not holding power
My 3 yr old dell inspiron 1150 appears to be dead. It was slowly losing power and I brought it to a computer shop who said the battery was ok and I needed a new power supply unit which I ordered from Dell and they were able to get it running well for a month.
Now when the laptop is plugged in all I get is stuttering lights displayed, I have alot of important files in this computer and I would hate to lose alot of them but am unable to transfer with a flashdrive as the computer will not turn on for any length of time,
Please advise I am dissappointed with this performance by a reputable company I prefer not to spend $$$$$$$ on the line with a technician only to find our this is a hopeless case.

Tigerdirect.ca or Tigerdirect.com has them for $24.99 and $19.99 respectivly ...
if you don't have another computer available buy the external anyway, and take it to a computer store, and ask them to extract the C:\Documents and Settings folder onto CD or DVD for you. Most stores will charge around $40-70 for this depending on how long it takes, and what optical media you require.
