*OFFICIAL* "All Powerful" M15x Owners Lounge - Part 4

Well, good luck with the job, bro. Hope you get it! Sound funny, actually, "So, hat do you do?" "Well, I'm a burrito roller". Ha ha ha! Sounds better than "I work at Wal-Mart".
Schools here also start on September 21st, by the way.

 

damn that's late

 

If Dell sends me a part telling me to install it myself and there's no return label in the box, does that mean I get to keep the old one? There's nothing in the invoice about sending the old one back, there's nothing besides the shipping label on the box itself.

 

You have to send it back. They'll probably send you a shipping label within the week and you're supposed to send it back within 10 days of receiving the part.

I'd recommend calling and asking about a label just to make sure.

 

So a label should be showing up to send it back without me having to request it?

I don't want to give it back if I don't have to, they've offered me nothing but horrible customer support and I have to go to their Corp managers to get results.

 

That's risky, though. They will charge it to your credit card if you don't send it back. Don't worry about the return label, it will show up sometime.

 

if you don't see anything in a few days then call them up. they can end up charging you if you don't return it. its just good to be safe.

 

Fine I'll tell them to send me a shipping label when I constantly call this weekend to harass them to send me the part that I actually need if nothing shows up they can screw off.

inap, I won't accept the cable for free, Give me your price and I'll paypal it over.

 

Yeah they can be a pain. It took about a month to finally get my laptop running flawless again. I think it would have taken even longer if i didn't just decide to replace the parts myself once my replacement came in =/

They're QC has gone down CONSIDERABLY. Their on-site techs have always been hit or miss while 9 out of 10 phone techs you speak to have no idea what they are talking about.

 

The techs in my area, there's one dude his name was Junior, very friendly, knew how to make conversation, knew exactly what he was doing even if it was his first timing touching that model he would have read up on the service manual, if anyone but him calls for a tech appointment I call Unisys up and request Junior, the last 2 guys... I wanted to throw them out of my house.

 

i nevered sold anything before, i wouldn't even know how much to charge. it fine just pm me your info when you want it.

 

Charge 'em plenty, bro! That dudes that can afford an Alienware must have plenty of cash! Ha ha ha ha! What are you getting yourself into, bro? Starting a new career?

 

hahahaha, yeah. he just needs a connector cable that i happen to have an extra of. maybe i should start selling parts for reals, lol i have plenty extra, hahahahah. pretty much almost have everything to make another M15x.

also archnemesis, looks like a new tf2 update is released, hopefully will solve some of your issues bro.

so when are we gonna hook up and play harry?

 

Hey guys, do you have any experience with FRAPs?
If you do, then could you answer this question - Would a better CPU make FRAPs record smoother.

 

Tomorrow is good for me, Inap. We can hook up in the evening if you want to. Just try not to hook up too late as I'm a couple of hours ahead of you, bro. just rush home after work and connect! Ha ha ha!

 

I think all of us AW owners should form a petition to create a new QC and support for Dell's "high-end" (lol) adamo and AW systems. We didn't pay a premium to get crappy service. :/

 

sorry miahsoul, haven't tried recording with fraps yet, but i think there should be a difference, but i'm just guessing,lol.

sure i'll try my best to harry. lately been playing with the wiz and archnemesis late nights. would be way late for you though.lol

 

I was kidding, bro. I'm not the one to decide when you've got time to play. That what your son's for! Ha ha ha!
We'll do some shooting tomorrow bro, count on it.

 

Experimenting with my new camera (Rebel T2i)
Total darkness, ISO 6400 F/5.6 1/125

 

Nice pic. Better quality than my $25 Alcatel phone!

 

Thanks.

When you look at that thumbnail, it looks like there's nothing in the pic- You have to enlarge it to actually see the led's

 

Yeah, it looks beautiful. It's even a bit disorientating the first time you look at it.

 

Well I got some advice and was able to change a couple of things. Here's the results-(Seems a bit brighter)

 

Ahhhhhh who's going to be standing in line for the midnight release of Starcraft 2 on monday night??? See you there!!!!!

 

wow trippy,lol

who is down for some tf2???????

 

I've got Steam on, bro! Let's get it on!

Steam gives me this message, though:
Unable to connect to server. Server may be offline or you may not connected to the internet.

I am connected to the internet, obviously.

 

close it and restart it.

 

I did, Inap. It says: Ready to play in 1 hour and 55 minutes. Is there another update of TF2 out?

 

yes new update.

 

Damn, that game gets updated a lot, bro!
Guess I'll have to wait until the update finishes.

 

Steam is so bloody slow when downloading updates/purchasing games. I usually let them load while I hook up my M11X and 'do my net thing' or vice-versa.

 

Yeah, but the thing is that Inap and I both have time to play now, so waiting for the update to complete is quite irritating.

 

It's updated but not responding. I'm going to uninstall Steam and reinstall it to see if that makes any difference. (Restarting doesn't make any difference).

 

aww man i see you on there now. do you see my massages?

 

Hi guy6s, need some help. After trying to uninstall Steam (which didn't work, the whole computer just froze) my baby refuses to start up. I've tried just about everything I know, but nothing makes a difference. Any ideas out there?

Thanks in advance bros.

 

did ya do 'ye ol' trick? the bios reset crap...?

 

I did the drain trick, J. Can't do anything in the bios because I never get there. It just doesn't do anything, bro. It wont start up.

 

Looks like you fried something?

are there any lights blinking ?

 

No, no lights blinking, J.
I don't understand how I can fry anything when all I did was open Steam which automatically started downloading an update of TF2. After that finished everything went down the drain, bro.

 

Got a.feeling that's the video card is blown bro.

 

Man, that blows. I was so proud of being the only M15x owner with a 240 card. I bet you can't get them anymore, ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha! So, come to think of it, I just pulled an Inap! Ha ha ha!

 

Lolll.. yea it does sound like the gpu blew... weird :s...

I'd give Dell a call and push for a 5850m LOL

 

Yeah, that's what I will do. I'd push for a 5870 but they don't offer those,

Kind of a shame, though. I had no problems with this card and I honestly don't need anything "better". Something else is that I actually prefer NVidia over ATI, if only because of their driver support.

 

I'm sure you'll be back in action in no time. Hope they do hook you up.

 

Yeah, I'm not too worried about it bro. And if they don't, I'll do it myself, no prob. Might even learn something from it, ha ha ha!

 

Could something like this be built into the M15X:
Sapphire Toxic Hd5970 4gb Gddr5 Pcie ( MercadoLibre: TARJETA DE VIDEO SAPPHIRE Toxic HD5970 4GB GDDR5 PCIE - BsF 18550.00)
It's only a mere 3000 euro.

 

I wished. That card is awesome. Makes me want to go build a desktop.

 

Ha ha ha! What's the best card one can put in there? The 5870? What about those new Nvidia cards?

 

The new NVIDIA cards are new but geez its gonna be expensive. Also not sure the bios will support those cards either. I would get a dell 5850 good performance plus dell warranty is nice.

 

They're hard to find here, though. The 5870 is easy to find but ridiculously expensive. Same goes for Nvidia cards, though. Hard to get your hands on.
