I have a new Inspiron Duo just a month old.  Last week the accelerometer stopped working and I received a message on start up advising me to turn it on in the control panel.  Of course, when I looked it was turned on so I phoned support who kindly took over my computer via the web and carefully reset the system to factory settings, it started working again.  I have now spent 18 hours reinstalling software and testing settings.  All was fine till three hours ago then suddenly it dropped out again and the accelerometer doesn't work.  I can't keep on affecting a factory reset, there is not enough time left in my life to keep reinstalling software each week.

Has anyone come across this problem? and can anyone tell me why it might have happened and how to prevent it happening again?

If it happens again it's going back whence it came!!!!!!!!!!!
