Stupid computer is broken again. Thank goodness I keep most of my writing and other projects in the cloud. Talked to my brother the computer geek and he said it sounds like the motherboard, which I've had problems with before. So I guess I'll be calling Dell again. At least it's still under warranty, but I hate Dell's crappy customer support.

I've already done the research - it doesn't seem to be a common problem. Clearly I just have a bad motherboard that needs to be replaced. I just wonder how hard I'm going to have to fight Dell to get it done. They like making you jump through a bunch of hoops before they're willing to actually fix the problem.

Yeah, it does. The home consumer is such a small part of Dell's income that I guess they figure they don't need to try so hard with us.

exactly. And I've been happy with all my previous Dell's - it's just this one that's been a problem.

Good luck getting them to fix it. Hopefully you'll get someone reasonable on the first try and they won't give you trouble over it.

Botheration! But I' glad to hear that you haven't lost your writing at the same time...

Hope it gets fixed soon.

Thanks. I still have my laptop, although I don't have wireless at home. But I can bring it in to work and use the wireless there.

And I *am* still writing. Looks like Chapter 4 will end up being Chapter 5 but the new Chapter 4 is about halfway done.
