looks like there may be a bios/cmos battery, bottom right circle in the video at about 30 seconds in - or is that a speaker?
That would be interesting if it was just a jumper, switch etc.
A friend of mine also has read only problem after her power run out and rooted. Dell sent back the item unrepaired.
Yeah, that is the only thing stopping me from rooting my tablet. I rarely let anybody else use my Streak 7 because I am afraid they will not keep an eye on the battery level... and it drains fairly quick when playing games. Needless to say, all of my family members and friends think this tablet is junk because of that one issue. So, I hope a method of resetting the read-only mode is discovered sometime soon. That would make it much easier for me to promote this tablet.
Why not just use it on WiFi at home. Set it to airplane mode and then enable the WiFi. That is how I use my 4g S7.Well, I'm beginning to think that we all got screwed big time when we bought our Streaks. I know, I paid Dell $200, plus I've paid T-mobile over $300 in monthly payments. Can't even get a signal in my home area. Fixin to retire, so I won't need an "on the road" device, so I'm going to tell T-mobile goodbye, and they will bill me $200 early termination fee, of course, I won't pay it, and will have to put up with all the idle threats, etc. etc. My streak will no doubt wind up in a drawer with all my other outdated gadgets.
If I wanted a 10 inch I would have gone for the thrive. I looked at them in stores and decided to stay with my S7. I use mine at home so battery life is not an issue for me. the 7 inch is preferable for me.Why not just use it on WiFi at home. Set it to airplane mode and then enable the WiFi.

Because I bought a Toshiba "Thrive" while my streak was gone for repair cause of the read only problem. The Thrive blows the streak away as far as ports, etc. 10" screen, on and on.
Well, if you are not going to use it, maybe you should sell it on the marketplace or give it to a S7 developer.Why not just use it on WiFi at home. Set it to airplane mode and then enable the WiFi. That is how I use my 4g S7

I thought all Dell S7 had a one year warranty? Didn't they come out in April of 2011?
They wont honor the warranty if you are not the original owner (ie: bought it from ebay) or the devices rooted
I think you could get a transfer of ownership, and returning it to unrooted and stock is quite possible.
