i just got into this a couple months ago so am somewhat under informed
but have been trying to catch up.

the lappy arrived to me dead a couple months ago i got to gasp back
to life for a few hours and died again.

reasearched and found defect info and lawsuit claims site. filed and
acepted for "free repair" by Dell.
skeptical going in seems i was right the got the machine back from
Dell , they replaced the "MLB".
I immediately ran temperature tool and benchmark 55-60C at idle
climbed to 89C after about 20 minutes of benchmark.

Do you really live in a jurisdiction where a company can ship you a dead
laptop, and not be liable to supply at least a new replacement, if not a
cash refund?

Consumers are sadly underinformed about their rights in these sorts of
situation.
