When you find yourself in "Dell Hell" without any phone numbers and a dead Dell this list may be helpful in your continuing journey. But in the future remember that the Dell Business model is all about *you* sending them money for products only they can service, making you wade through conversations with script readers in the 3rd world and then ignoring you. Only suckers buy Dell.

BTW, If Dell tells you to reformat your hard drive and re-install the operating system, DON'T! Refuse to lose your data. Make Dell repair the system and preserve your data. If they refuse, take your system to a local shop (in the San Francisco Bay Area call 650-596-3500) that CAN PRESERVE YOUR DATA! If will cost you money, but that is better than spending months re-creating all files, songs and documents on your computer.
