I had to work on a dell craptop for a client and it was an unneeded heater in almost 90 degree weather. just worked with it on the bed. but it made the room like 10 degrees hotter. I hate working on heaters.
I swear after 40 minutes I can fry and egg on the bottom. I was worried I would burn my new matress!
too bad there was no battery or it would have been cooler.
but I got the OS installed and some programs installed like MS office.
had avast on it but it crashed 4 times during scans so I put NOD32 and it seems to be ok.
oh and I tried the service tag and the vid card section had 4 different ati cards and 5 different nvidia cards.
aren't they spposed to have just the card that matched the exact order of the system and not some general thing???
tried the ati drivers with no luck but an nvidia one worked so i guess that will be ok lol. ati must hate me.
