Last year sometime before June we were told we could finally get the upgrade for our M1730's from the worthless 8700 nVidia cards to the 8800M GTX cards.  What a blessing this card was once "I" installed it.  We all even asked Lionel if it was still covered by our warranties.  He said "Yes".  Great Dell comes through, or did they.  Today I called Tech Support because my laptop would not post.  The tech had me turn off, remove the battery, remove the power, hold the power for 10 secs.  Then while holding down the "FN" key turn on the computer.  The Num Lock and Caps Lock were flashing and the Scroll Lock was steady.  I was told I needed to get a tech out to replace my video card.  It is good that I asked what cards they had on file for me.  He said the 8700.  I said look again with this order number.  He found it and then asked if I installed it or did a tech. I said I did.  He said he needed to put me on hold.  He came back and said he would not send a tech out since I was the one that replaced it.  He would send the part.  My biggest question to Lionel, If he cares to answer.  Will I have this problem if the main board goes bad too?  I suggest you all rethink your choices.  And I suggest Lionel make sure he specifies the fine print when he makes a bold statement like our warranty will cover this.
