My First WSOD

Kyrotech · 03-21-06, 09:00 AM

Last night I turned on my x50v and saw the white screen of death.
Man, this WSOD really knows how to give heart-attacks to people

Well, I applied the AS Fix, hope this works. (fingers crossed)

After charging the unit back up, I had to do 2 soft resets to bring the ppc back to life. WM5 is nice and all, but all these heart stopping moments are getting to be too much. But I am persistent, I will stay with WM5 for the moment, hopefully us x50v users will have a fix soon

in the meantime, I'll keep applying the fix that I see here. Since MS/Dell can't do anything, we can only rely on the TRUE users. Thank them all for there patience and willingness to bust up their PPC instead of ours :approve:

Well, more heart-attacks to come with WM5, looking forward to them. :rolling:

Yikes! I'd probably have a heart attack myself if I saw the WSOD

Seems to do that only on the x50's.

Not true ... I've seen it once or twice on my x51v (in the 4+ months I've had it). It's an issue for both versions

...been there, done that.... finally decided to do the A06 ROM upgrade coupled with fake server trick... been good ever since :approve:

yup, the fake server trick worked for me also.
applied it, soft reset and its been great since then.
Not once did I see my AS pop up, and now my ppc battery lasts a bit longer woohoo
