RE: Dell Lock Code Resource

2011-07-26 Thread Mike Gill 
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.

It used to be more standard/published, but there does seem to be a
divergence from standardization here within the past 10 years.

Oh I agree I think it should be public - my lack of surprise is from Dell
specifically.  I love 'em, but they are getting tighter and tighter
regarding their support.

It doesnt surprise me that Dell has taken a position to keep details like
this.  They are getting more and more uptight about what they consider
"free" support.

RE: Dell Lock Code Resource

2011-07-24 Thread Level 5 Lists 
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 ...

As do I. The results of your search indicate the site I listed. The other
sites are other people asking the same question or are for beep codes and
desktops. It surprises me that this information isn't public. They provide
