Thanks, I had a feeling i would have had to do that... sigh... more headache... Btw, i bought the usb sound card go pro u mentioned earlier, however, I got my on-board sound card working. I read alot of forums where people didn't get it working so i was very confused yesterday. I have the m17x r3 model and i upgraded my hdd to a ssd so i had to reinstall windows as a result.

Hi, just a little curious, how did you get the sound to work?

Hey, I've flashed a bunch in the Seattle area. I followed this guide: AlienFX repair.....WORKING LEDS at last!! - Alienware Forum - Alienware Club - Dell Community

I bought this flasher from eBay: U EC6 C8051F Family Emulator C2 Debugger C8051F Debugge | eBay

I'm sure you can use any C8051F flasher from ebay or build yourself one, but I would either use the one I did or any of the ones suggested from the guide. It's pretty simple to do.
