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.

umm ordered in Nov 2007 it died after 13 months in early 2009..
inquired and got deflected with a simple short answer...warranty
expired...
it lay dead in a closet for nearly 2 years until a couple moths ago
when i learned of all this..
apprently Dell gave a year extended warranty over the issue but did
not tell us.
