Vqmp Posted September 9, 2022 Author Posted September 9, 2022 May have a solution on link below, but obviously that post is for M17, not M18 https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-REQUEST-Dell-Alienware-17-Mid-2013-BIOS-Unlock?page=2
ssj92 Posted September 13, 2022 Posted September 13, 2022 Do the command in command prompt and when you get the error, close laptop lid to put laptop in sleep mode (make sure it goes to sleep!) Now open lid back up and try command again 1 Alienware Area-51M R2 : Intel Core i9-10900K | nVidia GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Alienware Area-51M : Intel Core i9-9900K @ 5.3Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 2080 Alienware 18 : Intel Core i7 4930MX @ 4.5Ghz | nVidia Quadro RTX 5000 Alienware 17 : Intel Core i7 4940MX @ 4.5Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 4090 Alienware M18x R2 : Intel Core i7 3920XM @ 4.7Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 3080 Alienware M18x : Intel Core i7 2960XM @ 4.7Ghz | nVidia Quadro RTX 5000 Alienware M17xR3 : Intel Core i7 2920XM @ 4.7Ghz | nVidia Quadro RTX 5000 Alienware M14x | M14xR2 | M15x (980m) | M17xR2 (RTX 3000)| Precision M6600 (P4000) | 7520 (T1000) | 7720 (Tesla P6) BEAST Server: Intel Xeon W7-3465X 28 P-Cores | 2x nVidia RTX Titan | 128GB RDIMM | Intel Optane P5800X CS Studios YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CSStudiosYT
