    Interesting. :cool: I like the thermal table info - no more guessing what the settings are.

    As for the battery, my 6 cell is a Samsung, but I already knew that (RMclock's battery info page even provides a battery ID).

    So does everyone have the blinking scroll lock problem after entering fn+shift (1,5,3,2,4)?

    I dont think it is a problem, mine flashes, I think it is indicating that you are in this mode? I dont really know it is the mode or my sences, but I get the feeling that in this mode things are bit, slower, clunkier, longer to load.... I think. Then again it might just be me.

    Once you do a full shutdown the flashing stops, as you go out of that mode. Restarting does not do it, must be a shutdown.

    Yeah, I didn't check for any performance changes. I was just hoping there was a way to stop that led from blinking annoyingly.

    The mode is not design for usability. It's some sort of debug mode for Dell, and Easter egg for us. You need to shutdown your system completely, and turn it back on so that the system gets out of this special debug mode, a restart won't do it.

    I wish we could alter the thermal tables using the FN+R thingy.
    In my office I now enter 1500 RPMS for the fan (it runs at about 1800 actually) with NO NOISE at all. Systems stays at cosy temps...
