It's a new laptop - will that void my warranty?
It's a new laptop - will that void my warranty?
Yes it would. I'd forgotten, I thought I was still your old one :yikes. Something isn't right with it, it shouldn't be doing what it is, can you return it?
Having scrolled back and looked at the posts its a Dell. You should have Dell SupportAssist on it (in the Dell folder), where you can check hardware and Optimise your system.
I do, unfortunately, when I try to use it - I get "runtime" errors and it closes. Go figure...
I'm about ready to fucking explode.
I'm pretty much ready to just go postal. I've been on a 2 hour troubleshooting call with Dell. The guy took control of my laptop (which I thought was a good thing) and did all kinds of updates (not sure why I couldn't find these updates). Still, nothing worked and audioi problems continued. Then, when I rebooted - now I can't see my laptop on my TV like before. Nothing I do fixes it. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
So, he then sends me email with instructions on how to wipe my drive and start over. Instructions are simple. Only, my laptop will not start up via a USB drive. He gives me very simple instructions. Everything works until I get to the point where I'm supposed to tell it USB drive....and there are no choices for USB drive. So my laptop simply starts up normally. Over and over...nothing.

I don't know, I suspect it has a 30 day return policy...which I'm like at 40 days. @:
That 30 day return policy is probably the no-questions-asked return period, but normally warranty is 1 or 2 years. At least in Europa.I don't know, I suspect it has a 30 day return policy...which I'm like at 40 days. @:

So far, so good. Everything, including Foobar audio, Foobar fonts, Foobar meters. They all work like they did with my last laptop. My new one never did seem right. My Bluetooth keyboard continues to work flawlessly. No delayed keystrokes...even with multiple programs running.
This is how it should have been right out of the box. The thing that makes a person apprehensive when buying a new computer is....you really never know if it's the computer...or somehow it simply doesn't play nicely with all the other pieces you have in your network. It makes troubleshooting rather difficult.
