    ************** Debugowanie w trybie JIT **************
    Aby włączyć debugowanie w trybie JIT (just-in-time), plik .config tej
    aplikacji lub komputera (machine.config) musi mieć
    wartość jitDebugging ustawioną w sekcji system.windows.forms.
    Aplikacja musi być również skompilowana z włączonym
    debugowaniem.

    Na przykład:

    <configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
    </configuration>

    Gdy debugowanie JIT jest włączone, wszystkie nieobsługiwane wyjątki
    są wysyłane do debugera JIT zarejestrowanego na komputerze
    i nie są obsługiwane w tym oknie dialogowym.

    Just a hunch, depending on your OS Version you may need to go to "Add or Remove Programs" then click on the left hand side "turn Windows Features on or off" and select the Net Framework 3.5 and 4.5. I'm pretty sure it's 3.5 only that's required but it won't hurt to have both anyway.

    Have you tried removing and reinstalling Command Center. Make sure you install the Command Center app from Dell's M15X support page and not the resource CD.

    It supports all versions of Windows 7. I have used it with Win7 Ultimate x64 and it worked fine. I am not sure what else to try. Maybe you need to do a clean install of Windows. If it still does not work it could point to a hardware problem with the FX controller on your motherboard.

    You might want to read this thread. It may apply to you:

    Do the leds work or not?
    If no leds come on when you turn on the laptop then it's definitely the alienFX controller that got corrupted, like kosti posted.
    It can be repaired, no need to replace the motherboard :)

    I think Maxslo is right. Your FX controller sounds bad. Try clearing your CMOS.

    1- Unplug Mains
    2- Remove battery
    3- Hold down power button for 30 seconds.

    When the CMOS is cleared, all the LEDs should light up in blue. If they don't, then your FX controller is probably dead or corrupt.

    The version of Windows 7 you use makes no difference. Only SP1 was release for Windows 7.

    I found a couple of threads on Dell's forums about this. After a quick read, it is possible to fix the chip but you'll need some equipment to do it.

    http://commweb-ps3.us.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/t/19433117

    If someone can fix it for you for a good price, it might be worth it. Otherwise you can get a new motherboard on Aliexpress for under $100 now.

    Its the C8051F347 from silicon labs :)
    Afaik all Alienwares use the same chip for AlienFX, the only difference is that
    machines produced after the M17x R2 model don't have different firmwares flashing to the chip, thus shouldnt get corrupted.

    If you need i do the repair myself aswell :)
    Have repaired a couple M17x R1 and R2's :)
    Here is the thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...ts-rgbled-motherboard-gpu-ram-hdd-cpu.763688/ :)
    If you are located in EU of course :), don't know if it's worth shipping from and to internationally.

    Edit: nevermind, I've just saw the poslih/czech/slovak language in the first post :)
    If you want i can repair the lights for you.
