I HATE DELL

• I will never buy another Dell as long as I live

  I hate Dell with every fiber of my being. I got 2 computers, a M4700 and a M4800 and none of them worked and I run an online business and have not been able to work while they keep breaking. Brand new, works does not in the delivery. I'm trying to get a refund now on the 2rd broken one in 5 months, and I went through the usual India bounce around and have been waiting for 45 minutes again. Last week, I was logged out 15 times. I told my story at least 20 different representatives who never write it down and then disconnect me. I don't understand how they have clients, running a business like that. I'm a Web Designer and computer consultant so that people ask me what to buy all the time. I'm going to write my story and leave it on the net. I've never jerked around this property. If I asked them to loss of activity and all the hours I spent waiting and trying to get this problem fixed, it would be 20 k more. No lie. This is my hourly rate more business lost because I have not had my computer for 5-6 weeks on / off power in 5 months. I've been waiting for more than 60 minutes after being transferred from the India. I listen to this music on hold lively again. Since I bought the computer of origin in December, it never worked right. He was dead out of the box. They send a tech guy who has replaced most of the parts and it never worked right, then they send me the M4800 3 weeks and he broke completely two weeks after I got it. I want a refund. I don't want a 3rd computer. Also, I have no computer. I can't work. Of course Dell tells me that they can't pay back me, because the original order went from 30 days. Which is ridiculous. How can they do that when I have a computer that has worked since the first day. I gave them a chance to solve this problem, and it is not fixed. I'm not waiting 90 minutes and they refuse to refund my money. I have to wait another 3 to 4 weeks to get a new computer. I can't believe they do. Now, I entered my code of service 7 times and it is not recognize all the numbers that you enter. It's like a loop with them. I can't get help. It is a nightmare.

  I'm blogging on my site, but the story is not yet done yet! I still have it in draft form.
  I never thought that he would go so long... in 8 months. Here's my nightmare to date.

  This is a true story as incredible as it sounds when you read it. What I find the most amazing, is how Dell is still in business running it like that. After about four months of Dell, I realized that I need the entire document. And the story is not yet finished and it's been 8 months and 4 computers later.

  9/2013- My Acer is overheated and cannot manage the level of video processing that I need for my business.
  I start shopping for a computer that will last me for years and be durable and reliable. Read criticism of M4700 for PC Magazine and think it's a good deal and good computer for my needs.

  Buy 9/13 this deal includes Pro support which is very important for me because of my bad history with Dell and terrible customer. I'm charged and the clock of the guarantee starts even if it's another two months before I was able to use the computer. Takes a full 6 weeks to get it. They ran out of somewhere.

  Oct 2013- Is not a DVD/R in writing, somehow, I missed it on the prescription. Send it back. Takes still 4 weeks
  
  Nov 2013 happens - I knowledge now, I did not Support Pro, and they will not give to me because it my mistake when I don't have for the accessible reader into writing. Too busy to put in place, leave it for a few weeks.
  
  DEC/2013, start moving files and put in place, but working on two computers for a month. Finally get all the programs installed, start using the start and I get a blue screen of death and multiple shut downs when you are doing something to do with videos, and then it becomes closed and blue just randomly screens downs for no apparent reason.
  
  January 2014 - blue screen boot all the time, before it was once or twice a week. Download Dell Remote help - middle of 3 hours of the night and can't fix. Reference Dell group still 2 hours and they can't fix it. Computer will not make any video work. The main reason I bought it. I'm starting to find a lot of other people on the Dell forum having the same problems. A lot of broken computers and blue screens that appear constantly.

  May 2014- Dell finally give up and decide to send me a new computer. Will be 2-3 weeks to get to me.
  A better that they say. I ask them to switch me to Support Pro because I had so many problems, they say no.

  End June, 2014 New M4800 arrives - spend hours to move files, reactivate all of my graphics and design programs web, office suite and many many programs I use for my business. Two weeks later, I'm downloading some work online and the computer becomes black. Does not start, all the lights at the top of the fair Board flashing.

  July 2014 Call Dell, hours later, looks like the motherboard is bad. I have no computer and now I have no access to my emails and my files of the company and everything else I need. Tech comes out two days later, change the motherboard, video card and more. Computer still does not. He has no idea what the problem is. Ordered another motherboard, just came back two days later, works again on this matter and considers "non repairable computer." I call Dell and they CS Rep tells me is not repairable does not mean it can't be solved. I talk to him, how can you say that? I need another computer replacement and before another 4 weeks. Now, I have no access to my work for the last 8 months and e-mails and they suggest I have borrow your desktop to someone if I can use the hard drive!

  I have an external one put in place, but it is useless to this situation on a laptop. The guy told me that I have to take the computer share following its directions on the phone until they send me a replacement.
  What the? Dell is going to force me to disassemble the computer to the phone until they send me a replacement? I already remove other two computers, and I'm getting sick of the present. All I wanted was a computer that worked. I have spent so many hours on it, and now they are forcing me to disassemble a computer? What kind of service is that?

  I hang up and cry. So I'm on my work. I need to get the job done and I can't. I call Anthony, my guy tech who tried to repair the computer and he is shocked by what they want to me and told him and his boss will try to help me get a faster replacement computer. He will try to reopen the case and talk to someone at Dell. They are independent contractors, and I can see fighting for not to say anything negative. He feels really bad for me, but he has no power or on what they are doing.

  I'm taking a break to talk to Dell, since I did not have another clock free hours for you can call, be disconnected and fight with them again. Whenever I call, I have to me shore mentally to deal with all the UPS crash and useful people and tell my story over and over again since the departments that I take care of not not talk to each other, and NONE of my problems are documented for the another dept to read. It's a nightmare. I realize there is good chance that I won't have a computer for weeks, then I begin to dig all the old computers that I and my Acer I bought the Dell to replace.

  It's Friday and the Ministry of replacement is closed and no one can help me before Monday. I called my credit card and try to get a refund and the refund Dept. is closed for Citibank until Monday too.

  My Acer must be at the top of the unit. I put a sweater and work standing on the air conditioner. I spend the weekend to transfer all files from 8 months ago at my dad's computer.
  The transfer of 'easy' of windows is 9 and a half hours. I spent the next 3 hours reactivate and install programs that don't yield on and digging at the old licenses and codes, all of which are on a list on the broken computer.

  

  July 29, 2014 Monday morning: first of all I call Citicard, a refund would solve all my problems. I desperately want to forget Dell forever and just buy another brand. Card bank Citibank refuses a refund. They say that Dell has a 3 year warranty, they cannot help me. I cried as I hang up. This is the first time I did not use my American Express card for a major purchase and I'm seriously regretting this choice right now. I called Citibank before I used the card to buy this computer and they told me that they had the same policy for refund/replacement such as American Express. Amex would be of me reimbursed. You can count on them regarding such things. I will never buy something big with my Citibank credit card again.

  I decided to try again with a different CS Rep., I hope they won't have me disassemble the computer it's release-able before they order me my 3rd computer but I have my tools out and I ready to to do that if that's the only way I can get my replacement computer.

  Dell phone service is the worst and after that I finally find the right dept I ask for a refund and they say no way, but when they put me on hold, I learned to be queued means that you will be disconnected with Dell. I think that 'hold' is the code for hang up on this person. I added to the top how time may that I was hooked to the top/disconnected upward by them and it now more than 30 times. The total number of real. Can you imagine if I was a boss or an employee for Dell? This is not the case for me.

  I connect everything and everyone that I get, I ask their name, and ask them to call me if we get disconnected. In two hours I'm trying to get help this morning I eventually call Dell more than 8 times. One of them told me before it disconnects / places awaiting me, "our software is.". Two of the 8 people who pulled swear me they help me and promise to call me if we're disconnected but never call back me. Another said to me earlier in the day, "we had problems with some of the parts of these machines. I have names for everyone, but they are not real half the time and you can never talk to them or even to find them. Two hours later, 8 disconnects and 5 times my story and enter all my information on the phone and listen to their music on hold, I now hate with a passion.  I get a CS Rep named Eric who says he will take my case and take responsibility for it.  He will order me a replacement. Erik assures me that he will be in charge of my case and I don't have to continue to talk to different people. I get the confirmation email saying he'll come within 10 working days.

  Usually 2-3 weeks of not having a working machine. Another day of shooting. I can't do any work for my clients and work piling up. Children begging me to buy a computer from anyone but Dell and just sell the following that they send me on Ebay. I feel that how can I do this to someone else? I don't know how the guarantee would transfer more and honestly, I feel like it would be dishonest to stick to a person with this problem.

  7/30 Computer replacement number 3. I try to remove the hard disk from broken replacement machine number 2, but one of the 5 screws to remove to get out the hard disk is stripped. A screw away from my life back. I call Dell.
  Customer Service-says his name is "Alex", I ask to be sent to a tech person to remove the screw. Waiting and the phone for an hour. Refused. I told me they don't do that. I need to go somewhere and pay me or mail back into the computer and they will then send me the back of the hard drive.
  Within 10 working days. I've now had my computer for more than 5 weeks. I pray you, they refuse. I take the hardware to the computer store and they use their tools extractor and may not leave the screw. They are trying. I love my local hardware store. Thank you True Value Hardware in Castro Valley, you guys are the best. They are like your time old corner store. They are actually in the middle of a neighborhood. They seem to have a bit of everything and generous in offering to help you when you have these weird problems. I'm going home and email Eric, my rep cs who promised that he would take responsibility for my case, and I ask him to help me please. Here's what he sent back 24 hours later.
  "I'm sorry, Madam, but I must inform you that I no longer work in the Department of the workstation. I have moved to another Department and no longer have my old cases, including yours. Your case will be given to a new owner if. I trust that they will be able to solve your problem. ».
  I just laugh at it. I'm at the point now where the only thing that will make me feel better is to publish my story and leave my honest comments everywhere on the internet. Dell will spend millions to get new customers and then they treat them like that. What is the problem with this company? I will become the person walking anti-dell in my personal life.
  A dark reminder of what can happen with Dell if you have any kind of problems. I have send an email 'Mary', who told me her name was Alex yesterday, but my follow-up e-mail is Mary. Now I ask a confirmation email whenever I talk to someone, but I only get these about 1 5 times. I learned to try to force them to send me an e-mail while I'm still on the phone. I beg you to help me. No response... never.
  I now know to call, nobody will help twice. Just wait for that if you buy a Dell computer. You never have a person who will help you in fact. They are all fired the ball and you can't get real names, extensions or anything like that.
  
  7/31 call CS Rep name is Karla. 1 hour. I make sure Karla is going to call me at the time where I'm getting hung up. She is wise and never put me on hold for the whole time we're talking about. She puts just the phone down instead. Seriously, I think that it is the ONLY way that Dell will not cut you. I feel hope, it may be actually trying to help me. I request this be dealt with in order to return the computer and recover the hard disk. I'm ready to box it upward, and then return to the UPS Store for the 4th time to regain a Dell computer. I ask him if they can speed up it somehow since I am now 5 weeks without a working computer.
  At this point, I do not expect anything. I kept telling them how I run an online business and can't do my job and have the year last of my life on this hard drive. Why bother? They don't care. No one took in charge the world this month as any other 8 that my CS Rep John 1, whose email I can't access even more and they wouldn't give it to me once again when I asked. Karla talking to several departments different and after a lot of time to hold (but not actually put on hold, thank God), she tells me that they will send a technician home to remove the screw. Seriously? Can you even believe this? I begged Mary/Alex yesterday and she was cold and unyielding, there is no way that would happen. I expressed my disbelief to Karla, who said only: I am pleased that help you, it will be 3-4 days for the service call? Much better than the 10 days that looks more like 3 weeks.

  Independent contractor for Dell Anthony released two days later and can't get out the screw.
  Now he almost 05:00 for Dell and I will not be able to get any aid again until Monday, this guy Brian tells me that I'm out of warranty before it bothers even to read my file. I tell him I'm on my replacement computer 3rd of them so I'm certainly not out of warranty. And to find my service ticket, he put me on hold and... Click, disconnected. Every time. Like clockwork.

  I call back review this brand-new and the rep, Josephine said I have to put you on hold... I Scream no, until it can do (and disconnect me again), and I beg him to put just the phone down.  She does and I have heard all the people on the phone, wow, who are strong and then after 5 minutes it goes silent... oh no, please please do not disconnect me once again... I have to just sit here and wait for the operator turns on and says: ' If you want to make a call, please hang up and try again. Wow, I truly memorized by high hanging on so many times by Dell and hear the interrupt message. Josephine, he said now the warranty is not displayed. Honestly at this point, I think I should write off the 2000.00 for this machine and forget it. I easily lost 10 times x billable hours and work during this period of not being able to do my job and on the phone trying to correct problems with Dell. Josephine treated the return of order, and I ask him how can I be sure that I will come back this hard drive? I don't trust them at all. I do not hang up until I get the email of its confirming everything. Also sincere to someone of you other sufferers as it there, don't let them put you on hold! Tell them to put just the phone down. It's the only way you will not be disconnected.

  

  Since I bought the first Dell Sept 2013, I do not have the use of my computer for 4 months. Up to half of the time since I placed the original order. As of today, I am looking at another 2 weeks until they send me back my hard drive. I do not have a usable computer to return to my work online.
  I was forced to recreate jobs and combine work better as I can for my clients. My email is an obsolete year now and I have no access to the programs and files on the hard drive that has a stripped screw.

  TO BE CONFIRMED...

• Can I use the program of mechanical system based on my computer Windows 8? Dell put pressure on me to do whenever I call them. I finally gave in last night and had them install.

  Should I use basic mechanical system on my new Windows 8?  Whenever I have call Dell for support on another issue, they me to do this, the pressure insisting that Dell prefers customers to have this and it is very important.   I finally gave in last night after two hours of tired discussion (always support the India).  They carried me, against my better judgment and I charged $115.  (When I asked the price several times, each person evaded my question with finesse.  4 people, quite hammered me on this subject.)  I found it only cost $40 on the site of SM, so for me it is a real scam and will take opening upward with them tomorrow when business offices.  Everything I read in the MS community suggests that it is a bad idea, but I'm not clear on the question of whether it applies to Windows 8.

  I really hate Dell support and hold that I had utilisΘ Geek squad.  Microsoft so far has been very useful for its support.

  You must uninstall System Mechanic and not to install any third party maintenance program if free or paid for.

  I would not recommend Geek Squad either (after having seen a lot of posts here related)

  You sure it was Dell support were you talking so that I find it most odd that they suggested you buy such a third-party utility.

  On the rare occasions I have talked or emailed Dell support they never proposed such a utility

• Hard Drive Click / Clack / Parking every minute (hear for yourself)

  I'm officially rename noise clickign from hard drive to a DELL TORTURE DEVICE.

  I'm literally a few days back from my brand new laptop M1530 due to this noise. It's the thing the stronger on my entire computer... in fact, the strongest sound from any computer I've owned since the dawn of time.

  BUT I can't decide if it's more or less annoying than the WHINING coming from the CPU... God, I hate dell

  in any case... Here are a few cool records the click. They were recorded with a directional microphone sitting ontop of a hard drive backwards. The constant buzz, you can hear in the background is the M1530 fan.

  clack1.wav

  clack2.wav

  clack4.wav

  clack5.wav

  In the recording, it may seem like this sound is low... but believe me... That's at least 5 x stronger than the normal drive access sounds... many times stronger than the spin-down the drive startup sound will do if Power Options (DIFFERENT of THE PARKING) turns.

  I discovered that the MAA (acoustaic management) does not work on SATA. This is in agreement with the fact that NONE of the three settings in the bios are making a difference in his hard drive (derivation, quiet, performance).

  Reference Dell will return a $1,600 on their hands, if it is not fixed soon

• PXE cannot start with XPS 13 9350

  My company has recently had to buy a few new laptops due to expansion, and the XPS 12 9333 was no longer available, so we sold the XPS 13 9350 instead, having received assurance that it is the same system and everything will be supported as it was with the XPS 12. I ran through the normal steps in the BIOS to ensure a compatibility PXE boot (disable Secure Boot, select Startup inherited, etc. options), but when I hit the F12 key to try to perform a network boot I don't see the option in the start menu. All I see is Windows and the Samsung SSD Boot Manager. Someone at - it else here had this problem and managed to resolve it? We use Ethernet USB21000S2 StarTech adapters suggested, that Dell sold us.

  Trying to deal with their customer support has proven me why I HATE DELL with a passion. Advised to my boss to go with ASUS or Lenovo, but she wanted to go with Dell because of a long-standing commercial relationship. You can not get someone who speaks clear English on line, you will need to explain your problem 10 times before you finally get someone who is able/willing to help. No one seems to understand what I meant by PXE boot or told me he is not allowed on their laptops.

  Hi Rick,

  Thanks for the reply. We have tried all the suggestions that you pointed out, but nothing has been able to get the Startech adapter to work. You don't know if it is related to two USB 3.0 ports or not, but it seems that the Startech USB21000 does not work with the Dell XPS 13 9350.

  I had to buy an adapter Ethernet USB - C, and which went through without any problems. About 1/2 also took time to the Startech adapter took which was a pleasant surprise.

• I installed a Dell OS disk on my Satellite Pro L350-107

  Call me a fool, but I don't know much about drivers or install vista.

  I'll tell you guys everything in order to make as much sense as possible:

  I was just looking on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L350-107, a. MKV file on a program called "Zoom Player", it arises abruptly saying "zoom player has stopped working. So I clicked the pop-up on X but my laptop crashed and I had to power off button power holding down for 5 seconds.

  After this incident, I turned on the laptop back, everything was normal until about two minutes to check in, everything froze again and again and again until I gave up on it. The next morning, I discovered that my father has managed to use the account invited without problems, so instantly, I logged into my account to see pop ups like "flash cards stopped working" and anything associated with toshiba to crash, but I could always use internet.

  I decided to do a system restore, after 2 failed attempts I finally restored my laptop to the earliest date, and everything was fine until about an hour into the laptop, it would crash like what I explained above.

  Then my father got a copy of mcafee, and we were looking for viruses, at halfway of the analysis, it found 2 Trojan horses, but crashed in the middle of the overall analysis. Now, here's the real problem...

  I got an operating system disk, due to the fact that I thought he was just install vista again, I formatted the hard drive to the L350 - 107 and proceeded with the installation, but I had to install second hard disk, because on the c / reader could not. After intall vista was full, I wanted to check what are the components, but the operating drive was a dell disk use and now think that it is a dell. Now the screen is stuck on a screen of 32-bit and none of the pilot are related, due to them being drivers toshiba not dell.

  I tried looking for drivers and sought a downloadable operating system disk, but nothing has worked, toshiba stopped giving an operating with their laptops drive (so I heard).

  Please, someone help me! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

  Hello

• IBoot problem on a Dell 4100 under Win XP Home SP3 computer.

  The system boots to a screen of windows where I get my system password, then crashes. A blue screen with the Dell logo appears and persists for about 30 seconds, followed by a brief message from BACK (too fast to read). Boot to Windows then tries to start again after a pop up announcing that the system has experienced a serious problem and that I'm selective. Windows then loads successfully, and I have no other problems except for an occasional system lock that occurs randomly with different applications running.
  I tried to do a system repair from the original Win XP disk, but the repair option refuses to recognize my password. I did not use a password up to l after you install service pack #3. The system accepts this password when I finally get Windows to load as an administrator.
  Issues related to the:
  Can I use the repair feature from the original disk of XP, or if I should use the last Service Pack disk? I have a disc for Service Pack 2, but no Service Pack # 3?
  How can I recover the administrator password? I keep a meticulous log, but can't find where I am already entered a password.

  Hello

  With Linux, as any OS, iSCSI is not different from the SAS/SATA or Fibre Channel.  No matter how you are connected to a "disk", it looks like a SCSI to the OS disk.

  So yes, you use the mount points.   That's how Linux as most UNIX operating systems do it.  But use any method supported for other iSCSI disks.   In Windows, you can use drive letters or mount points.

  Kind regards

• "Dell Backup and Recovery" asking the upgrade with the inspiron 15 model

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum and also started to use the Dell laptop. I bought Dell Inspiron 15 (model 3521) 01-Jan-2014. I am trying to take backup of my laptop on a DVD. When I clicked on 'Backup and restore of Dell' app in app Manager. I try to click on backup system option 'Dell backup and recovery' section, its upgrade premium or enter key. Its not that allows to create backup DVDs.

  What may be the issue? Because when I bought it, seller said that his original one.

  It's part a scam from Dell.  I've got 5 Dell portable computers/computers / tables all have this software on it with a VERY limited useage then weekly or if I get a pop window op offering the upgrade at a special price which, in the end, is the same price as if you would have just bought or 'improved' (like Dell likes to call it) the program to a regular price which IS : 39.99.

  What I hate about businesses, in particular, the one that I spend a lot of money with it, is when they think they can put a quick access on me or in my case 5 times that I have 5 of these upgrade special offer windows popping up each week.

  You're better off getting programs like Goodsync which will back up your computer or synchronize your files on an external hard drive, and that you can use on all of your computers for only $29.99.  I use it on my servers and my offices.

  Otherwise good luck with Dell and their implementation to special day called 'offer' that is the price of retail, after all.  NOT COOL DELL ALL!

• Turn off the Dell OSD Volume?

  I use windows with a dell u3415w 10 and I really hate the OSD for Dell monitors. I want to disable it and return to the windows volume bar standard 10. How can I do this?

  Ugh. I'm sorry. The icon of the popup was actually Logitech Setpoint and no Dell drivers. I installed both at the same time. Sorry! Just had to go in and edit the XML file for instructions and everything is back to normal.

  Thanks for the help anyway!

• What was the last Windows 7 PCs made by Dell?

  I want to buy a desktop computer Windows 7 for my elderly mother (I HATE WINDOWS 8!)  What is the model name and number info on latest Windows 7 Dell PC?  She has only to e-mail and browsing the internet.  It has wifi, it can use it on a cable.

  Hi Savra,

  I would recommend that you look at the options in small businesses, of which many are still sold with Windows 7, such as the Optiplex 3020.

• Dell C6100 reference: Beginner complete

  Hello

  I was going to set up a cluster, using several desktop computers, when I came across the poweredge C6100 XS23-TY3.

  At first glance, this would be much cheaper with faster rendertimes (according to the scores of cinebench). But I don't know if all the hassle of catching a C6100 and running, worth it.

  While I'm a total newbie when it comes to cloud servers, I have several questions about the c6100.

  (1) when it comes to Windows OS, I guess I have to use Windows 2008 R2 or 2012? What is the best/most reliable option?

  (2) I guess I have to install Windows on each node?

  (3) and windows enough to make the C6100 upward and the race, or do I need other software as well?

  (4) as the C6100 has a sata controller, can I use an SSD instead of a SAS drive? And if so, is it also Plug'n play like in regular jobs or is it more than that?

  (5) if I have to install the software on each node, is possible at once, without access to each node separately? I am aware that there renderfarms, which consists of 3000 nodes or more. I can't imagine they have to the remote desktop of each node, in order to install a new plugin.

  (6) any known problems with the C6100?

  Thanks in advance!
