so tonight i decided to reboot my inspiron 1520 and instead of rebooting it powered down.
i hit the power button and the power light cameon for about 3 sec. went off and the battery chargiing light cameon for about 1 sec. then shut off.
my worst fear is comiong true i think so i remove the batter and leave the power cable plugged in - the power light came on for about 3 seconds and thats it
so i unplug it and hit the power button a few times, pull the hard drive and let it sit for about 10 minutes, put it back together and ,, yup,. the same thing happens.
if i put my ear right onthe back of it i can hear a faint high pitched squeel like a tiny electrical device (maybe the hard drive motor?)
so here i sit,,, about ready to cry my eyes out cuz my lappy is my main rig, its what i use daily.
the warranty ended in Dec and i couldnt afford to buy another year of warranty for $150 bucks or close to it.
In Sept or Oct the motherboard and video card were replaced.
so i call in and they want to charge me $50 just to have some c0cklicker who doesnt know a damn thing about computers read from a script and tell me what i already know and then probably charge me ano0ther $400 for a motherboard cuz its probably fried.
the operator who told me it would cost me $50 to talk to this retard said that i had NO WARRANTY even though the mobo and video card were just replaced 4 months ago,,,,
so is that crap right if Dell replaces a part they dont warranty those individual parts for how ever long, you only get thewarranty that is left on the entire system ? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am very very VERYupset right now as i now have absolutely nothing,, only the wife's computer...
is dell gunna completely fvck me on this or is there someone i need to call to get something done
cripes i'm still paying on the damn thing too
