Scratch & dent or refurb?

I'm looking on the line of Latitude 5420 Dell engaged made. There are so many refurb and scratch & dent available. All things being equal, what is the best bet, the s & d because it did not have problems or the refurb where problems have allegedly been fixed?

Hi Jimco,

Some s & d are very minor flaws. The refurb are PCs that have been classified by mistake when the buyer has changed his opinion. An option is not better than the other.  I am looking on the pc that has the ram, HD and graphics card you want. When you get it, if something will not you can send it back. Consumer Division has twenty-one days to be returned for replacement or refund. I don't know if it's the same for companies.

  • Dell Outlet Scratch & Dent mean actually?

    Don't crucify me, this is my first post and I hope an honest answer. If this has been asked a million times, well remember the first time you've posted and relax. I ordered a Dell unplug computer this weekend. On the site, there are several options, Scratch & tooth, certified refurbished and Dell taken again. I chose Scratch & tooth go to nowadays, the computer comes up with a big label green on your stay refurbished. The customer support (3rd world) told me that's how it always is. What gives?

    I admit it is confusing. All the decision-making of Dell's refurbished. This is a legal notice that Dell must put on the box, because the product is sold.

    New output = sealed products that have been either cancelled or unopened returns at the factory. New products taken have not cosmetic defects.

    Given to nine certified = previously opened/used products returned to Dell. They are tested and then resold. Product may have some cosmetic defects that do not affect the performance.

    Scratch & tooth certified product = re-machined who have considerable aesthetic imperfections that do not affect the performance.

  • Updating the measures for Win - XP Pro, SP1 to SP3 (jump SP2?)

    I do volunteer work 1/2 day per week for a small organization non-profit organizations with a very limited budget (almost non-existent). We work in the given space, but have free access to the DSL service.

    We have the following...

    1 2000 computer HP desktop, Intel Pentium 4, Windows 2000, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB, CD - R, IE - 6 hard drive.

    2 2006 Compaq desktop with Win - XP SP3, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB HD, CD - R, IE-8.

    3. computer acer laptop 2008, Win - XP SP3 with 512 MB RAM, 40 GB HD, CD-R/W that works (depending on what day of the week, it comes), IE-8.

    One of our local "family" donated the following for us...

    2004 work HP desktop with Win - XP Pro SP1, 512 MB RAM, 105 GB HD (less than 30 GB used), CD - RW, DVD-R, IE-6,

    -plus a new module of RAM of 512 MB which could be installed.

    -a new, but not installed, updated graphics card.

    These two were going to be installed, but the client fell sick and recently passed away.

    While this desktop computer is older, it has been used very little, 'C' part of the HD less than 30 GB of 105 GB used, less than 2% of disk fragmentation, no scratches, dents, original basic mouse and keyboard... excellent shape.

    In order to remove the HP 2000 desktop computer, I suggest the following...

    (A) delete all the old software, except the WIN - XP.

    (B) defrag the HD.

    (C) the Win - XP, SP1 rollback "original updated" status. HP support pages imply that he is a "clean install". HP has the SP1 of Win - XP original on a segment of "recovery" of the HD.

    What else is necessary (I guess)...

    1. install the new 512 MD RAM module.

    2. check that the current power out sufficient to manage the 'new' graphics card (requires 250 watt power)... and install the new graphics card... or just stay with the existing graphics capabilities if the power supply is insufficient.

    3. update all hardware drivers.

    4. load Win - XP, SP2, and SP3... or just go to SP1 SP3? (comments, please)

    5 install Internet Explorer 8... or IE-9? (comments, please).

    6. use of Win - XP SP3 and security center firewall... or install (?) for a protection antivirus and antispyware... suggestions sincerely appreciated.

    7 install MS Office 2007 Pro (unused software, gift).

    My dilemma... What is the sequence own/recommended to perform all these steps...

    A / B / C / D? and 1-2-3-4-5-6-7?

    Remember that we do not have money for a new computer, but I don't have the time and (I think) the ability to perform the steps.

    Thanks for your suggestions, recommendations and comments.

    Greetings - FLgal

    Your Service Pack 3 CD contains the SP3 .exe Setup file, so you don't need to download what you fortunately already.

    If you need to download this file, it would have been safer to do using another PC. But since you have it, don't you worry in this regard. :-)

    So you're on the right track!

  • New Clip + has no display

    I just got a new Sansa Clip + and I only see a small headset and the 'music' on the screen (the battery indicator too). What is a sticker that should be removed? No matter what I do, I don't see anything on the screen, except that.

    Yes. It is there to protect the screen from scratches/dents/damage during the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping. There is a small tab (top-right if I remember correctly) to help you start to take off.

    I have tried reinstalling the drivers wireless (sp41675) but got no results.
    I tried to boot in to an installation of Windows 7 which has worked the last time that I used a few weeks ago, but the wireless device is not detected in Device Manager or Windows 7 network connection.

    My laptop is eligible free repair?

    Can I just send my adapter wireless for HP and ask them to send me a new?

    My wireless card is labelled as "AS #: 418572-001 SPS #: 441090-001. An Ebay search for "441090-001" returns several cards of the same branded wireless network than mine and identical to mine in appearance. Instead of trying to get HP to fix my laptop should I buy a new wireless adapter and install it myself?

    Users to read this, please answer the question if you have a relevant personal experience.
    I read of clients receiving computers repaired HP with new damage (http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1245913498963+28353475&threadId=1143379), likely incurred during transport or repair of HP. After receiving a HP laptop repair, have you seen new scratches, dents, cracks, or other damage?

    I have my HP laptop, works perfectly.

    To answer my own questions:

    Yes, my cell phone was eligible for a free repair.

    No, I couldn't send just the wireless network adapter (would have been a mistake anyway).

    No, HP has not damaged my laptop.

    I contacted HP and established that my laptop was entitled to repair to the title of "HP limited warranty extra Service. HP sent me a box with a prepaid FedEx label, and I sent them my laptop. Before sending to my HP laptop, I removed the hard drive; the low probability of my data get damaged was unacceptable; I have backed up my data, but that would have taken two days to USB data transfer speed. I got my laptop back to HP repair in the next few days and after a thorough inspection, I find no damage to the laptop caused by HP, if it was a lil dusty. For a while I thought I found a new crack loosed in a low service panels, but after looking at the photos I had taken before sending the laptop I found that the crack is not new, so Bravo to HP.

    With the laptop repaired, HP sent a document that details the "motherboard" and 'Thermal Pad' had been replaced. I was curious to know exactly what work had been done, so I called HP and asked questions about spare parts references. The "motherboard" was part number 10MBZZZ0TPJ, which a Google search has this part is also known as 443775-001 and it costs about $190 to replace. The "thermal Pad" had JXAT3001010 part number, which I have found no info on.

    CAVEAT! CAVEAT! NERD RANT!
    Frankly, when I first called HP on the problem, the person I spoke to kept implying that it was the motherboard that needed to be replaced NOT the wireless network adapter, and I thought it was absurd; much more likely that it was a problem of component. Now that I have the confirmation that it was the motherboard, I am quite concerned that in about two years I'm going to need a different motherboard, and the "HP limited warranty extra Service" warranty only lasts for 90 days from now. Motherboard failure should be the exception, not the norm! I have several computers that are nine and ten years OLD and works very well when properly proposed. I have my grandmother using a desktop Dell Optiplex 2000 computer to check his e-mail. I have a Mac Powerbook from 1999 that I emulate video games and I'm using a ThinkPad IBM in 2002 as a jukebox for my Entertainment Center. A few months ago I was repairing 9 old Dell Optiplex (2000 vintage) offices, on the job had a bad motherboard VGA video and a keyboard bad connection PS/2; failure motherboard 22% after nine years! For the motherboard to miss my DV6000 since 2007 is ridiculous.

    Call HP. They will probably fix your problem for free.

    Why you reinstall vista in the first place? Have you tried to solve the problem with your wireless network card?

    If you have lost wireless once (first occurrence), reinstalled vista to try to solve the problem has got back wireless, and started to update and still lost wireless (second instance) then I would agree this is probably a software problem. If losing wireless after that resettlement was only the first occurrence of losing wireless, then maybe you should try re-reinstall. The point at which you lost wireless have actual hardware failure, it all depends on if you can get wireless back, willingly or by force. I knew my hardware problem and not software because I had an installation of Windows 7 that I knew worked very well, but still he could see my wireless network card.

    In any case... Try calling HP. side of customer support call center jobs being outsourced in India, I must say that I am satisfied with the HP Technology Support; Although I'd be quite satisfied with the quality of their product!

  • scratches screen iPhone SE

    Recently, I replaced my iPhone with the iPhone 5 SE. I have my baby equipment, but on my 5 I've ever had a screen protector and never had any scratches. Not at all. I pre-ordered the SE, and it was to be alone in my jacket pocket (same place I kept my 5S for two years) or the face up on my desk. At this point, there are several scratches on the screen of my SE, and I don't know how it happened, that this phone has only been subjected to light use. Is it because of haste in production, or a cost-saving measure? Also, if I bring it in as AppleCare, it will be replaced and not with a refurb, but a new phone? This screen problem was addressed, or even recognized by Apple? To say that I am extremely disappointed is an understatement. I spent money on a superior product which, from this point of view is worse than that I replaced. I'm afraid to use the phone now, because I'm worried it will just worsen over time.

    Only Apple could answer your original questions, but I doubt it has anything to do with rush or savings. However, speculation about how and why Apple does things are banned on the forum.

    With respect to the replacement, they generally do not replace phones for aesthetic problems as long as the unit still works normally. However, you have the opportunity to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have Apple look at the device and an opinion. Don't be surprised if they do not replace it. And if the device is replaced, Apple can replace with refurb or news, depending on the stock. They replace not again due to a customer request.

    This has been acknowledged? I didn't know anything saying that he had a problem with the iPhone screen SE.

    If you're disappointed, you will need to notify Apple. They are not here, this is a user to user support forum. Back to Apple goes to http://www.apple.com/feedback , and then click the area on the matter.

  • Can not find card his after clean reinstall from scratch for 32-bit vista from 64

    Hello everyone,

    Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me with this frustrating problem.

    I did a clean reinstall from scratch from vista 32 bit vista 64.   None of my goodies (mp3 player, phone... all unfortunately outdated) played on the 64 version.  That's why I nuked it.

    Resettlement has worked like a charm, except that now I can't get anything external outlets, which worked fine before the reinstall.  I used all aspects of the Device Manager and checked for downloads on each.  When I go to sound devices, it lists the sound card as "device high definition audio" and said that the software has been updated.

    The internal speakers are the delicious Altec Lansings... and they work fine.  In fact, when I plug something into the headphone Sockets, they continue to work.

    Therefore, I'm trying to find the name of the card its installed on my build and then find the driver for it.

    Here are all the specs from the rear if you need:

  • Reinstall Windows 7 from scratch on Area 51 ALX

    Hi again all,

    So, I just bought a new area 51 R2 (not upwards and turns yet, but I'll be sure to change my signature to the new machine in due course!) and need to restore my machine with a fresh install of W7 before I sell it on.

    My machine was purchased as a refurb almost new that I got from the selling company to install W7 to before they shipped it. I don't have a recovery partition or DVD (although even if I did, they would put Vista on), so I need to start from scratch. I have a W7 ISO and obviously valid an OEM key. This works because I had to do an excessive installation of W7 a few weeks ago that things started to go wrong.

    I remember correctly see the instructions here on how to re - install from scratch, who went into the details on how to add drivers and in what order, but I can't seem to find it.

    Can someone point my in the right direction? Thank you! :)

    Let's assume that your Mio worked before the reinstall & still work afterwards, given that your case illuminate at least one color; I'd be willing to bet that cmndcntr expected on .net framework 4; If you have installed CmndCntr 2.08.11 while the version need. NET3.5 certainly.

    I'm still trying to understand exactly what does PS with a working drive, but in any case it seems that my system works as it should. I'm always puzzled by why PS is not making much of a dent in my 32 GB of RAM but filling my empty temporary files disk?

    That aside, it seems that I need a disc of more work for the size of the file that I work with.  Currently, I have a 128G SSD designated as my drive to work (Nothing on it), my OS and applications on a separate DSS, my working file on a separate SSD, LR catalog on another SSD and files and others on readers separate tray internal and external.

    I work with a 32G file and keep getting bogged down. I read that the drive working should be anywhere from 10 to 100 times larger than the file you are editing - it is a wide choice. I guess that depending on the size of your working file your drive to work may have to be exponentially larger?

    So, given a 32G working file (that will get done adding layers, not bigger), this drive working size would you recommend?

    As I understand it, the scratch disk is the main memory of Photoshop, and it uses the RAM as a cache. Normally, Photoshop deletes temporary files when closing, but if, due to a power failure or a crash, some temporary files remain, they can be removed safely.

    Hello

    It is possible that you did only scratched in the coating resistant to fingerprints, repellent. It is normal that this coating to wear away under normal conditions of use, but it can become scratched without damaging the screen below.

    If you have scratched the screen or not, Apple recommends not using products cleaning or polishing or Polish the watch with abrasives; These will carry away the lining and may also (still) scratches on the display under.

    The watch is covered under limited warranty a year Apple against any material or manufacturing defect, but not against accidental damage or misuse. The apparent defects - which include scratches - are not covered under warranty (AppleCare or +).

    If you make a Genius Bar reservation, Apple may inspect the brand and advise of any available service options:

    A good quality screen protector (thin film type) can be effective in concealing or reducing the visibility of the brands, as well as to provide some protection against future damage.
