Quite truthfully, I had never heard that phrase, or what ever you choose to
call it, used before seeing it in this group.

I guess we just travel in a better educated group. >g<

I purchased an XPA1530 about a year ago because they made a big deal about how good XPS are and how they have their own technical support team. The only good thing about their technical support team is that they are not in India. As far as their knowledge its the same as if they were in India. I had purchased their 5 year full warranty because I go to college and figured I would either drop it or spill something on it. Since then I have had the following problems.

1) Computer doesn't start up all the time
2) Battery would not come out to troubleshoot
3)Computer would freeze withing minutes of starting up and give errors of hard ware failure (which DELL denies because they don't want to replace it)

Steps taken to fix the issue:

1)Spent hours on the phone with technical support and they couldn't fix it.

2) Send a technician over with a new motherboard which didn't fix it.

3) I sent it back and they replaced the motherboard AGAIN and without testing it they sent it back to me so it still wasn't fixed.

4) And now since they couldn't fix it within 3 tries they said it has to be replaced but in order to do that I have to talk to a "replacement supervisor". However the supervisor has to call me because they are very busy, according to the representatives. I have been waiting for a week and no call and I keep calling back and they have NO IDEA why I'm not getting a call back. So here I am with a $2000.00 laptop that doesn't even turn on. Don't buy dell!!! THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND TURN THEIR BACKS!
 


We all know that dells are shatter than a large shatting thing

but this topic is over 3 years old buddy

start a new one
 
I also had big problem with Dell warrenty. I was moving from US to india and my warrenty was expiring. I asked dell chat support agent, if it is possible for me to transfer my warrenty to India and he told me yes so I took the warrenty. When actually I ask them to change it they asked me $204 I was upset but still I paid it (for a $502 laptop I paid $313). When I reached india. I had a problem with charger and DC power jack. I talk to support agent and they asked me to got to Lajpat nagar new delhi dell service center. They changed the adpater but for DC jack they asked me to upgrade the warrenty to complete care. I changed that by paying $77. Now When I went back to the same service center they told me I need to pay further Rs17000 or the same technician can do it without going through dell for Rs 4000. I am not whether to upgrade the warrenty or pay the bribe in dell service center. Ultimately one year warrently is costing me more than the laptop price and it is not getting repaired either.
I will never suggest anyone to buy dell laptop.
