Mobility Site - View Single Post - x51v will not hard boot after a 12 upgrade

I had this with a friend's machine. The upgrade to A12 failed because the hard reset option never showed up. We finally used the SD Bootloader to upgrade the machine (do a forum search for the exact method). We were able to update the ROM and everything worked fine but even after the upgrade the machine still does not allow for a hard reset because the screen flashes by too quickly. Eventually he is going to call Dell to exchange the machine but for now it works fine. Not sure why this happens but it is definately a A12 thing. Hope this helps.
