Added on December 27, 2009, 2:21 ammay i ask.. do you guys remove the battery when operating AW with AC adpter? im quite curious...

do you all owner m15x and m17x have problem with your dvd?when put a dvd it will be hang... finding screemo... I not follow the thread before?can someone tell me why it became hang?

in addition to ur prob, i cant even setup dell remote access. 

Restore what back to factory setting. BIOS or driver?
It's "Made in China" quality. what do you expect.

Yeah. I feel a drop in quality in the QC Department. A new notebook with so many new recurring problems.
One problem solved for me gives rise to another.
First the power issue. That resolved with the new MOBO, Now I get BLUE SCREEN Errors when playing Resident Evil 5 and Batman Arkham Asylum once in a while and it refers to Display. Updated with the new 186.47 driver with for the GTX 260M and the problem happened today

@PELVIN
The new NVidia driver 19x.xx .. is it ok to update with this on the M15x? Worried that it might conflict with something in the lappie since it was not recommended in the DELL Drivers.... Do Advice?

Problems aside, i just received my headest an hour ago, after 2 weeks of delay. Pictures below. 

Sound quality, not as good as i expected. If you're willing to get this for the alien head, then get it. if you want better sounding headsets, this is not it.

Ya, feeling like the unluckiest guy around. Runnnig temp during games is around 74celcius. With air con ON , the temp drops to 68celcius. Been trying all sorts of games, RE5, Batman Arkham Asylum and Crysis Warhead. Recently, All would result in system freezing but with the music still ON, Can't get out to windows, ... sometimes it would exit to Windows, but most times,.... freeze, hang, Blue Screen,,, reboot!

Been calling DELL and making friends with the late night shift support. Been calling them like everyday for the last 5days to report the progress, I have installed new BIOS after MOBO Change, install new NVidia 186 driver for the GTX 260M, Installed a NEWER Driver (195) for the GPU Taken from NVidia.com , then did a system restore to factory settings via the DELLSAFE Program when u press F8 When on startup. Used without driver updates, then update with ONLY Newest 195 driver, ALL NOT WORKING and the BLUE SCREEN Issue still comes on off and on especially when playing games. The error code is Graphic Display related.

FInally, DELL Has arranged ANOTHER Appointment with me for the Engineer to come over and check the system and he's bringing a new GPU, NEW MOBO, New HEAT SINKS, and maybe a new FAN as well.

SIGH..... No peace in playing games at the moment. Recently lost all my data from RE5 which I have completed once and played half way again.... .
I keep telling DELL, I am the only one with problems so there's definetly something wrong with my M15X!!!!!!

See! We already warned u guys bout the aw weight. Now u guys regretted it want yo sell it off. My m17x is heavier thn yers but I still carry it around like an iPhone. U live by yer choices.

Hi~! new alienware owner here..
anyone can recommand me backpack beside orion? ...orion is too exp de..
and i go everyware to find bag that can fit 17 inch laptop...no luck.. even in lowyat...
and about the 'cacat' touchpad... try using microsoft driver...
the synaptic driver is crappy... like the oem Mcrrappy antivirus.. XD

good form of exercise   next time bring it while u hike   
i have to say is lucky our battery is very light , if not the m17x gonna weigh more then 6kg lolx .

yeah. too sad no white color for M17x.
i think same thing goes to M15x too.

Well, I hope you don't have to go thru wat I had to....
For me, leaving it overnight to download isn't a problem. Only when playing HIgh end games and the GPU heats up and the fans kicks in. Thats when the problem with blue screen arises at times.....
Hey, thanks for the heads up. I was wondering how to switch to advanced theme. Looks great!!!!!

I find pulsing effects abit....Ah Beng'ish lol

Eeee y la the white lighting so cacat wan........

double sure about that?
you are using 720 right?

is it possible for us to share our theme?
like upload and download it like other files?

so far i dun experience any problem like u guys but i recently found out that i cant complete the dell remote setup. also i juz realized there is a dust stuck in my lcd screen. wonder how it get inside. 

called dell and asked them about the hdmi converter & they told me there is no such thing in asia region. so is there any official news about it?

no one forcing you to share yours, my friend.
so no worries if you not interested

its not hard to clean. its cant be clean! 

dell called me & said wednesday the technician will call & clear the dust for me. 

haha.... Technician appointment today. Called me in the afternoon to notify me he's coming at 5pm - 7pm. At 4+ he called to say he will be late so at 7pm. At 7PM He called and appologised cos he's involved in accident and now have to make police report. But all the calls, sounds like he's in a quiet room. Hmmm... maybe he's got Noice Cancellation for his phone, but I told him, as long as he keeps to his appointment and come by today... I will wait. He said he'll call back....
Am I too mean or inconsiderate?
