QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jun 7 2011, 10:06 AM) Open it up and try to manually remove the disc? Gonna leave that to the tech when I'm back in M'sia, haiz, slot-loads are really a pain in the ass when the CDs get stuck in there!   QUOTE(jimmykvt @ Jun 7 2011, 10:11 AM) I believe it's easy to clean an M15X, saw the disassembly video on youtube :] Mr.Doc is using a M17x  This post has been edited by dark_axl21: Jun 7 2011, 10:36 AM |

QUOTE(zad78 @ Jun 9 2011, 10:05 PM) You know what I did when my disc got stuck inside the tray? It might seems crazy but it work...I just touch the eject button and at the same time try to PALM-HIT the part where the tray is located using my hand. Not too hard but just enough so that hopefully the disc will come out. And it has...try it... OMG THAT IS JUST CRAZY!!!  IT DID THE TRICK!!!  Thanks man!!!  *Still having problems with reading CDs/DVDs, better get some repairs from Dell when I'm back in M'sia This post has been edited by dark_axl21: Jun 9 2011, 11:10 PM |

QUOTE(duabijitelur @ Jun 9 2011, 11:12 PM) OMG, it works? Gratz dude... Yup it worked! Was shocked as well, I guess the CD was just kinda like "trapped" so you need to give it a bit of force while the tray is ejecting it! nice technique indeed.. But still I won't read CDs/DVDs, that I have to call Dell up! Was working the last time I checked!  |

QUOTE(giggsyy @ Jun 10 2011, 12:28 AM) So you mean u needed to hit the CD back in the DVD reader? or below the DVD reader while pushing the eject button? No! While pressing the eject button on the media panel, you give a slight bump or pat on the right side of the palm/wrist resting area, which is right above the slot load tray, not too hard, just a slight nudge to it. |

QUOTE(hackcremo @ Jun 15 2011, 08:41 PM) Guys, i need your advice.. I thought mine was already high enough! Today after playing GRID and Crysis 2, my gtx 260m reach its peak temp 102'c.. Once i reached this max temp, i felt sudden lag on my screen, around 1-2 seconds..i think it throttle down to prevent from being toasty.. i just bought m15x, July last year.. Any1 alienware owner can provide me a cleaning and reapply thermal paste service?? [attachmentid=2275676] Most likely your vents are blocked with dust, I used cotton buds and reach through the fans and kinda swab the dust off the vents covering it! It was really lots of dust back then! After that the temps drop at least 10°C!  I can feel more hot air gushing out through the vents whenever I game! |

QUOTE(duabijitelur @ Jun 15 2011, 09:03 PM) today when i use my M15x in college... feel like left side fan stopped spinning[i think its proc fan].. it was like damn hot... 60++ in idle mode... Mine goes into maximum spin when the temps hit >60°C  Sometimes I do hope that the fans would spin at a higher rate even below 60°C, don't want it to hit that high in temperature!  |
