I am not friends with Dell right now! by schwing12004-02-16 19:49:10

    Had a friend who was advised to f-disk by Dell by Sweethart2004-02-16 20:07:33
      A customer of mine... by nate_t_g 2004-02-16 20:24:50
...experienced a similar problem. He had a Dell Inspiron that had a problem with the printer port. After trying different printers, drivers, etc nothing worked. I then put a loopback unit on the port and ran some tests and proved the port was faulty. I instructed him to call Dell (they wouldn't talk to me) and explain the exact problem, and refuse anything other than a m/b replacment (in that laptop model the printer port was built in to the m/b - pretty normal arrangment). They frikin stonewalled him on scheduling a replacement m/b until he went through a disaster recovery with them to prove that wouldn't fix it. Fortunately for my customer I was EASILY smarter than those idiots (even with my brain tied behind my back), so I had already repartioned his drive into 2 partions and copied all his data over to the second partition, and ALSO backed it all up on CDR.
