Dell Laptop User Thread

[cracker]

For me I'd only really need it in August next year. Just that I'd like to have it now la (to replace my ailing desktop). But is not a must yet la. And that's why can afford to wait if it'll make a difference.

if u need it in next Aug....then wait for June 08 PC show.

darn...was typing halfway when the whole comp went blank agn...initially i thought it was due to my ethernet cable...coz one time i plugged it in..the screen went blank..its nt jus teh screen..the music i wasa playing also stopped...so i guess the whole comp went blank...could it be the OS is corrupted?

im thinking of doing a reformat this weekend when i get home.....it is happening v often and its affecting my sch work..

this prob started when i accidentally allowed an active x control script to run frm an unknown website...i moved the cursor wrongly...darn....cud this be a virus?

Hmm.. my vostro left speaker seems to have some sizzling sound when playing at certain songs (maybe the volume, not sure). Is this normal? can i call the dell person down for that?.

Can i call the dell person down just because 1 of my keyboard button is a bit lose.. keeps coming off? lol

Sorry for asking a bit of lame questions...

Aint lame.....good questions.......

If you just bought it recently....then you're applicable for any free trouble shooting from their side, just give them a calll and tell them your problem

However, that being said....if its quite sometime i'm not too sure....for their policy i've very well quite skip it
