My uncle once told me that Dell computers are either really good, or utter crap. Can you guess which one I got stuck with?
Replaced motherboard? Check.
Replaced power supply? Check.
Booted computer? Check.
Replay of front USB hub frying computer? Check.
Apparently the Dell E510/5150 is being referred to as a $1000 paper weight. Thankfully I only paid $749 for mine… up front that is.
On a positive note, they managed to locate a replacement for the part Dell doesn’t offer a replacement for (the front USB hub). Something the Computer Cafe wouldn’t do. Estimated time of pickup is now Monday.
