    So my mom just loves to set my r3 on the power plug standing up instead of setting it flat. Every time she does it, it gets a bit more movement in it.

    Do you guys think dell will warr this if something happens? It is about 2 months old now so it has plenty of time. i would hate to get screwed on it if something happens and they wont fix it.

    it just burns me that she has to set it like that... 1700 computer and she has done it two or three times now. I just dont want it to get worse since it def more loose now than it was new. man im irritated!

    Just tell your mom she is breaking your powerjack. She probably dont understand cuz she is a woman. :p

    Give Dell a call and tell them the powerjack is getting loose dont tell them anything about what moms did. ;)

    the power plug? oh that's an easy no hassle replacement. I know someone that got there's replaced by dell even being out of warranty by 2 months. If you're really concerned, just call them like Brabostaan suggested.
