Continuous issues with support since 8-24-15
Has anyone else had major issues with support? I purchased my Alienware 17 on July 11th, and was very happy with it until I noticed it would freeze for a few seconds and the fans would kick on really loud. I called support and they scheduled to replace the motherboard and SSD. The onsite support did not show up the first scheduled appointment. When I called they said they had showed up on Thursday, but I had it down they were to come Friday. I figured it was somehow miss-scheduled, so I rescheduled the following week on Friday. This time the onsite tech definitely did not come. When I called them Monday they said the tech was sick and they apologized I was not notified. I rescheduled again, and this time I did have to cancel the appointment the day of due to an emergency. I rescheduled again and last Monday the tech showed up as I left for work and my wife stayed for the repair. Upon arriving home I realized the tech had replaced the SATA drive with a drive with an image which conflicted with the SSD drive and created an issue with my boot partitions. Since then my system has been pretty much unusable. Today I received a replacement, but it has the primary image installed on the SATA drive and the SSD is blank. I was transferred to the software department who said I would have to pay a fee to rectify this, then back to the hardware department who is trying to assist me in resolving this, but its at least four hours a day on the phone trying to rectify an issue that now seems was created by support assist: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/why-launches-dell-bloatware-in-alien-such-as-dell-support-assist-agent-version-and-dell-data-vault.771147/page-5 . Is there any escalation process to get my system fixed correctly and get me back to work and not on the phone with support? Its been almost two months.
