Dell Inspiron 9100 review

Saturday 2 September 2006, 5:05 PM

Tons of video/monitor problems


Shortly after buying this desktop replacement, the video card failed, giving scrambled images. I had it replaced only to fail again. After the second fix, it ran without problems for a while, until the screen began to fail to turn on with the rest of the computer. I spoke to a Dell service center and they said that it was a motherboard problem that would cost $700 to repair. So, I have been living with a laptop that takes 3 to 10 reboots for the screen to turn on and work.
