Dell Latitude model 3440 Here's a brief history of my laptop repair: 1) I contacted Dell Out-Of-Warranty support on October 29, for replacing the keyboard on my laptop which was not functioning properly. They created Dell Purchase ID: 2006729006325 and asked me to ship the laptop to Dell Depot in Houston. Everything else worked fine on the laptop, including the video and audio portions. I repeatedly asked the Dell technician to make sure my laptop was functioning properly before it was sent back to me. The keyboard was replaced and the OS was reinstalled on my laptop when I received it back on Nov 21, 2017. The laptop booted up but the webcam, the microphone, and Bluetooth connections were lost. Clearly the laptop was not functionally tested before being returned to me. 2) I spent many hours with Dell support who managed to get the webcam and the Bluetooth connection working but could not get the microphone to work. He said the laptop needs to come back to Dell Depot for further repairs. Once again, I wrote a note with the shipment asking the technicians to make sure all peripherals were working properly before being shipped back. The laptop was shipped back to Dell and it came back with the OS once again reinstalled. Once again, the laptop booted up but the webcam, the microphone, and Bluetooth connections were lost. Clearly the laptop was again not functionally tested before being returned to me. 3) After spending much time on the phone with Dell support, I was told that a Dell technician will visit and repair the laptop at my location. The technician arrived on Jan 30, 2018 and quickly replaced the webcam and the Bluetooth hardware on my laptop and tested it. Nothing works again. He got on the phone to Dell support and spend about 45 minutes working on my laptop with the help of Dell phone support. He tried to reinstall some of the drivers and was unable to do it. While the Dell technician was taking apart my laptop, he showed me several areas where the laptop was damaged or improperly repaired by the Dell Depot. Here are the pictures of the exterior mishaps that he showed me. Dent obviously made from the inside of the laptop while being repaired at Dell Depot. I had never opened the laptop before. The keyboard is misaligned and improperly installed by Dell Depot. Stripped screw installed by Dell Depot while repairing the laptop. The Dell technician then told me this laptop has been damaged by Dell Depot beyond repair. He said there are numerous hardware and software issues with this laptop and he thinks the only solution is for Dell to replace this laptop. 4) I contacted Dell about a replacement laptop and was told my case has been escalated to a different division of Dell support. I was promised a speedy repair of all the problems with the laptop WITH THE SUPERVISION of the escalation department and once again the laptop went back to Dell for yet another attempt at repairing the damage caused by Dell Depot. On Feb 2, 2018 Mr. Ankur Kumar of Dell Escalation Support team ensured me that he will personally follow up to make sure the 4th repair attempt is the final one and the repaired laptop will come back to me with full functionality checkup. He also ensured me that all the physical damage done by Dell Depot would be repaired or replaced prior to shipping. 5) The laptop was returned to me and I received it on Feb 25, 2018. None of the physical damage was addressed. The webcam, internal microphone, and Bluetooth connections were still non-functional. I contacted Mr. Ankur Kumar and he offered to repair the laptop again, which I refused. It has been more than four months since late October 2017 and four separate attempts by Dell at repairing the damage that was caused at Dell Depot to my laptop. I am not willing to try any more repairs on this laptop. I would like a replacement laptop from Dell. Dell refuses to replace my laptop, which is a useless machine to me right now.
