Hardware Forum / Brand Name Systems / Dell / July 2007Notebook Repair: Dell does it again
My friend's cat knocked her new Latitude D520 off a table onto the floor, and it landed on the AC connector which broke the AC connector on the inside of the laptop. This is something that would not be covered under the normal warranties but because my friend ordered Complete Care though it was covered. She sent it in on Thursday morning through DHL, and they just delivered the fixed computer this afternoon (Monday) at 2pm. That is a 4 day turnaround, including weekend days. It's one of the reasons that I stay with Dell and endure otherwise spotty support. I hate cats but Dell is ok. > My friend's cat knocked her new Latitude D520 off a table onto the > floor, and it landed on the AC connector which broke the AC connector [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > That is a 4 day turnaround, including weekend days.

Yet another reason why furry animals are sworn enemies of computers! Make sure your friend keeps the air vents and cooling fans clear of cat hair, yet another cause for failure of computers. Not to sound like I'm discriminating against cats, dog hair is just as bad...

Ben Myers Also, any desktop systems placed on the floor, directly on carpeting are pretty much asking for significant dust accumulations ultimately. I actually filter the front of my homebuilt using Swiffer-type cloths to attract and retain dust. They work very well w/o creating drag/strain for the fans directly behind the filter, and seem to be a real help in avoiding dust accumulation inside the box. I cannot recommend dryer sheets, however. heh. That was another experiment gone wrong several years ago. I was overcome with "April Freshness" in about 10 minutes..... Stew Stew You should have used the dryer sheets with "Dank December" scent! ... Ben Myers >> Yet another reason why furry animals are sworn enemies of computers!

Turned a 15 x 15 room into a clothes dryer at an amazingly fast rate. Had to open doors and windows. The whole enchilada. g |
