I have to hand it to Dell. Called them a couple of nights ago. I found a
couple of burned out pixels on my Inspiron 9400 that I purchased last month.
I chatted with the guy on the internet chat support. At first he tried to
tell me that was common for up to 6 to be burned out. ...

Hello, net denizens.
I have solved my problem, which was, to sum up, that my Palm Tungsten E2
would not sync on my new Dell Precision 380n with MEPIS Linux installed.
The details are more complex, however.  The Pilot *would* sync on a couple

I got what I wanted.

On June 6, this computer was still under warranty.
Tech support authorized a part replacement.

Not sure if these are the right places to post this, but probably this is

internal card in the side of his inspirion 6000...he has a motorola

profile of his headset with the laptop?  We have another guy in the

Dell Latitude D610 with ATI video. External monitor hooked up. Using
the external monitor as primary and the laptop screen as secondary.
Should have the option to set the laptop screen back to primary and not

My Dell laptop- 600m-  came with the Dell Wireless 1450 Internal

Has anyone managed to successfully install Windows Vista on the XPS 600?

If someone knows where appropriate controllers drivers for the XPS600 are

G'day mates,
Once upon a time I would have happily shelled out for a Dell, but Rod
has somewhat psyched me out with his claim about the Dell HDDs
operating at the upper limit of their temperature specs.  (Does that
