R2 just arrived... and not without problems ofc :)

Hey folks. Just got my refurbd lap. looks like the power supply adaptor that came with it is wrong model. I got this one off a ebay reseller. when booting up machine makes a noise and says "the adaptor connected is not supported". What d'ya think I should do? Should I first contact seller or go form ownership and demand new power adaptor from DELL?
Not like i didnt know such thing would happen...
so to give more on what adaptor is it, here's what it says:
PA-7E FAMILY
MODEL DA210PE1-00
input 100-240V
Also i noticed that the upper anodized aluminum case is sort of "insterted wrong", ill upload a pic in the evening after my class, but as of right now i say its poorly attached from the left side. any1 knows how to de-attach it in order to attach again but properly this time?
Thanks folks

 

Im going through the SAME problem, if you look down a couple threads there is mine. What to do is call up dell tell them they shipped you out the wrong wattage power adapter. To check this go to your BIOS and check in the performance tab or something called that and check what the wattage is. If its not 240 they sent you the wrong one. So call em up tell them they sent you the wrong one and ask for a 240 watt one. It should be overnighted to you and you should get it tomorrow if you hurry!

 

Only problem is he didn't buy from Dell, but it was an eBay reseller.

 

Doesnt matter if you are a reseller that was refurbished you can take the service tag and transfer ownership over to yourself. Because all refurbished laptops come with a standard 1 year warranty

hell, i don't need to replace the lcd, rather just to "shift" the aluminum case

edit: OZ me... do you guys think i can have tech support send me a tech to do it for me since i got warranty ?

edit: @xth thx for the manual man, very helpful

edit: call me weirdo but i think my display has troubleshooting with colors... looks like left side shows different color than the right side. im looking at white forum post box, its darker on left end O_O is that normal?

 

Maybe you should post some screenshot? that proof you are not weirdo
