His posted update today states:
Update, 12/2: Some good news! The engineering team has successfully recreated the problem and identified several causes. One root cause has been identified and can be addressed by a BIOS revision, and an updated BIOS is now being validated. The engineering team is hopeful that the other root causes will also be resolved via a BIOS change, and are working to confirm this so a full BIOS update can be implemented.I would like to add my 2 cents on this. Be very careful when taking this at face value. When talking about a BIOS update - well, anything can be introduced without you understanding exactly what the fix is. The BIOS update for example, may lower/alter performance in such a way as to produce a clean DPC Latency Checker result.
As pointed out by a couple of other posters @ NBR, a BIOS update was released for the XPS M1530/M1330 to 'correct' an issue with the GPU. This was nothing more than a band-aid fix to the problem. The actual problem remains (to this day) and the BIOS did nothing more than activate the fans from power up. The result: Decreased temps and lower battery life with a faulty GPU which should have been replaced.
My advice:
Once they release their "fix", be sure to test everything. Make sure nothing has been compromised. Its one thing to see nice green bars on the DPC Latency Checker and a completely different issue to find your GPUs are locked at full clocks as a result (just 1 possible result).
If you are one of the lucky ones who are not having any issues, I suggest holding off on updating once this is released. Let the rest of the owners be the "testers". ;)
All for now...
