You have way too much patience.
If you really JUST got this and having this much grief - do yourself a
favor and return it. DO not wait. Do not pass GO . Do not collect $200.
Just call them , get an RA number ( return authorization), box it up and
send it back.
With all of the problems you've reported, you're better to have them ship
another ' brand spanking new one' , than trying to fix a lemon. If you
wait too long that will not be an option. They will push back on you "
You never reported a problem sir so we cannot replace it ....." I've
known folks that have had that issue with Dell and stopped doing business
with them for just that reason - they were too nice and Dell pushed back.
