1150 problems

Yes. My Inspiron 1150 will die on me if I disturb it too much (Move it too much or something along those lines) so I was curious to any solutions I should try or if I will have to send it in to get fixed.
 
Thanks

    Sounds like somehting is loose or shorting on the motherboard...

    If you have your warrenty just go thru Dell since that's what you paid for ;)...

    If your warrenty is short (1 year) take this as a sign to call Dell and extend it by a few more years ;)...

    I have a 3 year limited waranty but I'm guessing that doesn't mean jack, right?

    What is it that you mean?

    If it's under warrenty get Dell to fix it, it will be as simple as that. I only mentioned extending your warrenty, because most people don't choose one longer than a year.

    When I found out the battery power length of time on the 1150 I was really disappointed in that and some other aspects of that computer.....I only had it 2 weeks and decided to send it back and I upgraded to the new Inspiron6000D......How long have you had it??......if its been less then 21 days thats what I would suggest doing.....its worth it and you'll thank me!!!

    Wow, everybody seems to have trouble with the 1150, except me, *knocks on wood*, I have had my 1150 for a year at the end of May and I have not had a speck of trouble with it. But in reference to your question, it definitly sounds like a possible short with the motherboard, my recommendation is to call Dell repair and excersize that lovely warranty of yours :P
