Mike,
We've had nothing but problems with our Dells...ours are pentiums and all of
them have one problem after another, even mine at home. You would think we
would learn after 1. If you don't send it back to Dell within 30 days for a
full refund then you are SOL.
We will never buy another Dell....it's a swear word around here!

We bought a Dell Inspiron 1100 lap top 13 months ago (12 month warranty)
to do art work on.
It has a celeron processor. It croaked yesterday and we called Dell.
The first words out of the techs mouth (after being on hold for ever)
was "buy another one".
We told him no, we want to fix it. He helped us run some diagnostics
and determined it was the mother board that went bad.
The laptop cost $700, a new mother board installed would cost $650.
After talking to some local computer repair companies they all say the
celeron processor cheap computers are not worth fixing, they are "old
technology" and have a tendency to last just past the warranty. Its a
shame that Dell sells the crap. If we would have known this we would
have upgraded to a Pentium.
Someone a couple weeks ago was searching for a computer....thought I
would pass this experience along.
We are definitely living in a disposable society. I hate to throw away
a nice looking box, does anyone want to buy a frozen Dell laptop for cheap?
Mike
