Dell D430 overheating?

True, you are right.

The system is currently in production and I hope it gets shipping soon. It should be shipping maybe tomorrow since its refurbished and from outlet.

 

Update:

I spoke to Dell about the issues stated above and they agreed to send me a docking station. The battery won't be replaced until I receive the laptop, however it sounds like I may get the battery slice (as per the chat rep). The WWAN card as per the Dell rep will come with it, however after taking a look at the order it may not. If that is the case, I can do the swap, but that version doesn't work with windows 7.

Anyway, I just took a look at the order and its SHIPPED! So it should arrive tomorrow. I found the part number for the backlite KB and once everything is a-ok with the laptop, I will replace it.

I will keep everyone updated

 

Well, I got the system, but I was having issues with the wireless. So I took a look and everything was connected, but the screw was messed up:



Now I need to send the laptop to depot to have it fixed.

*sigh* it never ends...

 

You could always ask for a replacement system again. Have them order a new one this time for the amount of time that you have spent trying to get your system fixed. They might not do it, but it couldn't hurt to try.

Couldn't hurt to escalate it either: https://support.dell.com/support/to...lcare/outstanding_issues_tech?c=us&l=en&s=gen

 

I just filled out that form - thank you for that and I hope to hear from them soon.

 

I filled out the form and they got back to me, however as expected, no luck. So I sent my laptop back in without the battery and HD.

I received everything else requested for the exchange, so all and all I think I should be good. I will keep everyone updated when I can.
