*         Have you experienced the problem describe above, where the TPM
module of the system is disabled for no apparent reason?

On the Dell E-series, the TPM will drop back into the disabled state if the
NVRAM battery is disconnected or dies.  And sometimes you need to disconnect
the battery to clear up NVRAM corruption.  You can see where this is heading...
