This was now my second time calling Dell/Alienware tech. support, First they were going to ship back my laptop because of the dead pixel, then not, then a technician would come over to replace my motherboard, but now they were not going to do anything about the dead pixel. Support can't even get its own story straight between phone calls.

These calls summarize at least 2hrs of talking and testing on the phone with a tech support agent.

Then I made the dreadful mistake of looking up m17x problems on google…

I find out they send old refurbished motherboards when a system gets repaired, so I call tech support about this issue, he couldn't tell me either way if a refurbished motherboard would be used or not.. so I said: if a technician shows up here with that I will send him home packing.. and I will ship my entire unit back.

In closing all I can say is buyer beware of Alienware.

You are able to sample a couple of more music and the patience usually pays off. Do not be in a rush either, you risk getting emo or folk songs you might not end up listening to at all.
