    :( sucks to be right now. will have to get my dad to contact customer support and get a new one sent to him, then another 2 weeks to get it shipped to an overseas APO.

    I tried to contact dell support online but apparently dells **** site is region specific and it will only allow me to contact Dell UK :mad: they cannot help me unless I transfer my warranty over to the UK.

    At least it was still under warranty. That situation is really easy to avoid, just keep it straight, even when you wrap it up, and never pin it against a wall or other oblect, and it should outlast your system.
