Issue Fix: XPS M1330 CD Eject Freezes System

Thu. May. 08, 2008

Thanks to Notebook Review user nexas for pointing out an issue with the XPS M1330. When a user presses the eject button on the optical drive, the system may hang for a few seconds.

Dell Community Forum users like Vishnu M. issue reported this issue. We've identified the issue and corrected it with the latest BIOS revision posted yesterday, version A10, which will correct the symptoms.

Again, users that have encountered this issue can click here to download the BIOS.

There have also been reports of this issue on the XPS M1530. The next BIOS revision is being tested now, and will also correct the symptoms. That revision is slated for web posting in June.

The Linux repositories for Ubuntu and RPM-based distros have also been updated with this and other recent BIOS releases.

This is a start to resolving the issues with the M1330.

How about a more official announcement with regards to a more pressing matter please?

29 pages of forums, dozens of people with M1330's not of merchantable quality due to inherent faults with the design and the system hardware, notably in this case the graphics card/GPU/motherboard.

See below:

I haven't heard anything official from Dell about the matter yet, but given the level of discussion about it and the customer sentiment involved, I only hope that some words of encouragement/recognition are on the way?
