Today after powering it up it froze with a blue DELL start up screen and soft resets would not help it come out. Later on after waiting on that screen a message popped up saying the following:
"Memory error has been detected, Press "contacts button image" to correct the error. If the system does not boot, Press [Power]+[Reset] to clear all data in the main memory and reboot the system."
Hmm I'd say this X3i is dead for sure now wouldn't you say
I wonder how well it can withstand de-acceleration against a hard surface ;)
