my dell inspiron 1525 was accidently dropped and now the hinge on the left side is completely broken in half. im lucky though, because after a nearly 5 foot drop the screen is perfectly fine and there is nothing else wrong with my computer. the plastic on the left side is also cracked, and on the right side hinge the plastic cover is cracked in half. im amazed with this computer and its durabilty through that, in fact, im using it now :] but i need to find a website to order the parts from, preferably cheap, because im in boarding school, and i have to get my laptop back from repair a.s.a.p. ...so if anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

hello guys, first i would like to say i am glad someone can help me with this. well, this is my problem. my dell inspiron 640m, is working beautifully, almost too good to be true, untill, i don't when, but it just started shutting off my itself. i mean, at first it will restart on its own, but now it will fully go off. usually this occurs when i am playing a game. i really like tekken 3, and when i am playing it and then the pc just goes off. i thought that the game's specs were too much for the pc, but when i play simplier games this still occurs. please help

Have an Inspiron E1505, purchased last April, started overheating a couple of months ago while my son was away at college.He is not at a local college, so he decided he had to finish out his semester with it. Now that he is home with it. we ran diagnostics & said it was the fan, replaced fan, not the problem, still overheating. was told it is a sensor on the motherboard. cost $300+ to replace. also screen flickers when booting up.
I need help! now 2 months out of warranty.

sounds like many of Dell laptops are overheating, an engineering flaw??

very unhappy customer.. Karen

Will these new laptops require a replacement LCD screen every 4 months, or is it just the motherboard thats not going to function as specified. Either way, I'm excited. *cough*

I wish I would have read this blog before I purchased my Inspiron 1520 from Dell. My laptop is less then 3 months old and the Video card is no good. My Dell was overheating from day one. Tech support said it was the optical drive. I told them it wasn't. They sent me a 'refurbished' drive and I still had the same problem. Found out the fan was not running. BIOS (or something) was not setup (from Dell) to run fan. Now my video is not working correctly. Tech support said it was the optical drive again. I told him it was not. Even Video from the hard drive that ran hours before would not run. So tech wanted me to show him but he had erased my hard drive trying to correct this problem. I am now waiting for a CD to arrive from Dell to load drivers that tech said was missing and need to return computer to 'Out of box state' I took it in to 'Geek Squad' at Best Buy and they ran a test and said my video card was bad. I can not get Dell Tech support to listen to me. I need to have this repaired. This is my job (I do Karaoke and run my show off laptop) Personally, I would like Dell to Take this back and return my money to me. I also feel that problems will continue because of the overheating that occured from before. VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER, Jack

I would advise anyone considering buying a new Dell laptop NOT TO. Buy one from another manufacturer. I bought an Inspiron 8500 (fully loaded with many options) also with 3 year warranty. It was less than a year old when it developed a fault. During boot up it said that the ac adapter was unrecognized and just to be nasty the DELL BIOS restricted the cpu speed to 1.2GHZ instead of 2.4GHz and would not allow the battery to charge. I contacted DELL who said it was caused by a faulty AC adapter and they sent out a new one. It made no difference to the problem and adapter was still unrecognized by DELL BIOS. I loaded latest BIOS A08 no difference. I contacted DELL again they said it must be caused by a faulty power socket and this would not be covered by warranty (they said it is normal wear and tear). I explained that i had only used it inside on desk top conditions and that it had never been dropped, knocked or subjected to any other accident. Dell repeated that this was wear and tear and would not do anything about it, even though it was still within its first years warrant and had an exteneded 3 year warranty. I have struggled along now, for several years using what is effectively 1.2GHz machine instead of the 2.4GHz I paid for.

Before you buy a new DELL laptop think about what you will feel like if you buy one and end up in the same position as me.

Thanks for reading

Neil
