    hey guys

    i recently reinstalled windows on my Dell XPS M1730 but i have some problems. For some reason the lights on the lid of the case (the ones on top lol) dont come on anymore. To get them on i have to open dell quickset and turn them off and then on again, then they will stay on, but after shutting down and booting back up they are still off. Anyone know what the problem could be?

    Also another issue im having is that when i turn on the laptop my left speaker light is orange. I changed it in quickset to be blue but still during booting its orange and then once the laptop is fully booted it turns to blue. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    I know these are not major problems but they kinda annoy me so any assistance with them would be great.

    Thanks a lot
    Tudor :)

    If your Quickset settings aren't sticking with you after a reboot, the lighting settings may be different in your BIOS.

    Just press F2 when your Dell splash screen comes up, then scroll down to "Onboard Devices." You'll see the settings to turn your panel on or off, as well as options to change the colors of your individual LEDs. I am almost positive that's what's happening to your system.
