I flashed BIOS by "Dell - Phoenix Manual Mod" to my DELL 1535, and it's game over....

    I told you so. 1535 model has a flaw. I suggest to avoid mod for this model, or to prepare for certain BIOS recovery.

    I've argued more than once that the 1535 was defective by design, finally after enough bios and driver updates, and finding an undocumented fix for the media buttons, it has become more stable. I can't stand the touchpad but everything else is working fine now.

    Probably, Dell was "cutting corners" with this model. If the motherboard and BIOS chip are functional, there should be no problems if you flash your BIOS hundred of times.

    i agree about the touchpad, i thought it would be like my xpsM1330 but it's really really bad.

    Don't feel sorry for that, it's O.K, I will call for the repair~~
    for the 1535 version that had hung up my computer, yes, it didn't work when I just double click it, it just rebooted and happened nothing...
    And when I runned it as administrator, it rebooted and seemed to be normal, but suddenly it went black and from then on, it can't be lighted up again...

    But don't worry for that, DELL got nice services~and I have another PC for work, so don't care too much around this~~~

    Request re-up of dos package

    Hello,

    I have a studio 1535 that I would like to experiment with the dos package flasher. You kindly offered to re-up the dos package earlier in this thread and I would like to take you up on that offer.

    Joke of the year. They have anything but "good service'.

    I do believe that was unfortunately one of the bad experirnces with the Dell DCCU software. It works fine for many models but unfortunately it did brick a couple models. Those two downloads you refer to have been tested and confirmed working by the members mentioned. I think you should be able to search and find the post by jim.pwo, I am not sure if myrhh actually posted his positive results, we were sending messages back and forth by pm, neither one of those are DCCU version flashers, as labeled, the first is a rebuilt Dell flasher and the second is packaged for Dos, use whichever you prefer and please, post which one you use as well so others wil know...

    Not surprising considering this thread is almost two years old.
