This isn't quite true I suspect
but you probably do have a point with it potentially not being worth it, I just forked out a fair amount for it in the hopes I wouldn't have to replace it too soon

the most expensive thing to replace is the screen
other than that you can probably do it yourself

Well the battery is fucked
And Dell reckons it's about £130 to replace, that's virtually the price of a warranty itself. I know I can get it for well under 1/2 that price but still...

ebay
and also, you can dowload a battery calibration program from Dell.

Yeah, that's where I'm getting it from if Dell don't sort it within 5 days
(the time I have left on this warranty!)

Where do you get the battery calibration programme from? my battery doesn't hold charge at all right now so it may be too late
