I had the same issue on my i9300- dead ac jack, and told me it would be 500 for a referbed motherboard. I sent it to 800tech.com and they replaced the jack for about $120 shipped. You don't have to replace the whole m/b like Dell...

I have a broken DC plug on the back of my 9300 so I am unable to get power to the motherboard. I went to my local repair guy to see if I could get a new plug solderd in but he recommended I go to Dell since that doesn't always work (I'm...

You really think they will skip the single 8800 GTX and go right to SLI? That would be awesome, but Alienware has announced only non SLI versions at launch. It would also make it that much more likely that the 1720 gets at least a...

Well called them today after talking to tech support and creating a case number recieved a call from Dell's customer care 'executive' team about 6 hrs later and they are sending a replacement lcd! Amazing customer service, I'm a Dell...

OMG this is the exact problem I have!!!! I tried replacing the flex cable to no avail and was about to get a new inverter, but it looks like I need a new screen. Did you guys go ahead and buy new ones? They go for around 300 or so on...

damn that sucks, there would be no way to boost the other router as I'm trying to steal the signal. oh well, maybe I'll knock on some of my neighbors doors and see if one of the secured networks in my building will let me join in for a...

wouldn't an antenna boost the signal for both sending and recieving?

Is there a device that can extend the wireless range of my laptop (Dell 9300)? There is a free wireless router that I can log onto outside my building but not from inside and I think if I had an extra 200ft or so range I could snag it...
