I recently bought a Dell Inspiron from the Dell Outlet-it was £300 below what it should have been for the spec I got
It was great for about 3 days,but then it the screen started going black and it went into 'lock' mode at random times whenever I was using the keyboard.It also lost internet and I had to use the Power button to get it going again.
After a long phone call Dell sent a technician round and he changed the motherboard and the wi-fi card. 2 days after he'd gone the screen went black again-but this time only for about 2 secs,then it went back to normal. On the phone Dell flashed the bios,but after a couple of days the problem returned.
Whilst on the phone to Dell the lady I was talking to asked me to 'hold' whilst she conferred with her supervisor.When she came back she asked if there were any magnets near the laptop-oh: oops-I wear a magnetic bracelet for arthritic pains (it does actually seem to work)
I took the bracelet off and the problems went Only snag was,that after 3 days I started to get pains in my hands again and a slight neck ache.
I now remove bracelet if I use laptop-simples :thumb:
Hope this may be of some use to someone else.
