Hello,

So i was able to purchase an extended warranty from Dell for 300 dollars for my XPS M1330. The Dell Guy came into my business today and replaced the motherboard and my XPS m1330 is back to life. i certainly hated paying the 300 bucks,..but its one option to go to.

yes. You can call dell technical support...give them your service express code...they will offer a one time support for 49 dollars or an extended 1 year support for 300 dollars. (which covers parts labor etc..(basically everything)) I bought my one today and it was determined that my motherboard was bad. so i have a tech guy coming in wednesday to fix my laptop in my work. I hated paying for it...i still think its not fair considering i paid 2100 bucks (not 1800 i previously stated) for it in august 2007...thats basically less than two years and its gone bad. they should have fixed it for free for putting in defective motherboards in the laptop.

Nathan, I got the same issue with my XPS M1330. I am going to repair and sell it. BUY HP or SONY if you are into Laptops with windows OS. Thats what I am going to do!

I think that everyone here who has a warranty is still covered for this issue. However, for those suckers (like me) who are out of a warranty, they would have to pay $296 for an extended 1 year full warranty. I says suckers because this was originally a $1800 machine bought in OCtober 2007...I did not bother to pay a little extra and buy an 2 or 3 year warranty with it. That was stupid of me!

Ann Ang...I am all for putting up a petition for this. The question is how do we do this? I called and called Dell...and basically kept getting transfered to different departments/representatives...

I wanted to buy a motherboard for this but its too expensive. 200+ for a new motherboard.

I purchased mines in October 2007. warranty expired in October 2008. I bought the laptop for $1800 + IN the first week of May 2009, the laptop went completely dead. would not start. Tried different batteries and everything, just would not start. I called up Dell and they said i have to buy another warranty for 300 bucks to get it fixed since its a motherboard issue. Probably the last time i ever buy a Dell product

You know this just happened to my M1330 now. And basically Dell wants me to pay 300 becasue it is out of warranty. I paid over 1800 bucks for it and it just dies on me...its not fair. I am suspecting the motherboard went bad or someting. Dell should recall this laptop model. Bad motherboards. By the way, what did yhou end up doing with the laptop...did you repair it?

DELL XPS M1330 would not power up

My Dell XPS M1330 that went out of warranty in OCtober 2008 would not start. In the beginning of May 2009, the laptop just would not power on. I checked the battery indicator on the batter, and it was fine. it is in full power. but still, the laptop would not start. HELP! i paid 1800 + for this laptop, and now it would not even start. I called Dell but they said that I will have to pay 300 dollars for a new warranty. It Does not seem fair that the laptop would just not start working after about 1.5 years, and I have to pay 300 to repair it. IF it were a small issue with the laptop, it would be acceptable. But this comp just stopped working
