, some lame questions for M6400 owners.

Can you use the fingerprint reader to login into websites (just-a-wondering)?

Also, is the UPEK swipe reader the one they show in Dell's gallery on their website (its in black) or is that the FIPS reader?

Thanks

 

Why do you think I got them ?

 

I've been waiting for this subject to come up. I asked once a couple of dozen pages ago and got no responses. I hope it's glass because I've been using a brand of 'tub and tile' cleaner, just dampening a paper towel with it, followed by drying with soft cotton cloth. No marks or scratches and I clean it quite a bit. Is the edge to edge cover glass is what I want to know? If it's some high tech plastic I'm going back to plain water, if out of paranoia only. I'm in a rainforest and bugs like to crap on it or something that leaves hard to remove little bug turds or something that takes a lot of scrubbing with plain water. But so far all I have is a very clean screen. Please, someone tell me it's glass!

 

For cleaning my lcd, I pretty much only use a little bit of water and a lens cloth.

 

gulfstreamtec, why dont you use soft cloth ? Paper seems too abrasive as its made from wood

 

Once again, Nvidia v186.03 doesn't play nice with the RGB LED screen...

 

Don't use it. 186.08 works. I'm using it right now in Windows 7 x64. I beleive this is the Vista xd64 driver. It works great. For whatever reason, 168.08 showed up online before .03.

As it's been noted before, msot of the non-dell drivers don't work with the RGB LED screen, but that brand spanking new 186.08 does.

You may have to add the 3700M device (016E) manually to the driver inf. Sorry about that, but it's pretty common for laptop drivers.

There are a few minor (very minor) 2D rendering issues in desktop, but game performance is great.

I've found that a camera lens microfiber cloth works great. The best part is no streaks, fingerprints or even the use of water.

Works for the desktop matte screens and the E2E on the M6400.

 

I use one of those cleaning kit Ultimate Electronics (in the US) sells for cleaning LCD TV made by Monster Power (bought roughly $ 20 US Currency). Does a good job. Use it for all my laptops and TVs.

 

WHQL drivers are required for Blu-ray playback, so that's what I'm stuck using. Used and recommended LV2Go countless times... until I got BD! But, 179.50 is working well on Win7 x64, unlike 181.71 (glitches on resume, crashes UT3, etc).
