So, my motherboard died. :(
I called Dell and they walked me through the process of removing cd drive, memory, hard drive, modem, wireless card, etc. The tech said... "sorry, the only thing left is the motherboard". To replace the motherboard for my inspiron 9100 would cost $150 for parts and about 500 in labor... add taxes, diagnostics, etc. and you can see how it quickly becomes a lost cause.
On Friday, I bought a new laptop (not a Dell) for about half the price I paid for the Dell. So far I am loving it. I am turning my old hard-drive into a 60 gig USB Drive.
Let the good times scroll
