Dell Hell Lives! Can't get Video card replacement
My 4 yr old Dell Dimension's motherboard fried on me in July requiring a new computer. I bought an Inspiron from the Dell outlet. The experience of the purchase is a whole other hellish experience I won't get into, since that was resolved after hours on the phone for days and incredibly rude customer service.
I am having problems with the video card connection, so that I will lose the 2nd monitor if the connection is bumped. It took hours and days to get to the point that they agreed the hardware needed to be replaced. They promised me a tech would call to set up an appt to put the part in. I have never heard from this tech. I've called back numerous times, have even talked to a manager who also promised me it would be resolved, and still nothing. I don't have the time or energy to spend hours on the phone with Dell every day or even once a week! I'm desparate!
I've always bought Dell, but you can be sure I never will again. I have documented every call and every name, even writing down the times and what happened. I won't list all the details unless requested...I just want some help!!

Inappropriate?Hello,
My name is Christopher (DELL-Chris_M), and I work with Dell's Online Community Outreach program in our corporate headquarters here in Round Rock, Texas. My job is to work as a Liaison between Dell and outside internet communities in issues dealing with Desktop computers.
I am investigating the part delay. -
Inappropriate?The original dispatch used an incorrect part number. DELL-Jimmy_P setup anotehr dispatch using the correct part number.
-
Inappropriate?So what's the next step and how long is it going to take? I've already been dealing with this for over a month. I can't go near the back of my computer for fear I'll lose my screen.
Thank you for your help and prompt reply. Why can't Dell get their Customer Service dept as responsive, so people don't feel they need to take desparate measures?
I’m still frustrated

Inappropriate?We will send the part to a technician. He will contact you to arrange a time to come out. Not sure about the ETA on the call.
-
Inappropriate?The part generated a DHL waybill which means it is shipping tonight, hopefully you will be taken care of in the next day or two.

Inappropriate?I apologize it has taken me this long to get back to you and let you know this problem has been resolved. I posted this problem on Friday, and by Monday was receiving a call from the tech to setup an appt to put the new video card in. It was done on Tuesday. The tech guy was wonderful.
I can't thank you enough for helping me solve this problem. With my busy schedule, it was becoming impossible to find the time to be on the phone trying to fight this out with Dell.
Unfortunately, Dell support isn't responsive like you are here so I would have to think long and hard before buying Dell again. If they could provide the kind of support you did here, they'd have me as a customer for life!
Thank you again.
I’m satisfied

Inappropriate?I'm Glad we could help.
