Dell came through
I got my replacement notebook yesterday and to my great surprise, I also got a new docking station! I’m a happy bunny, even if the new docking station (combination of monitor stand and port replicator) feels less stable than the old one. But the notebook hasn’t crashed (yet), so I’m not complaining. Thank you to whoever it was at Dell who handled the replacement order!
As a curiosity, the packages included thick manuals for the monitor stand and port replicator, respectively, and no manual whatsoever for the laptop itself. 250+ pages for the solid monitor stand with one connector and two buttons… no I didn’t RTFM. Maybe that’s why the last one got broken, LOL!
Now, that manual we can call detailed
Hope your laptop is ok now!
That sounds like an tale with an happy ending! But, we will see. Have fun with the reinstallation of all the tools - maybe you directly install MS Vista - the most of our tools should work - which is the feedback I got. This will safe you from reinstall it again in a couple of weeks or at least months.
Kind regards
