New ROm by Nov 24

Dell is releasing a ROM flash by Nov. 24 where you may download the same
from www.support.dell.com and that is suppose to resolve all these issues
that you mentioned.

These appear to be the Big Five WM5-related problems. All appear to be
software related, as they occur with both the X51 and the X50 upgraded to
WM5, and were never present in the original X50 OS.


1. Leaving an SD or CF card in the unit drains the battery, even with it
powered off. Leaving both cards in drains it twice as fast as one.

2. Leaving a CF card in the unit may cause it to disappear when the unit is
powered on. Restoring the card requires a soft-reset.

3. Leaving an SD card in the unit may cause it not to turn on at all if the
battery is below about 85%. Removing the card allows the unit to turn on
normally.

4. Frequent error messages regarding GWES.EXE, a core Windows file that
handles the graphic user interface. Disabling Error Reporting will prevent
this annoying message, but the errors probably still occur.

5. Setting the unit in the cradle with it turned off may result in the
so-called "White Screen of Death"; the screen turns on solid white and the
unit becomes totally unresponsive. A soft-reset is req
