There was no absolutely no visible damage at the transport packaging, so yes, we signed that thing. Already mailed the vendor.

Trying to resurrect a (probably) dead DELL laptop.
Doing the old "power LED comes on for 2 seconds then wont turn on" bit.

I have the owner's personal laptop disassembled on my desk, pretty sure it has a bad charger jack, it won't run off of AC or battery, nor will it charge. But the service tag is scraped off from use, so I can't contact Dell about warranty replacement parts.

It's amazing how many of these DELLs have power issues.
I buy DELL exclusively, and for the most part they have been good, but it makes you wonder...

We are also a Dell shop, but the number of issues I've had has been near zero. 2 or 3 failed server drives in 3 years. 1 laptop battery replacement (long out of warranty). I attribute this issue to the fact that his wife/kids were using this laptop. But it still has pro support because he bought it under the company account (smart move).

Yeah even the laptops that have died on me, died after a good number of years.

Most of the Dells that have died around here shipped with XP or Vista, so they had served for many years beyond expectations.

Ours aren't that bad, but close.
But with an i5, 4-8GB of RAM, and an SSD, they are fine.

Same with our HP desktops, failure rates near zero.

Luckily, we are replacing the old Optiplexes with new Precisions, dual SSDs, 16gb+, etc. Some of them even have dual CPU sockets.
