My AC Adapter Connector (where the AC cord plugs into the computer) is loose and causes the screen to pulse, as if between battery source and AC source. I just got the Jack replaced in Dec, because it burned out. it was still loose after that and before I bought it in. I have to play around with it and pull the plug to the side so it makes connection. It doesn't make connection when the plug is in straight. Can it be fixed?

my laptop turns on, only one problem, the screen is dark. It only turns regular when I close and open it back, but that only last for about 2 seconds. I don\'t know what the problem is, please help me.

My Dell Inspiron 6000 is only a year or two old. The LCD flops back and forth. Can I get the hinges replaced?

When I try to power up my Dell D600 it doesn't boot. The CAPS LOCK light blinks 10 times. I took it to the G**k Squad who had it for 7 weeks only to tell me that it had a bad motherboard. Now what? I called Dell and they wanted like $600 for a motherboard.

Where can I get an Alienware D9T/D900T Motherboard? My system always ran too hot and one day it finally died. Alienware won't sell me a board. I have asked them on and off for almost 2 years now and they always tell me that they're "out of stock". I paid $4000 for this thing! What is the deal???

I heard that Dell is shipping the incorrect keyboard on some of their laptops. Is this true?
