Hello, i have a dell XPS for almoast 2 years now and i have had only problems with it. I had to replace a hard-drive one year ago, when it was still under waranty, and a few weeks ago it started having errors regarding the AC adapter, i tried everything that you guys advised on the site, i tried updating bios, the LEDs on the battery don.t light up, the laptop works without the battery but it says it doesn.t recognize it and it runs at low performance. My guess is that this is a motherboard problem. Also when i play games the laptop freezes. The laptop can run any game there is, on almost any settings, yet it freezes even at the older games. This is clearly an nVidia problem. Yesterday, when i opened it in the morning, windows did not boot-up, so i ran a pre-boot diagnostics and it said error code 0146 (surprise surprise its the hard-drive). Now i have to replace the graphics card, the motherboard, the battery and the hard-drive, but it is out of waranty. What am i supposed to do? it is very expensive to change all of these, but it is not fair to support these expenses on my own money because the problems i had are from the laptop, which is not very old. The laptop never fell from anywhere so this is not normal.
I cannot renew the parts waranty because i am not from the US.
Could any dell employee tell me what should i do to fix this? i have tried asking someone from a laptop repair service about the AC adapter problem but they did not know what to do. I didn.t leave the laptop with them, i just asked.
