Dell kept buyers in dark over hardware problems, say docs

Disingenuous

I still have a pile of these things in our development lab. At one point I bought replacement capacitors and started soldering with a co-worker. The baked capacitors are easy to spot and a pain to replace. We got through about 10 before I stopped in frustration. this was Dell's screwup and they still are not fixing this mess. We called them numerous times and they fobbed us off.

There are a bunch more and we still have about one fail every couple of weeks.

This makes me yearn for the days of Gateway and Packard Bell computers.

Dell. You suck.
