Precision M4600 Owners Lounge

Here you go...using HWInfo64, not 32, if that makes a difference...also, I'm trying out an updated video driver from Nvidia (not the latest from Dell, but a newer one from NVidia itself) so I'm not sure if that would alter the results.

 

Not for sure, but the device manager entry's hardware info was something like "LGD0308"; i.e LG?

 

I checked the LG website and couldn't any screens with that number.

EDIT: ..... "couldn't find any screens with that number."

 

I would like to amend this. I installed the intel rapid storage drivers, and I experienced a BSOD shortly after my comment and the hard drive has freezes with the HD light turning solid white at least once an hour, thank you karma. Next I ran the SSD tweaker 1.9.4 for win7 this seemed to have no effect on the issue. I installed the A04 bios upgrade yesterday and have noticed the. I am assuming it could be intel the drivers not playing nice with the drive. I will have to check on my SSD firmware and with OCZ on which drivers work best.

 

Try removing Intel Unified AMT 7 Management Interface Driver 7.1.2.1041

I had the same problem but now everything is fine and rock solid.

Also please upgrade to the latest OCZ Firmware for your SSD.

 

I've got a m4600 which I've had for a couple of weeks, but it has developed a couple of wierd problems.
1. If you put the laptop into sleep mode, when you wake it, the DVD drive dissappears (also from devices) and will only reappear when you do a reboot - and then I have to go into device manager and enable it. I've tried uninstalling it and updating the drivers, but to no avail.
2. I have a 128gb SSD (C) plus a 512GB "normal" drive (D). Sometimes when I do a reboot, the boot order gets messed up and it tries to boot from the (D) drive. I've updated the bios and changed the order so that the SSD is first, or second behind the DVD and it will work for a bit, then it will fail again and I'll find that the Toshiba 512GB drive is back as the first item to boot again!

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I'm inclinded to do a reformat and reinstall (plus also claim back the 15GB of the Dell restore partition on C in the mean time), but I'm not sure if this will fix the bios issues.

 

So does anyone know if the FHD LED Screen of the M4600 is 95% Color Gamut like the W520? Just curious as I'm looking at getting one soon. Thanks for the help.

 

no it dosent, its a 60% gamut

 

Ah...that's too bad! Thank you for the heads up.

 

After M4600 is on the hibernation, is pressing the power button the only way to wake it up? Can I press the keyboard to wake it up?
