    ***Solved***


    Hey everyone,

    Just a quick question. Recently had my laptop repaired under warranty at a Dell repair centre. They replaced the motherboard and heatsink. Everything seems good. But I've noticed when it came back there are these red lights under the screen. I know they shipped it back in Manufacture mode x40 which I managed to turn off with a quick good search I think? But the lights remain. I'm going to call Dell about it later but just wondering if anyone has experienced this? Thanks!
