RE: DELL LATITUDE

Have a look at this:-

http://firmware.inmatrix.com/

I am no expert, but PROCEDE WITH CAUTION. I understand that there are dangers in going down this road, hence the profusion of cautions and disclaimers on websites associated with the subject. Having said that, I know of several people who have done this successfully and none that have not.

Personally, I am still contemplating taking the plunge with my own Dell; what a manufacturer inspired "con" this whole thing is! Good luck.

Check to see if the warranty would still cover it. Wouldn't think it should cause problems, but technically its probably illegal.

RE: DELL LATITUDE

GOOD POINT. Would almost certainly invalidate the warranty if you damaged the drive in the process.
