Check your video driver, but you probably need to reinstall the OS (preferably upgrade to Windows 7 as well).

even though its not registered to me?!
Its a shame I cant transfer the warranty as it has nearly 2 years left on it!

here you go now you can enjoy that 2 yrs of warranty

step 1: click on link

Ownership-Tag Transfer | Dell

step 2: enter BOTH service tag number AND express number *very important that you enter both* look at bottom of the laptop

step3: enter "no information" into the areas that required (last name, first name, zip code)

step4: enter your information.

step5: submit! and baamm it is transferred in the next web page with the comfirmation.

then give it 3 days or so, call dell and have it unlocked

this method works everytime for me, i have done it with 3 laptops. all e6410's

Wow that will be great if it works !
You think I will be able to get repairs done? It said I would be informed within 15 days if the transfer happens..

once they accept the transfer, then yes you can get warranty repair done.

all my transfers have been approved instantly, but i guess its different for every laptop.

I am having issues with the laptop hanging on blackscreen and lit keyboard coming out of sleep when on battery!!! Really annoying and looks like the only solution so far is to disable speedstep.

Anyone know anything else?

Anyone else failing to come out of standby and just reaching a lit keyboard/black screen when on batteries?

Could someone please test 10-20 resumes while on batteries from S3 sleep on your laptop and report back?

There seems to be a BIOS bug that Dell has not yet fixed as referenced in these threads:

I've gotten that a couple of times intermittently. Usually resume from sleep on battery is fine.

When I do get issues though, it's usually in clusters (e.g 3 resumes in a row will fail, then maybe 40 good resumes, and then maybe 2-3 bad resumes, etc.)

I have had to disable speedstep to keep my Laptop from failing to wakeup.

The issue is as exactly as below:

In regards to the transfer, it's not 15 days, it's 30 BUSINESS days. I've had about three systems that I transferred into my name, and in each case, nothing was active and Dell refused to do anything for me until a full 30 business days have passed. (Meaning I called after 30 normal days and it wasn't long enough). Don't be surprised if you call prior to 30 days and they give you hell.
