Dell Inspiron 5552 Motherboard failure (again)

Back in November of 2015, I purchased 2 Dell Inspiron 15 5552 laptops for my twin daughters for Christmas.

In July of 2016, one of my daughter's laptops died and would beep 7 times (what the internet likes to call the 7 beeps of death).  After getting in touch with customer service they determined it was a motherboard failure and had me send in the laptop for repair.  The laptop was returned a couple of weeks later with a new motherboard and a new power supply and all has been fine until last week.

Last week, less than a year after the motherboard replacement/repair and of course 6 months after the warranty has expired, the same laptop has once again had a motherboard failure.  I called Dell's out of warranty repair service and they want over $270.00 to repair the laptop which is more than what I actually paid for the thing in the first place!  Not to mention that if i get it repaired, they will only warranty the repair for 90 days!

Now my husband and I have been loyal Dell customers for over 10 years and this is the 6th computer we've purchased from them and I need to be honest, this is the last time I will ever purchase another Dell computer.  In my opinion, this is a design flaw and I just want to make everyone aware that Dell's quality has gone down the drain.
