I paid 1100 some for the 1705 about 4-5 years ago and than last year i extended my complete care for another 3 years and paid 380 some dollars.
so now dell is saying they do not have a 1730 and they do not have any alienware so they offered me a 1640 or refund.
i said refund. so now they are processing a refund but i have a feeling i am not going to get my 1400 back. does any one know how is dell going to $rew me this time?
I've never gotten a system exchange before, so I'm kind of nervous..
Currently I have a Dell XPS M1530
C2D T8300 (2.4 GHz)
4 gigs RAM
250 gb HDD
8600m
Will I get another XPS M1530 and, if so, is my hardware likely to be the same or better? Any chance that I'll get the XPS 16?.
I was wondering when we can expect to see an all-new, top-end gaming laptop from dell. The transition from the M1710 to the M1730 seemed extremely quick, in fact with seemingly minimal hardware improvements.

1) Is it better to re-install Windows first before replacing the motherboard?
2) Do I have to worry about BIOS/Driver compatibiilty problems after I replace to the new motherboard?
3) Can you please tell me of other factors that I should be aware of once I boot up my newly motherboarded' computer and how to deal with them?
4) How are you feeling today? I hope you're feeling fantastic!
I have the Dell Windows Re-installation disc and a good amount of personal data backed up in an external HD, I'm hoping that's all i need to accomplish bringing my computer up to snuff.
if anyone asks why I need a new motherboard, it's a faulty DC jack and the audio pins in the side are broken
how long do you expect your Vaio to last without failure?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've just bought 8530p with a T9400 and ATI mobility Radeon HD 3650.
What temperatures do you get?
My temperatures are:
idle:
Cores: 33-36c
GPU: 44-45c
load:
Cores: 64-66c
GPU:72-80.
Anyone care to comment upon the temperatures above? I think they are a 'tad' high under idling (where speedstep is kicked in).
Can anyone with a 8530p provide me with something to compare against?
I'm thinking that I might do a cleanout and replace the thermal paste to reduce the temperatures, anyone tried that on a 8530p with good results?
I've had my XPS 720 desktop since January. It can be a good computer, but I've had too many problems with it and Dell support has been terrible. I've had to literally contact them at least ten, probably a lot more times, for each problem that I've had. Since I'm typing this in an iPhone, I'll just list them.
Two weeks after I got the system it would freeze during the middle of its' boot up and I had to have a mediocre Dell technican fix it.
The system reboots (turns off out of nowhere and instantly powers back up).
The system got the "screech of death" and was repaired ten days afterward.
The technican that came scratched up the system a lot.
Tons of boot up errors before getting into Windows.
Does anybody have any tips on how to get a full refund from Dell? The system has gotten really annoying and there's really no excuse for them not to do something other than another repair and Dell isn't as good as it should be at fixing it. I'll probably focus on each point individually and put up a good arguement, though refunds are really hit and miss. I'll be talking to an agent's manager's manager tomorrow and I really just want a refund at this point.
I had a bunch of problems getting Dell to refund my money for a laptop I returned.
I purchased a $1700+ Dell Studio 17 laptop using my company’s Employee Purchase Program on 1/13/2009 using my debit card.
I was very unhappy with its sound (totally unacceptable) and when after multiple attempts to remedy the situation failed I decided to return the laptop for a refund. Which I did on 2/6/2009.
When I was notified that the unit had arrived at Dell I called to find out when I could expect my refund and was notified that they would “credit my account quickly".
I told them that was a problem because the account that I ordered it on (my debit card) had to be canceled because it was suspected that it was compromised so the account they would try and credit no longer existed. I was told “no problem” we will issue you a check and it should be delivered in 5-7 working days .....
what does it mean by returning with credit? does it mean that i cannot get the full amount i paid, but instead i can buy other dell computer with the credit?

but now, the replacement system is also broken. the replacement is brand new (they gave brand new as old laptop was 1 day old).
now, they have taken the old laptop back.
but the new laptop is new and so i had a new invoice, trackin no. and etc. Although the invoice charged me £0.00 as obviously, its a replacement...
If I buy a laptop from the outlet and select next business day shipping for $69
If I decide to return it for a 100% refund, will dell refund the shipping
I just sent back a lemon of a XPS 1340 to Dell, got the confirmation that they received my return, and they noted the credit will appear on my statement up to 30 business days.....................

Would that matter, cuz i have many heat issues with my sxps16?
I don't think that's fair to get a new one and take the chance of getting their refurb parts
I currently have a 1645 on order and assuming I ever get it, I want to run Linux as the primary OS.
I would like to run vmware workstation with windows as a client. The reason behind this is that I primarily use the computer for work and need linux, but I need windows for a few things.
I understand that these days Dell simply ships a re-install disk if that much. I need a full version of windows to setup vmware. Does anyone know if the dell key can be used with a full version disk to do an install .....
Originally they called yesterday and offered me a replacement for an M17X but they would only give me 85% of the original ourchase price of the XPS.
I configured the M17X on the DELL website and also called the Sales department to clarify I could have Bu Ray reader and Dual ATI's added because these options are not on the web configurator. I was told I could add these options.
This morning a tech support representative called and we went through the configuration. He could not get the price to match what I had been quoted from the Sales department.
I bought a M2400 some days ago. I like it for most of the features: eSata, nice docking station, nice LED screen, backlite keyboard, etc.
But I can't live with the noisy fan that is on way too often when the laptop is docked.
I mean, I'm not using some CPU intentive programs here, I'm browsing the web and listening to music and the fan turns on!
Overview:
If you have never heard about Windows tax, Windows refund or anyone ever getting refund for Windows OS then perhaps it is time to look it up.
I don't think many people are aware of the fact that it is possible (and you have the all the rights to) to get a refund for Windows OS if you aren't planning to use it.
Getting Windows OS refund is like returning unused/unneeded product to get your money back. For example, if you are using Linux on your computer, why should you pay for Windows OS? Or, if your study institution provides FREE premium Windows OS, why should you pay for the crippled one that comes with your computer? Why should you even be forced to use Windows?
I decided not to pay for Windows OS. It is in the principle.
Please note: The key in getting Windows OS refund is in DECLINING the EULA agreement the first time computer boots up (or not turning computer on at all). If you accepted the EULA you are out of luck!
Here is how I got Windows OS refund from Acer Canada:
I purchased my Acer Aspire 1410 from Canadian Staples Business Depot. For 5 days I played around with it by booting Ubuntu Linux from SDHC card to make sure it was working correctly, there were no defects, etc, and after making the final decision of keeping the notebook, I picked up the phone and called Acer Technical Support (1-866-706-2237).
After getting a hold for an agent I explained that I would like to get a refund for Windows Vista Home Premium that came pre-installed on my laptop and quoted EULA agreement:
Quote:
By using the software, you accept these terms [of EULA agreement]. If you do not accept them, do not use the software. Instead, contact the manufacturer or installer to determine their return policy for a refund or credit...................
Is it normal that dell.ca would have fewer choices of screens than dell.com? I'm looking at the studio 15, and dell.com lists Hi Resolution/Bright,
glossy widescreen 15.4 WLED display (1440x900) as a choice, which is what I want, but dell.ca doesn't. When I view the system specs though, that choice is listed as on option.
I have a Dell Latitude E6530 and when I plugged in my monitor and keyboard into the docking station, they were not recognized. But I can plug them into the laptop while docked and they are recognized.Â

my laptop vostro 3460 won't boot any more. When I turn it on it loads the Dell logo (I suppose it passes the POST) but then it just shows a black page. It could be anything, but I guess that it may have something to do with Windows 8 and the UEFI system. I also would be quite happy to install linux mint and get rid of Windows, but I don't know how to change the boot priority order.
So my questions are:
1 is it a hardware issue ? if not, can I solve my problem easily ?
2 how can I change the boot priority order, to install mint ?
