Gold Support Was so good. Times Change...I am ignored...
Boot problems.
I start my computer..The Dell page comes up. The progess bar only goes 1/8th across and freezes.
Then,,,
I can wait from 1 minute to infinity....Then pick up my notebook or flex it just right and the bar shoots across and it boots.
Latitude D510.
To me this is a bad or loose spot on the mother board.
Two long chats with tech support had be believe,,,
1) They stall checking other things until you give up.... or
2) see one.
Ironically, I have another D510 Latitude that if I pick up with one hand on the left side..it goes dead and I have to reboot. Guess thats why Dell is going to Metal frames on the new ones..
So , the 1st one that is still under Gold Support...doesnt that sound like the mother board ?
( I had it replaced with a referbished last December under warrenty ).
