Yeah yeah I know that was news two years ago. However, I only now found out about it, having purchased a refurbished Dell XPS m1530 with an 8400m. A friend's GPU failed in an XPS m1330 which has me wondering if my GPU will die too.
I have the A09 BIOS (the computer came with it). However, I have read that this may just be an attempt to keep the GPU alive to get outside the warranty. While I'm not going to make a claim about that accusation, I am wondering if there is any way to tell if my GPU is one of the affected units or if it has been replaced during the refurbish process.
