> First of all, I am really surprised that Dell Customer Service does not exist anylonger as soon as you finish the warranty period. For top gamma laptop like this I would have expected more. Agreed. Try a local computer repair shop, might be cheaper. > I have always had problems with fans and hyperventilation, but lately sometims it gets really hot that it can be even dangerous. Hard to tell like this, maybe you have fans clogged with dust or bad thermal paste? > I noticed my trackpad started swelling and it's more difficult to click on it. It is a swollen battery underneath, not the trackpad. You likely won't be able to get a genuine replacement from Dell (welcome to the Dell customer irritation programme), so try looking up a compatible (rather than "genuine") online, preferably from a seller with good user feedback. There are often issues with replacement batteries, and one mostly can't mail them back in case of problems. Swelling may damage the trackpad etc and is an increased fire risk. IMMEDIATELY, drain the battery slowly (laptop idling), and then get the battery out carefully, following the online service manual. The laptop should work on AC without the battery. If you can't get it out immediately, set max charge level to zero in BIOS in or using Dell Command | Power Manager.
