support

In the beginning, there was the dedicated XPS 730 Users Group on Facebook. But Facebook's restrictions for groups, syndication, very poor searching, no public access, out of control threading and zero organizing just finally make things hard for anyone to find any information (hence this site!). We have since closed the community and I am moving all of my reference content to this public site, searchable by Google and alike (finally!).

Therefore, the community has started to setup dedicated public sites that anyone can join (not just Facebook). They are listed here.

Please feel free to edit this page and add any additional resources you know of that support the XPS 730X system.

Dell Warranty
Dell's original warranty support was available until August 2012. Dell stopped internal development support for the XPS 730x in August, 2009 and has not released any updated BIOS nor software since. Dell's abrupt halt of orders and internal support caused a lot of pain for end users, like me, who purchased their machine 1 month before all of this happened. Dell actually attempted to convert most people with serious system problems over to their Alienware Area-51 system. To do this, Dell required the original machine to be shipped back.

There has been a few users who have purchased Dell's vaporware, err I mean extended warranty, only to find that there are no parts for repair and Dell ends up giving them an Alienware machine instead.

If only we could get those old machines from Dell!

730X.org (Wiki)
This site! I setup this site as a pure reference site for accurate information and hacking on the 730X. Forums and blogs do not accurately represent that type of information, so I went with this wiki approach with detailed Table of Contents in each area of interests.

All content on this site is released under Creative Commons Share Alike license. Please refer to the footer for details. In short, it is completely free for you to take and syndicate in any form or fashion. Just you have to reference where you got it from, that's all.

XPS User.com (Community Website)

The website http://XPSuser.com is operated by Doug Buchan and is dedicated to all XPS machines, not just the 730X. I occasionally troll there as well, helping answer questions in the XPS 730X group.

The Facebook page XPS Users Support Community is dedicated to all things XPS. It currently syndicates content from XPS User.com.

The DELL XPS 730 & 730x Group (Facebook: Closed)
Originally created by Matt DeLana, we originally had a Facebook group dedicated to the XPS 730 and 730X machines. But its format was very difficult for all users to use. So we've closed the site and created the sites above to help more of the community to non-Facebook users.
