Yep. It seems all my Dell Laptop batteries die at 13 months. They warranty them for 12 months. -Sam From: Mark Boeck [mailto:netadmin...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, November 21, 2011 2:25 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Anybody else having large failure rates of Dell Power Supplys, SFF Model Optplex 390 and/or 790? The cheapest way to have a machine die on-time is to put in capacitors that will die in 2, 3, or 4 years, depending on how long you want the product to last. This is not a quality issue, but a death at a predetermined time issue. On Fri, Nov 18, 2011 at 11:56 AM, Matthew W.

These are 2 labs of 32 computers each... one lab is Dell Optiplex 390 SFFs, the other is Dell Optiplex 790 SFFs. I think they use the exact same PS. Issues are either A) No power and no lights, B) Blinking yellow power lights and won't turn on, or C) *Poof* smoke. We have 8 failures in the past month out of 64 computers. I'm just curious if anybody else on the list is seeing similar failures for recent SFF dells... Sales rep contacted, I'm awaiting response. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
