    I received my laptop back from the depot yesterday. Didn't get a chance to test it out yet but looks like they swapped out motherboard, heatsink, video cards and an LCD cable according to included paperwork.

    Yes those are 6990Ms, 100%

    They may show up as 6970Ms as accuracy is down to the programs used to report that string.

    6970M are infact 6990Ms with 160 SPs cut off.

    Just reinstalled the dell osd to see whether I could fix the brightness issue. No joy. was worth a shot though.

    As posted before, for those (like myself) that need the brightness control, try: Change Monitor Brightness using DimScreen

    It will do the work until the issue is resolved by Dellienware/AMD...
