Dell Mini 9 A05 Bios – fixes battery remaining time

27 Apr

Dell has placed a new update of the bios on their site. A05 is the version number from here.

Now its lists these fixes.

1.”Press F12 key” highlight but not into boot menu while the POST
progress arrives to about 90%.
2.”rpcnetp.exe” is running when set Computrace as Disabled on Setup.
3.If set USB Storage as 1st boot device, system with usb device (not
bootable) can’t boot to HDD.

But I have noticed one more thing thats fixed. Windows 7 is now showing the remaining time for the battery. FINALLY you got it working Dell thank you.

Gallery Is Back

More Runcore SSD Stuff

29 Mar

I just turned the Hibernate on to see what the Runcore was like with start-up and shutdown times. I hardly use it but I think I might start to after playing around with it now.

It takes 25secs to shutdown totally (white LED to go off). I wasn’t sure if it was working at first because there is no windows log-out screen its that quick to exit windows.

Start-up was about 20 seconds from dead start.

Updated: Installed Runcore 64gb SSD

17 Mar

The Runcore 64gb SSD arrived yesterday just before I left for work. Once I got home I opened it up and installed it into the Mini 9 and after 26mins I had a full install of Windows 7 Build 7057 running. It was very easy to install thanks to the supplyed screw driver in the package.

I get a score of 5.9 WEI with an overall score of 2.2 . I’ll do some more benchmarks later when I get home from work again. Read the rest of this entry »
