Seems to me these are still quite public. Found the ones for my Latitude System right on their site within 30 seconds:

Oh I agree I think it should be public - my lack of surprise is from Dell specifically. I love 'em, but they are getting tighter and tighter regarding their support. -- Espi On Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 6:35 PM, Mike Gill <[email protected]> wrote: As do I. The results of your search indicate the site I listed. The other sites are other people asking the same question or are for beep codes and desktops. It surprises me that this information isn't public. They provide documentation for all their computers to allow users to disassemble them down to the components without voiding the warranty. Why not this? Who knows. Seems to be it would be a few less support phone calls at least. -- Mike From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 3:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Dell Lock Code Resource I always just search online, e.g.: http://www.google.com/search?q=dell+post+codes It doesnt surprise me that Dell has taken a position to keep details like this. They are getting more and more uptight about what they consider "free" support. -- Espi On Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 2:21 PM, Mike Gill <[email protected]> wrote: Does anyone have a resource for the LED Lock codes on Dell's laptops? For example, when a laptop doesn't start up and you get the num and caps lock LED's flashing but the scroll lock LED is solid. Dell says they don't publish this, and I have found on older document on their website that shows the codes, and one resource online, I would like an up to date resource that includes Latitude's, Inspiron's and Vostro's rather than calling Dell up every time. For example: http://www.bay-wolf.com/portpostcodes.htm FYI, this info isn't provided in the manual's online either. -- Mike Gill ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
