RE: Dell Lock Code Resource
For the Inspiron I have on the desk this section simply doesn't exist. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1721/en/sm/index.htm It's fine. There is some commonality it seems between older and newer models with the code I'm seeing. It appears to be a failed video chip or related. As it's not replaceable on this laptop it means a new mobo. -- Mike Gill From: Sam Cayze [mailto:sca...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 9:31 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Dell Lock Code Resource Seems to me these are still quite public.

RE: Dell Lock Code Resource
That is odd, I recall looking those up a handful of times back in the days... I do agree with you though, we purchased a quad quad core server with 64gb of ram from dell about 8-9 months ago (model escapes me). The 2.5 sas drives didn't come in they were backordered, we overnighted hp drives from cdw, popped them in and dell wouldn't let me config them into the raid because they weren't dell. That was the first time I ever saw that too, I think it was a perc h700 card or something?? anyway I was very surprised when that happened.. one of the reasons we liked to go with dell because we could swap out parts locally in a pinch ...
