They are paper thin and break if you breathe on them too hard! Did you get the Complete Care warranty, too? You can drop it out the window at 60, and they'll fix it.

No warranty, it's a refurb. Got it about 6 months ago... -- Jane Galt "There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism - by vote.

Got it about 6 months ago... You could purchase an extra warranty for it. Even the refurbs come with a standard warraty of one year, IIRC. Check your paperwork! I have repaired refurbs on warranty, but I thik you have to get the extended warranty before the original one expires. Of course, Dell is getting hard up for sales right now, so they may sell you the warranty just to get a few bucks. A lot of my clients are opting for warrantees on even five year old machines rather than buy new ones, and Dell gladly sells it to them! |
