my 1520 died today a few months after the warranty is finished. called DELL and obviously they said that they cant help, since only those listed at the site

http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2...#commentmessage

are under the extended warranty program.

today, Sony admitted that their nvidia gpus are indeed faulty, and are offering 4 YEAR extended warranty for the respective problem... bloody hell, 4 bloody years for ALL the model involved, not just specific like dHELL.

man we should sue dHELL as soo bad, they'll plead us to stop.

i'm not about to stop and will continue harassing dHELL customer service until i get my justice. this is not about a specific model but the ENTIRE OF dHELL's model which carries 8400 and 8600 GPU. THEY MUST REPLACE OUR GPU AND MOBO!

HERE'S HP list of affected Model (free repair even after warranty finished.. add another 24 months respective warranty)

THOSE WITH THIS GPU PROBLEM SHOULD NEVER REPAIR THEIR LAPTOP, THEY ARE ENTITLED FOR A FREE REPAIR FROM THEIR VENDOR. THOSE WHO WAS REFUSED, NEED TO QUOTE THE OFFICIAL SITE, SCREW THEM. STAND FOR OUR RIGHT!

it is not settled.

and IT IS DELL's problem now, that NVIDIA paid the comp manufacturers 150-200m USD.

it's up to them to serve their customer.

and astria, please stop making remarks wethout knowledge.

SONY has just released admission that their NVIDIA equipped laptops are faulty... yesterday. so it's not an OLD issue. the issue is still here, that DELL refused to admit that the GPU they use are FAULTY from beginning. if you sell some faulty stuffs to your customer, whether or not it's under warranty you are entirely responsible.

I suggest you go do some reading before trolling

tsk, for those not in the know, they'll be lead to PAY for the repairs when they are supposed to get it for free, read through the thread and you know people are paying for it, when they can simply refer to the official site for a free repair.........

it is an old issue, but it resurfaced when sony declared that ALL the models with the 86 adn 84 are faulty. DELL still hanging on with their argument that only select few are affected, when the matter of fact is EVERY single one of the models are defect.

WHY on earth do you think these comp manufacturers are offering free repairs out of warrant for those affected? it's definitely not out of spite
