Hi all.
So I bought a new x51 last year and have been using it really well. I was working in a project one night and decided to continue it next morning so I decided to put the computer to sleep mode. Weirdly, after a few seconds it started to wake itself up and repeated this everytime I set it to sleep mode. I searched on google and a search came up on the dell support website that the solution was to update to BIOS A06.
My system was on a01 and I followed the steps to update it to a06. I saved my work and restarted the computer, only to find that when the computer booted up, it started to make a static beeping noise that had no pattern to it. After researching for a solution and explanation I realized that updating the bios was the worst thing to do to your machine and that this 'issue' was quite a rare problem and was usually ended off on a technician coming over and replacing the motherboard. No replies continued after that.
Sad thing is, my warranty just ended 2-3 months ago and they are telling me to extend the warranty when clearly it was not my fault. Can someone find me a solution to this problem?
