If Dell can't help they'll get someone else to!

I wanted to upgrade my Dell laptop’s memory in March of this year. (It’s May and I still have the problem)
Where do you go? The Dell website…Wrong!

You might spend two months, mostly waiting for a response to your emails.
You might spend time answering the same questions over and over again.
You might wait at work for a replacement part that arrives at home.
You might be told that because the warranty has now elapsed on the potential faulty part you have to talk directly with the manufacturers.

If you are me it is not a question of “might” this “will” happen and did.

Dell spent so long trying to solve my problem, the warranty ran out and so they washed their hands of the whole thing, asking me to go direct to the manufacturer of the part. Dell doesn't even know if the fault is with my laptop or the part!

What a wonderful example of extremely poor service - nice one guys!
