I have this laptop above and that is piece of $hit. It's been about an
year, it lits Power LED and Battery LED (even though there isn't any
battery presents), and it simply doesn't turn on. I'm thinking that's
symptom of static shock, if that happends to my desktop, I usualy could
fix by simply turn on after temporarily removing video card and mem
module, hear the bios error beep code, put them back in, see it work. but
this damn laptop integrates every single peices you can think of to main
mobo, impossible to apart. Called Dell customer's service, telling me
it cost $239 to fix minium if either mobo(which comes back once a while)
or screen is defect it will cost me another $699!!! Now that's about how
much I paied for that piece of cr@p. Dell is so ripping customer off,
they had times when the service, good performance, and good reputation,
but I guess they hit their top.

This is the reason for upgrading to the three-year warranty at purchase.

They are not ripping you off.
Try to acquire a Mobo (new) and install it yourself, $239 for parts
and labor is a GOOD deal.
If your LCD is damaged, same thing, try finding a new one for 700$ and
get back to us

I meant labor is $239 minimum, and if either mobo or LCD is damaged, $699
for replacement fee addition to that.
I can post reply from dell.
Either way Yes, Components are pricy. New mobo for street price arounds
$350 - 450, for LCD I expect to cost less than mobo
