Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

 Sooo, long story short; I had my laptop for 10 months. A few months ago I started to have problems: My computer would run games as if the computer were running on batteries, even if I had the AC adapter plugged in or not. I thought to myself "maybe I muddled up my adapters" so I used my dad's girlfriends adapter. Success! My computer ran games again, properly! Then a week later, same problem. Fail. So then I'm like wtf, I can't play games on my laptop, which is the reason why I bought this 10lb beast. My dad has an M90 so I tried out his 130Watt AC adapter and the comp ran flawlessly, the only problem is that he keeps taking his fucking adapter away from me.. Fucker.. So I phoned up Dell Customer Support knowing full well that it's my adapter as I have tried several adapters and the BIOS recognizes the other two, their power etc, except my adapter says "Unkown Adapter Installed" or something. So now, instead of shippin me over a new AC adapter, they want me to waste a fuckin week of my time to ship me a box that I can stuff my laptop in, then ship it off to Dell to "troubleshoot". They are going to see if it's the mobo or the AC Adapter and test it by accessing my fucking user account and running a game or doing diagnostics. Bullshit. They are going to take my computer, take my personal infor-fucking mation and give me a new AC Adapter.
Those fuckers..
What do you guys think is the problem/what do you think they are gonna do with my comp
(maybe this should be schooling fish)

 use norton ghost, create an image of your hd as it is now, reformat, and when it comes back, just load the old image on.

ermm. now you asked for the full story tongue
Parents = separated. 2 different houses. 10 min drive apart. I have a car, i need to be at my moms the first half of the week and at my dads the second half. I bought a desktop a few years back and I've been upgrading on occasion. It has been what I've been using the past while to play CS, it runs at 40-90fps but it's not efficient to pack it up and unload it at a different house every 3 days, especially when I have 2 CRT monitors connected to it and 5.1 Surround sound speakers... Too much to deal with, so I bought a laptop able to run games so I can game at both parent's houses every day of the week.

I don't have the time to burn all my files.. I am busy all day then I have soccer in the evenings, and they are sending the box today so it should be here tomorrow in which case I will be shipping my comp out.. I don't have the time to back it up, which I definately should with my CSS files (demos, screenshots, etc) but I already have my music backed up.

 Alienware Laptops are the high end of dells ownership. if you buy a laptop that isnt alienware your asking for problems, especially if you game like you do.

 Yeah, I wanted an Alienware comp, but I didn't have the cash for it, on top of the fact that Alienware is American, and Dell offers nice warranty and free shipping etc, which is an aspect of my budget. My inspiron 9400 with a T7400 Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz processor with 4mb cache, 2 ghz of ram clocked at 667mhz and my nvidia go 7900gs all come in handy for the price I got it at.

 If you buy a laptop that isn't Alienware, you're asking for something that isn't at least the worst customer service ever, ever, EVER.

Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much
