Fingerprint Reader Just Burnt My Finger !

lol well my fingerprints are still intact although i think i feel a little blister coming on, i hope not as its Fing painfull to type with an a blister would be even worse .....

im thinking its a short somewhere to , but it seems strange its just done it of its own accord it works fine most of the time , although for paying so much extra over the upek fp reader it is shocking how many times u have to coax my reader to take a fingerprint after standby or a logout .....

think i will have words with them about that too maybe try the other fp reader

 

Is this a new feature for protection? Like a car that electrocutes people trying to break in?

 

yeh that thoughts crossed my mind .... would work out a pretty good defense as onloy the reader is searing hot right now everything else seems normal ...

 

i have been in contact with a very helpfull news reporter of a very well known tech site who has been in contact her their contact from dell who now wants to contact me directly regarding this dodgy matter

i assume they will be taking my whole laptop though , im not too fussed i think i will tell them to keep it as thats twice in less than 2 months i have had fairly serious problems with this machine ,

thinking of maybe an HP machine or perhaps stay with dell (who i have now owned 6 latitudes an one inspiron) and go for a precision m4400 as i was originally going to go for the m4400 but the website wasnt giving me the configuration i wanted

 

Call dell and tell them you've been physically and mentally scarred, that you have nightmares sleeping and have suffer from post traumatic stress disorder... threaten to sue unless they make a settlement to equip us all with a fully loaded dell m6400

 

lol i wish i could pull a deal like that

i did get a bloody sore blister on my index finger , typing was painfull for a day or two lol ! i burst it now tho

 

some worker drone from dell's indian call center just called and said he is sorry for my injury and is glad to inform me that he will be willing to give me a live for like machine and recover the one that burnt my finger....

should i just roll over or should i go for an upgraded machine due to whats happened ?

 

i think you should ask them for a better system as you have been mentally scarred and a good moral boost is welcomed.

 

It actually does hurt my finger when I use it too many times. It gets very numb.

 

well i have been in talks with one of there customer relation guys from the usa and he has been talking to the uk guys and trying to sort something out

i suggested an upgrade to a precision system but apparently the uk are saying i can have a high end xps e.g.g the m1730 but i checked it out and its really not what i want , for a start there not very pretty , it has a much slower cpu and for a 17 incher it doesnt even have the option of a quad core!

it will have one of those glossy screens which i dont like atall as far as i know they have no displayport or hdmi i would have to use a dvi to hdmi cable

no fingerprint reader although im not sure if i want one of these now lol

they are huge big clunky machines with no battery like compared to latitudes and even the precision would last longer than a dual gpu machine

thing is if they force me to take a xps and continue saying that its impossible to exchange for a precision i want a totally maxed out xps , and even then i still wont be too happy with it ...

ideally id have the upgrade to a precision for the better gpu and a quad core and i would be happy that dell have tried their best to make ammends and not push me towards getting hp machines in the future

plus the fact i am now on my 6th latitude as i was a big fan of them and i also owned an early inspiron before the latitudes ! id say im the kind of customer they should be bending over backwards to keep but who knows !
